Of course you're well capable of doing it but you don't. And eveyr other fan in the country thinks likewise. Its not about whether you deserved to beat pats, its about whether you're going to excite nuetrals. And the answer is no
read the post again .We DID do it , against " you " to put you out of the setanta cup , REMEMBER ? And since when has it been about exciting nuetrals .Cork excited loads of nuetrals with some nice football and lost to linfield .Results business .Play crap and still win , we did it in last years final and will be happy if we do it again :D

The ONLY point I made was that you're an ugly team to watch. I didn't say anything how effective you are.

Given the political developments of this week, I hope the non-Setanta media will highlight how easily Drogs and Linfield fans will be mingling for this game.
Setanta did a nice piece on it for one of their group games, but we need the mainstream media to pick-up on such good news stories for the domestic game.

Is it true that if its a draw after 90 minutes that St Pats will get the trophy? :D
Probably :D :D

I've been dissappointed that there have been few if any articles in the broadsheets on the success of the Setanta in fostering good relations between clubs eg Mid Shankhill supporters club's open invititaions to visiting fans.
You can guarantee if there was ever trouble at a game you'd be able to wallpaper a warehouse with the coverage.
Drogheda are the Chelsea of the EL, plenty of money, play boring football but are effective
All this talk about attractive football is rubbish, football is about winning fairly.

Yes football is about winning fairly, but whatever happened to the phrase the "Beutiful Game". Just look at Arsenal, they won the Premiership with great football and went a whole season unbeaten through it. Teams can play football and win with the right players, and Drogheda IMO have the right players

I'll make a deal with all of you. Your teams all go out and play beautiful, eye catching football (which none of you do btw).
We'll keep winning things.
Fair enough?

I'd rather have both. Also Drogs havnt won as much as they should have with the money they have spent

And it wasn't 2 in 10 years. It was 2 in 40 years:D
Mind you Pats must have played astonshingly wonderful football tonight. Fair play to them. Still didn't win though

Molesting them?
Or have Linfield been interfering with the game a bit?

This is so one sided its untrue.
Linfield dont deserve to win.....if they do

It is risibly familiar. :D :D Drogs just had a penno saved (McAreavey gave it away), and then another class save off Byrne.
I predict the 86th minute for Linfield's nicking goal.

Tony Grant scores. On as a sub.
Very much a day for the bald so far in Windsor Park, from the shiny babybum pates of both managers to the receding buzzcuts of both scorers.

Drogheda are a determined side,fair play to them,but they still have problems in goal scoring department.They could have easily whacked in 3 and finished off a poor Linfield side (even by their standards) instead they risked all their hard work by going to penalties.

Just home, and don't mind saying I am gutted.. completely gutted. Fair play to the Drogs lads, the competition on the pitch was nearly as good as the competition on the stands ;).. you are a credit to your club, and provided you let us win, are welcome back anytime.
All the best lads, and see you next year...
*******s :(

Our tickets are selling very well and only a handful left i believe.
How did you work this out? Ground looked only half full.
Edit - also, what was Chris Coleman doing giving half-time analysis? Very random! Unless they had Sanchez lined up, but he became suddenly otherwise engaged!

The 2 stands allocated to Linfield where very full.

That was embarrassingly class when they basically asked him on air to take the IFA manager's job. He said it should be an IFA man.

But the ground was half empty. Why were the clubs allocated only half the ground's capacity? Especially if, according to the original post, tickets were close to selling out a couple of days in advance?

There is that one stand that's been deemed a fire hazard. That'd explain some of it. Maybe it was just Linfield's allocation that was close to selling out. The stand with the Drogs fans was far from full.

Didn't look half empty to me. The stand the Drogheda fans were in was about 35% full, the two Linfield stands were close to full and the fourth stand is tiny and never used as far as I know. I don't know the various capacities but I'd be surprised if the ground was much less than 70% full.

The Indo's report said the attendance was 7700. Does that sound about right? How many did Drogs bring with them?
Well done to the drogs, a fantastic achievement considering their huge injury problems not to mention playing in linfields back yard. I thought they were brilliant in the first half and overall deserved to win. Also fair play to the drogs support, i`ve been critical in the past of the towns luke warm support but last night it looked great, a real family day out and must have been 1,500 up.
So much as it pains me to say (again) congratulations to a great performance and to a very good side.
Also David Jeffrey came across very well on tv, vert dignified in defeat.
Ps david/steve bruce/other lfc fans - could he not have got an up to date training top - the one he wore had 'ifa cup final 2007 v dungannon' on the front !
