Northern Ireland had a disappointing start to their European Championship | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
campaign, losing 1-0 to Poland in Nice. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
They were kept under pressure for much of the game. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
It is exactly 30 years since Northern Ireland last played at a | :00:21. | :00:34. | |
major football finals will stop but the long-awaited return and their | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
first time playing in the European Championship ultimately ended in a | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
frustrating and disappointing defeat. Michael O'Neill's men beaten | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
for the first time in 13 matches by their own admission, they lost to | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
the better team on the night. Still, a resilient performance by Northern | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Ireland. Unfortunately, the result didn't live up to the occasion. The | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
world was watching every twist and turn of Northern Ireland's return to | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
the football big ten. The players had never experienced anything quite | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
like this before. But they arrived with a record unbeaten run and much | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
anticipation. This is the moment that everyone in Northern Ireland | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
has been waiting to see, these shirts of their country hanging in | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
the dressing room of a major finals. The manager is confident his players | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
would be overawed. The team was greeted by thousands of fans who had | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
made the trip to the south of France. Northern Ireland were forced | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
to suck up Polish press promotes the first half, with Michael McGovern | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
producing a brilliant save to leave it a 0-0 at. But after the second | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
half, Poland struck. There was little he could do with Arkadiusz | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
Milik's strike. It was a goal that Poland deserved. They had chances to | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
equalise and bought right to the end. The captain Steven Davis was | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
through on goal, but couldn't convert. It was difficult, hot out | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
there, against a good team. We let them have a lot of possession and we | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
have done a lot of running, which we had to do. We couldn't get up to the | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
ball at times. It was difficult, it is more mentally draining than | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
anything. Your concentration, you are fully focused and not getting a | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
result, and things like that. So it is disappointing at the minute but | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
we will have to go again and the most important thing now is the | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
reaction to it. We will see how we could do better but you can only | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
dwell on it for maybe a day or 24 hours, because the games are coming | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
on thick and fast and we need to get a good performance against Ukraine. | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
But after the game I spoke to the Northern Ireland manager, Michael | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
O'Neill. Obviously, we're disappointed. I think we could play | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
a lot better than we did. I doubt Poland were very good, to be honest. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
They looked stronger physically. We struggled at the opening part of the | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
game to match their physicality, didn't win enough balls. But we | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
stayed in the game, to be fair to the players, they hung in there. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
It's just look like it was a tough game for us today. It was a steep | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
learning curve. Northern Ireland with it all to do. They will have to | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
beat Ukraine in the next game on Thursday before travelling to play | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
Germany, the world champion, in Paris. | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
Thousands of Northern Irish fans are in Nice to cheer on the green and | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
white army. There is an empty feeling in the | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
centre of Nice in more ways than one. This is the Fan Zone, where | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
more than a thousand Northern Irish fans watch the game earlier on. The | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
result was bad, let's be honest, but most people had a good day out. At | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
least they won the singing contest. Win, lose, or draw, Northern Ireland | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
fans were always going to enjoy themselves. But after the final | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
whistle, there was no disguising the sense of disappointment. | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
Heartbroken. I didn't think there was much in it. No, there wasn't. | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
The way it set out, you only need to win one game, so realistically there | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
is still a chance. That was the view from these bands own. What about the | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
people arriving back from the match? A bit disappointed. A terrible goal | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
to give away. We didn't do ourselves any justice. How are you feeling | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
tonight? A little disappointed. Heartbroken. It was good | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
entertainment, a good night. I'm raging. Better luck next time. I | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
think we went to defensive to start with. We played to a laptop and then | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
nothing worked. Can it be put right? I think Ukraine is a must win now. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
If we don't win in Ukraine, that's it, we are out. Putting aside the | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
result, what about the occasion? Brilliant, a brilliant atmosphere. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
There was no segregation. Polish and Northern Ireland fans were all on | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
the same bus, it was unbelievable. Brilliant. One match gone, at least | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
two to go. Northern Ireland may be down, but they are by no means out. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
There was a little bit of trouble last night in Nice. | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
A party atmosphere, no trouble the centre of Nice at all. But there was | :06:05. | :06:15. | |
a minor incident last night. As you just sign my report, the Northern | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
Irish and Polish fans have got on really well, but they were attacked | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
last night by a small group of French hooligans. I have to be | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
honest, about a dozen or so Northern Ireland fans did retaliate and did | :06:27. | :06:37. | |
throw some bottles at a police men. One fan was arrested. Three Northern | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Ireland fans had been arrested over the course of the last couple of | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
days, not for anything serious but, that's fewer than I normally | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
arrested in Belfast on a Saturday night. | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
More than 15,000 people from Northern Ireland there, | :06:52. | :06:52. | |
They certainly are. Who would believe that this millionaire's | :06:53. | :07:02. | |
playground. Monaco is only up a road. It has become a small corner | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
of Northern Ireland this weekend. Everywhere you go, you seem to bump | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
into someone you know. I met if you -- a few boys from the Shankill Road | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
this morning who asked me where they could get an ice cream soda here. | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
There has been plenty of beer as well, a little bit of drunken | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
behaviour. One fan try to scale a building and we were told they | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
arrested him for his own safety. It has been very good-natured though, | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
those were exceptions. Back to the football, | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
the next match is on Thursday. The reality is now that that bubble | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
of expectation for Northern Ireland, the so-called foreign team of the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
tournament, that bubble has burst. They are seen very much as the | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
underdogs, but that is the way they like it, of course. | :07:52. | :07:52. | |
The match drew a huge television audience at home and thousands | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
of them went to Euro's Fan Zones, with one of the largest crowds at | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
word that the wet weather would put the fans off, they were wrong. | :07:59. | :08:18. | |
Thousands of supporters turned up at titanic Belfast to watch the match | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
on the big screen. As the first half progressed, most of the cheering for | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Northern Ireland's defensive capabilities, rather than strikes on | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
the Polish goal. As long as we keep tight at the back, they will be all | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
right. What you think of the atmosphere? Absolutely brilliant. We | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
brought the kids down very good day out. You could have watched it at | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
home. We could have, but down here is the only place to be. It's good | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
to see the crowds coming out here. You're seeing clips on Facebook, | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
unbelievable, the following. It is just one of a number of Fan Zones | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
across Northern Ireland for the Euros. These are for fans or | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
couldn't get tickets and didn't make the trip to France. That is nothing | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
to dampen their enthusiasm. But when Poland scored, the writing was on | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
the wall, and for some it was too much to bear. We just have to keep | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
going. Well done, Northern Ireland!. Back down. The result wasn't what | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
they were looking for, but the Fan Zone was. | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
In other news, a flat in Lisburn was petrol bombed in the early | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Windows were broken and the inside of the property at Mourne View Park | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
Three men were seen leaving the area on foot shortly afterwards. | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
Four family fun days have taken place in parks across Belfast | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
as part of celebrations for the Queen's Official | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Families braved the weather at Orangefield Park in the east | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
of the city where a number of activities were on offer | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
including archery, face painting and even a petting zoo. | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
Today is organised by Belfast City Council and it is a free fun day for | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
all the family to come down and take part in activities. As usual, here | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
you can never plan the weather and that is what happens. | :10:22. | :10:22. | |
Hundreds of Orangemen in County Down have been commemorating | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
A parade from the Somme Museum near Bangor followed the route taken | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
by the 36th Ulster division when leaving the Clandeboye Estate | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
Some participants wore uniforms of First World War soldiers | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
There were also new banners on display to honour | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
More now on the European football championship, | :10:41. | :10:50. | |
and the Republic have their first match tomorrow in Paris. | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
Martin O'Neill's men face Sweden in the Stade de France. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
The Parisien rain has certainly made the Republic of Ireland players feel | :10:55. | :11:07. | |
at home. They are said to be at full strength for tomorrow's game here at | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
the stadium. Having trained yesterday, Robbie Keane and McCarthy | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
also said to be available the opening fixture. Great to be off to | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
a good start. I'm sure that Sweden are targeting us, in the sense that | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
they feel that if they could win this game against us, it gives them | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
a great chance. We must deal exactly the same way. Martin O'Neill's | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
Neymar going to have to find a way to stop the best players. He has | :11:39. | :11:50. | |
also delivered on the international stage. This tournament, he will | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
become the first player ever to score in four separates European | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Championships. The individual objectives for me comes second, the | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
collective lives two is more important. If the collective can do | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
good, the individual comes amongst that. Most importantly, the team | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
does good and what I do after that, it is a bonus for me. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
GAA now and Fermanagh lost out to Donegal in the Ulster | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
It is Donegal through to the Ulster semifinal. They defeated pro-manner. | :12:20. | :12:39. | |
It all came down to injury time. A penalty was given to Fermanagh. | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
Donegal now just had 14 men. The penalty was missed, meaning Donegal | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
needed to match points at the break. Donegal really took control which | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
means it'll be a repeat of next year's final in this year | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
Well, let's get a look this year at the weather prospects | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
We have some fairly big downpours in places during the course of the | :13:04. | :13:20. | |
weekend, and as we start the new week, we still have a lot of cloud | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
around, showers as well. By the winds are alike, they could be quite | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
slow moving, perhaps not quite as heavy to the weekends. The breeze | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
picks up and it will turn pressure and drier. Still a few showers as | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
well, particularly for Northern and eastern areas. The misty patch is as | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
temperatures settle. Tomorrow, we are still looking at a good deal of | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
cloud in the forecast and some showery rain through the day. We may | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
see some brightness, but only briefly, as the cloud then gathers | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
and we will get some patchy and showery rain moving in from the | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
west. Behind that, it turns a little bit brighter, with showers across | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
the Republic of Ireland. For most of the country, a lot of cloud tomorrow | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
and slow-moving downpours, which could lead to a lot of surface water | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
on the roads, some thunder mixed in. A bit misty and murky. Towards the | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
north-east of Scotland, this is where we will see the best of any | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
dry and sunny weather. Northern Ireland, the cloud will dominate the | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
sky as we head into the afternoon. Still some patchy and showery rain | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
around. Not as heavy as we have seen lately. Temperatures rising to | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
between 16 and 18 degrees. Through the middle part of the week, low | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
pressure is still with us, like twins slow-moving showers. Towards | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
Wednesday, the Isa buyers start to pack in a little bit more towards | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
the west. That is indicative of increasing winds. Tuesday, plenty of | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
showers breaking out and some of those will be heavy and thundery, | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
giving a lot of surface water. They will be quite slow-moving. | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
Slow-moving showers for England and Wales as we head into Wednesday. The | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
winds are still light, but they pick up towards the west and pressure | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
will drive those showers to the south. Into Thursday, still breezy | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
but apart from a few spots of rain, it will be drier. | :15:16. | :15:16. | |
