So DJ conspires to destroy a 12-point lead in just over a month. My time with DJ's Linfield ended once and for all when he brought back in O'Kane, Murphy (a fine example to others for his behaviour on NYE when he disobeyed instructions, got blocked and rolled into training still hammered, then was dropped for a game, then made captain, a fitting reward I'm sure you'll agree) and Douglas, 3 players who should have never played together again at the back after the clusterfuck IC semi vs the Reds in April 09. We ended up on Sat with 5 players who in all likelihood will not be at the club next season - throw in Tomelty and Munster - and this says it all about how clueless and directionless Fearless Leader is. Long-term strategy indeed.

Linfield bow out of another Santa with a whimper. Murphy and O'Kane at the back, inspired.
