A teenage soccer fan was foaming at the mouth when he threatened to punch a Garda in the face who had directed him to stay off the pitch during an Eircom League match between Bohemians and Galway United at Terryland Park in Galway. Garda Damien Gormally told Galway District Court he feared for his safety and had to retreat when up to 100 Bohemian fans surrounded him and kept egging the youngster on . . . .'

I can understand how this nonsence makes a minor paragraph in the gutter tabloid press however when in the final days of the season with upcoming cup semis on the horizon it makes it's own thread then it's a poor sign. You need to understand idiots are in all walk of life and not unique to LoI. Best ignored.

I await Sheridan and the rest of the baying mob to be as vocifirous in condemning this as they did a doctored youtube clip....
Any proof of this? It's a pretty serious allegation to make (as is the allegation of racism)- to claim that a piece of film has been doctored to make some fans appear to be making racist noises.
Bearing in mind the monkey noises were first mentioned just after the game had ended and had been mentioned based on the TV4 footage and not the youtube clip?
Sounds like a moron being egged on by other idiots, and a newspaper trying to make a story.

But it does highlight the fact that Bohs (and Rovers) fans are constantly invading the pitch after goals are scored, more so at away games.
Good to see your man get fined, but it should be possible to fine individuals for pitch invasions too.

This has been more and more evident on TV as well.
What is it with the retards that just can't contain their excitement at a goal being scored without running onto a pitch ? :confused: Seriously though - what a bunch of muppets.
More fines for the individuals please An Garda

one fan involved with Garda at any event is unfortunately common (see recent story RE Sligo fan at Bray on this forum) and does not equate with a number of fans involved in rascist abuse in the mind of any sane poster. having said that don't hold your breath waiting on any bohs fans to defend the person involved (unless evidance to the contrary appears).
Your accusation RE "doctored clip" should be dealt with when you present proof or else ignored as the mischief making it is.

Unsurprisingly - well stewarded grounds like the Brandywell don't have much of a problem with pitch invaders. It's the more amateur set-ups (and fans) that do....:ball:

I'd say that's as much to do with the distance between the stand and the pitch as anything else. But on the stewarding point, can't say I remember anything about Derry stewards, which means they must be doing something right.

I think he meant that no away fan actually has a notion what's going on on the pitch, and so can't see anything to make him invade the pitch, rather than the actual running distance required.

The home fans haven't a notion what's going on on the pitch either - and it's got nothing to do with the short distance fans are from the sidelines.... :(

Though for the record - every City fan has been paid individually with an offer of the tramway end at Dalymount for free. Hell - why stop at any only two different legal owners for the same thing... ;)

So a few fans of both Rovers and Bohs run on to the sides of pitches to celebrate with their heroes in the tightest of championship run ins seen for a while.Some of you should stick to tennis ,Rovers and Bohs bring bigger more passionate numbers to away games than any of you and yes our joy spills over from time to time, deal with it.:D
Here we go with the 'we only do it because we're more passionate' rubbish again. What other ground rules should be ignored due to this I wonder?
It's totally unacceptable to go on the field during a match. That is what should be dealt with.

22/10/2009, 4:36 PM
Well in the grand scheme of things it bothers me not a jot, as with flares as with banners winding up the opposition fans,I love it I live it I breath it so there.At most of your grounds there are hardly enough fans left to celebrate thats what needs to be dealt with Mr.

So basically two sets of fans are going to continue to break the rules and we can just accept it?

A similarly mature comment though.
It should bother you when these actions cause walls to collapse (Bray). But disregarding that, pitch invasions after goals look absolutely terrible on TV. It just makes the League look like a joke.
RoversHead
22/10/2009, 9:31 PM
There are much bigger issues that make this league look like a joke for starters.Maybe if you can get the clubs and the FAI to take the rules seriosly the fans might follow.Pitch invasions just like hooliganism are not a big problem in our league .Its usually a handfull of fans and lasts a couple of seconds no big deal and looks a lot better than empty stadiums on tv.In a list of 10 things wrong in the league it would not regester but it involves ours and Bohs fans so fill your boots and make us all out to be immature morons if you want.

So there's, a correlation between a set of fans' levels of passion and their propensity to invade a pitch in celebration ?
Interesting.
I note from match footage, however, that there's also a correlation between invading a pitch and wearing a Burberry baseball cap, having acne and being either under the age of 20 and of limited education, or over the age of 30 and above average BMI. It's strange how only the scrots amongst a team's fanbase seem to be 'passionate' when it comes to celebrating.

I wouldn't call it a pitch invasion to be fair. But it is a moronic thing to do.
And the off field antics of clubs in the league don't make it joke:rolleyes:

Yes. It takes a particular brand of stupidity to wear a Burberry cap in a non-ironic fashion. Particularly to a football match in Ireland. :)

Yes. Yes it is. :)

I agree with you except the bin lids bit, which is sooo last century. We've had wheelie bins since the 1980's and no-one bangs their lids on the ground. Keep up..

And a tendancy to run onto a football pitch like an over-excited toddler when their team scores a goal. That ain't big or clever...

We have joined the distinguished Shams and Bohs fans.
We now have reached the barometer of passion in football.
This is the layer cake.

If you can't keep off the pitch whilst doing it, even though you know it leads to a fine for the club you're apparently so overwhelmed with passion for, then yes - you are..... :D
How else would you describe somebody who deliberately causes an organisation they claim to feel pasionate about to be penalised as a result of their behaviour ? Moron sounds about right. :)
my two biggest hates when attending games in Dalyer and around the country was 1) pitch invasions by idiots and 2) kids running onto the pitch at the end of the game and pelting it around the place for no good reason... the kids seemed to have wised up but the idiots havent.
That said, a little spillover from time to time is understandable on occassion (Rossi's goal in Cork last season was one of my favourite celebrations of all time and i think a couple of people may have found themselves on the wrong side of the hoardings though im not sure)
