Glentoran Subs not used: J Magee, J Hughes. Report Saturday's Big Two Derby finished in a disappointing 0-0 draw as both sides finished the game with 10 men at Windsor Park. David Jeffrey's changed side will rue a couple of glorious missed chances that would have seen them grab all 3 points against a lacklustre Glentoran side. David Jeffrey made 4 changes from the side that fell to Crusaders last Saturday with Peter Thompson, Matthew Clarke, James Knowles and Jim Ervin dropping to the bench and Kyle McVey, Niall Quinn, Matthew Tipton and Mark McAllister coming in as replacements.
Linfield had the first meaningful effort on goal after 14 minutes. Michael Gault was hauled down 25 yards from goal and Michael Carvill struck a right footed free kick just over the top left hand corner of Elliott Morris's goal with the Glentoran keeper at full stretch. Glentoran had an excellent opportunity to seize an advantage on 27 minutes. Stephen McAlorum stole possession and with Linfield short in numbers at the back, he squared the ball to Jim O'Hanlon who, from the edge of the box, stroked his shot straight into the arms of Johnny Tuffey.

The two officials seemed to be the only people in Windsor Park who didn't see a corner kick. Kyle McVey struck the post on 67 minutes following a great corner kick from Niall Quinn. He came storming in at the back post and his instinctive shot was eventually hacked away by the Glens defence. Linfield were certainly not playing like the team down to 10 men.
