is it not in April

Linfield, Glentoran & Portadown
hmmm. a friendly bunch i hope! i have to say though my deeply ingrained stereotype dictates a rabble of flute blowing union jack waving bowler hat types who wont welcome us to readily!
Don't worry, they'll be cowed by the 20,000 fans you bring with you
I dunno ... cant see us bring that many this time !!
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Actually from what i've seen on www.irishleagueforums.net many supporters of these clubs are really looking forward to the competition.hmmm. a friendly bunch i hope! i have to say though my deeply ingrained stereotype dictates a rabble of flute blowing union jack waving bowler hat types who wont welcome us to readily!
No doubt a few hard cases will accompany them on their travels but in general i'd say they'll just come down to watch a game of ball and have a few pints.
A bit like us City fans really!
I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
TBH, I can't see any trouble at these games. The only possible flashpoint clubs down here would have been Bohs or Rovers, (and even then the possibilty would be small) but they are obviously not in it.
Even if they were, however, I can't see any trouble, as I reckon virtually all supporters, North and South, want this to work.
Like capital letters and full stops?
Where? I've taken a look but couldnt find any mention of it.
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
away to the like of linfiield dont appeal to me i have a friend fom that neck of the woods and he reckons stay the feck away from it as most of the linfield are pretty much on the lunatic fringe that would make rovers lunatics look like ballerina's they are made up of the hardcore violence leaning unionists who would revel in the chance of knockin the hell of out of a couple of southern guys
save the sheep shaggers bring back beheadings for waherford
Can't imagine Rovers qualifying any time in the near future.
I can't see chance of trouble unless people go looking for it - same as any away trip really. I have no worries travelling up & should be great events although doesn't mean i'm likely to park outside Windsor Park
I wouldnt take what your mate says as gospel!
Although I hate the Blues with a vengance, what your mate says is just down to bitteness it seems.
Yes Linfield are a predominantly Protestant supported club, and with their colours being red, white and blue they do attract a lot of 'Billy Boys' in their support. But they are making moves to stamp out the sectarian singing in the stands etc.
As for the violence, you wont get much of that. Yes it wouldnt be the smartest thing wandering around the areas of all 3 stadiums Tricolours etc, as all three grounds are in loyalist housing estates, but stay in the city center on the day of the game and you'll be fine. Measures will be put into place to get yoiur fans in and out of the grounds. Cant remember the last time there was serious trouble between fans at an IL match, but as someone said, if you go outta your way to pick a fight, you'll get it!
Just cos Rovers are not involved on the pitch doesn't mean their support won't be knocking around at the games,lets hope they steer well clear
All all-island league is probably necessary for the good of the game sooner or later so its important this Cup goes well.
I think some Rovers fans travel to Belfast for Cliftonville - Linfield games. Not sure why?

the only tri colour ill be bringing is the cork city one!
