Siam69 26,925 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 How things have changed. 10,000 attended this match in 1915 in which a sum of £200 was raised with Linfield/celtic winning the match 4-2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Think this might have been a Linfield / Belfast celtic select and not the scottish version . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spliffy 643 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Surely that will be the long defunct Belfast celtic, considering the "rest of the league" part? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 82,220 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Linfield put that club out of business entirely when their fans decided to run on the field and kick lumps out of the Belfast celtic players. Fucking hilarious that in a cup game between the sides that both teams scored 4 goals once and every single one of Celtics goals were disallowed Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners of the camp were Jewish and the 70 odd year old patriarch told me that he was picked for the US water polo team for the '36 Berlin Olympics. However, his surname was obviously Jewish and the US Olympic board asked him to adopt a different name. He obviously refused and missed his chance to take part in the Olympics. Getting back to your point, I've been told that Windsor Park the first ground where fences were erected as a direct consequence of this incident.

spion kop 233 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Definitely Belfast celtic, they left the league after the Jimmy Jones incident, crusader's got their place. However they had threatened to leave on three occasions before that, shots were fired when the played the glens and trouble had broken out, trouble also flared when they played cliftonville as well with them threatening to leave after each time.
