Long way to go yet but we have played all the hard ties at Coleraine Ballymena Portadown Seaview and solitude coming up so we have the easier run in but its a long way to go and we need to improve alot!
I'm glad that the wheels are starting to come off the Glens, I was getting concerned about facing them in the Setanta Cup.
Bugger. Thought the Glens were decent odds at 4/6...
Was hoping to log on and see the thread title, 'blues drop points versus reds .... again'.
Ah well:rolleyes:
Just as well you only "do (y)our talking on the pitch" (or whatever deranged ballbaggery your manager is vomiting up this week).Quote:

I think you will find most of our support was expecting a very difficult match and most have been full of praise for Cliftonville this season. I have said on a number of occasions that they are the best team we have played this season going on performances against us.Quote:

What I don't "comprehend", [can't swear here, can I?], is how a north-south cup is won in '62 and trumped as part of a 'clean sweep' and when the same cup is lost in '06, the same claim is made.Quote:

It would have been a miracle!!!! :D ;)Quote:

Quite simple really (even for a Glenman). The previous clean sweep was not simply a domestic one. The clean sweep last season was a domestic clean sweep ie we won every domestic trophy available to us. You Glenman really do have difficulties understanding basic English. Now over to you. If Glentoran had beaten Coleraine a few seasons ago in the Cup Final was that a clean sweep?Quote:

We were playing Portadown though so a draw is not that bad a result and the gap is nothing to worry about either, three points behind with a game in hand.Quote:

Was certainly very cold but you could always make use of the central heating in the viewing lounge.;)Quote:

They let me down on an Irish League accumulator, shower of baskets, but I'll try cash it in tomorrow because the wimin haven't got a feckin' clue :eek: :D :cool:
Seems I ain't the only one with a less-than-basic grasp of the English language, seeing as I asked you to explain why other boos referred to it as a 'clean sweep'.Quote:

If you are saying you never heard about these tee shirts then to be quite frank you are lying. I can honestly say that the first I heard of the ones you mentioned was on here when you posted that.Quote:

I think you'd be best sticking to whoring yourself around the various Eircom League forums eulogising your cheese'n'pickles nights before accusing others of being 'liars'.
So you are now saying that you heard about it two years ago on ILF yet earlier you said that you had never heard of it. :cool:Quote:

I wonder who that could be, eh?
:rolleyes:
No conflict there whatsoever as I have shown in the past. If the Glens or their supporters are being wronged I have no problem in saying so, again as I have done in the past.Quote:
