  2. 'A remarkable start from Crusaders'published at 17:12 BST 29 August

    FT: Glentoran 1-2 Crusaders

    BBC Sport NI pundit on BBC Radio Ulster

    The most disappointing thing for Glentoran is the amount of chances they missed. They certainly could have won the fixture today but did not because of how wasteful they were in front of goal.

    Take nothing away from Crusaders, a side who are in the Premiership after a penalty shootout win in the play-off, Declan Caddell has had to rebuild.

    A remarkable start from Crusaders.

    It was Owen Wardell again who started the move, he has been the main spark for Crusaders and he has been a continuous threat.

    He is a very clever player, and he has driven towards goal there.

    I did not see this coming.
