Obviously Glentoran FC alone on a thread title may have caused a stir almost some posters. I included fans who may follow other teams.
I think it's great. But I'm only thinking of those punters with a Glentoran FC win. Or 0-1 90 min result.

I had a big Draw No Bet punt on Drogheda at half time (13/8 or something), but covered it with a 1-0 Glentoran FT bet at 5/1, so only lost a minuscule amount.
Thought Drogs, though they were and are clearly a better team, showed a lack of respect by effectively fielding only three defensive outfield players (Gartland, Maher and Keegan) from the start.
Good luck to them. Probably important for the competition too
I had 10 grand on Drogheda, so I can't say I'm hugely please about this outcome.
Disappointed for Drogheda. they really needed the boost (and the money). They have done our league proud this season and it will end in a big disappointment.
Only watched on tv but thought the Glens did very well, rode their luck at times but hats off to them.
Funny how they celebrated after years of saying how little this competition means to them. You'd would have thought they won the Champions League
Wow, thats bitter....Quote:

Well done to the Glens epecially hold on to win with only 9 men left! Hope they can go on and win it for the IL! and if they do it will put the blues supporters into a fit of rage and you can't beat that for entertainment value:)
I always got the impression that Glens fans valued the setanta cup more than the club and were angry that the club/management did not take the competition more seriously by fielding a stronger team.Quote:

No it's not, it is pretty accurate. The club and it's supporters played down this competition because they where flopping big time.Quote:

I'll take it you'll be rooting for Cork then:rolleyes: Its a final and should be played at a neutral venue! As for the distance well I think that most Linfield fans just like any other set of supporters would not be happy about having to travel such a distance for such a game, after all bluemen often complain about the unnecessary distance they are made to travel for games at Solitude due to the security arrangements.Quote:

If everyone had the same arrangement as us, a lot of people who don't go would go e.g. myself.
If Linfield could get to the match the same way as Glentoran then we would have no problems going and we would also pack out the stand as well.
UM, yeah, of course.Quote:

Wonder why Glentoran get treated differently? Not really fair on innocent Linfield.Quote:

Linfield, can not.
Smells like bullsh*t to me mate.Quote:

There'll be more than 500.Quote:

Also judging by the songs your fans sing, they are simply Rangers fans looking for something to do to pass the time, you I could probably throw in what happened in Manchester last year as well.
Behave yourselves and support your own team, take a leaf out of Glentoran's book.
We managed 25, seven and one respectively to Silkeborg, Vilnius and Tbilisi, I believe. Might have been a few more to Geneva :)Quote:

Oh dear moobsie, put yer tits away. It doesn’t look promising for you.
I'm not outting a dirty spin on anything I think the security arrangements are over the top myself but well they aren't really anything to do with Cliftonville, the point I was making is that Linfield fans are getting screwed over by the powers that be on that one in the same way that Glens fans have been screwed over by the setanta cup organisers and I think a lot less of them will go to the final because of this! All in all though it could be worse maybe they could be made to play all their home games against Linfield at windsor for years:rolleyes:Quote:

Um, your picture was taken from the fence sectioning your support off moobs. :rolleyes:Quote:

i can understand why yee would like a nuetral venue but there will be a bigger crowd at a final in cork than there would be at a final in dublin and gate receipts are split 40% each and 20% to the settanta cup committee.
also dublin is closer to belfast than cork.
we have travelled the most in this competition by a lot.
turners cross is also a better ground than any in dublin at this stage too.
28 years. Welcome to our world. :rolleyes:Quote:

Also I don't ever recall the Blues fans having a grenade thrown in at them while at Solitude!Quote:

Down and Omagh when your supporters tried to attack Roy McCreadie, spitting and trying to tear down the fense.
