I neversawa team, ive seen some teams losing 70 but team, ive seen some teams losing 7 0 but even when it was three, four, 5 0, they still had their moments, they still had scoring situations and we had to accept the level we played tonight to beat them and then because of the development of the game it was a high result, thats all.

But al jaziras coach admits they didnt really deserve to win. Very lucky to be on the winning side, of course, you have to be honest. We started the game pretty well. After that, it looked like some nervousness came into the team and even after scoring a goal, we didnt recover from that. Probably because of the inexperience of a lot of players but if i look at the game, they were the better side.

Storm caroline, a deep area of low pressure is drifting to the north of the british isles. A band of rain sinking southwards and eastwards but look at all the white lines, the isobars on the chart, very, very windy, Storm Force Winds are possible in Northern Areas and then we opened the floodgates to this very cold air plunging all the way in from the arctic. Were starting thursday on a fairly mild note, a wet note for some and a windy night for all of us. The mild weather will not last, though, because ours are bands of rain clearing south and east and we will all get into cold air, wintry showers in Northern Ireland and scotland but the real concern here is the strength of the wind. As you can see, were expecting wind gusts in excess of 80mph across northern scotland particularly, and it could well be enough to cause some disruption, yes, but also some damage. So the met office has issued an amber be prepared warning for the strength of the wind, and even further south across central parts of scotland, just fringing into Northern Ireland, theres a yellow warning in force, gusts of 70mph possible here. Elsewhere it starts wet and windy across the south eastern corner, that rain will take a while to clear away. Then the skies will brighten and then we get into the wintry showers blown in on this strong north westerly wind, could easily be blizzard conditions in the snow showers and those temperatures coming down as the afternoon goes on. Now, into thursday night, these snow showers will drift further southwards and eastwards. We could see a covering of snow just about anywhere, but mostly in places exposed to this north westerly wind. Could be some icy stretches around as well. A very wintry look to the weather on friday. Some sunshine, still some snow showers, a bitterly cold north westerly will wind, your thermometer will read 2 5 degrees but it will feel subzero for many. Now, saturday looks like it will bring something a little bit quieter, the winds easing from the west. Still very cold but not as many showers at this stage, 1 5, those are the maximum temperatures. Then as we head into the second half of the weekend, its all eyes on this front of system hurtling in from the atlantic. Yes, its going to wring some rain but as it interacts with the cold air theres the potential for some significant snow. Dont take these graphics too literally, theres a lot of uncertainty about the positioning of this, but some significant snow is possible on sunday. We will keep you posted.
