I want to know how much I need to give a shit about this game. -1. Crues are Working Mans' Club team from a loyalist area in North Belfast. Always had Catholics playing for the us throughout the troubles, including a squad of 'free-staters' in the 90s. Fans are more interested in the match and the beer than what foot you kick with!

You would probably be as well folding. Expect Vaughan to pick up a knock in the lead up to this game, it must be too hard for him to line up against the heros who revived his career. There are two potential outcomes here which would be the final straw for me: Chris Johnston tormenting our defence Mark Stewart beating our offside trap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart will play and actually might score, if do nothing else. 4 minutes ago, Raithie said: Will our ex players be fit? They're normally on the treatment table about this time of the season. Stewart broke his elbow, Barr had a wee niggle that kept him out of one game but aside from that they've all been fit. Barr is a monster and seems to be helped by part time training. Handling is out after an operation and is probably the only one of your ex-players that won't be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always play breakup songs over the tannoy before the start of the game. In all honesty, we hit maximum embarrassment last season with Stevenson in goals, after signing him in place of Vaughan. And even then we still finished above Ayr, who should be more embarrassed than ourselves at failing to take 9th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Is it two or three games televised? Would be surprised if ours isn't one of them. Sincerely hope we knock the mob out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flash Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Not too far from Dobbie’s hoose. Players and officials could stay at his and trouser most of the £5k travel expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broony88 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Our game will 100% be on the Welsh channel s4c which unlike alba has English commentary available via the red button. Would imagine alba will go for Dundee Utd v Crusaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Despite some of the internecine bickering on these forums, I'm sure everyone will extend condolences to the family of this man. http://www.belfastlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/crusaders-boss-pays-tribute-supporter-13731765 Dreadful for friends and family to see someone go to a game and not come home.

Total failure to mention a Loyalist banner having to be taken down at a European game and the fact that your support is almost exclusively from one section of the community, but sure that's only Linfield, isn't it? Oh wait, we had a squad of them free-staters too, and African Catholics. Anyway, good luck in the next round. I'm off to watch our game at Dundee United later this evening.

Surely would increase audiences. I dont know why they would do it and I dont really understand why S4C do. Surely the point of these channels is to promote use of the language and showing these games should hopefully force general population to listen to and take an interest in Welsh / Gaelic. Offering an English language alternative for me just completely defeats the purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it would be good if they offered that option but I'd be amazed if it increased audiences. If folk aren't tuning in to watch football because the commentary isn't in English then they are complete fannies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an English commentary, what'd be Gaelic about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
