Failed Statelet Premier League (and other divisions) 2019/20


Recommended Posts

Glentoran top - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51162055

The Glens defeated Institute 2-0, while Linfield could only draw with Dungannon Swifts 0-0 - a great point for them - and Cliftonville crashed 1-0 at Carrick. Crusaders and Coleraine both won comfortably against Larne and Warrenpoint respectively - no slip up at Milltown this time round for Coleraine - and Glenavon, despite half their squad leaving for pastures new (I exaggerate slightly) strolled to a 3-0 win at the Warden Street Showgrounds. Ballymena seem to have completely lost their way, Jeffrey's jaiket on a shoogly peg?

Glentoran top, 53 from 25, second Crusaders 52 from 26, third Linfield 51 from 24 - that game in hand could prove crucial - fourth Coleraine 50 from 26, and fifth Cliftonville on goal difference, played 25. It's all very exciting! Sixth are Larne 38 from 25. I'm sure Larne will be happy with a top half finish for this season.

Bottom half: Seventh are Glenavon 31 from 25, eighth Carrick 28 from 25, they'll be pleased with that to date, ninth a very disappointing Ballymena 26 from 25, tenth Dungannon Swifts 19 from 24, giving themselves a 4 point cushion (and two games in hand) over eleventh placed Institute who are a point ahead of bottom placed Warrenpoint Town.

If anybody is wondering (highly unlikely given the lack of posts on this thread) about my comment re Glenavon - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51147084 and https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51142224

In The Championship Portadown dropped two points to Ballinamallard at Shamrock Park, 3-3, but are still 6 points clear of the Fermanagh men, who will no doubt be quite pleased with a draw. United are 7 points clear of third placed Loughgall, who have a game in hand. Loughgall drew at Dundela. Cup heroes Queens University lost 1-0 at home to fourth placed Newry City. At the bottom it's Dergview ahead of Knockbreda on goal difference, both with 16 points, 4 behind PSNI but the Tyrone men have 3 games in hand on both their relegation rivals.

County Antrim Shield final tonight, Ballymena v Cliftonville at the Windsor International Park Stadium. I would imagine Cliftonville would have been strong favourites a fortnight ago but now a case could be made for either side.

The reporter who wrote the text for that second link should be sacked. 

"Final play of the game".  Is this what it's come to?

Crusaders back on top after a 2-0 win over Ballymena at Seaview. For the second time this season Linfield beat Glenavon by a 7 goal margin, this time 8-1. Glenavon ended with 10 men. Larne beat erstwhile leaders Glentoran at Inver, Warrenpoint score two last minute goals to win at Carrick, Dungannon beat Institute 2-0 at Stangmore and Coleraine play Cliftonville on Monday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51249424

Tonight Linfield face Larne at Inver Park. Might be tricky enough for the Blues. Here's hoping, anyway!

And Glenavon travel to Glentoran. After losing 8-1 on Saturday, a trip to The Oval is not what the doctor would have ordered.

Glentoran win to go back on top as Larne beat Linfield 3-1.

Irish Cup - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51342317. No surprises this time, Queen's put up a good fight against Glentoran but went down 2-3, Larne struggled to get past Ballyclare but prevailed 1-0 in extra time and Dungannon also needed extra time against Newry City.

A bit of a stramash at the end of the Warrenpoint Town v Ballymena United match - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51343869

Quarter final draw - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51343868, either the Crues or the Glens go out, Coleraine have a tricky trip to Inver Park, Ballinamallard maybe fancy their chances at home to Ballymena, and Dungannon take on Cliftonville at Stangmore.

In the league Linfield sail on and Warrenpoint and Institute cut each other's throats. Glentoran drop points at home. Larne win again.
