Nice way to win a football match. Last kick of the first half, and last kick of the second. As far as the football goes we certainly weren't at our best, Linfield had the majority of the play and by far the most chances but I thought we were dogged in defence and particularly between the sticks. Our midfield was basically non-existant hence all the one way traffic in the second half, but up front Stephen Carson and Gary Hamilton were always a threat. The latter clearly reminding his ailing counterpart up-front for the Blues how to put the ball in the net. Gazza's contribution since his return from exile has been nothing short of stunning.
Not pretty on the eye from us, we won't win the League, but it's nice to see a consistant unbeaten run for a change. I've seen the Glens dominate many games all down the years against the Blues and lose, so today I have a nice feeling. You can have all the statistics you want but the only one that matters is goals scored at the end of the day. Glentoran 2 Linfield 0.
Cooking on Gaz !!

Was certainly the result the rest of the League wanted
To be honest its a long time since i have seen Linfield dominate a game so much and come away with nothing. Could have won by four goals and no one would have complained, but cest la vie
.
We're on a terrible run at the moment but actually was pleased with the performance last night, if not the result.
Carson is by far and away your best player and impresses me every time i see him.
As for us, if we play like that when struggling then there is little to worry about.
Good to see Mulgrew back (although about 2 stone overweight) and think we will come good again in the next few weeks.
Congratulations but beware.

Oh I know you'll still win the league, but it would be nice if we can get the upper hand on you over the course of the season and at least take the satisfaction out of winning it for you.
Carsie is a class act I agree. He'll play a big part in any success (if any) that we will have this season.

Disappointing result last night but I agree with Earl you can't fault the performance on another day we could've had 3 or 4 but hey thats football,thought Patterson had his best game for us it was good to see him actually chase back & even tackle!!! Maybe DJ has had words with him but the goals will come for him he just needs to take a leaf out of Hamilton's book & work just that little bit harder,as for the Glens I can't believe Glenmen still think they've no chance of winning the league that was a big result & they've as good a chance as the rest of us,certainly sets the season up well for us Irish League diehards,enjoy the moment Peoples Club hopefully we return the favour on Boxing Day(weather permitting of course) COYB

Lisburn, now you know why Glenmen think they have no chance of the League. We don't have the depth you have, and too many silly results.

You maybe have a point Peoples Club thats a terrible result after the hard work of beating us on wednesday night but the way this season is going your definately not out of the running yet,big blow for the Ports too with Tipton picking up an unfortunate injury he will be a big hole to fill for them
