Northern Ireland leading Greece...
Good to see Scotland's boss not doing a Woy and resting Robertson. Reckon Bruce was in his ear.

Whoever put Serbia and Albania in the same qualifying group deserves to be shot. UEFA should be ashamed.
No Albanian fans allowed entry into the Serbian stadium for the match, so they invent a drone to hover above the stadium with an Albanian flag attached to it. Serb players finally grab it, want to give it to the officials so the match can continue, Albanian players step in and steal it, a fight breaks out, spectators run onto the field and now the match has been postponed. What a joke.

O'Shea!!! Scores in the final minute of stoppage time for Ireland to draw level with Germany. BOO YEAH!
It should be noted that the flag flown in was a modified Albanian flag that refers to "greater Albania" with Kosovo and other regions included and the Albanian word for "indigenous" written underneath it.
As far as provocation goes it doesn't get much worse.
The reaction from the Albanian players to attempt to save the flag from being taken away was disgraceful.

People still think Germany will win the Euro's? It's only early days but there seems to be a bit of a hangover there.
Germany, Dutch and Spain seem to be really lacking in the qualifiers.
Good to see the likes of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland performing well.
France my early pick to win it.

What happened: Albania insulted Serbia, Greece, Macedonia, Kosovo etc.
What the brain-washed Americanised media wants you to think: Mitrovic grabbed their flag and ripped it up. Serbs are scum!
Serbs will always be the bad people to everyone. Makes me sick.
Germany have terrible full backs with Lahm retiring.
Have to wonder whether the new system, under which more teams qualify, has taken the edge off some of the better sides, while conversely emboldening some of the lesser lights who now see themselves as having a realistic chance at qualification for a major tournament.
Yeh thats not true at all....at least try to take an unbiased view.
Albanian team were being pelted with flares, objects and having songs sung by the Serbian crowd such as "Kill all Albanians" and "Kill the croat so the Albanian doesnt have a brother" during the game well before the drone was relevant.
Both sides ****ed this up in one way or the other.

Flares were thrown on the field, it did not strike an Albanian player. Heck, we have flares at the A League. It simply happens most countries you go to.
Nationalistic songs/chants being sung at a heated football match... who would have thought!? If it happens at the Aussie Open tennis, then not one person should be shocked that they were being sung at a football match. Croatians chant the equivalent, Albanians do the same, Bosnians equally as bad... but no one cares about them, because "Serbia are always the bad people in these situations".
You tell me to be unbiased yet throw up crap like that. I fully backed a Serbian suspension last time because the supporters crossed the line, but today was nothing but an organised and provocative scheme because the Albanians know only one way - win the dodgy way.

As for the 10 or so idiots that attacked the Albanians as they were attempting to walk to the rooms, they were beaten down by the police and will no doubt be put in jail. The whole Serbian federation will pay for it now.
If they had any sense though, they would charge them individually - ban them for life from attending any matches for starters. As for who gets the points out of this match, it would be ridiculously unfair to steal it from Serbia. To put it simply, the Albanians started it and will finish it in the reverse leg.

WOW. Hope they hang him.

Not that any line has been crossed yet but I just want to get on the front foot with this one.

That will never make the mainstream media. Daily Mail and other UK-based sites have already gone with the headline:
"Serbia's politically-charged Euro 2016 qualifier against Albania abandoned after Serbian defender Stefan Mitrovic pulled down a flag carried by a drone - leading to chaos on and off the field."
Surely they realise that the drone actually caused the chaos? Guess not.
Understood.

Realistically, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro & Albania/Macedonia could've all been drawn in the same group. Scary thought.
We played Croatia in the World Cup qualifiers for the previous World Cup and while there was heat it was nothing pathetic like this from either side.
This is a dirty trick being played by Albania to secure 3 points without having to try too hard. Albanian PMs brother arrested in a corporate box with a remote control ffs.
Somewhere Vlade Divac is having a chuckle peternorth
Vlade Divac is performing humanitarian work to build houses for displaced Serbs that were forced from their homes in the state of Kosovo by the ethnic Albanians living there.

I sincerely doubt he's chuckling about any of this.
