As a Cliftonville fan, I remember back in 1990 or 1991 a grenade was thrown at us ( spion kop away end ) at the old Windsor park ground during a match against Linfield, it exploded and a wee mini-riot broke out from a section of the crowd at the top of the terrace. After the scuffles & a bit of a baton charge by the police, it had all quietened down around 15/20 minutes before the focus was then turned back to the football on the pitch. The funny thing is that the match itself never stopped and continued on as if this was a normal crazy part of life lol.

Another great video. Enjoy all the facts and the history that you provide and looking forward to more for next season.

Sam you are the best. Thanks for the linfield fc vid.

Congratulations, you always produce well researched videos.

Clubs from lower ranked countries are always disadvantaged by the amount of qualifiers and the seedings but now that Scotland has moved up and the third placed team has European football guaranteed until Christmas it's a good opportunity.

@@revsin1886 A quick Google search confirms what I and everyone already knows - it's true and that's exactly what happened. Boxing Day 1948, Celtic already champions of the Irish League visiting their great rivals. A few red cards for either side and a rough (albeit innocent) Jimmy Jones tackle on Bob Bryson added fuel to the fire. Then when Celtic equalised late on in the game, it happened. Uniformed RIC officers (who, as a police force are supposed to be neutral but as we all know, they weren't) threw their caps in the air at every Linfield goal, and allowed the invasion to take place. Jimmy Jones had his right leg completely smashed to pieces by Loyalist Linfield fans before one of his good mates had to throw himself 10ft down the stands on top of him to shield him. Jones had a promising career absolutely ruined by their mob. No suitable action was taken by the IFA or the RIC (of course it wasn't) and this appalled the Belfast Celtic board to it's core, so badly that a year later - after selling off all their key players - headed off on a farewell tour of North America and tendered their resignation to the IFA. Now I'm a Celtic fan so anything I would have added to that myself would be construed as bias, so I've left everything I've written almost word-for-word (again, a quick Google verifies everything I said - an article by the BBC is where this info has come from - the irony in that alone) So stop trying to defend the actions of this abhorrent club and it's fans - the memory of Belfast Celtic deserves better than to have people like you lie about what caused their downfall. It had nothing to do with financial woes - they were entirely let down by the unequivocally biased pro-Unionist authorities that were supposed to protect them.

Linfield our brothers in arms 🔵💙🔵💙

One important caveat re Linfield's success is that the next most successful club, Belfast Celtic, were driven out of the league after their players were attacked(and one almost killed) in 1948 during a match with Linfield. At the time Linfield were 18-14 ahead in league titles but Celtic were the reigning champions. Celtic are still 3rd in the roll of honour. The same thing happened to Derry City in the 1960s. England manager Ron Greenwood had played for Belfast Celtic.

@bloodboughtbigphilr8266

2 жыл бұрын

Derry had their sporadic shots at success as an Irish League club but were never the serious challengers to Linfield that Celtic proved in their relatively short span. If Celtic had lived on, the Blues subsequent trophy haul would have been reduced significantly. Indeed, like the Glasgow Old Firm, these 2 would have dominated the game in the North with honours shared pretty evenly.
