Jesus Oriel, I said "back to the football" because everything was more or less covered with regards to fans behaviour. Would have thought that was fairly obvious.
Like it or not there were negative aspects to the occassion. Am I not allowed mention them?! Yet you want me to mention your "excellent achievement"!! in case you missed it I am a Drogs fan - I was hoping for a Linfield win

Pats had a goal disallowed too. How it's not at least 4-0 is a mystery. Destroying Cliftonville
Just got back from Richmond and ****ing hell we could have won that game 10 nil if we had a decent goalscorer on. Dave McMillan could have had 4 on his own if he had stopped skyin every attempt. Good long throws from anto murphy but so that's a threat at least, if we can sort out our finishing we,ll be a force this year.
Saying we'll be a force is probably an exaggeration to be fair. But i agree, if we'd had a striker of note, we'd have been comfortably through. I think Danny North will be up there amongst the league's top scorers come the end of the season, but he can't do it on his own. Hopefully, Ian Daly will be up to scratch!Quote:

I am glad to see that they have taken their chances well in the Setanta cup at least. We have a small squad and its been beset by injuries of late so I was pleasantly surprised that we managed to hold out.Quote:

to me it all Banter among rival fans .........................anyone offended by a chant may perhaps need to get a life
Would monkey noises directed at a team of black players also be a "bit of banter"?Quote:

Your analysis of sectarianism in football is facile.
Was the draw supposed to be last night?
To consider IRA or UDA chants as sectarian is infantile.Quote:

I dont really care tbh what was song its just brandishing anything remotely political that comes out of the North as sectarian is not only innacurate it is also disingenuous.
Chanting IRA is about as racist as South Africans chanting MK.
..... no problem just get the FAI to "investigate" it :rolleyes:Quote:

Killian brennan was (rather harshly in my opinion) sent off for an aerial challenge - ref said he led with his elbow - but after whinging at the distinctly average (and thats generous) ref, Mr T Connelly all game he was asking for trouble .
Not a great crowd (have not got official figure) but a decent game. No sectarian chants or incidents inside the ground and despite it being a rather chilly night neither set of fans saw the need to burn anything :o
Not all over but very much "advantage Portadown" at the half way point.
What was the Bohs team? There's been all sorts of rumours about who ye're going to sign, but what have ye actually ended up with?
Good man WW, you wanted a club from outside our own league to beat a team in ours. Lovely.Quote:

Liam Burnes and Rossiter and O'Connor (keeper) injured (along with long term injury Cronin) after that its all a bit hazy :D with few trialists still around (obviously not registered for SETANTA)
tbh I was hoping Linfield would beat ye too. Only because we were supposed to play them in the next round if they won and they would be a bigger draw crowd wise. We will be sick of the sight of the LOI teams by the end of the season too.Quote:

As Darby O'Gill would say woo whoo hullabaloo :DQuote:

Prove it WW, as usual you have nothing except an "I heard"...
Theres rivalry and then theres obsession but you take the biscuit. Not even funny anymore it's sad..:doh:
What can I do, yous fools keep replying! Even I'm bored at this stage. But if you wanna bury your head in the sand Dunny, fire away.
