Sham Rover 3 v 1 Linfields
Crusaders 0 v 1 Cork City (Agg 0-2)
Crusaders 0 v 2 Cork City now....
Rovers currently equaling their biggest ever win in this competition.
Linfield currently equaling their biggest ever defeat in this competition.
Only 2 men have ever scored for a LOI and an IL team in this competition.
is this a strong Linfield line up or did they rest players?
Tommy Stewart only man to have played for an IFA and FAI club...
...in this competition.
Woeful penalty and miss from Linfield there. The rebounding player was also far inside the box by the time it had been kicked, would have been interesting to see if the ref would've allowed it.
Bad peno miss, even worse follow up...
Crusaders get 1 back..
Crusader 1 v 3 Cork City FT (Agg 1 - 4). Cork into the next round.
my god the irish league is getting woeful year after year.
Is there some controversy about this? Extratime gives Cork a Magowan OG and an Abbott goal, both in time added (I think, the times are a mess) - was one of them ruled out?Quote:
Crusader 1 v 3 Cork City
oooooooohhhhhh Sligo Rovers were purring for 45 minutes this evening against an understrength Glentoran side. (Second half was forgettable, after the game had finished as a competition).
Anthony Elding looks the biz, plays quick ball, has a bit of pace and has proven he's lethal from 3 yards.
He and Lynch linked up very for the first half. Great to see McMillan get on the score sheet too.

Peno miss and follow up
Results tonight would suggest there is certainly a widening gap in the standard between the two leagues.
I was at both of our games v Linfield in 2011 and I couldn't get over how poor they were. We had a good side that year, but even though we battered them 6-4 on agg we still only finished 7th that season I think they went on to win the double? they def won the league.
According to the ILS forum our 4-1 aggregate win against Crusaders was lucky and in another tie they would have won.
