    Derry City v Linfield

    The latest news up here is that we are to play Linfield in two friendlies in the next month or so. Home and away.

    I would be excited at the prospect of seeing a competitive match between the two sides to witness the differences in standard or even prove the superior nature of the Eircom league. What I seen when we played Cliftonville, Omagh Town and Limavady United was our Under 21s stuffing their full squads 3 and 4 - 0.

    Being a resident of the North though im a realist and there is serious security implications for both games, ive no idea what way this will be handled.

    Great to see this. A sort of dress rehearsal for the Setanta cup?

    Fair play to Roddy for inviting them, maybe another small step towards an All-Ireland league?

    Wouldn't agree. It's a non-competitive, mid-week fixture. If there were serious concerns, Linfield wouldn't have been invited to play us.

    Inside the ground I dont see any problems either, but its the travel to and from by both clubs.
