The Oval's design makes atmosphere difficult, and considering the main stand is full of oul farts, the lack of noise shouldn't have come as a surprise.

After our UEFA Cup exit in Sweden last year, we stayed in the stadium and sang for another 45 minutes! They couldn't get rid of us! In fact, the opposing fans waited for us outside our side of the stadium to shake our hands. Then, as our multiple buses started to drive away from the ground, the Swedish fans were on their knees, bowing to us!! Honestly, one of the most emotional moments in my life.

Sounds like something worth seeing on TV ;)

Exactly, I'm taking it C.T.I.D was merely emphasising what Glens fans' already know, you'll not see that on UTV because - well, it's buckin' nice!! Not really relative to running the local game down is it?
Glentoran has a few Derry men in the side but we're all looking for the co-efficient to improve this season so hopefully the 'Soap Dodgers' win. No doubt if one miniscule pie acts the Sectarian Goat then Frank Mitchell will indulge is every aspect of the incident, should the game pass off peacefully and whatever the result we'll see little or no action on the telly.

Cynical - I live in 'The Black North'! ;)
