Gibraltar look to the future

The low point on Saturday evening?

Well, it said it a lot more about us than them. As goalkeeper Jordan Perez made his way to the touchline and the bench close to the hour, the Aviva Stadium rose as one in mock tribute to a man who had endured a mostly difficult time of it between the sticks.

The best fans in the world? Not on that damning piece of evidence. Gibraltar? They handled themselves with far more class, despite the concession of seven goals for the second time in just their second competitive full international.
