Great advertising for City and there is sure to be a massive crowd at the match of Friday night.Congratulations to all involved!! :mad:
A few on here said that the whole family thing was aload of crap, well take a good look now.If you heard that X was an unsafe place would you bring or let your child go there?I think not.It's not just for Rovers games it's for every game.No matter what Lennox says or does now all of the clubs efforts are gone down the drain because of a few idiots.

Fcuk sake, what a clown. There's a tiny little bit of trouble in the Cross for the first time in years and all of a sudden he's telling everyone that the Cross isn't a safe place, yet no doubt tomorrow he'll be giving away tickets to a some match in England where there's a lot more trouble every week (it's just not reported) and telling everyone what a lovely family occasion a Premiership match is. Typical Prendeville and typical 96fm. :rolleyes: :mad:
Did any of ye ring up to defend the club and speak on the fans behalf? I would have done if I'd known it was on at the time.

It's a shame that a few idiots have rocked the boat a bit but it won't stop me coming down on Friday.I've been down several times and i've never had any bother at the match or out on the town.You couldn't meet a nicer bunch of people as far as i am concerned.Whatever idiots caused trouble at the Rovers game shouldn't even be given the publicity.That's their chance to sit around with all their other numbskull friends and laugh about it saying " look what we done ".They are a bunch of idiots who obviously don't support their club and have the IQ of an apple.The next time you see any sh1t like that kicking off go to a stewart and have them kicked out & banned for life.Looking forward to Friday but hope half your team gets lost on the way to the match and each Longford match after that but best of luck for all the other games.

well done to all involved lads....prenderville only needed a small bit of ammo to have a go at city,he's been at it for years but never had anything concrete to base his opinions on....well ye've just gave it to him on a plate on friday...muppets
How long have Dolan and Lennox spent building up the crowds and getting families to come to games?
In fairness the performances on the pitch will scare more people off coming to the Cross than the remote chance of violence.
In all my years supporting the club I have only seen real trouble when Rovers are in town.
This was a shameful incident, but it should not be deflecting attention away from the team's performances.
As for the media's interest in the incident - there have been many incidents in the league recently and the gardai have done nothing about it, except have meeting after meeting where they decide nothing.
Things like this do not happen in the Nationwide leagues anymore because the fans are properly separated. Why isn't anyone questioning that??

No point blaming Neil Prenderville. I wouldnt bring my kids (if I had any) to Turners Cross. It can be very nasty. Especially hateful abuse aimed at players like Alan Reynolds like that banner last season. Sickening.

Did someone force that minority of City fans to go near the Rovers fans?NO.Maybe the section of the St. Annes end nearest the Rovers fans should have been closed but its still no excuse for what happened.
Congratulations to all the people involved last friday night, for ye truly are the Pride Of Leeside.
I listened to a few bits, I didnt think it was overly harmful tbh. I thought he stressed a few times that there was a great athmosphere and a great football match.
Ambaiste!

Does anyone really care what prenderville says? he's a known muppet.
A muppet who a lot of people listen to, mores the pity.
While i agree that the behaviour of those morons was disgraceful (and deserves a life time ban IMO) i think its completly over the top to say that the Cross is a dangerous place to bring your family. :mad:

Lads, there is no point in calling Prendeville a clown or anything else.
He is doing a job, there was violence at the cross, created by "City fans", he is discussing it and leaving it up for debate, but no matter what you say, some people deem violence of any description an unsafe place to be.
It is a football game ....... people do associate trouble with football, and rucks etc. .... he only has to say the word and the public have a picture painted already.
The people to blame in this case are the "City fans" that started/joined in/went to have a look.
Even if the Rovers fans started it .... the City fans that would have joined in would have done more damage by allowing it to get worse. There is no debate a.... the City fans that were involved were totally wrong and have damaged the club to a huge extent.

I'm with A Face there,
I'm not a fan of Prendeville, and there's little doubt in my mind that he's dislikes CCFC and their fans, but it's not like he's making the reports up, no point in shooting the messenger, he's not the one who did the damage here.

Your e-mail just tried to justify what happened. Fair play to Prederville 4 reading them out. I didn't think hed have the balls, the bolox.
Yeah he read out emails from myself, theCorner and Trevor. I think we all made our points fairly well, we basically all said the same thing.... that Turners Cross is a safe place for kids and that Rovers cause truble whereever they go. I invited him to come to the Longford game on friday but he declined my offer as he said he doesn't believe he personally would be safe in the Cross. :rolleyes:
I thought the City fan who rang up also made a few good points and showed the Rovers fans up for the scum they are.
A woman also rang up who was on the train with them and she seemed quite distressed at the Rovers fans behaviour. Prendeville then said that you could tell Rugby fans to shut up but not football fans because they are "inferior life"! (I hope he was referring to Rovers fans and not football fans in general).
As for the woman who said she was appaled at the language in the Shed.... ffs get out more darling!
He also read out a statement from Brian Lennox in which he did nothing to condemn City fans and layed the blame with Rovers fans. He even mentioned "trouble at a lot of games between Dublin teams".
The general consensus of nearly everyone who rang/wrote in was that Rovers fans were to blame. Prendeville even said that they really seem like a bad bunch.

He read mine last and then went for a song :mad: ...the tool had to response.
Yeah well you must have got to him if he didn't give a response! :)
Did you notice what he said at the very end of the show about people mistaking callers/emailers views for his view and so on.... it was as if he was trying to didn't want to accept responsibility for what he had said!
He's off on holiday for a week now so that should be an end to the debate. City fans came out of this mornings show smelling of roses anyway and Rovers were made look like monsters. :)

I don't think either side came out too well. The main theme from it all was that Turners Cross is not a safe place to go to a match. And I don't think your email(Colm) came across too well. All it sounded like is that you were passing the buck onto the Rovers supporters.

19/05/2004, 12:02 PM
exactly, he blamed it on the history of Rovers. It sounded like horse**** to me considering we know what Colm thinks of the incident.
Nice touch at the end though "Neil, you should come to the match next Friday?"
Thats like asking Osama bin Laden to come on a weekend shopping break to 5th Avenue new York.

all of us here chose our wording wisely
And I don't think your email(Colm) came across too well. All it sounded like is that you were passing the buck onto the Rovers supporters.
Are you sure you're not confusing my email with Brian Lennox's statement because Prendeville did accuse him of trying to pass the buck.
I think Lennox's statement was spot on to be honest, he didn;t say anything bad about City fans and pointed out that Rovers are always causing trouble.
Colm's was well said, he didn't blame Rovers at all...he said trouble only happened as it was Rovers here etc and the history of Shamrock Rovers fans etc.
Cheers Xtreme. I think all 3 of our emails came accross very well and made a point about how Turners Cross is a safe place and how Rovers are always causing trouble. The main thing is that the club got no more bad publicity this morning, the most critical thing anyone had to say was the stupid cow who was offended by the language and the chanting. I think this mornings show should have convinced everyone that City matches are a great place to bring your kids and are a great night out. As theCorner said, job well done. :)

Fair nuff ... wnt well ... but we all know ourselves that a City fan started it so no matter what was said on the radio, there is no getting away from that. Unless you want to deny it ever happened that is.
Lads, being physically incapable of tuning to 97 MHz, I never hear MoronFM. So could you be so kind to post those emails on here?
Thanks.

Hi Neil,
Just a quick note to say I witnessed what happened in Turners Cross on Friday night last and it is being blown out of all proportion by you and your radio station in my opinion.
It was a minor incident which only lasted for a few minutes and did not jeporadise the safety of any patrons who were not involved. It must also be noted that this was the first incident of crowd trouble in Turners Cross for many years. Therefore, I would like to point out that Turners Cross is an extremely safe enviornment for children and families.
Football violence is not common place in the eircom league and in particular at Cork City matches, this was an isolated incident. I also believe that it would be unfair to lay the blame for the incident at the feet of City supporters as the trouble only started as a Shamrock Rovers fan was being arrested for a seperate offence and some of his friends left their designated area, moving in the direction of City supporters. Shamrock Rovers fans have caused trouble at numerous other games this year and in the past, Cork City fans have not. Cork City fans are usually very well behaved and create a wonderful atmosphere whereever they go.
Cork City games are always a wonderful occasion and are as good a form of entertainment as any in this City. I hope that many of your listeners will come to Turners Cross this Friday for the match with Longford, I encourage people to bring their children and their friends and they are sure of a good trouble free night out. Perhaps you and your children will attend the game yourself Neil? Pat Dolan's Rebel Army deserve the support of the entire City and County.
Yours in football,
Colm O'Sullivan.
Nice one Colm, thanks.
Did Prenderville claim that it would not be safe for him at the Cross?
Why does he think that?
Sure no one gives a sh*t about the tosser..... :rolleyes:

Yeah, that's what he said.... that he didn't think the Cross would be a safe place for him to go. It was just an excuse because I reckon 99.9% of people wouldn't even know what he looks like or care for that matter. He just didn't want to attend a sporting event as he prefers to watch them on TV (something he admitted on yesterdays show!).... it's no wonder he's so appaled by the level of language at the Cross, you don't hear the crowds comments when watching sport on telly. :rolleyes:
he did finish off by saying that it doesnt seem like a safe place for families etc....
only to be expected from a moron like him. I hope the people who are boasting about confronting rovers are proud of themselves now :rolleyes: :mad:
In fairness the performances on the pitch will scare more people off coming to the Cross than the remote chance of violence.
I take it you weren't there on friday so!!!!
No point blaming Neil Prenderville. I wouldnt bring my kids (if I had any) to Turners Cross. It can be very nasty. Especially hateful abuse aimed at players like Alan Reynolds like that banner last season. Sickening.
Prendeville is always looking for a chance to have a go- every city fan knows that. Which makes those who let the club down even more stupid in my eyes. As for the abuse- you hear worse in the street, on the telly and in schoolyards every day- thats why there's a family enclosure too. No need to be so dramatic about it
I invited him to come to the Longford game on friday but he declined my offer as he said he doesn't believe he personally would be safe in the Cross.
He might have a point there, but thats his own doing- remember the lovely song we had for him :D
The general consensus of nearly everyone who rang/wrote in was that Rovers fans were to blame. Prendeville even said that they really seem like a bad bunch.
Which again leads me back to something I've said all along. We've accused Rovers of ignoring their trouble-making element for years- are we now going to do the same? :rolleyes:
