the subject matter is not up for debate the only way to stop the el from becoming like the premier league is to attract a better class of follower. all i'm asking for is help to draw up these rules. any suggestions???????

. . . And fairplayboy what about the bravehearts who ran all the way from the shed last season to try and "sort us out"? Was that before or after some bright spark from Rovers supporters threw the stones into the St. Annes end seating where I and many other parents were sitting with our children?
It is often said in an argument that so-and-so doesn't get it, when really what the person means is that they do get it, but they are too obstinate to admit it. In your case, I am starting to wonder.

The fact that he speaks his mind and has the best managerial job in Ireland means that he upsets a lot of the rival Dublin clubs and some of the small bogger clubs.
Oh how I laughed :D

Laugh all you like but we're second in the league and have a great chance of winning the bloody thing. :ball:

You certainly have a chance, arguable whether you have a GREAT chance. But surely thats the least that can be expected from a club as massive as Cork City?

I notice how you left out what I said after that. Try reading ALL of what I said and if you're too lazy I'll say it again. ALL clubs with a following have a few loons.
Speaking of stones we were showered with them exiting turners cross in 92 and 97. I could mention my friend getting glassed in the face in the horseshoe.
We can go around and around all day about each others supporters. The bottom line is until there are strict segregation areas in grounds and competent stewards this will go on and on............

Not hard to understand really. If you took away your diabolical hatred of Rovers and had something constructive to add but I guess that's too much to ask :eek:

Supporting a team like I do that hasn't played in the Premier for a decade now, I have no reason to hate Rovers, or any other club for that matter....lose the persecution complex that ye all seem to have for god's sake, its pitiful.
It is quite shameful that these 'scenes' keep cropping up at soccer matches, but I would like to make one point: Every week at some GAA county final or other, there are pitch battles it seems between players, supporters, referees and the like, and mostly someone gets done with a hurley or a good few slaps with a fist..yet its all seen to be part and part of the culture of the GAA.Nothing more said, and its all forgotten about down the pub later.
Football hooliganism was 'cool' in the 80's and a few gurriers today seem to want to make it cool again...I don't know if strict segregation is the answer because I feel that then you're paying attention to them, and ultimately thats what they want, but I do agree with NY Hoop :eek: that something needs to be done or else it will continue.

I gotta lie down!!
On the whole GAA thing while you do hear about pitched battles you never hear about crowd trouble i.e. fighting between opposing fans. Am a huge fan of the GAA and believe that as EL fans we cant really slag them off. Look at their facilities. Anyway it's a different culture.............

the whole culture thing is my point exactly...its all done and dusted, no reprisals, long running hate campaigns, and some of the supporters do get involved in scenes too, but they're not considered as violence or hooliganism.
We could do with taking a leaf out of their book on this one. The problem is that the scum elements that most clubs have do not care about their club, or its players or results. They want to cause trouble, pure and simple and won't be happy till they do. :mad:

Oh they do care but it goes a lot deeper than that. Definitely something not to be discussed here anyway............
Also some of the GAA officials and players are cops so it'll be glossed over quicker than the EL.............

In all my years going to GAA matches up and down the country I've never seen trouble with the supporters either. I'm sure isolated incidents happen, but very rarely. The fact is that at a GAA match you can sit next to an opposing fan for a match and have a good laugh. I've done it plenty of times this year in stands and terraces where I was greatly outnumbered and I never felt threatened. The main fights at GAA probably happen on the pitches which are usually sorted out by a quick exchange of blows :eek:

Opps, Just seen your piece about not discussing here and your probably right. End of rant.........

I thought that you were on about the fools that just go along to games for fights and would struggle to name five of the first team kinda fans !?!
Are we talking about the same kind of fans here ???
Basically .... i think that people who go to games with the intention of fighting/breaking something/anti social behaviour are doing untold damage to our game and in no way could be classed as fans. These people take no responsibility for their actions what so ever and they exist because people tolerate their behaviour and to a certain degree the people who excuse this behaviour and these people are part of the problem.
The people making the allowances for these fools are damaging our game and dont have to answer for it !!

It's utterly laugable that anyone who "follows" $hels can make any comment at all about another club. Your club secretary/owner/saviour/whatever title you want, regularly acts the lout, uses physical intimidation and bullying, as does your little scumbag manager and the thugs that pass for some of your players.............. Want to keep your mouth shut, after you take your foot out of it?
For a start, CALM DOWN !!!
For seconds, I was commenting on CCFC and never compared them to Shels. I think I am perfectly entitled to point out problems / bad habits I have seen at other clubs, even if the same problems supposedly exist in the club I support. As for Ollie Byrne, everyone knows he's an eejit, but I'm not so sure it's fair to say that about the manager or players unless you can give us some definite examples.

If you genuinely cannot think of any examples of the thuggery of Oily, Nuttsy and those members of his squad who can be quite honestly described as hatchetmen, then you have been following a different club to the one you profess to follow.

players? Try Heary. Excellent player, but a dab hand at intimidating referees even to the point of pushing them around a la jim o'neill.

Yes, but it IS based around the rather hilarious farfetched premise that a girl whose parents are killed would of course have no problems going to live with her assassin neighbour. Ah sure can't I just slot in here with yerself and yer guns like, sure I'll be no trouble at all at all...
at the time the girl is just lookin for a place to hide from the men that killed her family. at first she doesn't realise what leon does. when she does find out she sees it as an easy way to get revenge. like gettin a mate to do a nixer for u.
