Champions!


Many thanks to Thompo yet again

First in Europe!

Linfield clinched their 46th league title on Saturday with still 6 (SIX) games to go in the league campaign. This went a long way to making up to last season's last-gasp league disappointment.


This team now has the chance to make themselves legends. A win in a possible Irish Cup Final vs Glentoran (who we haven't beaten i nthe final since the 1940s) would secure a domestic clean sweep, not done since the legendary Seven trophy-winning Linfield team of 1961/62.


But the way to REALLY make themselves legends would be to win the all-Ireland Setanta Cup too, making it 5 trophies for the season and Linfield to be true Kings of Ireland.


** UPDATE: Linfield drew 0-0 last night in Dublin with Shelbourne, Maccers was sent off AGAIN for apparently growling at a player who had just tried to remove his kidney with his studs. A good reult, seeing as the Glens beat Derry surprisingly 1-0. We're in the driving seat, and as the fans were singing all last night:

"WE ARE INVINCIBLE!"
