Eight weeks earlier none of it had been expected — top of the league and in the Irish Cup semi-final, then a subsequent expulsion from the Cup and a dip in form left the play-offs as the route. A European place is described as worth several hundred thousand pounds, raising the profile of the club and attracting players, with non-qualification leaving a hole in the budget. Jay Donnelly and Conor McMenamin, with 28 and 20 goals between them, had scored over half the side's goals.

Alan McDonald, speaking after the Irish Cup victory over Limavady United in the last round, wants his players to take more of the goalscoring chances they are creating — happy with the win but reckoning the game could have been won far more comfortably. Recent injuries to Paul Leeman, Kyle Neill, Jason Hill and Sean Ward are reported to have put an end to any more players leaving as the transfer deadline loomed, BJ Menamin having already moved to Larne. Michael Halliday writes in his East Belfast Herald column that the Glens are beginning to click again after a second-half-of-the-season dip. Coleraine boss Davy Platt reckons the Glens the best footballing team his men have faced all season but tells the Belfast Telegraph that he does not fear Alan McDonald's team: 'Glentoran are a threat but we have the men for the big occasion.' Supporters' club bank balances are reported hit by postponements at Institute, Cliftonville and Newry, leaving clubs out of pocket for booked buses. Cover price £2.50.

The news pages report Belfast's Commonwealth heavyweight champion Martin Rogan as a guest of the club at the Belfast derby with Linfield, meeting the players, touring the Oval and watching from in front of the Directors' Box before taking to the field at half time with his belt. Michael Halliday's last-gasp equaliser against Linfield the previous week is recorded as his fourteenth goal against the Blues — more than he has scored against any other club except Coleraine — taking him to joint thirteenth on the Glens' all-time goalscorers list alongside Johnny 'Stumpy' Jamison of the 1973-74 side that reached the European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final. Former Glens keeper Alan Gough, by then manager of Longford Town, had to register himself as a player because of a goalkeeping crisis. Stephen Parkhouse speaks of his indebtedness to the club, recalling that Glentoran made sure he had an income while out with a broken leg and played a game in his mother's memory after her death.

The 'UpFront' pages report that the Oval should have a new floodlighting system in place for the following season — an American-designed system on four pylons, up to ten times more powerful than the virtually obsolete one at the ground and with far less light pollution to the surrounding area. Oval legend Glen Little has re-joined Reading on loan from Portsmouth, staying with his former club until the end of the season to help them back into the top division. Glens legend Chris Walker reveals he is suffering severe head and neck pains, a legacy of his footballing days, which he believes date back to a broken cheekbone sustained in a UEFA Cup match six years earlier. Members of the famous 1973\/74 European side were reunited the previous weekend, and heard news of their former opponent Miah Dennehy, once of Cork Hibernians and Nottingham Forest. Gary Hamilton insists the Glens have the nerve to capture the JJB Premiership crown: 'A lot was said after the Blues battered us on Boxing Day and we let a lot of people down, but we have to keep this going.' Former Glens striker Stephen Parkhouse scored on his debut for new club Sligo Rovers as they held the Glens' Setanta Cup final opponents Cork City to a 1-1 draw on the opening weekend of the new League of Ireland season, with Shaun Holmes also making his debut.
