Simply asking you to provide proof WW, whats wrong with that?

Christs sake, I'd be amazed if there were not some sectarian chants (by a minority) on both sides given the teams and history around this fixture. So what ? Not justifying it in any way but harping on about it only encourages the morons responsible.

As regards the "somebody burned something" argument, :rolleyes:

[sligoman]

If Bohs knock Portadown out, we're playing Cliftonville.

[Ezeikial]

Setanta Cup Quarter Finals:

Glentoran v Dundalk
Lisburn Distillery v Shamrock Rovers
Sligo Rovers v Portadown* or Cliftonville
Bohemians* or Cliftonville v Crusaders


* If Portadown beat Bohemians its Sligo against Portadown, if Bohemians win its Sligo against Cliftonville.


Last 4 predictions
Dundalk
Shamrock Rovers
Sligo
Crusaders

Would monkey noises directed at a team of black players also be a "bit of banter"?

Should black players and fans just "get a life" too.

Your analysis of sectarianism in football is facile.

..........................I was refer to the banter among rival groups of fans , not players
why would 1 set of fans make monkey noises towards another set of fans ,

[Red Army]

I was looking at at site Irishultrasmovement.blogspot.com seems to be a fair bit of flares used so far by supporters I take the fines have been reduced?

Im not sure what the fines are in relation to the Setanta Cup but i know that Dundalk were warned about there future use after the Linfield V Dundalk match at Windsor Park.
Warning issued,but do Dundalk fans take heed ??

I'm sure that's just the usual scaretactic trying to put lads off using them most likely. I reckon there will be a big increase in use of them this season in general.
Anyways what sort of teams are the Nordies putting out this year or are they taking it serious?

Has that message NOT gone out yet :D

[Red Army]

Yeah I heard Dundalk supporters had a banner at the start of the game welcoming Linfield to oriel park too

More than a scare tactic with a couple of clubs already on the first rung of the fines ladder.

[Red Army]

[marinobohs]

Yea, i heard from a work colleague that his cousins friends neighbours wifes, brother was at the match (first half anyway) and that the banner may or may not have been burned ;)

Are Setanta planning to show any of the games?

Are Setanta planning to show any of the games?

only at the quarter final stage but its strange from them as they are not showing this game tonight as it is the quarter finals now!

[Dunny]

Seem there will be updates on extratime, waiting to hear if it's on DundakFM

[White Horse]

Dundalk FM will be covering it. I hope the audio is better than the Linfield game.

[bullit]

DUNDALK team v Glentoran: Cherrie; Madden, Hector, Guthrie, Murphy; Kearns, Bennett, Maher, Ward; Quigley, Byrne.

[Dunny]

Commentary: http://delicast.com/radio/Ireland/Dundalk_FM

[sligoman]

Portadown 1 up.

[eL Bettor]

Extratime.ie match tracker no updates yet

1-0 Portadown

[bullit]

0-0 @ H/T Glentoran V Dundalk

[sligoman]

2-0 Portadown, looks like we'll be playing them so.

[bullit]

Dundalk take the lead

[White Horse]

Quigley wonder-goal.

[bullit]

F/T @ the Oval and its advantage Dundalk 0-1 :D:party::cool: GET IN !!!

[oriel]

I didnt really know what to expect tonight, so thats obviously an excellent score to take to the home leg, but this is far from over.

[Dillonman]

Great result for the town. Heard it was backs to the wall for most of the match but a win is a win.

[Ezeikial]

A wonder strike from Mark Quigley about 10 minutes from time. It was a goal worthy of winning any game.

Truth is that Dundalk were forunate to go in level at the break, with Glentoran hitting the woodwork and Cherrie pulling off a trademark one on one save. The second half was a different story with Dundalk dominating. On another night Jayo could have had a hatrick. Quigley's winner was a gem of a volley from the edge of the area after a corner was partially cleared.

About 200 noisey Dundalk supporters travelled tonight. No sign of any Drogs intruders trying to set flags or jerseys on fire tonight. Although I did see one really badly behaved supporter light up a ciggie in a no smoking area

[legendz]

Good stuff Dundalk! Taking to this competition well.

[bullit]

Shams 2 up - Karl Sheppard and Ciaran Kilduff

[bullit]

Shams romping it @ Ballyskeagh, 3 nil now (Dean Kelly)

[sligoman]

Results:
Lisburn 0-3 Shams
Cliftonville 4-2 Crusaders.

[HulaHoop]

9 changes for Rovers from the side that started in Sligo on Saturday. Amazed at the strength of our squad.

[EivissaPaul]

Good to see Dundalk and Rovers doing well in this competition. Shocked at how badly it is covered despite Setanta sponsoring it.

[holidaysong]

Slightly off topic, but I can't get up to Dundalk for our game on Monday night against Glentoran. Anyone know any decent League of Ireland friendly pub with Setanta in Dublin I could watch it in? Does McDowell's out in Inchicore have Setanta and open on a Monday night? I work in Bluebell so that'd be pretty handy for me if it did.

[Dunny]

Pity ye cant make it HS. I will keep an eye out for a link for you if thats any use.

[holidaysong]

Cheers Dunny, but my internet is useless. Trying to even listen to Dundalk FM online for the away games in the Setanta was hopeless. Pub and pints is the only solution! :D

[Dunny]

Pub and pints is the only solution! :D

Best solution there is.! :D Hopefully ye get sorted.

Have you considered flying from Sligo??

McDowells has Setanta and is open on Mondays

Yeah they have missed some cracking games and goals so far.

Setanta Cup schedule :

QUARTER FINALS FIXTURES
1ST LEG MATCHES

Monday, 28th March 2011
Sligo Rovers v Portadown.

2ND LEG MATCHES

Monday, 21st March 2011
Dundalk v Glentoran; Crusaders v Cliftonville.

Tuesday, 22nd March 2011
Shamrock Rovers v Lisburn Distillery.

Monday, 4th April 2011
Portadown v Sligo Rovers.

(All matches will kick off at 7.45 pm unless they are broadcasted live on Setanta Sports which may require a slight adjustment for TV schedules)

SEMI-FINALS FIXTURES

SEMI-FINAL 1
1ST Leg: Monday, 4th April 2011 (not involving Sligo Rovers/Portadown)
2nd Leg: Monday, 18th April 2011

SEMI-FINAL 2
1st Leg: Monday, 11th April 2011
2nd Leg: Tuesday, 19th April 2011

FINAL: Saturday, 14th May 2011
It's a strange situation where the first semi-final is due to take place at the same time as the last quarter-final tie on April 4th.

This appears to indicate that they have abandoned their previously stated intention to maximise the north v south clashes (as the winner of Sligo / Portadown Q-F will automatically play in the second semi).

No word yet on when the semi-final draw will take place, although the winners on this weeks 2nd leg matches should not be kept in the dark with the first semi scheduled for only a fortnight later.

I hope that all of this uncertainty is still relevant for Dundalk at 9.35pm on Monday night!

From Ezeikial “ It's a strange situation where the first semi-final is due to take place at the same time as the last quarter-final tie on April 4th.

This appears to indicate that they have abandoned their previously stated intention to maximise the north v south clashes (as the winner of Sligo / Portadown Q-F will automatically play in the second semi).”

Comment: By March 22nd the three semi-finalists, other than the winners of the Sligo/Portadown tie, will be known. The 3 will consist of one of the following possible combinations (i) 3 IL clubs (ii); 2 IL and 1 LOI; (iii) 1 IL and 2 LOI.

From this combination it is possible to arrange a first semi-final for April 4th that excludes the Sligo/Portadown winner AND still retains the option to maximise the North/South ties.

Fair comment and good observation. For this to happen the draw could not be finalised until after the 3rd Quarter Final match on Tues 22 March

That scenario would mean

Semi 1 - 4 April & 18 April
Crusaders or Cliftonville V Unknown

Semi 2 - 11 April & 19 April
Sligo Rovers or Portadown V Unknown

The two unknowns to be filled by the winners of Dundalk/Glentoran and Shamrock Rovers / Lisburn Distillery.
