The media blow all this crap up out of all proportion when in reality the amount of bother would be minimal and easily contained. I totally agree but........I think the number of stupid fines we've had for fan behaviour over the last few years has played a part. The club don't want to risk something worse and this definitely has potential. The away day bevvy squad will just have to get over it!

The game is being played at Windsor park. Where you seeing that we were to get 25% of the stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 As said earlier, if they can't fulfil the fixture on the allocated days, ten they shouldn't be in the competition. I thought UEFA didn't take politics into account? Terrible decision to move the game at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away fans usually get North Stand. North Stand holds approx 7k but Celtic would probably only be allocated the top tier due to segregation issues. Maybe changed now since the redevelopment but was always the easiest to keep supporters apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether Celtic take tickets or not is irrelevant. 7 hours ago, Mox said: They did arrange the game within the allowed dates. The Festival of Staunch as you call it is not organised by the club. So why should they be punished? Just accept the facts and move on instead of this pile of pish you keep posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, suppose it's not as such, bit of a difficult one to describe exactly how it is, the rest of my point still stands however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original proposal from Linfield was for a 5pm kick off on the 11th July at Windsor park. Celtic fans to be housed in the North stand. I didn't realise it held 7k but our allocation was definitely going to be 4500. Then it seems Celtic, PSNI et al took a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's randomly stuck Dandy in this reply and I can't get rid of it! Linfield are not the ones changing the date. UEFA are. It's probably not even Linfield fans that would cause trouble either. More the troglodyte marchers who'll be kicking about. It's not Linfield that are the problem, it's the culture of our stupid country. 13 hours ago, dandydunn said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's feckin mental is what it is. All the things humans have done and folk hate each other because they belong to a different "tribe". Just shows how short a journey it is back to animal roots. ?

wellyman Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 While papers like the DR keep bringing up stories like this [true or false] it will help fuel the loyalists bonfires and keep them in the news. Ignore them and in time they will fade away , good reply from Linfield and good luck to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played Dundalk (who had John Hewitt as their manager) and Shelbourne (where there was a spot of bother at the game) in 96, but bar a couple of games in Dublin under Calderwood, we have not played anywhere else in Ireland and I have no memory of us playing Belfast (do not even think we have played in Northern Ireland).

McInnes has definitely done a pre-season or two in Ireland but I doubt Joe Miller would have been playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AFC Historical page has no record of us playing in Northern Ireland and they said on Twitter this morning they have no record of us playing in Belfast during Millers time?
