Zayed had half chance, poor control though
Cliftonville stright up other end, martin had big chance, cracking save
2-0 City. George again.
Welcome home!
Dungannon will be whipping boys this year. In January they lost a lot of their main players to other teams in the Irish League and also to teams in England/Scotland.
Linfield destroyed them a couple of matches ago, luckily for them, we never had our shooting boots or it could have been embarrassing.
Poor defending for Zayed's goal.
Anyone else slightly diturbed by the 'hold onto your trousers' remark on the setanta sports match updates page?
poxy cliftonville:(
Cliftonville are missing 5 first team players as well and they have a wafer thin squad. So suprized they are competing. Although still a good bit to go.
2-1, Baker. More shocking defending, Cliftonville just couldn't get it clear.
Drogs have been very poor overall imo.
I suppose its to be expected given its only their third game though.

Zayed picked as MOTM.
Cliftonville try to play football, and are good enough on the ball but very very poor defensively
To be fair to them, they train twice a week whereas I'd say Drogheda train twice a day.
Cliftonville shot just cleared off the line:eek:. Late penalty decision turned down for Cliftonville.
All over, very unlucky not to get anything from this game.
Cliftonville robbed. Shouldve been a penalty
Caught the second half tonight.
Drogheda did well down the right, Shelley was outstanding. Two well-taken goals by Cliftonville. I didn't think it was a penalty but I didn't get to see a replay of it.
Guy Bates should've scored with his chance.
Cliftonville were not robbed. Drogheda were the better team on the night.
It should have been a penalty, which would have given them a draw.....so yes they were robbed.Quote:

Felix has a massive chip on his shoulder with the IL. He is a muppet of the highest orderQuote:

We had two strikers out and Chris Scannell who did play up front only got back from a business trip to America at 1.30 that morning! and a couple of players on the bench were just coming back from injury. the squad is a small one and our season started back in June with the Intertoto so the players are probably a bit knackered at this stage!Quote:
Who are they missing?
Also thought your man Doolan hosting it was an ejit!
Hopefully Cliftonville will be able to win some of their home games. I think it will be a big ask for them to win away to Cork or Drogheda.
Cliftonville has to beat Dungannon home and away. Hope Drogs and Cork cancell each other out.
But Cliftonville has to win ALL home matches and that is going to be a massive task.
Cliftonville played well i thought .They just werent physical enough , compared to the linfield teams we have played who hassle and fight for every ball .We should have scored a few more and they should have had a peno but overall we deserved the win .
I know it is only 1 match, but I think Cliftonville will be a team that could upset a few Southern teams. They are not that far behind IMO.
Just saw the second half this morning when it was repeated on Setanta and I have to say I was pretty impressed by Cliftonville.
They passed the ball much better than the likes of Dungannon and Ports and were unlucky not to get anything out of the game.
The fact that their main striker was just back from American really sums up the difference in the leagues and why a full-time club is almost certain to win the tournament.
It was also good to see the crowd they brought down (or up from Dublin in some cases) for the match! At least it shows that the club and fans are interested in the competition and hopefully they qualify for it again next season.
What was the attendence?Quote:

While their goal from the free was excellently taken it was never a free in the first place - I'd say those two issues therefore cancel each other out and two goals is all cliftonville were good for on the night.
Agree they weren't as physical as other northerners.
Drogs should have and could have had 2/3 more - lot of players looking rusty. If seasons were matched they wouldn't get close though
I think at home stevey cliftonville could maybe cause an upset, every time i have seen them this season they have been exciting to watch. Its good for the competition that they competed so well against the Drogs. Apart from the penalty decision I thought the referee had a great game, puts the LOI refs to shameQuote:
