Who are you rooting for in Setanta?

**BohDiddley** · 27/01/2005, 5:54 PM

Just an idle thought, but I'm wondering who the, ahem, neutrals would like to see win the Setanta.
Seeing as it can't be us

I'm rootin' for the Corkies!

Longford, I'd like to see an EL club win it anyway.

**Slash/ED** · 27/01/2005, 6:02 PM

If Shels go out in the group stages I'll support whichever EL teams are left, it'd be good for the league to win the tournament. I get the feeling that that may not be a universal thing though, if, say, Cork go out and Shels make the final

**dcfcsteve** · 27/01/2005, 6:20 PM

Cork, then any other EL team, then the Glens.

Would weep bitterly if it was a Linfield v Portadown final, and would wish a plague on both their houses....

**Carlin** · 27/01/2005, 6:29 PM

Glentoran.

Don't want any of the Eircom League teams getting the winning prizemoney and moving further ahead of Bohs.

Thats the sad boh's way of looking at it... id be up for de corkies!

**eirebhoy** · 27/01/2005, 6:55 PM

Cork.

**iceman** · 27/01/2005, 8:19 PM

I think the difference between the two leagues will show.

I predict two EL teams in the final.

**B-Stand** · 27/01/2005, 9:10 PM

Our Northern Brethren, Linfield.

Nah, kinda ruins it for me- a north-south final would have a better atmosphere to it i'd say.

I'd like to see Cork win it.

**sligoman** · 27/01/2005, 11:41 PM

Here's how I think it will finish:

GROUP 1

1. Linfield
2. Longford Town
3. Glentoran

GROUP 2

1. Cork City
2. Portadown
3. Shelbourne

Same here, go on the langers

Portadown

I want an IL team to win but can't bring myself to support any of the Big Two, plus IF Portadown are on form they are capable of playing nice football.
They have the 2 toughest teams (on paper) in their group though.

At the minute, of the 3 IL teams, i really can't see Linfield winning it. The Glens might do well. Who knows

Depends how you define "support".

If you mean did they vote to recognise fact - that both common sense and the recommendation of the British Security Forces stated that there was no security reason for football not to return to the Brandywell - then yes.

"Support" is perhaps too strong a word though....

I'd still rather the Glens than them any day...

**Longfordian** · 28/01/2005, 12:08 AM

No prizes for guessing who I'm rooting for

..I'm happy enough with that draw, I reckon we have a better chance of beating Linfield and Glens than Shels and probably Cork who know all about us, we're going to be rightly going for this tournament, should be interesting.
