LOL I should have expected a response like that from certain Linfield fans! yes its true Cliftonville and all IL teams only ever bother to play when its against Linfield! The world clearly revolves around Linfield:rolleyes:

Anyways look at my post I am merely stating that Linfield can and do get beaten by teams such as Cliftonville and Distillery, it was a response to a claim that the Glens are the only ones who can give Linfield a game!

Your last point is of course correct. My point was though that I have heard Cliftonville supporters talking more about their 3-0 victory against us than talking about actually winning a trophy last season. Most seem to think the former was a greater achievement.

Elfsborg drew 0-0 with Debrecan last night and are now into the 3rd round to face Valencia. Oh what might have been if Dicko snatched that goal at the end in Boras.

Well I'd say if you asked most Cliftonville fans what they would have prefered to take from last season a 3-0 win over the blues or the county Antrim Shield they would have choisen winning the CAS! the ones making a big deal about it are Probably just trying to rub it in to the Linfield fans and all that banter!

I’m sure fans of the Eircom League would prefer more structure and that most matches are played on a Saturday at 3pm.

And I'm sure you're wrong there. Never heard anyone talk of 3pm Saturday Kick-offs in the league. The clubs don't seem to want them either, as they've tried pretty much any KO time apart from then.

Now with Setanta Ireland showing English games live at 3pm, it'd be even more suicidal to switch to such an unpopular KO time and day.

It's Friday night for the Eircom league.

Have only ever been to one EL match and that was Galway utd against Derry City back in May and it was on at 7.45 on a friday night, It seems to be a good time to have matches as there was a good crowd at it and there seemed to be plenty of families at the match, Although I'd say it is a bit of a pain for travelling fans if they have to travel long way to go to get home as they'll not get back until the small hours of saturday morning!
