Netflix superhero series Daredevil is Beth Stafford’s inspiration for the cover of tomorrow night’s Glentoran Gazette as we take on Glenavon in the Sports Direct Premiership. In the aftermath of our Bet McLean Cup final defeat John Grayden takes issue with a less than satisfactory ticketing system and Norman Ternahan assesses how things went on the pitch. There’s double Muldrew this week, Henry wondering if we set too much store by data in the modern game and recalling some iconic images on both sides of the Irish Sea. William James has been equally busy, looking at the latest innovations from the IFAB after their visit to Northern Ireland and giving us the lowdown on the opening games of the League of Ireland season. Meanwhile, as we await the release of the Northern Ireland Football Fund, Brian McClelland looks back more than thirty years to a Glentoran stadium plan which fell by the wayside and, despite our exit in the quarter-final, the 1923 Committee argue that the Irish Cup is very much alive and kicking. Plus all our usual features; photo action from Thomas Sewell, a look at our visitors’ resurgence under new manager Paddy McLaughlin, Ex-Men, This Week Then, news from Around The Club and all the stats. Your multi-award winning Glentoran Gazette, by the fans and for the fans, is just £4.
