"The Spaniards are being ruthless and cynical and if we are not careful, from what we have seen already, I am afraid the game will go on to be a disgrace to football."

Gerry Armstrong
Former Northern Ireland striker

"I saw Miguel Alonso kicking lumps out of Martin O'Neill near the corner flag, there were a lot of bad challenges between Jose Alesanco and Miguel Tendillo and myself and Billy Hamilton.

"There was a lot of tension, they obviously wanted to win the game and show their superiority in front of their own fans. We were quite a physical side and I think they felt they also had to be physical."

The game is really starting to boil over now - both sets of players are going in very whole-heartedly.

Spain get a free-kick as Billy Hamilton fouls Luis Arconada but as Jimmy Hill tells us "goalkeepers get a lot of protection these days".

"Whether Juanito is actually faking it and making it look bad I don't now - he is known to be a bit of an actor sometimes in the Spanish league, he can really pile it on. We've got to keep an eye on him because he is clearly out to hold a vendetta against one or two Irish players."

Juanito is down on the ground now after a clash with Norman Whiteside off the ball (and the camera). No-one is booked however.

"A lovely shot of Pat Jennings there - he's in middle age by some standards but is still a wonderful athlete."

Spain's Juanito has been booked for tapping Sammy McIlroy on the head. You can't raise your hands back here in 1982 - everybody knows that.

Northern Ireland have the youngest World Cup player of all time.

When Manchester United teen Normal Whiteside played against Yugoslavia, he was only 17 years and 41 days old - almost six months older than previous record holder Pele.

"I beat Pele's record and other people pick up on that fact," he told BBC Sport.

"And that brought with it a lot of pressure, not just from the local media in Spain, but the world's media because of the record.

"I was out to do my job. It doesn't matter if you're 17, 19, 21 or 25, I went out to do my job, which was to play football."

Andrew, Armagh: Pat Jennings, Jimmy Nicholl, Mal Donaghy, Martin O'Neill, Sammy McIlroy, Billy Hamilton and Norman Whiteside; the names just roll off the tongue. We Northern Ireland fans really were blessed with a number of great players back in the 1980s. Those were the days!

Northern Ireland said their plan was to sit back for the first 20 minutes and gauge what Spain are all about. They're certainly doing that so far.

But you can't score without attacking. Will Billy Bingham's plan pay off?

Marc:, external Whiteside looks to be a great prospect. United should keep hold of him.

James:, external They're going in hard on young Whiteside. Let's hope they're sleeping on McIlroy and Armstrong!

Jimmy Nicholl has crunched Jose Sanchez down to the ground. Free-kick in a dangerous position for the Spaniards - but Roberto Lopez Ufarte's kick is beyond Jose Antonio Camacho.

Spain's number four in 1982, Miguel Angel Alonso, had a kid back in November called Xabi.

I wonder what he will go on to do - would be too much to hope for him to play in a World Cup surely, let alone win one?

It's getting a bit tasty on the pitch now, both sets of players are clashing at every opportunity. You can't see this game ending with 22 players on the pitch somehow.

Of course we appreciate you watching this game on BBC 1. We know you have the choice of three British channels so we're glad you're here with us.

In November, they're bringing out a Channel Four. Four channels?! Is the world going mad? How are you meant to decide which of them to watch?

Nigel:, external First time round I was in hospital getting my tonsils out. Going to enjoy watching this with a glass or two of wine.

Matthew:, external How did we ever manage without the clock and score in the top corner of the screen?

Spain have a corner - you feel it's only a matter of time before they score. Jesus Satrustegui heads just wide from the set-piece.

How long can Northern Ireland keep the Spaniards out?

Northern Ireland are just about holding on at the moment - Jesus Satrustegui heads just wide of the post.

Only the 85 minutes to go...

Big chance for Spain, Roberto Lopez Ufarte is through on goal but Pat Jennings - who made his international debut before team-mate Norman Whiteside was born - is out to smother the threat.

That was a hearts in mouths moment for Northern Ireland.
