As a glenavon fan. Good video. Brilliant atmosphere by both sets of fans yesterday. Roll on Boxing Day for hopefully payback 🔵⚪️. Keep up the good work
Amazing video, great to see how much you enjoyed the game at Shamrock park. I had a great time watching it from Baku, Azerbaijan. From a Portadown fan wishing I could have been at the game!
Great content and video Sam. Seen you yesterday at the game. Great to have you there amongst the Ports fans and soak up some of that mid Ulster derby atmosphere.. even better that you got to see and experience a Portadown win! 🇦🇹🔴⚪ Welcomed to shamrock park anytime 🫡
A pleasure meeting you at the game Sam , many thanks for giving me the chance to speak on the video. Hope to see you back over in Northern Ireland in the near future! 🤝
Love your channel. I watch all of your videos My Dad married a Northern Irish lady, since divorced lol but her parents lived right behind the ground next to the petrol station on the corner (not sure if it's still there?) I'm from England but used to spend the summers there as a kid with my Dad and the family. Never got to go to a game there unfortunately. Wish I'd asked my Dad to go there now but I was young. Fair play looks amazing glad to see footballs absolutely live over there !!!
I was at this game! You can see me in a couple of these shots, I was sitting behind the Red Terrace sign all game, first appearance at 8:37. Come on Ports!
This was vibrant and your title have illustrated how this derby would be in Northern Ireland,good friends!!!LONG LIVE NORTHERN IRISH FOOTBALL,GOOD FRIENDS!!!👍🏾
Glad you had a great day at our club Sam, I was further up with the quieter fans as I haven’t the energy to keep up with the young lads. Cheers for giving our we club some exposure and for your kind words. Come back soon 🔴⚪️🔴
Boxing day is always the best over here. Glens v Linfield, Coleraine v Ballymena, Cliftonville v Crusaders, Glenavon v Portadown . Usually all sell outs. The problem with Portadown is the away stand is so far off the pitch.
@@2010oblivion1 the away stand was built with a pitch move in mind, unfortunately it hasn’t materialised as quickly as they hoped but will happen at some stage
Hi Sam, Slightly off topic but...... Was there a reason that Hearts appeared to have limited the number of tickets available for Celtic fans for last night's SPL match? It would appear that Hearts did not sell out their own areas. Did the weather play a part in hundreds of Hearts fans not attending? Either way, would it not make sense to allocate an entire stand to the likes of Celtic? If the decision was made to limit the number of Celtic fans, surely that does not make economic sense? Money is hard to come by these days, so I don't see how limiting fan numbers makes sense; especially when you consider there is probably more Old Firm fans in Edinburgh, than there are Hearts and Hibs fans combined!!
Love your work as always Sam mate! Wish we had a club in NI free from any sort of religious bias or Old Firm alliances (pay no attention to Portadown but even their songbook is just mini-Rangers, and all the wee lads raging when they went 1-0 down to Dundee Utd in the middle of their own match?). If we had a club that identified with none of it then it might be tempting to support them!
@jdfiend going to Glasgow on Wednesday for the 3rd time this month but sure thanks for making sure I get out of the house for a bit mate 😂 Wasn't even meant to be a jab at anyone but people always find a way to be offended
The Caledonia song was obviously copied from Rangers & was adapted to fit in Portadown legends names etc. I think they started singing it a few weeks back. The other songs are probably copied from lots of other clubs, as that’s what fans do. Very rarely original songs appear on the terraces. They don’t sing any of Rangers ‘political’ songs & it would be a different thing if they did. To call Portadown a mini Rangers because of this a bit daft. It is NI after all & most people at every IL club will have political allegiance one way or the other, to varying degrees. It’s very rare you would attend an IL match without an Ulster flag/Union Jack or a tri colour for instance
This seemed a miles better atmosphere than the Belfast derby
It always is
The linfield glens match can be a bit spicy but since Glentoran stopped being a real force in the league it's become a bit meh really.

Great editing! Great videos! Great interviews! Great times! Great music!
Thanks so much Sam!
Too kind. Cheers mate!

This is fantastic mate, well done 🙌
Great video!
We might not be the biggest support...but we are the best!
The passion, the noise, Ports are the team to follow!
Love your channel. I watch all of your videos

It’s not a petrol station anymore, but I think the place you are talking about is where Sam parked before he went into Shamrock Pk
@@saunteronmanme and my little bro used to go buy our ice creams from there when our granddad gave us some pocket money 😢
@@saunteronmanMy dad lived in Tandragee at the time btw and worked at Tayto Castle !
Nice video, great atmos!
I was there when Cork City hammered portadown 7-1 in the setanta Cup. Only 14 of us traveled the 5 hours on a Tuesday night. Fun night
I was at this game! You can see me in a couple of these shots, I was sitting behind the Red Terrace sign all game, first appearance at 8:37. Come on Ports!
Great atmosphere
Saw the Irish footie blogs video and atmosphere was insane
This was vibrant and your title have illustrated how this derby would be in Northern Ireland,good friends!!!LONG LIVE NORTHERN IRISH FOOTBALL,GOOD FRIENDS!!!👍🏾
Cheers Depek, you're the best!!
Big man’s wrong when he says Portadown have won more trophies than Glenavon. Mid-Ulster’s most successful club 💙
You should do the South Wales Derby. Huge atmosphere
Glad you had a great day at our club Sam, I was further up with the quieter fans as I haven’t the energy to keep up with the young lads. Cheers for giving our we club some exposure and for your kind words. Come back soon 🔴⚪️🔴
Nothing bad with Douwe Egberts! Good old Frisian coffee! you should deffo go watch the Frisian Derby at some point!
the real highlight, was the two stewards taking a downer, after the game 🤣

Are you at Coleraine v Crusaders or was it your twin brother I saw on Sky in the 7th or 8th minute? 😂
Who let Sam on comms? He would be the next Chris Kamara, misses all the major events 😂

“So Sam we’ve had a sending off at Shamrock Park”
“Have we?”
“I thought he was just being subbed”
@ “Sorry, Jeff, I was off getting a filter coffee”
Smaller ground than The Oval so easier to fill.
Safer than the Oval, so it's easier to get in 😉
Dorty portydown
Wales?
Come pfc match lad
Ports vs Glenavon best derby in the league bel Classico overated as fuck ballymena vs coleraine a bigger game too
Did you meet the legend jamie bryson ? ✊🏻🇬🇧
Glenavon have a much better ground of the two.
Love your work as always Sam mate!

You'd still sit in your house ffs
Sounds like you're the bitter wee man

If you really want to see an atmosphere come back for Boxing Day match at MVP - this is nothing compared to that day 💙🤍
