Probably just trying to get his team into an us vs. the world mentality for the game.

No he was talking about Cork City

First of all there is no way 1 in 5 regular posters here are CCFC fans as almost none of them around here anymore.

I thought it so funny that so many people looked up the word hallion/hellion as I was doing the same thing.

One note to Mr. Jeffreys - Drogs also think your a small time clubs so make sure your players take it out on them

Using the term "down south" properly, then. Good man, Dave.

Up the East!

I was sure this was a **** take when i saw that first message but if he did say it more power to him. It certainly makes more sense than the misinformed rant of the sorest loser in a team full of sore losers. Linfield have the been the best team in the setanta cup in the three years, fact.

**lofty9** · 08/05/2007, 9:37 PM

Hallion is a very commonly used derogatory term used regularly in the north. I'm surprised it made the dictionary. As rants go, not bad, but Rico is in a league of his own DJ, you really can't compete with the Corkies and their rants!

**EireBadBoy** · 08/05/2007, 10:30 PM

The difference being Rico is an intelligent life-form...

D'oh - rumbled !! You know the 'first rule of Linfield Football Club', Jerry....

A petty and unnecessary rant from Jeffreys there. Gamble obviously got to him. He's been seething all week, and even though Cork aren't at the Final he felt the need to have a leftfield rant at them 7 days after he had his initial say ! Rattled....

Perhaps he's been paying too much attention to the Special Needs One over at Chelsea.

Guess what his motivational speech on Saturday will revolve around. the whole disrespect/them versus us angle might be enough to make the difference.

P.S. Have you lot geneuinely never heard the word 'hallion' before ? It's usually used in reference to big oafs from the country (i.e. Jeffrey's with a Tyrone acent). Yee boys need to get north a bit more...

**Frankfurt Hoop** · 09/05/2007, 2:10 AM

"We want to be champions of 32 counties" - Respect to DJ for that!

Despite my family's Belfast Celtic background, I wish them all the best in the Setanta, this year. Passionate fans, good football and a passionate trainer, what more could you want?

I've seen idiots here giving out about them having supporters who are loyalist. What's with that? Have you any idea where Linfield come from?

**paudie** · 09/05/2007, 7:54 AM

In fairness the ungracious reaction of City to defeat to Linfield has brought this slight overreaction from Jeffrey.

Also Jeffrey is sensibly trying to wind up his players and fans before the final. He has had Linfield really well prepared for almost every game they've played in the setanta.

Agreed, there is surely method in his madness.

No. I assumed he meant 'harridan'.

What a classic!! Would love to hear it booming from the stands in next seasons setanta v linfield!!!

It would show a 'sense of humour' and a small bit of 'taking yerselves less seriously' that was sadly missing from Gamble's rant last week! Although how can a man who molests football take himself lightly?

**Graemerz** · 09/05/2007, 9:56 AM

DJ was correct in his statement. Bring on the Drogs!

Linfield tickets are going very quickly.

The Kop stand which holds 4000, had only a few hundred tickets left(effectively yesterday was the first day on sale)

So I would expect the stand to sell out today or tomorrow morning. Our tickets look set to sell out completely.

We are expecting Drogs to sell out the Bottom deck of the North stand which holds 3000. Hopefully Drogs will be able to do that and maybe put a thousand or two on the top deck(which holds 3800)

So I would expect around the 10,000 mark.

Drogs will do well to sell out the bottom deck. Going by the crowds they have brought in the past I don't expect much. Maybe worse than Dungannon? We will sell out, or be very close to it, as usual though.

Anyone that supports an EL team needs a sense of humour. At CCFC we have but a minority without the ability to laugh. Especially at a rather large Northern chap with a bald head and a red face.
Joe had just cost us the match 10 minutes before that interview and was obviously allergic to Mr Happy Pills questioning, leave him be.
