1) A loose pass by Speed allegedly led to Ukraine's first goal (according to the radio) 2) Hughes put in a superb tackle to stop Berger scoring but the Czech Republic scored 3 and he got booked for time wasting (timewasting when you're trailing - that's novel) 3) Shay playing really well for the RoI.

Actually, they weren't trailing at that point - they were 1-1 - which would be respectable for NI so maybe he was timewasting. Also, the two later goals were in the last two minutes and, according to the Beeb, were yards offside. So maybe it's not as bad as all that. That Kuka player is obviously handy, though..

Hmm - I thought NU lost 2-1, with both Czech goals in the last 2 mins (funny, didn't see any ManUre players in their team). At least one was defo NOT offside. FB on the line guarding the other post.
