as for the violence in Windsor, it was conducted by a small minority of “fans” aided by a small number of cliftonville “fans”. i would like to apologise to linfield and the psni on the actions of this group of plastic provos.

i would be interested in hearing what linfield fans and other northern clubs think about an all ireland league. atmospheres would be great with larger turnouts. niether league can realistically hope to become any more competitive by their own. thougtts?

Just an Ultras group that do Tifo and displays at games.

And chants like Fuck Off Linfield, It’s Time To Go Home might not be the done thing in the pub but it’s part and parcel of live football.

Some decent goals and no serious trouble. Some scuffles amongst Bluesmen but no all out riot and no damage to property. Both sides are “guilty” of provocative chants but all in good spirits!

I think this situation has dramatically improved since they met in the 84 European cup. I’m Linfield true and true and was impressed with Shamrock as a club. Their fine stadium, pitch, support and the welcome I received by some of their club members and earlier in the shop when they couldn’t do enough for me. Was quite taken back by their hospitality. Of course their “ultras” are a different story but every big club has this. Its called football culture!!!

Interesting to note that since the game some quarters of the media and political circles are looking for an investigation into Linfield fans behaviour? Catch yourself on!!!

The host club shamrock are not looking for an investigation and their fans have been quite sound on the matter. Some twit journos and a mickey mouse sinn fein man are behind this! Stay out of football and leave it to us the fans!

2nd leg: Blues 3 shamrock 0!!!
