Crusaders, Derry, Sham & Sligo Rovers all thru.
Anyone know if the draw for the semis is made already?
Crusaders Vs. Rovers
Shams Vs. Derry
Doire should be a good tie. Not sure how good Crusaders are since beating Bohs with a clean sheet seems to just be the done thing these days.
Seems the Linfield fans were fairly charming in Brandywell tonight...some interesting chants by reports.
It was difficult to make out the chants on the TV, but the chorus of God Save the Queen didn't go down well when they were 1-0 up. Molloy shut them up fairly quickly, mind.
Supposedly a load of Hunger Strike chants and such. Friend was up at the game and said basically they were a disgrace. Riot police outside the ground afterwards too.
Ugh, daytrippers.
I believe Bobby Sands ability to eat a pastie supper was questioned!
Pretty sure I heard a refrain of the "Billy Boys" too. "Up to Our Necks in Fenian Blood" etc. Nice! Decent game though. I enjoyed it at any rate. Linfield bossed the first half, Derry the second. Great first goal by Derry, superb cross by Madden and great header from Molloy. Won't see too many better than that this season I wouldn't think. Actually all the goals were good moves and very well taken. Was in two minds to be honest. Didn't really want Linfield to win, and yet, the competition badly needs the northern teams (and probably particularly Linfield, as they have the best support) to be getting to the Final on a regular basis. If it continues to be dominated by LOI clubs then the northern teams could lose interest.
I think it must be all a misunderstanding. The nice chaps from Linfield were just offering to take their friend Bobby out to dinner, and reminiscing about a day out when they were "up to their necks in fields of mud".
Was all good clean fun!
Anything official on the dates of the semi-finals?
Hearing Monday 16th and Monday 23rd. Need to know for a flight.
Unfortunately this seems to be the norm these days.
If people get wound up by chats from the opposition they are bigger idiots then the idiots singing the songs in the first place. Why were Linfield fans not allowed into the ground until the game was about to kick off? That is going to **** off any football fan.*
They're correct yes.Quote:

For what was a football match, very few of the chants I heard at the game were even remotely football related. Feckin' wasters.
Is that your friendship request that is pending there Horton ;-)
Seem's like he is a realy nice guy ok :/
A bit more on that:Quote:

... Indeed, Mr. Middleton; sectarian individuals will suffer lapses of judgment from time to time, especially when on the drink.
If such opinions were significant or widespread rather than "anecdotal", it would be a cause for concern. I don't think they are though. At least, I'd hope they aren't. The "lashback" wasn't much better than Middleton's original comment either. I encountered a few idiots on my Bakebook feed condoning retaliatory violence and intimidation of Middleton... :rolleyes:
It'll be interesting to see if the PSNI do anything over this. They've brought others before the courts for "incitement to hatred" and considering the backlash he's caused by that one comment, shouldn't he face charges? Anyway this isn't Current Affairs. Roll on Shams!
Any of the semis on the telebox tomorrow?
I noticed that the Shamrock/Derry game is on Premier Sports so it must be on Setanta?
Quarter past 7, Setanta Ireland.Quote:
