WELCOME FROM GARY MCALLISTER Welcome to another edition of The 12th Man. We look forward to tonight’s vital match against Azerbaijan, with our visitors proving to be something of a surprise package in the early fixtures in Group C. I think most of us would be happy enough to be sitting with four points at this stage, but tonight’s game really gives us an opportunity to set ourselves up for the rest of the campaign.

WELCOME FROM MICHAEL O’NEILL

I would like to take this opportunity to again remind those of us who make our way through residential areas on our way to the stadium that we should all take care to do so in a way which is considerate to those live there. I guess the best ‘rule of thumb’ is to behave in a way you would expect others to if they were passing your own home.

As far as this qualifying campaign goes, this is our most important match as we face an Azerbaijan side who will be looking to continue their push for qualification. We’re expecting a tough game. They have seven points from nine and have made a good start not conceding a goal.

The AONISC continues to meet with local residents at the Community Forum and we have given a commitment that we will continue to encourage respectful behaviour around international matches, so please bear the message in mind.

They’re not a team that are going to come and attack us really, they are a team that are going to be very well organised. Having watched their three games, we expect that it will be a very difficult game.

I hope that you all enjoy the game and that we’re able to secure three vital points on the ‘Road To Moscow’!

Playing in front of a packed National Football Stadium at Windsor Park is always very exciting for us and we will be looking to use this to our advantage. Rounding off the year with a result at home is important for our momentum in this campaign.
