Some of us still go to games with him, at least you're spared that with your red and black allegiance. He's politics are very popular at Rovers, as you can imagine.

[QUOTE]I was there in the main stand. Great game of football. Rovers poured forward for the last half hour and seemed certain to score but Linfield held on. Neville Steedman had a great game but he was kicked all over Milltown. There were highlights of the first leg on tv as well. Poor game and typical scoreless draw.
No way was there anything like 1,000 away fans at most 200 and much less imo.
I don't remember the atmosphere being that tense however great atmosphere. Security was tight over the trouble at Bohs v Rangers 2 weeks earlier. A few Rovers fans stayed behind to stone the Linfield fans afterwards but the guards quickly dispersed them. We nearly got caught up in it as we were slow leaving the ground.
Football wise it was a very disappointing day for our league and that was a great Rovers side and I certainly expected them to win.
Linfield went on to meet Panathinaikos, lost 2-1 to an 88th minute goal in Greece, raced into a 3-0 lead in Belfast but lost their heads and drew 3-3. I thought that Rovers team could have done far better in Europe with a bit of luck. They murdered ****** 2 years later and lost 1-0 to a late goal. Liam O'Brien was different class to anyone on the field that night.
Typical Rovers though, I nearly always wanted them to lose and they invariably won yet the few times I wanted them to win they lost.

That's probabaly about the best summary. There had been, obviously, loads of trouble at the Bohs - Rangers game (actually there were probably more Linfield supporters at that game!). So at the Rovers game, many just stayed away (and it was in the afternoon). And I think every cop in the city was at the game.
There were certainly hundreds of Linfield supporters there. But they were well segregated in the far corner. I remember Pat Byrne having a go at the shed after some Rovers nutter threw what looked like a lock at a Linfield player taking a throw. But the game was largely forgetful.
FFS, noone's answered my question: Was it David Jeffrey that scored for Linfield??

Yeah, so anyway, I think there was more than 200.
