Just out of interest now that I am living "on the other side of the border", I was wondering which IL team(s) are most appreciated by the fans in the Republic... Don't tell "none" as I know there's a fair bit of EL fans that also show a certain interest in the IL.
@ Moderators: can you please make a poll ? The names/options are at http://www.irishfa.com/index/article...e=Club+Guides#
@ everyone: remember it's a FOOTBALL forum, and this is a FOOTBALL topic ;)
Glentoran - the peoples club!
I only have a very passing interest. In a race between Glens and Linfield I prefer Glentoran. I am intrigued to see how Institute do this year.
As a graduate of History it would have to be Crusaders for me :D !
Its gotta either be Glens or Cliftonville, whichever hate Linfield the most gets my vote.
Larne because of Jimmy McGeough
I would look out for Newry Town erm...City :rolleyes: results out of interest due to its proximity. Dundalk vs. Newry would be great in an All-Ireland league... Might be a bit of a Celtic jersey brigade love in though...
Glentoran for em, even got a jersey (thanks LUX ;) :p )
Yes although Derry City V Institute might also be a good derby :DQuote:

Hate the IL especially Linfield, Cliftonville and Coleraine so can;t even think who would be my favourite
I have always paid particular attention to Glentoran's results.

hmm. That is a tricky one, but I think the Glens might just win that one. :DQuote:

Has to be Linfield for me,even though i dont have the foggiest about the Smirnoff League,if its still called that
I suppose it would have to be Ports .... just cause we played them recently !!
I have never really supported a team in IL but always try and gert a look at whats going on up there.

They had a few billboards at selected grounds but worked out they could sponsor the league, get billboars at all the grounds, logo on shirts, in papers and programmes for Less than what they where already paying :(
Always liked Glentoran, don't know why though :confused:
Even after what happened the last time we played them in the showgrounds.Quote:
