Fantastic Irish Cup Final victory!

This Cliftonville side showed up today with an intent on WINNING! Great job, hopefully they will get the credit they deserve from all analysts and commentators who very often tend to be "Linfield-leaning". Better team won today, and not a very good two weeks for the mighty blues!

Poor showing from Linfield who resorted to hopeless shots from distance in extra time.

Referee killing the momentum of the game everytime a Cliftonville player went down faking cramp didn't help but as you say, the better team on the day won.

A friend of mine was part of the coaching team who were offered the Cliftonville job at the start of the season and they turned it down as they didn't like the direction the owners wanted to go in. They ended up at Ballymena who narrowly avoid relegation yesterday. Seems like a poor move in hindsight.

Faking cramp?

Those first 20-30 minutes the referee couldn’t wait to give a free kick for Linfield. The second half he rightly booked 3 or 4 Linfield players for hacking down Cliftonville players on the break.

Better team won on the day so suck it up Buttercup.

Yes faking cramp.

Correct Linfield players were booked for fouls.

Correct the better team on the day won.

I have nothing to suck up.

Would you say you'd be a wee bit simple?

Faking cramp during extra time? Ok. Elite athletes and elite footballers suffer from cramp. Irish league players are neither. I think it’s fairly obvious they weren’t faking after putting such a shift in.

Nothing simple about that but it’s obvious you’re still hurting. Cheer up, it’s a Bank Holiday weekend.
