I was cautioned yesterday on my assumption that Linfield would be fodder for the Celtic machine next month. The words, “You mean they’re no Lincoln Red Imps?” was the retort. Red Imps occupy a minor detail in the story of last season; a curiosity at the beginning of the Brendan Rodgers regime, bound to become a quiz question of the future.
Linfield will reach the second qualifying round of the Champions League and will be despatched by Celtic, but the jeopardy of a reversal in Belfast is a real possibility. While none of us begrudge Red Imps their moment of glory, the prospect of waiting a week to put right an indifferent early season performance would cause consternation.
Be ready for it, Celtic. Your opponents will be.

Gooood Morning CQN
Reading that we are talking to some NI team ?
I’m confused, why ?
Have they qualified to play us ?
I thought they still had to win through
Leave it to them, if they qualify, to explain the bigots they are to UEFA, and difficulties they have in playing the champions of Scotland on specific dates
Right who are we signing today:-)
Hail Hail
Morning Celts

Welcome to CQN, are you a hun?:)

Wonder if they will have a wee competition over there to see if the person wi the most pallets can build the bigotist one.
ie….fire
Personally I couldent give a tinkers f… what King or anyone from the police services in NI say, if they Linfield go through to the next round of the tournament then the draw was they play the first game at they’r home park of they’r choice , not Celtic Park there is no way the games will be changed, as I said yesterday, if Linfield have a problem with lunatic fans that’s they’r problem they have to deal with that.
King? No one from the media asks him questions on what the deal is, so why should we bother, it will all come out sooner rather than later, I don’t give a f… about they’r strips or who pulls them over their heads, once again they’r taking billy big Bawz, fine, bring it on, shower of bead rattling candle burners .
