The bottom half scrum is pretty thrilling right now. 2pts between 6th and 11th. Also, today couldn't have gone any worse for Glenavon. 9pts is a big gap, even this early in the season. Oh, it's the Mid-Ulster derby next week too. ๐ฅ๐๐ฅ

Urgent review into concrete walls around pitches locally is needed We've already had our scares/close calls. This is a tragic story.

Mark and Ross on the pod this season have been adamant that a result like tonight was coming. It might be a minor blip, but what do you think is the issue Blues fans? Midfield mobility? Lack of width at the top end of the pitch? Shape too defensive?
There's people out there who didn't have to watch that Linfield match tonight and I'm wildly jealous of all of them. Absolutely honking, ending the game with 1 midfielder was baffling. Horror show. That was coming๐

18 clubs miss out on Footaball Fund cash. All eyes were going to be the fate of Ards and Institute, who aren't included out on this occasion. But Derry, Portadown and Coleraine feel like the headline names to not get anything.
