Was at the Match in windsor today decent enough crowd at it, ended up 1-1 but it was a frustrating game in many ways as we were all over them in the second half and on another day could have won it by a couple of goals! But we are still in the tie and the away leg is next Sunday.
Have to say I thought the standard of refereeing was poor and the Dinaburg players didn't exactly excel themselves with all the diving they were doing especially their keeper who was a complete joker who kept on going down injured any time a Cliftonville player got near him!
Oh and congratulations to Cork just seen there that they won there match 2-0.

Wish I could go but I am an impoverished student who can't afford to spend money on such extravagances! Think there will be about a bus load of Reds going over, they haven't been helped by the fact that the game has been moved from Riga to Daugavpils which is 200Km away!
Anyone know how many Cork fans made the trip to Iceland then?

The 400 seater train to Linfield was booked out but Irish Rail refused to put it on in the end, thats left us with no real time to make alternative plans and a trip from Cork to Belfast on a Monday by car is not ideal in any sense. Anyway there was at lest twice the 75 you stated.

Great result in Sweden for Cliftonville. If they keep improving they may get a move to the Eircom League first division.
Worrying times for Swedish soccer though. Their results in Europe have been very poor for the past few years. :ball:

Amazing result 1-0 win away from home against full time opposition thats in the middle of its football season! Well done to Eddie Patterson his assistant Tommy Breslin and all the players!!
Also fair play to the reds fans who made the trip over (120 of them according to the local paper) to watch the match I'm sure they are glad they made the extra effort to keep the Red flag flying high:D
Dinaburg are Latvian, no?
Yes Dinaburg are indeed Latvian

Great result for the Reds, lets hope the rest of the Northern Ireland clubs representing the Irish League in Europe get results like this... Apart from the Glens. :D
Brilliant result for the reds today,hope you can go one better next week.
Well done Cliftonville.

I don't blame Derry City for that though. I blame that on our local media.
Apart from a few idiots on different forums, I think Derry City supporters are amongst the best and I have no problems with them being successful.
Although those days look numbered now.

We have Belgian side KAA Gent in the next round! the first leg is in Belgium I think, they still haven't confirmed it yet!
They seem like a decent enough side with a fair bit of experience in Europe, didn't Bohs play them a few years back?

Agree 100%
Remember the advert they had shortly after the matches with Paris SG? Some Derry City supporter spoke of their great travelling support. What has been happening recently? has all their 4x4's towing their caravans broken down? :D
Whats with all the Derry City bashing like! they were given a tough time of it by the powers that be when they were in the IL which froced them to switch to the LoI! since then they have for the most part flourished in the EL and I say fair play to them! I could understand people complaining about the coverage they get if they were from Dublin or something but well Derry is the second biggest city in ulster is it not!
As for their European run last year didn't they knock out a team which was a two times winner of the UEFA cup?
Also I was at a Derry city match in Galway at the start of May and was sitting with the Derry City fans (I'd say there was about 200-250 of them) and I thought the atmosphere was great they kept on drumming away a singing right up until the end of the game, they are a credit to the club and the Eircom League!

Their constant digs at the Irish League, their constant putting down of Linfield (despite their inability to beat us) and their intolerance of other peoples views unfortunately seem pretty typical of the average Derry City supporter.

Listen, put your rattle back in your pram, win a few matches in Europe (hint the ones 40 years ago don't count anymore), get rid of the remaining sectarian morons and then no doubt you'll get exactly the same coverage as Derry.

And here's on of them people on forums I was talkin about in one of my last posts.
Meanwhile, whilst Derry City have ONE good season in Europe, they feel they have the need to lecture us about success.
Do you want me to talk about when Derry City where in the league or since they have left? Either way Linfield where dominent and Derry City where a yoyo team but with no real sustained worthwhile success. Really sums you up.

Dave, I find it amusing. Derry City won f*ck all in Irish League football, went to LOI and still wins f*ck all, with one or two out of charactor blips when they actually do win something worthwhile. But on the whole, they are just a run of the mill club, with run of the mill success.
They are comparable to Coleraine in so many ways.

You currently have a nationalist support playing against other nationalist supported teams therefore of course there is going to be very little sign of sectarianism. If you came back to the Irish League and faced Linfield, Glentoran, Portadown, Ballymena etc week in week out I'm sure a minority of your support would rear its ugly side from time to time...

I presume you meant 'your' rather than 'you'
Also our society isn't sick. Our society has just suffered thousands of lost lives and hundreds of thousands of hurt.
Something that the Republic had very little of in comparison. I find your attitude sick, by the way you tar everyone in Northern Ireland as sick.
Completely dispicable thing to say. Total ignorance.

Is it? lets put it this way i was never asked my religion in my life untill i went to Belfast a few weeks ago. And i've lived in quite a few countries.
The way people talk about each other, and treat each other, on both sides, is appalling. Obviously Not everyone, but a significant portion nonetheless to suggest society up there is sick. It certainly isnt healthy.
Anyway............Well done Cliftonnville ;)

Do you not think it is understandable considering the amount of killing and hurt caused in the last 35 years?
It will take quite a while before that will ever be put properly in the past.
Luckily for you, you never lived amongst the carnage, so who the hell are you to judge people who have

Don't we all. Unfortunately this is the intertoto cup though. Would have been better if it was the UEFA cup.
One thing I will say is, the LOI has had it easy against the IL, this year with Cliftonville in it, we will have at least 2 clubs who can play football enter.(the other one is obviously Linfield lol)

Don't think Cliftonville have the squad to really compete in the Setanta tbh. Hopefully I'm wrong but Linfield will be the only CIL team to really do anything.
While on the subject of the Setanta, IMO if we have these 8 players available and ready for the matches we'll win it, Mannus, Murphy, Lindsay, Downey, McAreavey, Kearney, Stewart and Thompson.

03/07/2007, 7:03 PM
Not sure about setanta I'd say we'll do a bit better than Portadown and Dungannon this season, but we need a few more signings to add to the two made so far if we are ever going to make a big impact.
Well this thread is starting to get a bit messy! so I'll do my best to steer it back on topic! the first leg has been confirmed as being away and will be this saturday with K.O at 18.30 BST.
Gent seem like a decent enough team they finished fourth in the Juliper league last season. I notice they have Dominic Foley playing for them up front I take it they signed him after they played Bohs then? what did the Bohs fans make of Gent anyway were you impressed?

Good man SR. Just when it looked like yet another thread was about to be ruined by the political rantings of the usual suspects...
I was impressed with Cliftonville doing the business away from home on Sunday. I think Gent will be too tough an opponent for them, but will be interesting to see how they do in each leg. Iwould hope they'd get at least a draw in one of the games.
