Coleraine 0 Linfield 1


Thanks as always to Thompo for the pic

Crisis! Only 3 goals in two league games for the Blues! Still, another 3 points gained over 2nd place, the Glens, who are having a season horribilis, losing 1-0 at home to Limavady and leaving us SEVENTEEN points clear! We've only dropped 2 points all season in the league. Match report from the lately-absent Full-Time Supporter:

It was a pretty dreadful affair to watch, The pitch was terrible, a ploughed field doesn't do it justice, with players losing their footing constantly. A battling performance in which Michael Gault was in his element putting in a man of the match performance although Jim Ervin wasnt far behind in those stakes. A bit of a controversial penalty given by a Scottish referee, Some part of an exchange program, and the sad fact is we think our referees are bad, well he was as bad as I have seen all season. Davy O'Hare nearly kept out fergusons spot kick but I suppose we were due a bit of luck in the penalty stakes. Oran Kearney hit the bar late on while Kyle McVey missed a free header from around 6 yards which could have tied the game up. Apart from that nothing else of interest.

One other small point of note, DJ must be the only person in the country who would put Mark Picking on the right wing every week, he offers absolutely nothing and has had numerous opportunities over the years. Chris Kingsberry, is the future although to continually put him on the bench could lead to him not being around for too long, the choice must surely be Kingsberry or Mouncey if he is fit.


Next up, Glentoran on Tuesday in the County Antrim Shield semi-final. A win would leave Roy Coyle in big diffs...
