  • This article is a former Featured Article Candidate that failed (see archive). I think the article is good, but needs to be improved to reach the required standard for FA class and re-submitted. It is of high importance to the Belfast project as it is one of the 'Big Two' football teams in the Irish League. --Mal 04:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Former FA This article is a former featured article candidate. Please view its sub-page to see why the nomination failed. For older candidates, please check the archive.

If you do a simple search on Glasgow Rangers FC, we are told that they are the world's most successful football club, and that they are the first club to reach the milestone of 200 trophies. I would in fact, beg to differ. Linfield FC are the first club to break both barries, and as such are the world's most successful rather than Rangers. Regardless of the trophies won, or the league both teams play in - Linfield are more successful. You could argue if you take the approach of standard, that rangers are certain at least a trophy a season, as it always has been with either Celtic or themselves dominating. Also, if Linfield's trophy haul is overlooked in this matter, then why does it mention us as tie holders in the "domestic double" record with (as it happens) Rangers?

[edit] Organisation

Can I suggest tha the article be re-organised a little bit?

How about a history section, fully detailing Linfield's past and incorporating the euro games as a subsection. Then have another section on Linfield's more rectn fortunes?

I see this had been done already, but someone had vandalised it.


I think the main Linfield article needs to be shortened down somewhat with most of the information befeed out to other Linfield FC pages.

[edit] Jackie Milburn

There's some information missing on the Jackie Milburn page, in particular how many games he played for Linfield and the exact number of goals he scored. If anyone has the info to hand it'd be great if you could add it. Thanks --Daduzi talk 03:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Linfield

Be fair! If you're going to record an attack on Linfield supporters by Nationalists, you should also mention the strong anti-Catholic element associated with Linfield - can't have one without the other! Better still, simply remove the comment, because it has nothing to do with football.


i have redone the sectarianism section to include a more modern true blues section, that will hopefully be more palletable to onlookers

[edit] Biggest club in Ireland?

Is the statement that Linfield are Ireland's biggest supported club not a tad subjective? Is there imperical evidence to suggest this?

I think they work out as the biggest on numbers through the turnstyles, The data for RoI is here [[1]], but unfortunetly the irish FA dont publish their stats. I would guess on that basis, it fails WP:VERIFY criteria for inclusion! 86.12.249.63 21:31, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm Irish living in the US and it seems that all the Irish over here are celtic fans. Estimate that a larger percentage of fans in Ireland would support an non-Irish team like Celtic or Man Utd.


Hello unnamed user

I'm looking to reword that section so as its not upseting to some people, because its been vandalised alot.--Ifcp1 03:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
