Celtic will face either Linfield from Belfast or La Fiorita from San Marino in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. The Irish club will be overwhelming favourites to face the Scottish champions.
Preliminary dates for the first leg would see Celtic away from home on the 11 or 12 July, which would present unique security issues for authorities, should we be in Belfast on either evening.
The first qualifying rounds take place on 27/28 June and 4/5 July.
Not the potential draw anyone wanted, and the last ingredient Belfast needs that week.

If Linfield, I will be unsurprised if the fixture is ” mutually consented” reversed .
A “Bash the Sash””game.
8:21 TGM
This draw is fixed. ;))
What is happening?

No chance.
BD got bombed and no movement from UEFA.
The Ferry across the water should be a hoot if its Belfast.

Id imagine so.
We cant be going into that on the 12th July.
Not wise.
HH
Oh No.

Huns be raging when we hump their wee scabby bigot team.
But….thats life:)

Maybe the list of DUP demands will include a Linfield victory .
La Fiorita come from a town called Montegiardino .Population @1K . Juve’s under 19 team beat them 16 -0 in a pre season friendly in 2015.
If that mob get through their first playoff, I would assume the would have to be switched to away on the 12th.
The Police will be having nightmares right about now, trying to police their annual Bigotfest, and keep visiting fans safe
Playing the Ulster huns, in Belfast, at Bigotdome 2, on July 12th.
What could possibly go wrong?

Linfield tie can’t really be switched.
Sevco apparently have a Belfast sash bash the following midweek.
Devil and deep blue sea.

The Celtic Support are so looking forward to seeing Celtic and Nothing will stop Celtic supporters Supporting Celtic. The hatred is so strong though in that mob.
Worst draw ever.
Wont be moved to 11th either, as that’s the start of Bigotfest with their bonfires.
The home and away legs have to be reversed
Condolences on the loss of family to Angelgabriel and Gene.
On the plus side, short travel and high expectations to progress. Unfortunately the bigots will have an extra opportunity to trash our toilets and we will be subjected to provocations away.
IS the 11th bonfire night when the burn awe they wee statues , or am i wrong again???
I need a ticket for that game on 12th July.
Should be fun:)
HH
Oh joy, playing bigots at their most bigoty time of year.
Play the match behind closed doors…
The proddy clubs support will be to busy building bonfires.
And as i say every year i hope none of them trip over and fall in them.
Nightmare of a fixture. Boo. Booo. Booo
If Linfield cannot guarantee the safety of the away support for the first leg, they should be compelled to move the tie to a neutral venue. IMHO.

They will get annihilated. And they won’t be happy when we put 10+ past them… and we will. They pick on people on their own. Stick together Celtic fans that go.
S.P. La Fiorita was formed in 1967…
Petec
I will be going if i can.
They can do what they like.
Wont stop me.
FK them.
HH
La Fiorita were founded in 1967. Omen?
Home ground is Stadio Igor Crescentini.
It looks eh….???

I really hope it is a sign.
Bring it on! Another skelping of huns from us and if there is trouble, it won’t be caused by Celtic fans.
11th or 12th, who cares…spoil the bigotfest…eat their sashes.
5 v 1 .for Celtic would be a nice we start.
Also bring back nightmares for the hun support.

Dude, I’ll be honest I’m all over the place right now. I’d be the first to go there given my current state. It isnae right though.
I’m so concerned about Just Celtic supporters.
Absolutely horrific draw.
David Healy is Linfield manager???
More joy…

>Get there, get the job done.
End of story.
The bhoys can look after themselves
Next.

Access to Windsor isn’t a problem to be honest they will take Celtic fans down Boucher Road from either Andytown or the Falls road, Cliftonville fans have been doing it for years. Problem will be keeping fans safe in the city centre.
TGM.
I can’t fight anymore. That is the New Testament for you.
