:00:11. > :00:15.It was a disappointing start to Northern Ireland's Euro
:00:16. > :00:17.campaign in France as they lost 1-0 to Poland.
:00:18. > :00:30.Poland had Northern Ireland under pressure for much of the match.
:00:31. > :00:37.Thank you. Northern Ireland have had to wait 30 years to reach a major
:00:38. > :00:41.finals and this is their very first European Championships. In the end,
:00:42. > :00:44.it was a frustrating night for the team, the players admitting they
:00:45. > :00:54.were perhaps overawed by the occasion. The site was greeted by
:00:55. > :01:01.thousands of fans who had made the trip to Nice. Michael O'Neill's men
:01:02. > :01:08.held out for the first half, but Bullen struck early. Arkadiusz Milik
:01:09. > :01:14.scored and it was a well-deserved goal. Northern Ireland had their
:01:15. > :01:19.chances, Connor McLaughlin lined himself in a perfect position but
:01:20. > :01:23.couldn't capitalise on it. Towards the end, a training ground moves
:01:24. > :01:28.Steven Davis in on goal, but the captain couldn't get his stride
:01:29. > :01:33.right with the shot. So, Northern Ireland with a lot of work to do. I
:01:34. > :01:37.have just spoken to Michael O'Neill and Hughes says he knows his team
:01:38. > :01:40.will probably have two beat Ukraine in the next game if they are to
:01:41. > :01:41.progress to the quarterfinals that he was still very proud of their
:01:42. > :01:42.valiant effort tonight. This was the reaction Steven Davis
:01:43. > :01:58.gave to Stephen just I think we need to be brave and
:01:59. > :02:03.better on the ball. We have to do better than that to get through the
:02:04. > :02:06.group, but hopefully it is a learning curve and we will learn
:02:07. > :02:13.from it. How does this defeat change your approach in the next game
:02:14. > :02:15.against Ukraine? We always knew the first game would be difficult and we
:02:16. > :02:17.dug deep but it wasn't good enough. Helen, what's the atmosphere
:02:18. > :02:30.like there this evening? Crowds are continuing to disperse,
:02:31. > :02:34.30 years to qualify for a major tournament and with a loss here,
:02:35. > :02:41.there is no doubt about the band the's disappointed. Many are having
:02:42. > :02:48.to be philosophical about the results -- fans. There are thousands
:02:49. > :02:52.of people here and others spread across the city, the buyers, beaches
:02:53. > :02:59.and campsites. Most seem determined to enjoy the experience, despite the
:03:00. > :03:02.goal line. It very much sums up the good natured and relaxed atmosphere
:03:03. > :03:08.throughout the day, even when that final whistle blew. Last night, some
:03:09. > :03:09.Northern Ireland fans were injured and one was arrested during minor
:03:10. > :03:11.trouble. Police say a group of
:03:12. > :03:23.French football hooligans The trouble broke out right in the
:03:24. > :03:31.centre of Nice. French police quickly stopped the violence with
:03:32. > :03:35.the help of the PSNI. They had been working, singing and partying
:03:36. > :03:40.together all afternoon. What provoked this violence was a group
:03:41. > :03:44.of the French hooligans becoming involved. To us, it looked like they
:03:45. > :03:51.had come down to instigate some trouble. A Polish fans and six
:03:52. > :03:58.Northern Ireland 's fans went to hospital together. This was one of
:03:59. > :04:01.them. I was trying to get out of the way of the bottles that were flying
:04:02. > :04:05.and after a couple of minutes, I realised they had sliced me. I was
:04:06. > :04:10.dripping with blood, so I had to go to hospital. I got four stitches.
:04:11. > :04:17.Although they didn't start the trouble, some Northern Ireland fans
:04:18. > :04:18.to get involved. The police said the vast majority of fans last night
:04:19. > :04:31.were noisy but well-behaved. Northern Ireland fans are definitely
:04:32. > :04:36.disappointed, but all eyes will be on the next match against Ukraine.
:04:37. > :04:38.Many fans are planning to make that trip north because it will be a very
:04:39. > :04:39.important game. We have a specially extended late
:04:40. > :04:42.news tonight at 10:25. We'll also hear from the fanzone
:04:43. > :04:46.in Belfast and we'll have the latest on the Republic's preparations
:04:47. > :04:53.for their first match tomorrow. Four family fun days have taken

:06:14. > :06:17.the weekend. The presets to pick up midweek and it should feel pressure
:06:18. > :06:21.and a bit drier. Before this evening, we should still have some
:06:22. > :06:26.showers around, particularly towards the east. A risk of plunder. Drier
:06:27. > :06:30.and brighter into the data was the west. The west looks in the drive to
