Surely swapping the legs is less hassle for fans then making people get there for lunchtime on a working day? The arseholes shouldn't be able to spoil it for the number of fans who might be very excited about playing against a far bigger side than they're used to and may be unable to attend a lunchtime game. Apologies, I thought you were referring to travelling fans. I'd rather a bit of awkwardness than trouble, but you are right, it is a shame that arseholes on both sides have the potential to spoil things.

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I said that you had nothing worth responding to, that point still stands, although I probably shouldn't be biting. You are so like a certain banned Hibs fan that used to post similar sh1te about games that have nothing to do with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysus. Oh dear. Most posters can see what you were trying to do. Referencing the drinking as being done solely by Linfield fans, as if Shellick fans have never had to the odd tipple. Bonfires do not equate to Linfield fans solely either. Nice try at demonization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says much, much more about the company that you keep than it does about any Linfield fans. Another nice try. If I was feeling particularly petty I could demonstrate numerous Celtic links to the IRA, but I have had too many PMs from Celtic fans today who are way above that petty level of argument, and who have expressed the wish that it all passes off without trouble, that I don't want to traduce it to the level of the petty bigot.

OK, the police will be entirely happy with all-day drinking likely being combined with street parties, effigy burning and 40 foot bonfires. I think someone is a little bit annoyed at being called out for reposting some drivel about how Celtic will cause most of the problems but the poor wee Linfield fans will be getting the blame.

Greenlantern Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Sadly, alcohol won't be the motivating factor for trouble in this tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'd presume the vast majority of Celtic fans who will be keen to go will be into rebs, fighting and might know Belfast or people in Belfast quite well. I really wouldn't relish the prospect of an away game in an unfamiliar city where later that day effigies of Celtic fans and tricolours with KAT slogans are being burned, even if there is a good chance you'll be able to do some decent gloating during the match. I suppose the fact most Celtic travelling supporters will know the city may mean it won't be terribly different from the average 11 July other than a few more people joining the republican knuckledraggers. Tend to think the bother at the actual game will probably not be much (if any) worse than the Blackburn game from 2002, for example. I also reckon I'll probably be less at risk of physical violence at the home leg than the last couple of times Ajax visited. Hope I'm wrong though and our visit destablises the coalition government and paves the way for Jeremy Corbyn to turn Britain into a terrorist paradise.

gannonball Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 A recipe for disaster this at any time of year but even worse given its around bigotfest. A lot of Celtic fans w*nking over this tie but not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The sensible thing would be to play the first game at CP but the hybrid pitch currently being laid may not be ready in time. PSNI are already reported to be requesting this if possible. We were looking at running a bus to the friendly at Shamrock Rovers on 8th July but decided against it due to the ferries being full of **** going over for sash bashes, this will still be the case the days before and after this fixture, even flights will present a powderkeg situation, no easy solution other than switching the ties or Celtic declining tickets or only giving the few hundred we get to the many supporters we have who live over there.
