1938: Northern Ireland team v Morocco

Tuffey, Hodson, McGivern, Hughes, Evans, Barton, Gorman, McGinn, McCourt, Brunt, Patterson.

Well done, our boy, even if Ryan Esson never lets him get a sniff of the goalmouth! A lovely guy, a great goalkeeper, I hope he does well tonight. (ps I sponsor his gloves!)

0-0 so far. England 1-0 down to World Cp flops France! (benzema)

Also.....Rep of Ireland 1-1 Norway

Morocco go 1-0 up early in the second half. Tuffey went off at half time.

Coincidence...

If Tuffey, our reserve keeper, can get a game for northren ierland why can't Esson, our number one keeper, get a game for scotland?

Because Scotland are much better off for good keepers than N.Ireland...

Well, from BBC:

Morocco had been gifted the lead in the 55th minute by a mistake by substitute goalkeeper Alan Blayney.

tuffey had a good half blayney had a shocker it just proves i little bit of ict in your team boost your team

Esson is quite rightly our number 1, but Tuffey could be great in the future. It would be a shame if he were to leave because he's not gettuing a game. Maybe we should send him on loan to a club struggling in the keeper department untill end of season so he gets first team action. Maybe with a clause that if Esson gets injured, he has to return within the week.
