Your own experience?
So you met the majority of the 1200 Glentoran fans down and asked them their intentions and you were in the "smashed up" pub at the time of the incident were you?

The vast majority of Glens fans were great and both sets of fans mingled together before and afetr the game without issue in the Evergreen bar. The match brough a few idiots out of both Cork and East Belfast who focused on each other (and not the match) during the game, but to suggest that the majority came down for trouble is a load of nonsense.

Out of curiosity will Glentoran face some level of punishment for the objects thrown at Liam Kearney and the Cockney Weasel? How would such a process even be conducted, by the IFA or by both national bodies?

Perfectly put..........BTW, the atmosphere generated by the Glenmen, was the best ever , bar none at the X.I hope the Glens take the title up North, a trip to the Oval would be class.

Did i say that? But I was there roughly 5-10 mins after it and there was a woman scared as she lived by spar and said they ****ed on her door and shouted at her and her child.Don't think there would have been enough time to meet 1200 people and shake there hands.I am pretty sure everyone knew that group were travelling with them.

3) Why weren't you offered it in 2005, in preference to the south's preferred venue of Tolka ??

1) It was announced...given ye're performance in it Im not surprised you werent paying attention, City and Drogs fans knew

2) It makes a lie of your 'its been the 'rule' for 3 years comment

3) Because teh shed was in the process of being torn down and the place was in no condition to host it.

id argue the same this year given the St Annes was closed but it was presumed it'd be open.
