City v Portadown

Two things about this game.

1. We don't necessarily have to win by 2 goals. A 3-2 win will put us level with Shels on goal difference and goals scored. I think then its down to most yellow/red cards. A 4-3 win will put us through on goals scored.

2. IFA Cup final Portadown v Larne is next Saturday but the replay date is Saturday 14th. 2 days before we play Portadown.
So fingers crossed for a Portadown win after a replay, major celebrations and many sore heads on Monday night v Cork

Shels are already better off than us on the fair play issue, by one yellow card i think, so a 3-2 wouldn't be enough. Imagine that, Shels getting thru on fair play- it would be enough to make you puke

There must be some mistake there then Eanna.. Theres no way Shels could have less yellows and reds is there... being so dirty and all that!!

isn't it obvious- all the refs were paid to book our players in previous games, knowing this could happen

Hopefully some Portadown fans can come on to this forum and talk about this game.
But they will be probably be scared off by the obssessed, paranoid $hels "fans" (it's probably their ONE fan really!). It's SO obvious that $hels are SH*TTING IT...

So Ports lads, looking forward to you coming down, and I reckon we will beat you by more than one goal.
I don't think Ports will take this game too lightly, IFA cup final or not.
