Maybe you'd rather it went to one of the more fashionable teams, John, like Italy or Spain, or another nice Catholic country maybe. I'm damned pleased it went to my homeland and that they have proved what wonderful support they can put out, despite the poor run of results they suffered over the last few years and I don't give two hoots what colour they paint their kerbs.

SUPPORTERS AWARD WELL DESERVED 07/09/2006 by Colleen Macauley Last night was memorable not only for the fantastic performance on the pitch, but also for the performance from the stands. The Green and White Army proved they are the best supporters in Europe and worthy winners of the Brussels International Supporters Award. The ceremony on the pitch before kick off was a fitting tribute to the dedication and vision of the Amalgamation of Official Northern Supporters. Jim Rainey as inspirational ‘figurehead’ accepted the award on behalf of all supporters to the voluminous chant of ‘there’s only one Jim Rainey’ and proved to the Brussels contingency that their decision making process was as accurate as any of Healy’s three goals. Philippe Housiaux, Chief Executive of Dialogic was overwhelmed by the experience at Windsor Park for yet ‘another night in September’. He explained the decision was taken as a result of a paper-based exercise but the reality of the atmosphere reinforced their choice. The delegates were particularly impressed by the attitude of the supporters during the Spanish National Anthem with their respectful silence followed by tumultuous applause. He concluded that the evening would forever remain a lasting memory of their short spell in Belfast. Well done to ALL Northern Ireland Supporters.
