In Tuesday night’s Glentoran Gazette Warren Feeney tells how he brought the squad in on Sunday to discuss how they could bounce back from a result which left him frustrated. He blamed a loss of concentration for Carrick’s goals but reiterated his message that we need to finish off teams after taking the lead in games. He also looks ahead to tonight’s game while our writers detail Linfield’s flying start to the season. Teenage defender Jonny Russell talks to us after penning a full-time deal which ties him to the club until 2026 in a 40-page programme which features graphic artist Beth Stafford’s timely cover as we approach Remembrance Day of a World War One soldier wearing his Glens scarf. We report on how a summer of hotseat bloodletting ruined the NIFL Premiership’s reputation as the safest place in Europe for bosses and ask can Irish League clubs meet the European target NIFL chief executive Gerard Lawlor has set for them. Norman Ternahan takes a look at some of the clubs we have only faced once in competition while programme publishers, the 1923 Committee, tackle the thorny issue of concession tickets at matches. Henry Muldrew, our man with the much used passport, takes a peek behind the old Iron Curtain, Brian McClelland talks to local artist Stevie Lee about one of his cartoons with a Glens flavour to it and we find out what Hrvoje Plum is up to, as well as looking south of the border as the League of Ireland season draws to a close with this weekend’s FAI Cup final. The aforementioned Mr Ternahan and Tommy Sewell also give their take on Saturday’s games in words and pictures. The Gazette, at £4, is by the fans for the fans.
