Conor McMenamin is the best player in the Irish League and is continually being failed by Referees from Thuggish teams. Absolutely Shameful....

It riles me that George Best is ignored on the Greatest player lists. His Alcohol problems harmed his legacy but he was European Footballer of the year at 22 and never even reached his peak. That shouldn't detract that he was the Best Footballer on the Planet until he was 26.

Baxter fields a weakened Crusaders team v Linfield. 8 changes. No relevance to Glentoran because we had already blown it... but Cliftonville deserved better. A lack of sporting integrity that needs to be stored in the memory bank and reciprocated if the need arises. Never forget.

The inherent expectancy that enthusiasts will continue to lend their support to a club that doesn't respect the beliefs and principles of the majority - is a huge mistake. Players, Managers & Directors come and go. Supporters remain unless they are driven away. Respect costs zero

56 years today, I was one of over 40,000 at the Oval in Belfast to see Eusibio equalise in the last minutes to scrape a 1-1 draw with Glentoran. 0-0 in the return at Lisbon. Benfica won on Away goals rule. I met the great man later and tried to sign him for the Glens. He was 61.

Michael McDermott 100% right in that BBC interview. Best player in the League is getting hacked every week because he's unplayable. If the Referee's don't protect the best players what hope is there?

Ron "Yorkie" Manley would have been 63 today. Here scoring v Linfield & with Cliftonville team mate Keith Alexander and Liam Murray. Ron was a Legend at Glentoran and then Cliftonville. Not many achieved that. He told me he loved his time at the Reds too. Taken too soon. GBNF.

The IFA closed a stand at the National Stadium after previous Thuggery from Linfield "fans." 2 Glentoran players were injured by the same thugs last night. This was an away game, a points deduction is the only option. If not, their patronage of Linfield is further underlined.

It's mad some players seldom get much credit because their standards are so high it's expected of them. James Singleton falls into that category. I've seen it happen over the years to various players at different clubs. Singy is so versatile he fits seamlessly into any position.

Everyone wants to see Conor playing at the higher level he deserves, but Glentoran are 100% correct snubbing insulting offers. Gone are the days when Irish League players go for buttons. £150,000 is still dirt cheap. He'll improve any team below the Premier League. Top player.

Seanan Clucas Man of the match v Crues. He also kept Larne's best player in my opinion Leroy Miller in check in the previous game. Seanan was a long time out but is back and like a new signing. I always said he was a Top player even when others had doubt. Nice to be proven right.

I never publicly criticise our players or Managers ever. Glentoran issuing a belligerent, inflammatory statement over their own fans protest is madness. Supporters are the biggest asset a Football club can have. Drive them away and it's the end of the game.

Definitely rate Tomas Cosgrove of Larne and Lyndon Kane of Coleraine. 2 Top right backs. Would I swap either for Rhys Marshall? Absolutely not.

By far the best site in Belfast for an International Stadium. Old Sirocco works, Bridge End, City centre. 16 Acres sold for £40M during the boom. Later Sold after the property bang for £7M by Namas. Great Transport links. IFA can't see further than their nose. Still vacant.
