...he supports Monaghan ffs. They don't know what fans are, never mind hooligans.
heard the chairman of sligo bemoaning summer football says it is killing the game in sligo ..too many young lads out gathering hay and making manure instead of watching it in the showgrounds.
on a serious note clubs do note have the cash /ability/resourses to deal with scumbags at lol matches. and the fai only response is to fine the clubs and put more financial burden on the clubs ..

At the time it was quite late, and I overemphasised my wording, but I still hold to the fact that its just a few scangers up for a few kicks. You really bigging up something which isn't that big an issue.
Were you there for this to be an accurate assesment?

As clubs try to promote th LOI I reckon the scumbag element are turning away a lot of fans who might be interested in attending games. Perhaps the interweb has highlighted every incident but I reckon levels of violence has increased. As a Bohs fan I am less than interested than attending Rovers Bohs matches any more due to the element that follow both (and many other) clubs. Reading about tyre slashing and bottle throwing at a recent Galway Athlone tie shows this element are everywhere. No wonder bar-stoolers are happy to watch football on tv

Agreed, and people who already attend games would be less likely(sp?) to bring along a mate if last nights crap is going to become the norm at games.

Trouble keeping people away from EL matches:rolleyes:
I have heard it all now
To many drama queens, overstating the problem
A fight is a riot, carnage, destruction you would see more trouble

The video footage of the Bohs "supporters" running across the pitch reminded me of my school sports for the under 12's. Where's the parents eh, :) cos most of them looked like they would still be grounded.

what footage?
I'm fully aware of our element but the bohs youth were in the ground a good 45 minutes before kick off trying to incite trouble, unveiling a stolen flag and trying to kick down the partition fence, not to mention running towards the Shels support! And just before the gypos go off on one, there was a bohs flag taken by some little creamer, but it was given straight back, to sum up Bohs= Scum!
Don't get me started on the Garda presence inside the ground absolute joke! Second half before they realised its more then just cushty overtime!
Great Balanced report.... :rolleyes:
Given straight back? The "We Are Bohs" flag and it had to retrieved by stewards and Gardai. And when it was retrieved, it was soaked. With what I don't know. Beer, ****, spit are all possibilities... (I had the misfortune of putting it back up)
You also failed to mention the scores of Shels fans who left the lego stand 5-10 mins before the end of the game to congregate outside the Ballybough end gate..
to some up Shels=Scum! :rolleyes:
Why the hell is p-i-s-s censored?? Ridiculous...

In defence of Leeza he has only recently become a member of the eL fans and since we dont have fights or trouble (unless we run outta mondogs...then u gotta battle ur way thro bout 8 children to try and ensure u get the last one) he has not had to witness such scenes.
StickyJoe....become a Mons fan....you will be joining a rather exclusive club with approximately 150 part time members who enjoy some football while causing very little upset!

Agreed. Believe it or not, I have yet to witness any actual handbags between fans at a national league game, which isn't to say that there hasn't been any. But incident-free games are not newsworthy, so the perception is that everyone who follows Irish football is some sort of street-fighting maniac or closet hoolie supporter.
We should never underestimate the depth of ignorance out there.

And lets leave bigotry to one side, eh Peader?
Have you any idea what bigotry is?
Is there no limit to how stupid your posts can be! :rolleyes:
Peader,
You are an arsehole and one of the least intelligent people I have ever met, on the internet or in real life.

Ok, before I request that you are banned for a personal attack, can you explain what bigotry is and show examples of it in my post?

if that was the case then attendances in italy england etc would also be in their hundreds or abysmally low thousands.
the above "reason" is just one of many excuses for people (mainly barstoolers) to avoid going to EL games
if you dont want to get involved in foghting at football then you wont. a small degree of sense and wariness is more than enough to avoid being caught up in trouble
no need to overhype it.
doubt this trouble made it into the papers. they only go on about trouble when its Rovers.

Don't think I over hyped it. Also when I lived in Phibsboro' it was hard to avoid scummers being chased down my avenue by the cops as I was about to head over to a Rovers game. Bits and pieces of damage done to cars (not hyped up or reported) and pretty hard to avoid as I was in my front room!
There are summers about and I hope they don't latch onto the LOI and use it as a vechicle to start rows, hurl abuse etc. It is an element to our game and one that needs to be stamped out before over-hyping will be the least of the problems.

Leeza, for the first time ever, I agree wholeheartedly with Peadar.

He suggests I don't understand what the meaning of the word 'bigotry' is, and then pokes fun at my age... Is this the actions of a mature, rational adult? Your bigotry, sir, is self-evident when you poke fun at my age, quoting a post I have made in this thread, and a post I have made in another one and then of course appearing to be all smarmy and smug.
Maybe you should learn the meaning of the word 'bigotry' before you accuse someone else of its meaning, when its perfectly obvious through your actions, and denial of your self-evidential bigotry towards those of a lower age, that you are in fact an idiot.
And I'm sorry if you think this is a personal attack, but lets be honest, your the one who threw puches first.
Also, you are ageist, which is a branch of bigotry.
But hey, lets forget about this... Its just the internet :P

stupid little gypos re-inacting scenes from their favourite movies! :rolleyes:
quickly pass the blame on.
Your home game your problem!
CCTV in the ground would be a big help!
Also I doubt you had anywhere near the correct number of stewards-to-supports as per UEFA licensing! :rolleyes:
