Looks like Shels may have been vastly overrated this year again.
Derry should really have scored more tonight. But a great win nonetheless.
Or else its Linfield are vastly underrated this year !?!?Originally Posted by dancinpants

I dunno about that a face, they were fortunate to get a point against us, and then fortunate to get a point against the Glens in the second game. Plus their form in the League has gone a bit awry lately too. Shels must have been absolute muck tonight.Or else its Linfield are vastly underrated this year !?!?
Linfield were well worth their win tonight , they played very well. With Derry having to go to the Oval and Tolka I fancy Linfield and Shels to come out of this group.
Linfield score first Irish League SSC win
Linfield score first Irish League SSC win
Linfield became the first team from the Irish League to secure a win in this season's Setanta Sports Cup and in the process move top of Group B. Linfield easily saw off a poor Shelbourne side, winning 2-0 to leave Shels two points behind both Linfield and Derry in third place.
Shels had their chances to go ahead but it was to be the story of their night as Linfield took control and were unlucky not to go ahead earlier. Dean Delaney had a lucky escape in the Shels goal although that luck would run out later. In difficult conditions, Michael Gault fired Linfield ahead after 34 minutes as Tim Mouncey's initial shot bounced around in the box.

Linfield wanted it more than Shels and deserved their win. Terrible conditions didn't help and didn't suit Shels style of play but they were the same for both teams.
I still think Shels will win next Monday so 3rd time lucky of my Shels v Linfield prediction.
Looks like Derry destroyed the Glens.
The group is still very very interesting and will go to the wire.
Best part of the tv coverage was Pat Dolan rubbing it in to Felix Healy and he literally squirmed in his seat. The "Felix Felix what's the score" chants were clearly audible on the tv coverage too.
Just back, it looks like it's gonna be a long season ahead for us if things remain the same!
Shame on those Linfield "fans" who racially abused Joey Ndo towards the endbut apart from that it was a good atmosphere!
Who Cares?!
there are match pics online now at www.southstandsays.co.uk/gallery.
not a good night to be a photographer. Unless you are an underwater one.

Heard that myself, absolute disgrace!Just back, it looks like it's gonna be a long season ahead for us if things remain the same!

They should be warned as to their future participation in the tournament if that kind of **** doesn't stop.
Don't really follow the Irish league, any black players? any problems before with this?
Wasn't there a black Linfield player tonight?

Yep, we have a black player ourselves who was playing tonight
shows the mentality of the *****s. Nothing i can say can make up for the shame of it but the fact that a thread on ilf already has 250 odd posts in 2 hours shows how strongly wee feel about it.

Fortuna, this is not antagonistic but are "The Billy Boys", "Rule Britannia", "God Save the Queen" and "The Sash" part of your usual average IL game repertoire?

It's good to know your average Linfield fan is sensible. Must say I have no problem with Linfield if they (well, the small minority) cut out the sectarian nonsense and this ridiculous racial abuse of Joey Ndo.
If all fans were like alinfield off our forum I'd be a happy man. Well done on the win anyway. Hope to see you in the final this year!

It was the same when Linfield played us. By their own fans admission idiots chanted songs about Bloody Sunday and "Can you hear the Fenians sing?" after they scored with other disgusting chants thrown in for good measure.
If you look at Derrycitychat it would appear the Glenmen were at it tonight too.
I understand that fans are sickened by this but it doesn't appear to be a tiny minority but a sizeable portion of those who sing when matches like this come about. Fair play to the Linfield board though who have condemned the actions of these thugs.
