Sono molto differenti le reazioni dei sostenitori di Irlanda del Nord, Scozia e Galles alle gare delle rispettive nazionali. Mentre l’ Ulster festeggia con fierezza il punto raccolto contro l’ Italia dai propri ragazzi, l’ appassionata “Tartan Army” scozzese non lesina critiche a Mr. Levein ed alla squadra sconfitti dalla Repubblica ceka. Non è solo il risultato negativo a fare infuriare i sostenitori scozzesi ma, soprattutto, l’assurdo ed inedito 4-6-0 messo in campo dall’ allenatore. Male anche il Galles che conferma il proprio periodo di scarsa forma. Non giocava l’ Inghilterra dove la stampa si interroga sull’ incremento degli incidenti correlati alle gare di calcio con notevole incremento dei minorenni coinvolti. Secondo la polizia essi starebbero dando nuova linfa alle storiche “firms” con il proposito dichiarato di rinverdire le gesta degli anni settanta ed ottanta.

 

David Healy is challenged by Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini

Northern Ireland boss Nigel Worthington praised his team after the scoreless draw with Italy at Windsor Park.

“We had a big heart, worked hard and the discipline within the team was magnificent,” he said.”I think we’re in a good position but the players are disappointed with just a point – we had a couple of chances and we didn’t pass the ball well.”I’m delighted by their attitude, not thinking of a draw but instead wanting to beat the former world champions.”David Healy wasted Northern Ireland’s best chance against Italy and has now gone 14 games without a goal.However, the country’s all-time leading scorer retains the backing of Worthington.

We have got to be ultra professional in our preparations for the game. Nigel Worthington

“It’s just not dropping for him but I will stick by him, he has got my support,” he added.”The hour he had will make him all the more fresher for the Faroe Islands game.”Worthington’s focus is now on Tuesday’s away qualifier against the Faroes, who lost 5-1 in Slovenia on Friday night.”We have got to be ultra professional in our preparations for the game and try to get three points, which will not be easy,” he said.”Their manager Brian Kerr knows the British games, he knows our players and will know how to set his team up against us.”

Craig Levein insists he was happy with his controversial formation despite Scotland’s 1-0 defeat by the Czech Republic in their Euro 2012 qualifier.

“I was happy with it,” said the coach about a formation in Prague that did not include an out-and-out striker.”I picked a system that I thought was working very well.”We lost a goal to a set-piece, but I can’t fault the lads for what we did tonight. We restricted them for the majority of the game.Roman Hubnik scored the only goal with a close-range header in the 70th minute, but it was a game that rarely featured Scotland as an attacking force.Levein had played without an out-and-out striker, leaving an in-form Kenny Miller frustrated and apparently angry on the bench.Asked what he would say to those who will say he should have used a different system, the Scotland boss sarcastically told BBC Scotland: “Yes, and that different system always results in a victory doesn’t it

We have a game on Tuesday and it gives us a chance to bounce back from this defeat Scotland coach Craig Levein

“The whole game plan wasn’t to lose a goal and, when we lose a goal, it all changes, of course.”We lost a goal to a set-piece, which generally we are good at defending, but I think we had some pretty good performances out there.”A lot of hard work went into the performance tonight and I can’t fault them.”Scotland now have four points from three games ahead of the match against world champions Spain at Hampden on Tuesday night.”We have a game on Tuesday and it gives us a chance to bounce back from this defeat,” said Levein.

“I made it pretty clear that I picked a system to play against the Czech Republic and it will be a different system on Tuesday night.”It’s not disastrous. The Czech Republic have still to come to play at Hampden and, if we win that game, it evens it up over the two matches.”It’s not a fatal blow by any stretch of the imagination. We are still in it, we will keep working as hard as we did this evening and we will do our best to improve for Tuesday and the games that are still to come.”

Scotland forward Steven Naismith denied any suggestions of unrest among the players over Levein’s formation.

“The manager is very thorough in what he does,” he said. “He does a lot of homework on the other teams and every player is right behind. He has a good spirit in the team.”We are all professional footballers and we can adapt. We all play different systems with our clubs and everybody knew their roles and had worked hard on it all week.”We perhaps did not make the best of the opportunities that came our way.”Naismith thought the Scots still had a chance of qualifying for the finals in Poland and Ukraine despite the defeat.”It is very disappointing,” he added. “The biggest thing we are disappointed with is that it was a set play. They have not carved us open.”The Czech Republic have quality players who can cut you open, but it was a set-piece got through us.”

Dopo il grande successo di “Lads 2009” (ultimissime copie )

AnteprimaIN ESAURIMENTO Un noto leader di una Firm, richiesto di commentare i consueti incidenti procurati all’estero dai Lads, dichiarò alla stampa “Margaret Thatcher ci deve condannare pubblicamente ma dentro di sè sarà sicuramente orgogliosa del lavoro fatto dai ragazzi”.. Questo libro si propone come un viaggio attraverso quarant’anni di trasferte oltre Manica dei Casuals britannici al seguito delle selezioni nazionali e delle squadre di club. La narrazione delle principali trasferte può facilmente diventare il paradigma per descrivere centinaia di giornate nelle quali le firms hanno esportato all’estero il loro bagaglio di fedeltà, nazionalismo, alcoolismo e, spesso, anche violenza. Il volume si propone come naturale seguito di “Lads 2009”, dello stesso autore, che illustra la scena attuale dei mobs britannici tra le mura domestiche. Sangue, birra e Red Hand gli ingredienti ricorrenti di un cocktail spesso esplosivo
