They are a team packed with big game players who are sure to cause us problems today. We know this is a hugely important period in our season and while we are aware of excitement about upcoming games, we have not been looking beyond today’s immensely difficult challenge against Stephen Baxter’s highly talented squad. We were delighted with our recent wins against Cliftonville (1-0) and Warrenpoint (2-0) and I want to see us maintain this momentum and consistency with more positive performances and results. Our recent wins have been hard fought and well deserved but we are not getting carried away with our pleasing position at the top of the league table, as today’s game only brings us to the half way mark in our league schedule for the season. Kirk Millar will miss the second game in his three match suspension today, after his red card in the recent Cliftonville game. We will also be missing Gareth Deane, Niall Quinn and Mark Stafford today and our medical team are working hard to try and have them fit and available for action soon. On a more positive note, it was pleasing to welcome Jordan Stewart back to action last week in Warrenpoint and Daniel Kearns and Mark Haughey also made welcome returns to the subs bench, after long lay offs due to injury. In Mark’s case, it has been a very long absence of a season and a half, so getting him back in contention for a first team place has required a lot of hard work and patience from Mark and our medical team. I want to wish David Dorrian, his staff and Linfield Swifts’ players every success for the Christmas morning Steel and Sons Cup final against Newington at Seaview. It’s a prestigious occasion in front of an anticipated large crowd and the game will be a great learning experience for our talented young players. If we could win this very special trophy, it would be a major boost for everyone at the club, so the staff and players go into the game with the very best wishes of everyone at the club. It’s a busy and costly period for our supporters who I know have been buying tickets for the upcoming Glentoran, Coleraine and Steel Cup Final games but it’s today’s huge challenge that has been focusing all of our attention and we will need all our supporters fully behind all of our players today, to drive us on to the positive result we all want. In closing, can I take this opportunity to wish all of our supporters, players, staff and directors a very Merry Christmas. We will be doing all that we can on the pitch to make it as happy and blue a Christmas as possible.

L“I am feeling sharp now, it’s been a long time coming. I like to be involved playing and it was hard to sit on the sidelines watching. Hopefully now that I’m back, I am doing the job and giving something to the team. It was hard to watch the European run but the boys were brilliant! It just shows you how good the Irish League is. We were up against top Champions League, European teams, yet a couple of weeks later we got beat by Coleraine, so that just shows you that the Irish League is a great standard. I love playing in it, it’s a great league and it’s very tight this year which is good for the neutral.” Last week, goals from strikers Andy Waterworth and Shayne Lavery gave Linfield a 2-0 win away to Warrenpoint Town. Reflecting on the match, Robinson believes the two strikers getting on the score-sheet is a timely boost, ahead of three big games across the festive period. “I thought we played well. We showed a bit of character to go down to Warrenpoint, as big teams have lost there. Warrenpoint are able to raise their game for the big games, so we were happy to get over the line and get the three points. Our strikers hadn’t been scoring and it had been the back four popping up with the goals but last week, Shayne and Andy got amongst the goals which we were delighted with. They are going to play a big part in the big games coming up and hopefully, they’ll put the ball in the net when it matters.” Looking ahead, the former Crusaders and York City man was feeling positive.

FAI Cup Winners (2) Both teams lie in the bottom half of the table going into this game. Wanderers have drawn four and lost once 1990, 1999 while Cork have lost their last four league games. First Division Champions (3) Wanderers have had a bit of an injury crisis so far, 1985/86, 1995/96, 1999/00 particularly amongst the forwards, where Gary Shaw First Division runners-up (2) and Darragh Lynch have both been missed. Lynch has yet to feature this season. 1990/91, 1997/98 On the plus side it was great to see Charlie Gallagher Shield Winners (1) make his first team debut in Cobh last week. Charlie is 1995/96 the latest player to come through the Academy ranks at Bray to play for the first team. Charlie was top scorer for National League B Division Champions (2) the under 17s last season. 1991/92, 1998/99 Our Academy teams returned to training this week in Enda McGuill Cup (1) preparation for the season. Only teams up to under 18 2005 can train now so the under 19s must wait a bit longer to resume training.

    File: BMD Tony Reeve and Philip Coates Duration: 0:42:38 Date: 05/08/2016 Typist: 685 START AUDIO Tony Reeve: My name is Tony Reeve, I am 63 years old and I have supported them since 1960 or 1961. Philip Coates: My name is Philip Coates, I am 64 and like Tony I have been supporting them since 1961 or 1962. Interviewer: What made you start supporting Stevenage? Tony Reeve: I have always liked football as a boy. My father brought me the first time in the ‘60s and I just caught the bug from there and carried on watching them. Philip Coates: I think roughly the same. My dad brought me along to the first few matches and as I lived in Stevenage I thought, “I will support Stevenage.” Like Tony I like watching football, it was in me to watch it. Tony Reeve: We both live behind the stand here really, so we are both local. 1 Philip Coates: We are very local. Tony Reeve: It is a five minute walk to the ground. Interviewer: So you have seen the ground change over the years then. Philip Coates: Oh yes. Tony Reeve: Well in the early days it was covered with stones when they first made it and they asked for volunteers to come and pick stones from the pitch. Every game they had there used to be players with blood pouring from their legs because of the stones really. Today you wouldn’t believe that was the same pitch, you just can’t believe it. Philip Coates: The pitch now is like a billiard table, but years ago when it rained the water wouldn’t drain away at all.

However, there has been no official comment on the rumours about the resignation, which if true would mean scrapping the grilling filed two weeks ago by three MPs over alleged violations, especially the payment of the $2.2 billion penalty to US’ Dow Chemical. Hussein submitted his resignation to the prime minister along with all Cabinet members two weeks ago after MPs surprised everyone by filing two requests to grill the ministers. In the meantime, Hussein carried out one of the biggest reshuffle in the oil sector, replacing the chief exec- utive officers of all the eight companies under Kuwait Petroleum Corp. The shakeup also included replacing the chief execu- tive officer of KPC Farouq Al-Zanki, who was replaced by Nezar Al- Adasani. A number of MPs swiftly welcomed the reported resignation but no one confirmed the report. MP Abdullah Al- Tameemi said the accept- Hani Hussein ance of the resignation of the oil minister was “long over- due” but called for following the issue on the payment of Dow penalty in court.
