Always enjoyed awaydays at Coleraine, train just after the off licence opened, so a bottle of Bucky and 6 beers, change at Lisburn and meet a couple of mate's the off the train about 1pm, chippy across the road and then into the pub across the road from the station to 2:40, stagger up Ballycastle Road and into the away end, round to the shed and try and remain upright.......then after the game try to avoid the trouble on the way back to the station

Some mad days round the back of that shed with visiting fans from Glens, Blues, Ballymena and Cliftonville. That pub has seen some sights and my mate has bought it quite recently

Cracking 4-4 last night. Champions Larne 4-1 with few minutes to go and Dungannon swifts scored 3 to earn the draw

Ridiculous decision that BBC have decided to drop the highlights show.

I noticed that Derry City are currently playing in a Europa Conference League playoff. Looked at their starting 11, and saw Will Patching, former City youth player starting. I remember when he was tipped for big things.

I watched that match as there was very little else on.

Quite an entertaining game to be fair, but the last two goals were shocking defending!!

But, enjoyable, nevertheless - does the BBC show a match from the Irish League every week??

My mate was the manager of East Belfast at one time, also a City fan I went over and watched a couple of games , they weren’t a bad side either..

I have a soft spot though for The Crusaders and intend going to a game there one day.
