This will teach the Irish to beat us

Post by chelsea »

Found this in the UK papers this morning

A RED-FACED radio presenter is to hand over more than £1,600 to charity after Northern Ireland’s shock World Cup defeat of England.

BBC Northern Ireland’s Stephen Nolan, who predicted a crushing home loss, agreed to pay 50p for every text call acclaiming David Healy’s winning goal at Windsor Park.

There were more than 3,200 messages to his Belfast studios in the space of just under an hour and a half.

A shocked Nolan, who also hosts a weekend night-time show on Five Live, later presented a cheque to triumphant Northern Ireland manager Lawrie Sanchez.

He has also been invited by Irish Football Association president Jim Boyce to be a guest at next month’s qualifying match against Wales.

Nolan said: "I don’t like getting it wrong, because I just couldn’t see
England losing.

"I’m torn with emotion and the fans have really stuck the boot in.

"They’ve shown no mercy and I suppose I deserve all the abuse I’m getting."

"Its cost me at least £1,600 and there’s no way out of this. I made a promise and I’ll stick to it. But the tail’s between my legs
:oops: :oops:
