Caught the second half tonight.
Drogheda did well down the right, Shelley was outstanding. Two well-taken goals by Cliftonville. I didn't think it was a penalty but I didn't get to see a replay of it.
Guy Bates should've scored with his chance.
Cliftonville robbed. Shouldve been a penalty

Abri o portão de ouro, da maquina do tempo.
Mi mamá me hizo guapo, listo y antimadridista.
Cliftonville were not robbed. Drogheda were the better team on the night.
What was the Full time in the Cork game?
Dungannon,ports and the glens have been whipping boys evert yime they qualify for the setanta,it it wasn.t for linfield's performances it would look even worse for the northern teams,the loi teams are setting the standards and with the exception ot the blues the rest are not at the races,the blues ,glens and cliftonville,with maybe one or two more really should be jumping at the chance of an all ireland league.
we looked from Montrose to Swords, from swords to Montrose and from Montrose to Swords again but already it was impossible to spot UCDs right winger
I was embarrassed to watch Felix and Pat. Why could Setanta not have a proper presenter to do the show and then have the two lads as pundits. They just look like they haven't a clue when it comes to presenting. Ill say nothing about their punditry![]()
Thought we performed well enough considering the injury problems we've had and we were unlucky not to get a draw at the end was definately a penalty!
We had two strikers out and Chris Scannell who did play up front only got back from a business trip to America at 1.30 that morning! and a couple of players on the bench were just coming back from injury. the squad is a small one and our season started back in June with the Intertoto so the players are probably a bit knackered at this stage!Who are they missing?
Also thought your man Doolan hosting it was an ejit!
Hopefully Cliftonville will be able to win some of their home games. I think it will be a big ask for them to win away to Cork or Drogheda.
Cliftonville has to beat Dungannon home and away. Hope Drogs and Cork cancell each other out.
But Cliftonville has to win ALL home matches and that is going to be a massive task.
The Hallion Battalion Molests football.:D
Cliftonville played well i thought .They just werent physical enough , compared to the linfield teams we have played who hassle and fight for every ball .We should have scored a few more and they should have had a peno but overall we deserved the win .
I know it is only 1 match, but I think Cliftonville will be a team that could upset a few Southern teams. They are not that far behind IMO.

Just saw the second half this morning when it was repeated on Setanta and I have to say I was pretty impressed by Cliftonville.
They passed the ball much better than the likes of Dungannon and Ports and were unlucky not to get anything out of the game.
The fact that their main striker was just back from American really sums up the difference in the leagues and why a full-time club is almost certain to win the tournament.
It was also good to see the crowd they brought down (or up from Dublin in some cases) for the match! At least it shows that the club and fans are interested in the competition and hopefully they qualify for it again next season.
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
Drogs deserved winners
looked like a peno to me but the ref was a bottler so didn't give it.
While their goal from the free was excellently taken it was never a free in the first place - I'd say those two issues therefore cancel each other out and two goals is all cliftonville were good for on the night.
Agree they weren't as physical as other northerners.
Drogs should have and could have had 2/3 more - lot of players looking rusty. If seasons were matched they wouldn't get close though
I think at home stevey cliftonville could maybe cause an upset, every time i have seen them this season they have been exciting to watch. Its good for the competition that they competed so well against the Drogs. Apart from the penalty decision I thought the referee had a great game, puts the LOI refs to shame
