TheCelt67 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Since we can't have nice things, maybe wise to offer the travelling supports as few tickets as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with this. Working on the assumption we get past the qualifier, this is the one tie I truly did not want. Leaving aside the fact Celtic will pump us, (the gate money would more than compensate for that), I just don't want all the sh1te that would go with it, with knuckledraggers crawling out of the woodwork on both sides to spout their bile. I'm gutted in fact. I had been hopinf for a nice peaceful away trip to somewhere I had never been, with the chance of some sun and cheap beer thrown in. At least it will be my cheapest ever "away" game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Even if it's on the 11th the Stranraer to Belfast ferry will be stupid crazy as Celtic fans mingle with Scottish Orangemen when they travel over for their annual walk and bonfires.

I reckon the Belfast leg will be moved. If not then I'll fly to Dublin and get the bus up. I'm off to sort out San Marino first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I can see a few headcases from the South travelling up to the North for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of an age where I retired any colours a long time ago, so I can go undercover quite easily I am really and truly gutted with this draw and what it might yet bring. That said, the other four potential draws we could have had aren't so hot either, although the Icelandic team are beatable and we have knocked them out previously. I quite fancied a trip to somewhere unusual, like Kosovo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be giving Belfast a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fancy Belfast I can deliver you into the hands of some Cliftonville supporting Celtic fans who can look after you, then arrange to meet after the game for beer, as long as you buy me a pint for every goal Celtic score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 So when dies it get played? 13th as the festivities start in the evening of the 11th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I would guess the 13th. Most OO members/followers will be hungover/walked out/partied out, while the Ardoyne rioters should have returned to mid-Ulster/wherever it is they travelled from to be offended, and we can get on with the game in peace. Here's hoping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I dunno if I'm being a big jessie but I might steer clear of my usual drinking haunt on the Gallowgate and just head for the Merchant City before this one.Ever since Ajax fans were battering innocent bystanders with metal poles always feel a wee bit apprehensive when they close the front shutters for European games.

They managed to keep Linfield and Cliftonville fans apart at the height of the troubles way back when, so this should pass off peacefully, (I hope). It would be the potential for trouble from pissed up fans before and afterwards that worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they bar Croatian and Serbian teams from drawing other and I'm sure they do similar jiggery pokery with other Balkan countries. I suppose they can't have a rule saying 'If Celtic are to be drawn against Cliftonville or Derry it's fine but if they get Linfield or Crusaders we'll redo the draw'. ETA - Just occurs to me that I don't think Derry are in the Northern Irish league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
