Still though, he must be over the moon to play in front of a crowd, Job satisfaction at least.

Smacking goal by Gary O'Neill there. 2-0.

Got text updates from one of our SC members, wasted a serious amount of chances by all accounts.

Personally i cant get motivated with the Setanta cup, dont know what it is..

I was only half paying attention, I heard him mention us but that is obviously where I got the two from.

2-0 Pats. Linfield lucky there is only 10 minutes left. Pats have missed a load of chances.

Some seriously angry people in the crowd judging by the audio.......

2 v 0 Saints. Could have been cricket score............

You know perfectly well that's not the point.

Why wouldn't you want to do something to arrest the demise of the IL? In a more competative league, with standards gradually rising year on year?

Looked like Jeffries was saying, "You b***ard you! You effer, eff you!" to McDonnell when he was shaking hands.

Must switch over for the David & Patrick post match interview

Looks like it all kicked off at the Pats Linfield match. 6 arrested according to the BBC website!

Derry had by far the most of the possession and probably shoulda won although Glens created a fair few good chances with minimal possession.

Sloppy defending for the Glens goal - bad missed header. McGlynn almost won it late on when he smashed a shot against the bar from 35 yards.

Not a terrible result but shoulda taken the 3 points.

Interesting quote from Linfield chairman

How exactly do you stop unorganised travel? Close the roads to non-Linfield fan buses

How exactly do you stop unorganised travel?

Don't sell tickets to those who don't travel on official club buses?

Very hard to monitor though, people would always get tickets some way or another.

It's on the front page of tomorrow's Indo. Big picture of some fella with a bloody face being led away by the Guards.

Alot of Linfield fans were drunk and were singing crap like Rule Britannia and GSTQ.

25 I think. We had a few out with flu apparently

Linfield were very. We should've scored 7/8

Absolutely massive police presence. All pats fans kept back for 20 minutes or so and Emmet Road closed from 9.30 to 10.30

No way Pats fans were involved in trouble as we were all kept back. No one allowed leave after start of 2nd half

The crap coming from your lot was embarrassing and was quite clear coming across on TV. Was probably the minority but Setanta could have moved their audio equipment away from where the chants were coming from.

That 'crap' is their national anthem, like it or not.
