Disgusting Incident at Dalymount last night.

[David]

Out of curiousity - did anything happen to the Shels goons who ran to the edge of the North Stand at Windsor to hurl abuse etc at Linfield fans at the end of the Setanta game up there ?

Was a bit of a storm in a tea cup, no real big deal to be honest.

Same thing I'd say for this thread :rolleyes: .

Right, mental man your bus got bricked in Dalyer but ffs no need to start a thread on it on here making out it was like world war 3!!

And before you ask, Yes I was on the drogheda bus that got bricked a couple of weeks ago (which actually had a bohs fan on it :eek: ). Drogs supporters who were on the bus didn't make a big deal about it (and won't), was done by kids no more than 15/16, sh!t happens, we don't live in a perfect world!

btw great security presence was organised by Bohs with the guards for our match. They hung around for a good while after the match - but unfortunately some young lad went to the chipper after the match and we were waiting for ages for him (cant remember what the name of the chipper was but ye wouldnt want to be in a hurry :D ) (and by that time they got back, the guards had taken off I think - 10 o clock is shift change over time i think!)

Drogheda buses attacked after match in Dalymount

ADVERTISEMENT




By Donncha MacRaghnaill
TWO buses containing Drogheda United fans came under fire after they left Dublin’s Dalymount Park after their first League win of the season over Bohemians on Friday night.

One of the buses had its back window smashed with a baseball bat, while a second bus carrying members of the Drogheda United Supporters Club was also attacked as it pulled off just moments before.

Rory McCullough, the owner and driver of the first bus, said he didn’t believe that the culprits were Bohemians fans, but rather ‘yobs’ just looking for a fight.

‘I told the lads on the bus not to move. The only other way to stop them was to get 10 or 15 of the lads off the bus but if someone had a blade or a smashed bottle, you don’t know what might have happened so I said leave it, sit down and we’ll get out of here.’

‘They weren’t Bohs fans. Those young fellas didn’t have the price of a ticket never mind anything else,’ he said.

The bus was parked in the Phibsboro area of Dublin and was due to pick the Drogheda fans up at 9.50pm.

‘A couple of the young chaps decided to pop into the chip shop so we were a bit delayed. Next thing, this group came upon the bus, looking for stones. They clearly knew the Drogheda crowd was up and wanted to cause trouble,’ explained Rory.

‘In Dalymount you’d expect something like that, but not from the club or the fans, just the nippers in the area. One was wielding a half a baseball bat and eventually smashed the back window. At that point they all scattered and we escaped.’

As Rory has a busy school run, it was vital that he got the bus fixed. Luckily he got a lend of a back window from another local driver and was back on the road on Monday.



San I wasnt claiming it didnt happen, just I hadnt heard of anything and I did walk up towards Hedigans amid a lot of Drogheda fans and didnt see it happen.

Just to clarify tho, The two buses werent parked in Dalymount, they were parked up towards the canal at the top of the whitworth road.

we know it was local scumbags we get our fair share of them, my point was that it is incidents like this that are resulting in lower number of Drogs travelling to my fav away ground.

I was on the bus on friday night and what happened to us seems to be exactly what happened to drog fans,a gang of about 25-30 14 year olds gathered outside the ground followed us to the bus,threw stones and then one ran up and smashed the window with a hurley.
We thought this was a once off but clearly its not and something must be done about the little scum cause its gonna put people off going to dalymount

Cop on! What good is that going to do!? There wouldn't be any point in doing that as those gob****es were only looking for trouble and if the WU fans were to
chase them then they would be playing into their hands!

No, I reckon if they saw 20 or 30 angry Waterford fans hopping off the bus they'd run a mile!

So what should you do instead? sit there and let them put through all the windows?

Cop on, there's only one language these ****s understand! :mad:
