In the most solemn of weeks the Glentoran Gazette looks back at the club’s Remembrance ceremony held before the league game against Larne while graphic artist Beth Stafford cover features goalkeeper Daniel Gyollai as a war movie hero. Ahead of the Shield semi-final against Ballymena United Declan Devine welcomes Fuad Sule back after suspension for a game the management team wants to win.
Glentoran Football Club would like to thank all those who attended this morning's annual service of Remembrance at the Bet McLean Oval.
The service was conducted by Club Chaplain Rev David Thompson and a poppy wreath was laid on behalf of Glentoran by Club Chairman Colin Jess.
Lest We Forget.
Glentoran FC is pleased to confirm that remedial repair work to the Railway Stand at The BetMcLean Oval has been completed, and the necessary safety certifications have been secured from Belfast City Council and the Irish Football Association.
The decision to temporarily close the Railway Stand, including its seated and covered facilities, was made proactively by the club following an internal review to ensure the health and safety of all supporters.
Glentoran goalkeeper Dániel Gyollai is the Sports Direct Premiership Player of the Month for October.
Three very well taken finishes at Mourneview Park by three of Declan Devine’s summer signings summer signings gave Glentoran their heaviest win of the season so far.
With James Singleton and Fuad Sule suspended Declan Devine was forced into two changes with James Douglas returning to central midfield and Aaron Wightman called up to play right back after a torrid time with injuries to make his first start since March and his first game under the management team. Fortunately, Marcus Kane had recovered to replace Paddy McClean who aggravated an injury in training.
Saturday 9th November
Kick Off 3pm
On Saturday we aim to bounce back to winning ways and up the table with a visit to Mourneview Park in match 16 of the Sports Direct Premiership.
The draw for the quarter and semi-finals of the BetMcLean Cup was made by NIFL this afternoon.
If we win our Round Two tie with Linfield at Windsor Park on Tuesday 3rd December, our Quarter Final will be away to Ballymena United.
Dates and kick-off times to be confirmed.
Today's match at the Bet McLean Oval was a story of two penalties, questionable refereeing decisions, poor attacking play and aggressive flashpoints ultimately leading to the away side taking three undeserved points.
A minute’s silence was observed before kick-off to mark Armistice Day in the final home game before 11 November. We will remember them – always.
Congratulations to Daniel Gyollai on winning the supporters vote for Glentoran Player of the Month for October, his second win in consecutive months.
Dan kept 3 clean sheets in October and his performance in the first half of the Big Two game v Linfield put the team in a position to attack strongly after the break to go on and win the game.
