WORLD'S MOST SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL TEAM vs... ST MIRREN! (Linfield FC, Windsor Park, Belfast) 

Thanks Geoff, yeah I can't thank Linfield enough for giving me the access they did. Looked after me so well!

@@FootyAdventures are you going to any of the champions league qualifiers as i think you should either go to shamrock rovers on linfield

Yes...and I think because Sam is just a really nice guy people enjoy talking to him, I'd love him to visit the Balkans as he is so understanding of complicated situations like ours. See many go to Red Star now but Sam would visit smaller teams

@Rangers News Channel can your local team play in European games. And linfield went full time last season. 😂😂 And a few more teams have went full time.

1:28 look at Cooper I am in the blue jumper

Probably still do better in Europe than yous

Just glad Linfield didn’t win. 🇮🇪

@@ScottishRU-vidr too right! 🍀

Typical of a lot a Celtic ahem "supporters". Hate others more than you love your own.

@@ScottishRU-vidr why the Ivory Coast flag?

Thanks mate and I loved it! Can't wait to come back

Thanks very much! I still have loads more to upload from my Irish odyssey :D

Amazing thank you so much Alex. I really appreciate that!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I'll definitely be back for a competitive game soon!

@Michael Keegan dry your eyes

@Michael Keegan Yup...Linfield are equally as vomit inducing as their Scottish cousins

For a small stadium, that is a well designed and beautiful stadium.

Hey Brendan, thanks for watching mate. I'm definitely aware of Belfast Celtic - what a sad story it is. They're definitely on my "to-do list" when I'm next back over. Sadly didn't have time to fit that in this time around but it's definitely on the agenda next time!! Cheers

🔔 end.

That's a bit disrespectful to Scottish football. Scottish football is ranked 11th in the co-efficient, Northern Ireland 30th.

@@Support-your-local-team Being that I support Motherwell mate I’m not disrespecting the league at all, also Scotland thanks to what only Rangers has done in the last 3 years is 9th. Compare the budget to winning the league 1st in Scotland took home £3mill and N Ireland is probably waaaaaay less. Also getting relegated from all top 5 leagues get more than winning in Scotland.

​@@adamscott1738 The old firm always make up the bulk of the coefficient points but actually the other teams have had an improvement in results too which have contributed. Nothing too remarkable but still some respectable results for the 3rd/4th/5th European sides in a small country. 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. I know the reasons why N.I football is at a disadvantage and I agree with you, all I meant is I don't think their football is that much like ours.

He'll probably be at the champions league qualifier game

🔥💯🤛🙏

its a dig at rangers as they claim they're the most successful team in the world, when they don't even have a CL

Celtic had money issues and also the board was at war with each other, stop spouting the myth...

@@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.

Belfast Celtic, Glasgow Celtic, Rangers, Linfield... bore off.. sure let's have a Sporting Lisburn, Real Maghaberry, FC Portodown... no respect for any club that doesn't have its own identity... cliftonville too

@@robertanderson2552 I agree with this 100%, the Irish League definitely doesn't have enough clubs that have their own identity separate from the political leanings that dominate both Northern Irish and Scottish football, which is why they all turn out to be "mini-Celtic" or "mini-Rangers". Definitely something we need in the league.

@@antonsharkey5258 but yet they played Linfield two more times after that incident, the club was at war with itself.

Windsor is only a 18,500, they could have made in 30,000 but it would have been more cramped and it only ever sells out for Northern Ireland games which are impossible to get tickets for now.

What a nice guy to stop for a quick chat. Buzzing I was able to interview such a legend!

Please 🙏

He'd love the understand

Which one? 😂

@@DadThatCooks linfield vs Glentoran obviously

Got a video coming out tomorrow where I visit every ground in the NI Premiership 👌🏽😄

What

How??

Yawn.....no one fn cares...Rangers are rangers...I say that as a dundee united old school supporter..grow up! If rangers are notcrangrs why do you bother what they are up to. Muppetvof the highest order!

No

Yes last season was the first time going full time

Glentoran and Larne were the 1st professional teams in the league, took linfield a year or 2 to catch up and go professional

Crusaders, Linfield, Larne, Glentoran all professional now, and some of the other Irish Premier league teams have certain players on full time contracts.

Not all rangers fans are Linfield fans. 🤦🤣

@@jonnybaxter7234 and quite a few Linfield fans arent interested in Scottish football.

They’ll not get into Europe you kidding.

@@ScottishRU-vidr Conference league they might with a bit of luck.

They are in Europe every season

@@albertmccready478 except this year lol

@@manicmonday2468 👈some idiots would be better off doing some research

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.

@@bloodboughtbigphilr8266 did he ask

Naw yer no

@@stuartmiller8868 yer sisters calling
