A Champions Leaue game vs Bødo Glimt
A seeded Europa League 3rd Round game
A seeded Europa Conference League play off spot
That's the worst outcome we can have now that's how important that win tonight was 💙
Absolutely outstanding display pre game today from the Blue Unity lads, they've had their haters on occasions this season (myself included) but today they where absolutely brilliant
Well done lads 👏👏👏
Firstly the performance tonight was nothing short of embarrassing
Beaten by the FAR better team and its as simple as that
As for the fucking idiots throwing bottles just piss off and don't come back you're no benefit to the football club and disgrace yourselves on a weekly basis
If I've said it once I've said it 100 times
Northern Ireland would be so much better if they didn't snub their own league and actually give players a chance
Whys every news outlet in Northern Ireland just reporting that the Irish Cup Final is going to be some sort of sectarian day of pure violence?
Is it not possible that 2 big clubs with 2 big fan bases will enjoy their day out at a cup final watching there teams
Biggest piece of business Linfield can do in the summer is get Chris McKee to sign a new contract
The lads got all the quality and he plays for the shirt ⚽️💙
Kyle McClean was nothing short of phenomenal tonight the lad was absolutely everywhere and took his goal brilliantly
Delighted for Ethan McGee as well thought he was outstanding and announced himself in a blue shirt tonight
Fantastic night all round 💙
If Luke Littler takes anything away from this entire World Championship campaign, let it be this 90 second video
The boy has the world at his feet and the media have him posing with kebabs and sun newspapers
Leave the kid alone and as simple as Gary says it, let him play darts
😡 "Let the boy play darts. If it goes wrong, give yourselves a pat on the back."
🤔 "Look back at the past at the young darts players coming through & the media say this is the next best thing. Where are they now?"
📽️🍿 Gary Anderson on the media's treatment of Luke Littler
I find it laughable on here regarding the flares and pyro tonight, whenever Rangers and Celtic do it it's amazing and they're the best fans in the world but whenever Linfield do it it's embarrassing and should result in lifetime bans 😂🤷♂️
The quality of players and clubs in general in the Irish League have seen massive improvements in the last 4/5 years and it's so encouraging to see
But honestly the overall standard of the officials is really hampering the quality of the league
Ruining big games on a weekly basis
Still a tough Europa League 3rd round game
Still a Europa League/Conference League play off game
We all knew this result was coming if we are being realistic
Don't let tonight dampen the memory of last Tuesday you've done us proud boys 👏 💙
That Glentoran team that won the League, League Cup, County Antrim Shield and Irish Cup are really showing why sometimes it's best to just keep your mouth shut
Merry Christmas ⚽️💙
I'd personally say in all the years I've followed Linfield tonight's the most angry I've ever felt
You can lose games and that's acceptable however to be outworked, outplayed and simply outclassed by your biggest rivals is completely unacceptable
Game was over after 10 minutes
Should Finlayson have been sent off? Yes
Should Paddy McLean have been sent off? Yes
Did the glens keeper pick up a deliberate backpass? Yes
Poor decisions all round yesterday so I won't be having any arguments from glenmen that we only won because of Crangle 🥱🙉
Just reading the news today about Ross Larkin
Such good news to hear him talking about it all and well done Linfield for keeping it personal to him
Really hope we can see him back playing soon 💙
The nights sums up perfectly when the Glentoran crowd erupts for a slide tackle on Connor Pepper just for Connor to get up and smile to choruses of Connor hates the glenmen and the Glentoran player being stretchered off due to hurting himself 😂
I don't care what anyone says throw 3 or 4 irish league players who actually have a bit of club form and are playing 90 minutes week in week out and you'll be a far better team for it
Stop turning your nose up at the league who produces half of your players
£50 to go and watch a team that are already knocked out of qualifying 😂 should be giving the tickets away for free as an apology to how shite they've been
🎟 Tickets for our senior men's team's match against Denmark at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park are now on general sale 🙌 See you there,
#GAWA
💚
Let's get a big crowd down to Carrick on Sunday to cheer on the team
We need to be there to support them they are gonna need our help to lift them back up 💙
Absolutely blew crusaders away tonight in that first half, outstanding from us never looked in danger at all
Delighted for Fitzpatrick to get his first goal
Great night all round 💙
Honestly don't understand at all the problems with flares at football games as long as they aren't being used as a weapon and disposed of properly they create an atmosphere 🤷♂️
Well an announcement was made before the game saying stands are being recorded and police will be watching
OK then every wanker who threw a bottle should be banned from games
We should be annoyed about getting pumped 3-0 by our rivals but instead them wee pricks steal the show
The Police presence after the game tonight for Linfield was nothing short of a disgrace, biggest police presence I've seen at a game in a long long time
Blocking exits and almost trying to cause trouble themselves, treated like animals
@OfficialBlues
have a word
The pitch yesterday at Windsor Park was nothing short of embarrassing and it has been for a long time now the IFA only care for it whenever their wee Green and White Army have to play on it
Fuck The IFA and Fuck your national team hope they get hammered whoever they play
Last note to take from tonight's game, Kyle Lafferty please just fuck off now
Don't want to see him in another match day squad again
Was a shite PR signing thats worked exactly how most of us thought it would
No fight, no desire, no quality
Absolutely everyone involved tonight should be so proud of themselves from Chris Johns all the way through to Mcdaid we where disciplined and defended like our lives depended on it
No matter what happens out in Norway lads you've done us all proud 💙
Taking that stand behind the net away from us is a disgrace as that other stand isn't fully covered and leaves supporters open to the elements.
Due to this, the club have decided that we will stream this match live on Saturday for any like minded supporters. Everybody welcome
Gonna be so weird not seeing Jimmy and Niall not in a Linfield shirt next season 😪
2 players who gave their all every single week no matter the opposition
Legends of our club, they'll be missed 😔
Good luck lads 👏💙
Also btw we have literally sent out one of the most creative players in the league today on loan and replaced him with....
Absolutely nobody
Shocking recruitment which with linfield the last couple of years has been FAR too familiar
Great to see Callum Marshall, Ethan Galbraith, Dale Taylor, Trai Hume and Shayne Lavery in the latest NI squad but seriously how on earth is Paul Smyth not been included???
Still haven't seen any articles or comments from certain individuals over a few incidents in the Irish Cup Semi Finals
Glentoran fans lighting a flare and throwing objects at Cooper when he scored and a Cliftonville supporter lighting a flare
Rules for one and rules for another
Banned for creating an atmosphere its laughable, they can try and boost the game all they want but this is a huge step backwards
I don't want any club punished but if the past weeks I've seen larne fans light a flare and Cliftonville fans sing about the IRA? What's the difference
Great news to hear that Walsh is out of hospital and back home again
Last night result is irrelevant when someone so young and talented gets seriously injured
Can't wait to see him back on the pitch again 💙
Very professional job by Linfield regarding Robertson and Scott
Disappointed in the 2 lads individually, Robertson will return to the lower league in Scotland no doubt, however I think Scott will look back on this in years to come and regret it heavily
What happens after tonight is realistically the club gets a points deduction and or a stadium closure
Say the grounds closed against Carrick them wee arseholes don't care they only show up when we play the top 3 or 4 anyways

Linfield are delighted to announce that defender Euan East has signed a new contract with the club until the end of the 24/25 season 🔵⚪🔴

McGee subbed off even though he was playing very very well
Matty Clarke should've been nowhere near the pitch
Jamie Mulgrew should never have been playing
Matthew Fitzpatrick shouldn't even be starting games for Linfield swifts, the big lad is truly truly abysmal
What's the need to run over and do that to the opposition fans? If someone throws something at him or worse digs him there would be some outcry
Just go celebrate with your own supporters

No pointing the finger today at poor officiating or poor individual mistakes. Today the finger points directly at David Healy
100% to blame for today
Starting 11 was wrong
Shape was wrong
Substitutions where honestly embarrassing
Player of the year hands down when you consider the defence struggles and concers we had at the beginning of the season, been an absolute rock ever since he's arrived
Slap the contract down and let him write whatever he wants
🗣️ "I'm absolutely loving it (at Linfield). Loved it from the minute I got here, enjoying it, enjoying staying here and hopefully it continues to get better."

Have to say in my opinion Macron have absolutely nailed it with the designs of the 2 new kits this season
And actually having kits announced before games is a nice touch unlike last year playing in "temporary kits" during European games
That tonight is right up there with some of the best feelings I've had at a football game
The noise, the limbs, just everything about it was perfect
4 more to go 💙
Honest question here, will David Healy ever learn or just accept that sticking 3 central midfielders and completely isolating your striker in these big games doesn't work?
We always do it against Larne and funnily enough we always lose to Larne and Tuesday will be no different
So Shane Andrews with an awful red card decision after 30 minutes absolutely ruins the game as a contest
Then linesman at half time comes out tells bluemen behind the goal to "fuck up" and "fuck off"
Maguire intentionally wrecks Walsh with a disgusting tackle
Officials ruining it
Main take aways from today
Charlie Allen very good until Healy fucked him out on the left wing
Scott Whiteside is shocking
The squad depth we have was proven ten fold today at how far behind we are
Big big big changes needed at Linfield very soon, players and board members need an absolute clearing
Pathetic having the club AGM the evening before a cup final, they knew rightly they could get away with whatever happens today by simply avoiding it. Gutless and shameless
Fair play to Healy on calling out the IFA for what they are, they can't run their own league properly nevermind an international football team
The opportunity to invest in the international team was staring them in the face in 2015/16 when we qualifed for the euros but nope 👍
Deserved absolutely nothing from that today, congratulations to Cliftonville 👏
Today's the prime example of why David Healy is still at Linfield and hasn't moved on to so called "bigger" things
Tactically inept
Substitutions laughable
Biggest day of the year for local football and they want to get rid of it 🤷♂️ no way will it have the crowds that boxing day brings with people being off work for the holidays or being back home again seeing families
Very bad idea
Have to say the buildup for the League Cup Final has been brilliant so far
Between the ticket prices and the advertising hopefully it's going to help make a great spectacle for the local game 👏
The second he agreed to go go Raith he should've been as far out the door as possible
You can win all them league titles when you walked into a team who had the leagues best players but as soon as them players moved on look at what's been brought in to replace them
Pathetic
