    The vid of the NI fans singing their party tunes after the match was top story on the UTV evening news bulletin at 6 there.

    Heres a link from the website...

    PS just noticed that the fans were singing 'hes deed' which is scottish parlance for 'hes dead' I presume! quite ironic given that Scotland were the opposing team!

    I wonder who emailed UTV
    I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
    And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
    I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
    Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

    A lot of Linfield fans (I presume) are leaving comments under the article about how bad Dundalk fans were last night one claiming they were burning a Union Jack? Any truth in that one?

    No truth to that whatsoever.

    Well to be fair to their numpties, many of them are direct descendants of lowland Scots.
    Doubtless our Larne correspondent will remind us they're only 13 miles away??

    And correct with that presumption, though never heard such a pronunciation, except maybe from the 'Bible Belt' in N.Antrim around Ballymena....

    Dundalk fans were great too - cept the small minority in their number who spouted sectarian bile relating the the IRA.
    The majority of us were embarrassed by the sectarian chanting and the flare issues too, as they show disregard to both the other Dundalk fans and to the club itself who in normal circumstances would stand to be fined. (not sure if thats the case in the Setanta as ive heard contrary rumours)
    All told though it was a memorable night, kudos to the PSNI too who did their job admirably. Really looking forward to the return in Oriel.

    No truth whatsoever in this, Stewards of both clubs were in the Dundalk section, and Tricolours were even taken off Dundalk fans by our own stewards.

    I certainly didn't see any Union Flags being burnt.

    Dundalk fans had a few flares which they lit, and some idiot threw one onto the playing surface, nearly hitting a ballboy. In fairness to the idiot who threw it, I don't think he was aiming at the ballboy.
    The Englishmen came over in the year 2005
    But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
    Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild
    And this is what we sang...

    Total idiot, but there's absolutely no way he intended to throw it at the ball boy. I was standing near the front of the upper tier and you could just about see the ball boy dive out of the way below us, there's no way the guy who threw it from the back of the stand could have seen the ball boy. That's no excuse though, it was a stupid thing to do.

    There's a Setanta Cup thread in the Premier Division/First Division section of the site if you want to continue this discussion there

    Sure, the same applies to any other paramilitaries elected there.
