That game was 35 years ago. 1984. As pointed out there's been plenty of games between them and clubs from Northern Ireland with no bother.Post of the thread. All the posturers on here take note.

We want to sing the sash at the rebel lolA draw against Cork City would be a nightmare it would attract nutters from both sides. Dont say we have,nt got them, because we have, people who put Irish politics before the good name of Rangers.
Sorry if I was Rangers I would refuse tickets.
There is far too much at stake for the club.
Naw but remember this guy’s the expert. We don’t have a clue.You are aware teams from NI like glentoran from east Belfast have been down to play cork and they passed off without trouble.now if we had drawn a Dundalk or shamrock rovers that would be a different ball game altogether.
The gardai did not raise concerns about the rangers support they had intelligence that the local yahoos and republicans were planning trouble and i was told by a work colleague that a local demented and bigoted yahoo was planning to hold an anti-rangers march on the day of the game and that was the final straw for the fai and the guardsShelbourne away was getting played at Tolka Park in 1998 until a week before it meant to
We had an allocation of around 4000-5000 from memory
However both the Gardai and FAI raised concerns over security issues and it was agreed to move the game outside the Republic

We will do extremely well to get past the 3rd round given the possible opponents.
My own memory is the marchers protesting at Portadown was also used as some kind of issue.
My hope is that a stink is kicked up and the match is moved to Merseyside
Cork could make a fortune off a massive bears attendance (somewhere safe)
Does anyone know when the dates are going to be confirmed for Q1? Are we likely to hear in the coming days or will we need to wait till the prelim tie has been decided?
Yes, I think one of the stands got wind damaged and caused thousands of pounds worth of improvements.Did it not suffer structural damage not that long ago?

That's not leaving us a lot of time to book up. I was planning on booking after the 1st leg of the prelim game if Pristina were winning by a fair amountThe announcement for the away won't be until it confirmed I would imagine that been 2nd July
They could announce the home leg
They will probably sorted the dates out but won't release them?
Here's a thought, they might look to play the game at Musgrave Park if Cork get through, rather than Turners Cross.
Musgrave Park is in Cork, home of the Munster Rugby team. Holds 10,000, which is a bit more like it.
They played Bayern there in the 90's.
No that’s LimerickHasn't Cork got a reputation for being a bit stabby?

AndAnd stock up, hygiene products are likely to be scarce.
It might even be worseI doubt attitudes towards us will have changed that much.
If you’re doubting they wouldn’t get organised, I would strongly disagree. This would be a ‘ dissidents ‘ dream.
Munster use both stadiumsErr Munster play in Limerick which is their version of Easterhouse.
What date would the away game be?
You have no idea do you ? Cork is a hotbed of republicanism and would pose a very serious threat to lives
Just looking at how the draw can potentially open up for the final two qualifiers should we get there.
We’re going to need a bit of luck with the draw like we did last season to be honest.
Even if we can get to Round 4 and be seeded, (hopefully beating a seeded team in R3) some of the teams we could get are brutal.
Bit of a difference between Belfast and Cork, might be played in Cork but there will be no Rangers fans allowed.
The rats eventually got for Linfield. Rangers fans will travel so they’re making it more dangerous if they try no away fans.
The good Protestant people of Belfast can be trusted to behave. And Windsor park is a lot safer stadium than what Cork’s will be.
Can see it getting moved to Dublin though.[/QUOTEB
I've been to Turner's Cross mate. It's not exactly Red Star Belgrade away.
I can also assure you Cork City fans wouldn't stand for the game being moved, four hours away in Dublin.
Corkonians tend to be chippy about the capital to say the least, so that simply isn't going to happen.
You kidding mate, Dublin when we played Bohemians in 75ish and 84 was a war zone, absolutely mental. They hate us with a passion.I’ve always thought most people in ROI don’t really give a shit about us or celtic. Or they at least hate us both.
In 1998 The Troubles were on going. There's no reason for this tie to be played anywhere else.
You are aware teams from NI like glentoran from east Belfast have been down to play cork and they passed off without trouble.now if we had drawn a Dundalk or shamrock rovers that would be a different ball game altogether.
I don't think it will.
I don't think you can play games outside your own FA boundaries anymore.
Celtic's game against Linfield went ahead in Belfast so I don't see this getting moved tbh.
No that’s Limerick
A follow follow myth.I’ve always thought most people in ROI don’t really give a shit about us or celtic. Or they at least hate us both.
For what reason would they move it to Dublin?Can see it getting moved to Dublin though.
