Funny how the post doesn’t mention any of the other awful events before the Greysteel murders.
Also, the football context of this game is really worth looking at as it explains a lot about the game away from any political nonsense. It wasn’t politics that motivated players.
The notorious Ireland🇬🇧 v Southern Ireland🇮🇪 match at Windsor Park Belfast not long after the Greysteel 'Trick or Treat' Massacre. World Cup 1994 qualifier Belfast UK.

Linfield fans being so triggered by a man who is Irish League royalty and would be treated as such across the country is a huge sign of how far the mighty have fallen.

Saw him play as a kid for Manchester United against a Northern Ireland team as a SuperCupNI curtain raiser. Stood out like a sore thumb. An example of how attitude needs to match ability if you’re going to really make it.
“I was immature and stupid. I look back now and think what an idiot I was.”
Brandon Williams played 51 times for Manchester United and at one point appeared to have become their first-choice left-back.
Now, though, he is battling to rebuild his football career and his reputation - last year he was given a 14-month suspended prison sentence for dangerous driving after causing a crash while speeding at 99mph.
In this interview, he discusses that incident, his use of laughing gas, how his Manchester United dream slipped away and his hope that other young players might learn from his mistakes.

Seven years ago today, @VincentKompany scored THIS goal on his final Etihad Stadium appearance to move #ManCity to within just one win of a second consecutive Premier League title under Pep Guardiola. 🤯

Unconfirmed reports coming to me that Mickey Collins is preparing appeals against every red card he received for head butting. Should have hearings completed by 2030 - that’s the year not the time.
