In Tuesday night’s Glentoran Gazette Rodney McAree reveals he was disappointed at only picking up one point on Saturday despite a wonder goal from Conor McMenamin which put us in the driving seat close to the end of the game at Coleraine and adds that he views tonight’s Big Two derby as a tough task against a talented and physically strong Linfield team. Meanwhile, Jamie Megarry says Linfield are coming into the game with their tails up after a big win over Cliftonville. Shay McCartan opens up on his year of hell to Matthew Brown in an issue that sees Beth Stafford place the aforementioned Conor Mac as her cover star and covers Paddy McClean’s shock decision to quit football. Also on the home front Colin Davidson shares news of the work going on behind the scenes over ticketing for away games for Glens fans while the Gazette publishers, the 1923 Committee, say we can’t complain too much about refereeing decisions given recent events. The prolific Brian McClelland profiles the Woodstock Mountie, Canadian international and former Glentoran captain Terry Moore, Henry Muldrew visits upmarket west London on his journey around English grounds and we preview the new League of Ireland season. In another 40-page programme we also have a round-up of news from the Oval while Norman Ternahan and Thomas Sewell bring all the latest match action in words and pictures. The Gazette, by the fans for the fans, is £4.
