It was a disappointing start to Northern Ireland's Euro

:00:11.:00:15.

campaign in France as they lost 1-0 to Poland.

:00:16.:00:17.

Poland had Northern Ireland under pressure for much of the match.

:00:18.:00:30.

Thank you. Northern Ireland have had to wait 30 years to reach a major

:00:31.:00:37.

finals and this is their very first European Championships. In the end,

:00:38.:00:41.

it was a frustrating night for the team, the players admitting they

:00:42.:00:44.

were perhaps overawed by the occasion. The site was greeted by

:00:45.:00:54.

thousands of fans who had made the trip to Nice. Michael O'Neill's men

:00:55.:01:01.

held out for the first half, but Bullen struck early. Arkadiusz Milik

:01:02.:01:08.

scored and it was a well-deserved goal. Northern Ireland had their

:01:09.:01:14.

chances, Connor McLaughlin lined himself in a perfect position but

:01:15.:01:19.

couldn't capitalise on it. Towards the end, a training ground moves

:01:20.:01:23.

Steven Davis in on goal, but the captain couldn't get his stride

:01:24.:01:28.

right with the shot. So, Northern Ireland with a lot of work to do. I

:01:29.:01:33.

have just spoken to Michael O'Neill and Hughes says he knows his team

:01:34.:01:37.

will probably have two beat Ukraine in the next game if they are to

:01:38.:01:40.

progress to the quarterfinals that he was still very proud of their

:01:41.:01:41.

valiant effort tonight. This was the reaction Steven Davis

:01:42.:01:42.

gave to Stephen just I think we need to be brave and

:01:43.:01:58.

better on the ball. We have to do better than that to get through the

:01:59.:02:03.

group, but hopefully it is a learning curve and we will learn

:02:04.:02:06.

from it. How does this defeat change your approach in the next game

:02:07.:02:13.

against Ukraine? We always knew the first game would be difficult and we

:02:14.:02:15.

dug deep but it wasn't good enough. Helen, what's the atmosphere

:02:16.:02:17.

like there this evening? Crowds are continuing to disperse,

:02:31.:02:34.

there is no doubt about the band the's disappointed. Many are having

:02:35.:02:41.

to be philosophical about the results -- fans. There are thousands

:02:42.:02:48.

of people here and others spread across the city, the buyers, beaches

:02:49.:02:52.

and campsites. Most seem determined to enjoy the experience, despite the

:02:53.:02:59.

goal line. It very much sums up the good natured and relaxed atmosphere

:03:00.:03:02.

throughout the day, even when that final whistle blew. Last night, some

:03:03.:03:08.

Northern Ireland fans were injured and one was arrested during minor

:03:09.:03:09.

trouble. Police say a group of

:03:10.:03:11.

French football hooligans The trouble broke out right in the

:03:12.:03:23.

centre of Nice. French police quickly stopped the violence with

:03:24.:03:31.

the help of the PSNI. They had been working, singing and partying

:03:32.:03:35.

together all afternoon. What provoked this violence was a group

:03:36.:03:40.

of the French hooligans becoming involved. To us, it looked like they

:03:41.:03:44.

had come down to instigate some trouble. A Polish fans and six

:03:45.:03:51.

Northern Ireland 's fans went to hospital together. This was one of

them. I was trying to get out of the way of the bottles that were flying

:03:59.:04:01.

and after a couple of minutes, I realised they had sliced me. I was

:04:02.:04:05.

dripping with blood, so I had to go to hospital. I got four stitches.

:04:06.:04:10.

Although they didn't start the trouble, some Northern Ireland fans

:04:18.:04:18.

were noisy but well-behaved. Northern Ireland fans are definitely

:04:19.:04:31.

disappointed, but all eyes will be on the next match against Ukraine.

:04:32.:04:36.

Many fans are planning to make that trip north because it will be a very

:04:37.:04:38.

important game. We have a specially extended late
