    Rangers fans in Belfast and surrounding areas have an opportunity to contribute to the Rangers fighting fund shortly as a friendly
    match between Linfield and Rangers takes place at the Irish Football Association sponsored Windsor Park. Windsor Park has long
    been known as the sectarian centre of Irish soccer. Linfield is in an unique position in so far as the Irish Football Association pays
    Linfield a large amount annually and modernises and looks after their "stadium". A massive 11,000 is expected for the clash of two
    Orange giants. Linfield fans prepared for the fighting fund match by attacking and breaking the windows of a large number of
    houses in the vicinity of Brandywell Derry last night after the blues lost to Derry City.
    Foreign Nationalists living near Windsor Park are advised to be vigilant around the time of this fighting fund match.

    Might take a trip over. Often wondered what life was like in the 17th century.

    Won't these 'two Orange giants' be pretty easy to spot?

    Never thought of the IFA angle Super.

    So, in effect, the IFA, a football association, are helping to fund a team, namely Rangers, from a different jurisdiction.

    Interesting.

    Would a FIFA registered FA such as the IFA legally be allowed to raise funds for a UEFA registered football club?

    We'll soon find out I suppose.

    At the last Blues brothers derby, Andrw Little's brother Graham who does the odd turn on sky sports news said it was like the 12th of July.......He's a good **** Graham Little, but that didn't do him any favours tbh.

    They have an annual friendly, usually around the twelfth of July, a love in bears feast. Fans mingle and sing all their old favourites in the wee
    six most bigoted den.
