Robbie Doyle scored from a free kick Vs. Longford for Bohs, runs to the bohs fans and trys to jump the hordings, creams himself ! classic stuff......
or we were playing Shels a few seasons back at the Carlisle, it was a big family day event and Rocky the seagull was behind the nets with kids etc.... on a bouncy castle, Owen Heary boots the ball, goes way to far, out of play, ball smashes Rocky on the head, his mask comes flying off, he goes flying himself, kids start to cry....... brilliant !

well Rovers only have 2 away games every year same as the rest of the Dubs so you wouldnt know much about away support
lets see how you do this year in terms of numbers when you have quite a few places to tavel
Can we keep this on topic folks?
Last season when i think story about Rovers player not getting piad by club when injured. Que "don't get injured you won't get paid" chant as Rovers player carried off pitch injured. Two guys lifting him off (foot injury) were laughing as walked past City fans in Dalymount.
"Bring out the plank" Years ago no stretcher at the cross so injured player carried off using builders plank.

listen pablo it is not my fault that there are so many clubs in dublin, if i had my way pats and boez would be done away with,rovers will travel in numbers wherever we have 2 go,Fact! we will prove it next season and then we will be back in the premier and travellin back to turners cross (in our hundreds of course:p
One of my favourite moments was in a first division cup match against Galway United. I was just behind the Galway goal when the ball broke in the box. Robert Forde in goal screams at Billy Clery 'Put it away Billy'. Clery takes a mad swipe at a volleyed clearance which skidded off his boot, over his shoulder and high into the net. Probably not what Forde meant.

rovers against waterford in inchicore the season before last and rovers singin (in the style of the eric cantona song) "ooh aah wheres paul mcgrath?, ooh aah hes in the bar!"
Also never get sick of singin "all the way to poland, u never touched the ball" to jason byrne. always makes him lose the head and get booked within 5 minutes:D

Ah, so many!
The friendly against Longford on one of the back pitches in Belfield which was held up for two or three minutes because the linesman ran straight into Mad Tom's elbow and winded himself that badly...
A goal-line scramble in Cork at 1-1 in the dying minutes when the ball rolled just over the line but Clive Delaney, who was lying on the line, reached out and rolled the ball back under Pat Jennings in full view of the shed AND managed to win a free-kick out...
Derek Swan's debut when he showed for a ball, fell flat on his arse, had the ball bounce off his head and set Ciarán Martyn away on an attack...
The story about an Andy Myler goal one time too when he hit a powerful shot which bounced off the keeper's chest, over the keeper's shoulder and towards the line. Myler celebrated, the keeper saw him celebrating and reckoned the ball was in the net and so punched the ground in frustration when in actual fact, he had plenty of time to turn around and catch the ball before it rolled over the line...
There was Eric Lavine getting booked in Flancare and not wanting to show the ref his number - even though the ref was going to know which one he was anyway because he was the only black person on the pitch...
There was one of our goals in Dundalk in 2004 when the keeper held a Tony McDonnell header and then fell backwards over the line with the ball in his hands...
There was the League Cup semi last year - enough said!

A few years ago, Limericks physio 'Danger' was running out on the pitch down in Cobh to treat an injury. In one hand was the first aid kit, in the other was the tray of water bottles....half way out, the elastic goes in Dangers tracksuit and it starts to fall down. Now Dangers left with a decision; he pauses, stands there for about 10 seconds, then keeps running. By the time he reached the injured party, everyone could see Dangers bare-arse...purely classic moment, and a bit embarrassing for Danger too....:D :D

There was a throw in for Longford, defender stands in his way- and with that the thrower bounces the ball off his head!
Fcuking marvellous stuff!

When we last got promoted, we played Shels in Tolka near the end of the season after they had lost the league to Bohs and we needed to win to make the playoffs at least.
We were 1-0 up and down to 10 men, Jim O'Neil reffing, and the ball is kicked out into the riverside stand with all us there, about 200 odd.
We begin to hold onto the ball and waste sometime and then as they ref was getting annoyed some guy stood up on the chair and started spinning the ball on his finger like he was a Harlem Globetrotter infront of the ref and Owen Heary, while the ref was pointing to his watch telling your man to hurry up. :D With the rest of us cheering your man on. Even the Drogs players were laughing at it.
This went on for at least 1 minute or so. It made such a nervous night that much better.
1st leg of the play off final Athlone v UCD. A UCD fan had a big poster
of Andy Myler and when Myler scored he grabbed the poster and ran
around the pitch waving it up in the air

Cabsy took the sponge and used it to clean his new white boots which he had

Town supporter giving the linesman abuse during a game, let a roar
"for fcuks sake linesman, do you not have the balls to make a decision"

All these classic moments will be lost to history when eL sides playing to 15-20k crowds... ;)

We played Derry this year and there was a scuffle over in front of where the Derry support was. The Muckers were throwing a blow up sheep around and it flew on to the pitch.
A Derry player went down after the scuffle and their physio ran on. Oddly our's ran on too, mistaking the blow up sheep for a player :o
Also, a linesman running into a local photographer at a game last year was quite funny.
Another I remember is from when we played Limerick in 2004. Lims came to Finn Park with no change of kit and they played in Harps rigs.
We were leading by a couple of goals when Limerick pulled one back. Wee bloke that scored runs off kissing the crest and saluting the home support who had given him some abuse - he only realised about two minutes later that he was in actual fact kissing a Harps crest.

well Rovers only have 2 away games every year same as the rest of the Dubs so you wouldnt know much about away support
lets see how you do this year in terms of numbers when you have quite a few places to tavel
Cork fans who think that Dublin teams have only 2 away games EVERY YEAR:D
This season we'll have 16 away games if the format is the same and we will be there as always. Yeah we travelled to cork for a home game but ye wouldnt even go to cobh for one!

What about Waterford, Longford, Drogheda and Bray? Then again you've probably never been to any of those places.

The game against Pat's at the back end of last season in Richmond. Awfful boring game but at one point UCD had possession and a St. Pat's player went down injured. An angry Anto Murphy just slapped the ball into the ground out for a throw in. Technically a hand ball but the ref didn't care. St. Pat's fans were not too happy with their future employee at the time.
When Dublin City scored their opener in the playoff at Dayler I was queueing up at Leo Burdock's. This rabid Rovers fan jumped out of the queue ran over to the side of the pitch and started thumping the sponsor board like a mad man and roaring. He then retook his place in the queue temporarily regained his composore then snapped and did it again. Schadenfraude at it's finest.:D

another Jackeen thing is it?
Funniest was when Cork lost to Rovers back in 94 I think, the match before Richardson got sacked.
In the first hal;f, all my Father did was rip the p1ss out of him, and gradually everyone joined in.Eventually about 80/90 people behind him were just resorting to barracking him, most of these were young kids and old people, you would have had to have been there.

Funniest thing was when Sligo played GAlway in The Showgrounds a few years ago in the Cup 1/4 final.
Don O'Riordon was in charge at the time so we were obviously losing,1-0 at the time.
Ref was giving some bad dicisions so one Rovers fan,Diner Coyle,Jumped the wall,onto the pitch and ran towards the ref.
All Galway and Sligo fans will agree.

An attempted flyin' header by Jose 'giz a wave' Mokendi for Derry City in one of his first games in 1985/86 (vs EMFA in Dec ?).
To say he mis-timed his flight and the ball's trajectory would be an understatement. He'd dived, hit his face flat on the ground, got back up again and dusted himself off, before the ball was anywhere near the right position for him. Cue 10,000 Derry fans absolutely wetting themselves with laughter. Had to be seen to be appreciated.....
The man was a rubbish footballer, but a lovely character, so the fan's loved him ! His son Mark is a quality player by all accounts though. He's on our reserve books and we've just loaned him out to Harps for a year.
"Jose - give us a wave...!"

Two moments come to mind at this point,first is in what may have been Pete Mahon's last game in charge of Bohs, he was under huge pressure, we were probably losing, a ball went out of play near the dugout and he ran to kick it back but slipped and fell spectacularly on his arss.
The other is Bohs v Skerries in the FAI Cup, Bohs had a throw and some auld lad from Skerries ran to the hoardings and threw his program at Webb and started going beserk at him. Webb's response was pure class, he calmly picked up the program, immitated signing an autograph on it, and handed it back to the guy! Pure class!
