The Celtic Thread

Its confirmed, Linfield v Celtic will be on Friday 14th July, should Linfield get through to that stage

Would Friday night not be one of the absolute worst times to host a fixture like this?

Compared to the 11th or 12th, definitely not.

Their home games last season were plagued by security issues for away supporters outside the ground. Would you have advocated a ban on them hosting games?

You may not like it but it is true. I have absolutely no time for these Orange marches myself. But I still fail to see how they are the responsibility of Linfield FC, or should compromise the club's right/ability to stage this match (assuming they get the go ahead from PSNI, which they appear to have done). Smacks of classic "Themmuns are all the same" syndrome to me. P.S. Hope you're remembering to flush... Maybe flush your eyes out yourself there kid.. where did I say they were anything to do with Linfield... smacks of the classic "see one thing, read another"

Wah?

This is the Celtic thread on a football forum. Celtic could be playing Linfield in Belfast. People are discussing the suitability/security etc of Linfield to stage this game at Windsor.

In that context, you go off on one about Orange Marches etc, but now you're claiming that you meant no connection between your rant and the subject under discussion i.e. Linfield?

In the words of a great philosopher, "Don't piss down my neck and tell me it's raining..."

Terry in taking a thread off-topic and talking sh*te shocker, with another moron or two in tow.
