Monday Night's Results

**Mr A** · 03/04/2006, 9:40 PM

Shels 1-1 Derry
Linfield 6-0 Glentoran

Which means that Cork host Shels and Linfield host Drogheda in the semis. From what little I saw of the match at Tolka it seemed like a really good game.

In the league cup Harps won 2-1 on penalties against Galway after a last gasp equaliser secured them a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Are you saying there was seven out of ten penalties missed?

**pineapple stu** · 03/04/2006, 9:54 PM

Six out of nine. Harps still had one over. (2/4 v 1/5). Harps forum shows two hitting the bar in a row, couple of saves, couple of misses.

Who will make the final??

Unsurprisingly i think City can beat Shels monday but I think Linfield will just about beat Drogheda maybe 1-0 or 2-1.

Linfield Vs City in Windsor would be a day to look forward to

**Raheny Red** · 03/04/2006, 10:40 PM

I thought it was a shocking match tonight! But hey a thriller next Monday on the cards now!

Linfield - Shels final! Linfield, 2 in a row

**RedX** · 03/04/2006, 10:54 PM

Delighted we avoided Linfield until the final...

**SeanDrog** · 04/04/2006, 6:47 AM

We have a fantastic defence - Linfield may find it a bit tougher than what they are use to .

What happens if its a draw after fulltime - replay or extra time/penalties?

Conceding 5 goals so far in the Setanta Sports Cup is "fantastic"?

No but conceding zero goals in 4 league matches is

I'll take that as a compliment, thanks.

You wont be playing Linfield in the league this season though!

To be honest at the start of the competition I seen Drogheda as the weakest of the 4 EL teams but I am not too sure now. By all accounts you are playing really well. Only seen your game away to Cork and felt you lost your discipline a bit but held your own up until then. I think this is going to be a really tough one for us. How many do you think will make the trip up?

It's hard to know!!

The Setanta Cup 'buzz' really hasn't got going for drogheda supporters who would only see it above our league cup here - our away crowds will justify that comment, which have been sh!te.

However, Linfield away is what this competition is all about and I can't wait for it!!

It was the fixture I wanted from day one, just for the experience of it!! (I'm too young to rememeber the last time the 2 clubs met in a competitive match in our old stadium, the Lourdes Stadium, but have heard the stories!!)

I am too young for that one myself, when was it? I recall numerous games against LOI clubs in the late 70's and early 80's and attended them but never recall us playing Drogheda.

They're the weakest team alright.
They can't play for a draw in your place because there must be a winner on the night and Drogheda don't know how to play for a win in a big game. They'll try to kick you up and down the park! If Linfield are patient, drogs will have a player or two sent off, then you can go in for the kill.

See you in the final.

I think it was around 82 or 83 but I could be wrong - I'm sure an older drog will be able to confirm!!

It's still talked about down here

!!

Think you may be wrong with that one. The last all Ireland competiton prior to the Setanta was in 1980-81 I think. It was known as the Tyler Cup and we won it. The away games that I recall that year were Sligo and Athlone in the final, I attended both. I think if it had been the 80's I would have remembered it, maybe not though.

Might've been late 70's so - as I said it was a few years before my time. A couple of older drogs might be on later who will be able to confirm the year

Maybe they don't know how to play for a win but I seem to remember some big game in Lansdowne in December that worked out alright for them.

What year did you play in the Tyler Cup in Ballybofey? 1980? Think Glentoran were the last, 1981. Neither was pretty.

You and the Glens must have a running book on who could break the most windows in the town
