January 14, 20205 yr Went to see the NIFL tonight Cliftonville 1 Linfield 2 Pretty gutted at that, could have been a big statement. Was actually on sky sports too!
January 15, 20205 yr Yeh it had a big game feel to it, huge queues down Cliftonville road half an hour before kick off. Played well the first half before Linfield played well second. Problem with us is that we try and play football which doesn't happen often in the Irish league whereas Linfield hoof it and score from set pieces.
January 17, 20205 yr Author Masters Snooker for me on the telly this weekend. Catch Match of the Day and possibly watch the Santiago ePrix.
