Rankings are only part of the story

A side with Kyle Lafferty up front topped a qualification group for the first time in their entire history.

city talked to O Neil reps (NCFC) - roland rat, May 2, 10:24:51

      - Wow. (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 11:38:13
        
        When have FIFA rankings ever been given any serious credence? (n/m) (NCFC) - bird table, May 2, 12:11:42
        
        Why wouldn't they be? (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 12:14:28
        
        But as I said, that's only part of the story. (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 12:15:20
        
        I dunno, I'm with Gob and Trent on this. I'd rather we looked elsewhere. (n/m) (NCFC) - bird table, May 2, 12:38:20
        
        I'm not sure I want him either! (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 12:42:38
        
        Lawrie Sanchez has a higher win percentage (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, May 2, 12:03:30
        
        So? (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 12:10:42
        
        It's certainly helped that there are a lot of European International sides (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, May 2, 11:51:38
        
        And so Northern Ireland have risen up the rankings by mistake. (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 12:12:16
        
        You said he's done an inspirational job. (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, May 2, 12:22:12
        
        Semantics (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 12:27:33
        
        His achievements don't inspire me for the reasons I've already given (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, May 2, 12:31:38
        
        Except, with respect, you reasons don't stack up. That's my point. (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 12:36:50
        
        With respect I think they're perfectly valid points. (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, May 2, 12:49:53
        
        Yes, I suppose technically he was... ;) (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 12:52:52
        
        Oh come on .. (NCFC) - Gob on a Stick, May 2, 11:44:05
        
        You're telling me to 'come on' while suggesting he'd need to beat the world champions (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 12:10:19
        
        No I used the word inspirational not impress (NCFC) - Gob on a Stick, May 2, 12:17:33

    - silverware (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, May 2, 11:15:25
      - I think the European Championships or World Cup may be just beyond them. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, May 2, 11:20:29
        
        exactly the type of attitude we don't need! (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, May 2, 11:23:15
