    You probably do, I was just going by the Cliftonville thread on your last forum and the few Rovers fans I no seem to have a hard on for them for (it seems) no reason

    Yea your right there is a couple of dozen that have a hard on for Cliftonville, and in fairness they do go to their matches regularly, and vice-versa.

    99% of Rovers fans don't give a **** about Cliftonville though, to them Cliftonville are just another team in another obscure league.

    Personally, I don't like the Cliftonville fans that I've seen come down. Not that I've spoke with them, just judging on the way they go on at matches, and I'm sure the Cliftonville fans that don't like the Rovers fans that go up, would dislike them for the same reasons.

    Going forward, I think the final for the Setanta Cup should be played in the Aviva or Windsor. The last LoI vs IL final was played in Cork. The next final of LoI vs IL should be played in Windsor Park, then the Aviva for the next LoI vs IL final in the future after that. If two clubs from the same league make the final, play the final in their national stadium.

    That's good. If it's two League of Ireland clubs, where will the final be played?

    I hope a move is made to play the finals in a national stadium every season. It'll be a good move for the competition.

    Presumably you've never been to Windsor so.

    Tallaght and Turners Cross may be smaller, but far better grounds

    Nah they just come into it the final, If they win 4-0 they play Linfield in the quarter final of the next setanta cup but if they only win 3-0 they play Sligo in the semi

    .... only after a three way playoff with France as 1998 world cup winners, of course, and Qatar

    On the basis that NI play all their home games at Windsor you'd have to call it their national stadium. whether it is a decent ground is another matter, of course.

    Which is my argument. Playing it in Windsor isn't necessarily a good move for the final

    + 1. One decent stand does not a stadium make (as I know from Dayler). Was at Windsor last year when Bohs played there and the "away" stand was appalling. Fortunately the crowd was so miniscule that the "facilities" were not over tested but nowhere near as good as Turners cross or SDCC Stadium in my opinion.

    Which was the "away" stand? The Kop End, or the North Stand (i.e. Kop to your right)?
    And what was it caused you to describe it as "appalling"?
    (Genuine questions, btw)
