Sentanta cup

What a shocking display from the teams from the north apart from beating derry away with a reserve team there was nothing to shout about in this cup for Glentoran. As a result the Glens sacked there boss. Anyone in the south intrested......

I cant say I have too much interest in the league, I keep an eye on the league table and all that but thats about it

Thats the same up here, But with Derry some teams like limavdy and instutite enjoy watching them getting beat.

Well I read this week theyre thinking of changing the format of the Cup around so the Northern teams will have more of a chance! Its going to be later in the year and the Irish First Division Champions are going to be included instead of the team 2nd in the Prem League

Nope clearly a instute fan has told you that one Ive heard nothing changing a few managers have said theyd like to see it change with Saturday matches and less monday matches but nothing really big....

It actually was a stute fan that said it I read it on the Finn Harps forum.

Something should be done to liven it up, it has the potential to be a quality cup competition ifeverything works out

is it true that the second half of the setanta cup games will be played in september

Heard something about that all right yeah

Its to make it more fair as the Northern teams are on pre season while its on in the current format. Makes sense I suppose...

is it not the irish teams that are on pre season.but its a bit of a gap dont you think.who is that player finn harps signed.supposed to be big signing for them

Yeah actually you're right...

Dont know who you're on about at Harps, we got Shaun Williams from Drogheda the other day on loan, Stuart Malcolm from Shels signed last week on a full time deal. I wouldnt really call either big signings though...

his name is cornelious.bad name but there was a big write up about him.ah you know much about stuart malcolm.he is a great defender.wouldn't be a surprise if he got awarded captain

Ah Cornelius Gallagher, wouldnt call him a big signing though. Only signed him from a local club in Donegal. Hes signed on a full time deal though and apparently is a good player.

We got a right back today from Dunfermline, Aaron Labonte. Young English player who's got plenty of experience, played in 2 Scottish Cup finals so he should be a real quality signing

yeah i heard stephen kenny recommended him to paul hegarthy...anyway who do you fancy for this years setanta cup.

Dont really know tbh! Linfield are always there or there about. Drogheda & St Pats will probably challenge as well. You wouldnt know with Derry either with Kenny back in charge.

Ill go with Pats though, theyve spent plenty of money over the past month and seem to have a really good team this season

yeah pats always start positive in the league.but fade away come towards the final part of the season.brian kerr will get that job once johnny mac does bad.you going to go see harps much this season

This threads gone a bit off topic but I suppose at least theres something being said in here!

So anyway, I probably wont get to many at the start of the season because of where I live, really awkward to get to games. Im moving to Letterkenny for college in the Summer though so ill make most home games in the 2nd half of the season hopefully.

Do you go to many games yourself?

i didnt go to much last season because i cant stand the first division.i go to most games that i can see of drogheda.so when they play away up in dublin.and i go to the big games like pats and rovers,bohs and rovers.
