A huge lift for Linfield as they try to seal the double on Tuesday night. Young Joel Cooper deserved MOM for me tonight. Didn't even realise it was on last night! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji33]Yep strange that the IFA decided to move it to the Friday night, not quite sure why, irrespective of the League programme this Tuesday?[emoji848] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Linfield do the double as it finishes Coleraine 1 Linfield 1, a draw was probably a fair enough result 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Linfield do the double as it finishes Coleraine 1 Linfield 1, a draw was probably a fair enough result Congrats to David Healy and his side. They’ve deserved it overall for me. Hopefully a good battle to look forward to next year. With an improved Glens side, Larne staying the pace and Coleraine having another crack at it. Some game at Taylors Ave tonight btw. Carrick 2 - 0 in front against Glenavon and end up losing 3-6! [emoji15] Was looking so promising too for Scott Irvine to stake a claim for the full time gig. Still puzzled at Currie’s departure though!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much improved second 45 from Coleraine, although they couldn't have been much worse and they were playing against 10 men. For the last 15 minutes they reverted to playing high balls into the land of the giants, total waste of time. That's the sort of result that come the end of the season proves decisive. Congratulations to Linfield, both they and Coleraine won their final games. Coleraine bridesmaids once again, don't think I'll ever see them lift the Gibson Cup again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57290634 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 An interesting closed season to develop at Windsor with the Blues going full time. Probably have to replace Andy Waterworth, Mark Haughey & maybe Jamie Mulgrew whilst young Shayne Lavery looks for a move over to England. Know that Haughey has been out for some time until his recent return, but that’s still quite a bit of business to do; to adequately cover the others, and before anyone else considers their livelihood outside the game and the length of contracts on offer?

Jacksgranda Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Crusaders haven't had much luck with penalties. have they? Stephen Baxter very gracious on Radio Ulster there now, said that the ref and linesman had apologised to him/the team, and that was the end of the matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cliftonville go on to beat Larne on Saturday they'll net a minimum of *250,000 (euros) competing in the UEFA ECL! eek.

(*according to the Belfast Telegraph) I've heard Baxter quite a lot being interviewed, being a pundit, and he's always struck me as a pretty grounded and reasonable individual, obviously passionate about his job, but realises there are far more important things than winning football matches Edited June 3, 2021 by Jacksgranda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 That man McDaid has Larne 1 up at half time in the Europa League play off final. Just about deserved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Quite enjoyed that, Larne comfortably running out 3-1 winners. McDaid a deserved MotM.I know they’ve had some money thrown at them but think they’ve deserved something else out of this season (in addition to the Antrim Shield) from what they have contributed in the league and cup competitions. Quite something to see Larne competing in Europe next season. Pleased for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Larne deserved the European place and they've earned it on merit. Thought the ref tried to let things flow as far as practicable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji848] He’s been in the starting line up for most of the season at Inver Park. Not sure what his injury record is like but seems he’s struggled to command a regular place at his previous clubs including the Glens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
