I Think It's All Over

Linfield draw, Cliftonville fluke an 8-0 away win at Ballymena. We're so far away we're not even close. Perhaps I should check the religion section under "miracles"?

1 Cliftonv'e 16 36
2 Crusaders 16 29
3 Ballin'd U 16 29
4 Coleraine 16 28

Oh dear, what can I say? We all have bad years.

Now I know we're fecked.......

I don't think I've ever seen a more incompetent and half-hearted display of "defending" than that by Ballymena. For once I wasn't happy to see them lose! What a waste! Four 1-1s in a row for Coleraine now ...

[Duncer]

I suspect the draws will kill off your challenge, unfortunately.

[ichkeria]

We've been behind in all of them, so I suppose that says something for our powers of recovery.
It's quite common for runaway leaders (altho' it's only 7 pts) to hit the buffers and I suspect that there are still a few twists and turns to come. For us to emulate the team of 1973-4 though I think will be asking too much

[Duncer]

On form, Coleraine are as good as anyone in the league; maintaining that top form is the problem for them, as it is for any team. I suspect Clim'ville's firepower will be the deciding factor, although they have yet to be hit by any injuries, so that may tell a tale or two.

tho im a Blue man too Duncer(my uncle lived off the lisburn road-and had a season ticket & got me in when i was up that way)
Ballymena (my nearest team) were a complete disaster at the weeend-i thot they could have taken at least a point off the reds

[ichkeria]

Ballymena: 14 goals conceded in 2 home games in 6 days must be some sort of record ...

[nannybooby]

what are you doing bemoaning footie you should be into hurling !

[ichkeria]

On the contrary - whenever I think ill of football I then think of hurling and realise that football is not so bad after all ...

[Duncer]

Very true.
