eircom League Premier Division club Shamrock Rovers have been handed a €1000 fine and warned as to the future conduct of their supporters – with the dreaded possibility of a further points deduction hanging over the club.
Shams were deducted eight points for licensing irregularities earlier in the season.
That penalty has kept them locked in the relegation battle – although they did their chances of survival a power of good with a 4-2 win over Longford Town on Friday night.
And after unrest involving Hoops supporters at the Dublin derby against Shelbourne recently, the club has been warned that their fans could cost them another damaging points penalty.
An eircom League spokesperson said: “Unless there is a marked improvement in the behaviour of the club’s supporters, the disciplinary commission will consider imposing a points deduction and/or ordering home matches to be played behind closed doors."
