A_A wehatethehibs Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Apologies if it's been discussed already... Thoughts on Celtic fans not being allowed into the match at Windsor Park (should Linfield qualify vs pub team)? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40387363 It's only a football match... Surely the fans should be allowed to attend as per normal? Can see a boat load of Celtic fans going over and causing even more bother, due to anger about not being allowed to buy tickets and have their own section to support their team in a match which is of paramount importance to their season. Would not surprise me to see the green brigade try to arrange some kind of mass protest over this... With all the talk of Good Friday Agreements being broken due to Tory shitebags deals with the DUP, could a rammy at Linfield vs Celtic kick off street fighting in Belfast again or is that a bit over the top? I've not got much of a clue about NI politics right now but things definitely seem tense. All i can say is football wise I don't think it's right to try to shut out Celtics fans at Windsor Park, if Linfield are going to be allowed a travelling support at Celtic Park. The Police must be shiteing themselves about it that's for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobar PHM Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It's probably the right decision tbh. It is. Celtic FC are well aware that their fans cannot be trusted to exercise any kind of restraint during this, to be fair, tinderbox fixture. There isn't another club in Europe who's fans could not have attended this game and have it conclude without trouble. Just Celtic. Only them. No doubt later in the competition Celtic will be fined for the 8th year running in connection with the conduct of their fans in some other unfortunate city in Europe.

c41rns Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It's not just that Celtic would be playing in NI but the date is obviously significant too. There's boat loads of orange orders heading over the same weekend. Would be carnage. Definitely the correct decision here.

SectionG Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 This is ridiculous, do Linfield not have a tie to play first before this is even possible. And if it does happen, how can they change the date of the game, yet nobody can broadcast a game on a Champions League night. If they can't be trusted to play a game on a certain night at a certain venue, they should be kicked out of the competition. And I mean any club that cannot fulfill its fixtures on the correct days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ93 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It says a lot when Celtic won't even let their own fans attend a game... although, having said that, they may not be allowing them for their own safety (as well as knowing that many of them will cause trouble too).

HeartOfWestLothian Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 It makes sense, a bunch of Celtic fans going over there around marching season?

Kiwidoug Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm bitterly disappointed. Leave them all to it. The mayhem may have resulted in Celtic being banned from Europe for decades.

Bull's-eye Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Had Celtic disassociated itself from sectarianism a long time ago and behaved like a normal football club these issues would never be a problem.

The thumb has been under a rock for 30 years. You know what? I get really fed up with players and managers just thinking they can comment on our club without any challenge. He should be asked to explain his comments, and told to shut his deformed puss as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowmans_Boot Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Shows nothing but ignorance with comments like that. There's a massive difference between what he'll receive at Tynecastle and the atmosphere in Belfast. And if he's so offended by what happens when he comes to Tynie, then why is he always lapping it up with his "thumbs up" gestures etc. He has said before that he likes playing here. Just anything for a dig at Hearts it seems. I think he was joking when he said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
