Playing a reserve Linfield side and failed to put away a load of chances. Definite penalty, but I would say that. It was 50/50 and I was glad it was given.
Very poor weather, a Derry side lacking in conviction in midfield and a Linfield side lacking in idea's. Given the poor weather every tackle had that extra bit of bite, wet grass and flying tackles don't mix.
Longford would have learnt very little from the game as it was a bit part Linfield side, understandable given their upcoming fixtures.
If the way the game was played was any indication of the way Linfield do play I'd imagine the attacking Longford midfield will run them ragged.
Not many Linfield fan's at the game, as expected but they did give a good show. I can only compare them to the dire crowds that travel in the EL and they were on a par with Rovers and above all else.
