Saturday, 6 September 2008 Crusaders v Coleraine, 15:00 Dungannon Swifts v Lisburn Distillery, 14:30 Glenavon OFF Linfield, 15:00 Glentoran v Bangor, 15:00 Institute v Ballymena, 14:00 Newry v Cliftonville, 15:00 I`ve taken this from the BBC Website. Why is the Blues game off? Why is there 2 early kick offs? Is it all in aid of the Norn Iron match? Slovakia v Northern Ireland, 16:30
Alan Mannus is in the N.I squad so our match has been called off. I can only assume the early kick-offs are in aid of the N.I match, but i'm not sure.
Linfield match off as their keeper in N.I. sqaud usually this only happens if there is an absence of two players but because the keeper holds such a kep position in the team, exceptions can be made. As per the two early KO's these where agreements between the proposed clubs to assist there supporters in taking in both the game of their local team and the International game. Whilst on the subject of international matches one of the buses travelling to Nurwee on Saturday will be remaining behind to assist those Reds men who would like to watch the Eire game which KO's at 5 the bus will then depart back to belfast at approx 7, the plan is to head into Nurwee City Centre after the game for International Duty and a few refreshments
