4 goals in 4 starts this season for Twigg. The guy is unreal.

[Red4Eva]

Scum!!

[Bray-Z]

Scum!!

What happened?

[Fester]

Chambers SO for Rovers

Mons now 1 - 1

[Magicme]

Mons pull one back with Aidan Collins capitalising on a goalkeepers error to poke it home in the 83rd min.

[Ciaran W]

Stupid scumbag rovers fans !

[Maroon 7]

What happened?

Rovers fans going nuts.

[kingdomkerry]

Little knackers should be banned from every loi stadium

[Sam_Heggy]

game held up for 8 or 9 minutes with Rovers "fans" doing their best to get something started. Real pity as it was a good game up til then.

[gufct]

Scum!!

Absolute clowns who do they think they are. Rovers have about 50 lads caught on camera that should be named,shamed and banned.

[Sam_Heggy]

Should be interesting after the game to hear reports of fans trying to get home.

[Sam_Heggy]

Apperantly Rovers now down to 9 men O'Neill SO

O'Neill is the manager

[kingdomkerry]

Dont know about 50 of them but the lad that stood on the advertising boarding was central to it all. That little gurrier should get a "talking to". Disgraced all real SRFC fans

[Fester]

It has been going on for years with some rovers supports and nothing is ever done about it from one year to the next!!

Pathetic scenes, I don't know why a cop didn't reef that little scumbag off the hoardings and kick him out. The idiots cost us as much as Hancock's ridiculous sending off of Chambers (which was very bizarre), only 5 minutes were played of injury time which was how long it took to sort out those knackers, which meant we didn't get to play any "additional" time at all. Cheers lads. Felix Healy really doesn't like Rovers though "these scenes will be shown across the world"... don't think it was quite that bad Felix.

[Hairy Bowsie]

Rovers have no excuses not to ban at least 20 Hoolies that were caught live on television but i suspect that, as per Rovers, this will somehow be Dundalks fault :rolleyes:

It's actually Michael O'Neills fault and he should pick up a fine too.

Should remember though that any evidence you saw there tonight was as a result of doctored TV footage ;)

[De Town]

It was all Bohs fans fault.

Couldn't quite believe he only played 5 minutes - there was at least 10 between three goals, a handful of subs and the 7-8 minutes it took to quell the mini-riot.

Michael O'Neill was not at fault for it. His punishment was he was sent off(wrongly in my opinion).Just because your manager is annoyed on the touchline doesnt mean that fans have to start misbehaving, their not children ffs, they surely have some sense of reasoning in their small little brains.

The actual amount of punches thrown was 0. It really was pathetic stuff. I would love for this gang of spotty faced goons to try this against some real hooligans. A European trip to Serbia or somewhere similar might be just what is needed for these vermin.

Limerick 1 - 0 Shelbourne

Goal came from a Deady corner which shels keeper (Delaney?) misjudged and Cahill nodded in from 3 or 4 yards. Good win for us, I expected Shels to be better - they didn't cause many problems until the last 30 mins, and not many even then. They had a goal ruled out for offside, which they didn't complain about too much. Shels had a few dozen down, and they were in good voice for the most part.

Edit: says the goal was disallowed for handball on extratime.ie

[Hairy Bowsie]

It was all Bohs fans fault.

A rare alignment between the Moon and Mars caused some normally well behaved, casually dressed gents, to behave totally out of character so it's actually Sir Patrick Moore's fault.

[White Horse]

The Gardai put on the biggest security operation I've seen since Linfield came to town. The were checkpoints at various entrances to the town, horse mounted Gardai, other Gardai with dogs, and the riot squad was on alert at the station. We've only seen a fraction of that security at other high profile games.

I thought O'Neill was a disgrace. I can understand players getting worked up, but the manager should be aware of his reponsibilities. Chambers was unlucky to be sent off, a typical LOI sending off.

[Charlie Darwin]

I didn't think O'Neill did much wrong. A simple word from the referee should and would have calmed him down. It was a bad decision and managers need to be allowed vent a little. Fans charging the police is an entirely different matter, though - Gards dealt with it very well.

[QUOTE=osarusan;1354004]Limerick 1 - 0 Shelbourne

Good results for Derry and Waterford tonite with Mons drawing and shels losing

[HarpoJoyce]

Good win for UCD. Squeezes up the the middle a little, makes it all warm and cosy.
Great goal from David McMillan (Evan's brother) and the best answer to the slagging he got from some Pat's fans after he was chopped down by Derek Pender.
Pender had a wonder strike with the outside of his left boot that Gary Rogers tipped around the post to avoid the og.

Winger Dwayne Wilson had another great performance, Billy Brennan caught up on Rogers' goal conceded count. It's Brennans seventh Airtricity League clean-sheet.
Nice the Pat's fans kept singing through the game.

[Dodge]

McMillen didn't get abuse because of anything at the game. Some lads who knew him through school/college gave him
abuse and others joined in (like sheep)

nice goal and deserved win for UCD

[dfx-]

How does it work out that the game was held up for 7 minutes in Oriel tonight and there was 5 minutes injury time..does that mean an 88 minute game was played?

Congrats to Dundalk, well deserved win...comical defending for the second goal.

[SkStu]

eh, Bohs won by the way.

Crisis? What crisis?

imo he did, he went down in the box when rogers came out, even tho rogers got the ball, i think some of us felt he dived, altho i didnt i thought rogers got his hand to the ball first and ucd deserve a corner but instead a goal kick was given

[Ezeikial]

Smashing game in Oriel Park tonight.

The team that Ian Foster has assembled has treated us to some great games this season, particularly the 2-0 win in Tallaght, the St Pats 0-0 (best no score draw I have seen for a long time), the super win over Bohs (with Bohs playing some excellent if non-threatening football), but tonight, particulalrly in the first half was very special football.

Dundalk made Shamrock Rovers look ordinary and the 2-1 scoreline gives a wrong impression. Rovers were simply steamrolled out of it, and in Tom Miller (clubs player of the month) and Stephen Maher (tonights MOTM) have a midfield powerhouse that almost makes Paul Keegan look timid by comparison (well maybe a slight overstatement!). Melligan, Faz and Fenn (how did you let him go Fenlon?) add finesse and energy in different measures. Gaynor is a nightmare for any defendor and the back four is rock solid (I wonder does MON still rate Dan Murray over Liam Burns?)

This is a team that is going places and doing it in some footballing style - I can't wait to take on Pats on Friday!

[Dodge]

dan, McMillen got abuse from the first minute from 5/6 lads and it was because they knew him

The 'booing' was sustained, so there had to be a reason for that. I remember now both Rodgers and D.McMillan going for the ball. McMillan lay on the ground for about 20 secs and then got up holding his chest. So maybe some more Pats fans profiled him as a player looking for a penalty. It grew after Derek Pender was carded.
So maybe, maybe Dodge has small argument in what he says.

If it's any consolation UCD FANS booed Derek Pender for the rest of the first half, sheepishly. I ensured that continued a little into the second half (both the booing and the sheepishlyness). Next Match: BRAY.

[Dodge]

The initial stuff was definitely personal. I was right beside the lads doing it. As I said, some sheep followed in but at no stage was he getting stick off more than 20 lads.

(Oh and it looked a definite penalty to me)

[bennocelt]

the super win over Bohs (with Bohs playing some excellent if non-threatening football), but tonight, particulalrly in the first half was very special football.




Just think that's a pretty good assessment of Bohs at the moment, exactly what I saw last night anyway against Drogheda:)

[pineapple stu]

The initial stuff was definitely personal.
If that's the case, I imagine some other Pat's fans later thought it was for diving for the peno and joined in (cos booing is fun). It was only after that that I noticed it anyway.

Very enjoyable game; nerves added lots to it I'm sure. Reckon we could teach Inter a thing or two about defending. Been simply immense at the back the last couple of games. Great move for the goal too; 17 passes all told. Davey Mac couldn't wait to watch it afterwards.

[Sam_Heggy]

Bring on the new club tonight, shouuld be a cracking atmosphere. Just a pity it's mid-week.

[Magicme]

Sam, we need you to do us a wee favour....:D

[Sam_Heggy]

Sam, we need you to do us a wee favour....:D

Which one?

The one where you asked us to trash the place or beat Derry?
