I heard that Alan (Kelbie) Service, formerly assistant manager at Connor Rangers, is in the running for the Glebe job i can see the headlines in the Ballymoney Daily Post already... 'Normal Service Resumed at Glebe' or if liam beckett got it... 'Liam Beck At Riada Centre' |

they have some lovely fans too..especially the young donors...classy is the word which springs to mind...if you think a weekend at the NorthWest200 handing out faces for f*gs is classy?

I mind when we played against Glebe in the good old days when mighty Demense were in the Intermediate league, after we had been beat our usual 6 or 7 nil, it was a scorching day, so a few of the Glebe lads took their tops off walking off pitch when we were shaking hands and I swear to f**k at least 4 of them had UDA tattoo's on their chest. I thought it was a wee bit reilly. I thought they were maybe American exchange students who had went to a dyslexic tattoo artist, but I soon found out they werent from the USA. A Ballymoney player told me Coagh Utd have the same policy. the welders have this policy aswel. |

The whole Linfield/catholics scenario is balls.
I'm led to believe that Glebe Reserves play catholics, so it would be strange for their resreves to adopt that approach and the 1st team to be different. However, I don't know the facts on this one.

Harty i was always under the impression this was the way at the blues 80's and before obviously big DJ has changed all that and fair play to him. It might of changed recently but i do know an old manager left because of this rule at glebe. |

Well surely if you are going to make silly accusations you would at least back it up with facts? Contrary to what some would have you believe there was no such policy. Its also not as easy to throw players names up as I have no idea what the religious make up of the current squad is never mind those from years gone by. Its not something Linfield fans are interested in despite what some bigots would have you believe. heres a wee article on the subject regarding the issue where the former chairman has his say. Clearly stating that LInfield had catholic players as far back as the 40s and 50s. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/2231074.stmWhat you will never hear reported though is the abuse some Catholic Linfield players took from within their own community simply because they played for Linfield. This was the biggest obstacle Linfield faced when trying to convince catholics to sign.# But dont let the facts get in the way of a good story. and yes you got a bite |

WHo would be more relieable than the Linfield Chairman? Surely if such a policy existed he would be 'in the know' and if it did why whould they hide it what would they stand to gain? What boys ripped there season tickets? Fenlon and the gormans (tony and Dessie) were Linfield idols and many more before them I am sure. WIdely reported where ? It shouldn be too hard too find? Fenlon and gorman played for the blues before any of this equal oppertunities malark existed lol Rat my friend you are talking rubbish I would quit while your behind unless you have some evidence to back it up |

Jeff, i am inclined to agree with ratman here, i was under the impression and also thought it was widely known that linfield never signed catholics for alot of years,your list of names up above didnt help your argument either!!! and judging by the way the linfield chairman only mention the 40s and 50s, i would imagine that in the 60s, 70, and majority of the 80's they didnt have a single one playing for them, and for that matter, they probably only had the one playing for them from dec 49, to jan 50 aswell, therefore making his statement correct i have no idea if any of this is true, i can only go by what i heard. I also know very little about linfield until recent years, and i have to say what big DJ has done for the club and the image of the cub in the past 10-15 years is superb, bringing it out from the bigotry past into the current respected club it is europe wide (roy keane excluded of course ha ha) |
