Progress for football

On Saturday Linfield won the Irish Cup in front of a sell-out crowd and swept the local trophies with only two defeats in the entire season (Yes I am a blues fan). Whatever the movable row that is the IFA leadership, the football on the pitch seems to be improving as more teams continue the transition from part-time to full-time professional. Also the BBC and IFA have announced a deal for NI home games in the European qualifiers and friendlies to be televised.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
