View Full Version : Pictures of Shels thugs at Tolka v Cork City
Supporters warned not to get involved in any trouble - by Fintan Cassidy
All supporters of Shelbourne FC, young and old, are requested to refrain from retaliating or engaging in any trouble with opposition supporters, whether inside or outside football grounds. If fans are provoked, they should immediately seek the assistance of stewards or the Gardai.
The club intends to monitor the behaviour of all fans for the remainder of the season and will video or photograph where possible any such incidents. Any of our supporters or opposing fans found to be involved in such trouble will have their photographs forwarded to the relevant authorities and they will be barred from Tolka Park.

Hilarious stuff. In other words "...when you walking across the pitch to confront away fans please don't be provoked into throwing golf balls at them.."
:rolleyes:
CCFC have rule that all U-12s must be accompanied. Clubs such as City & Bohs keep people off the pitch for the safety of supporters & players. If Shels were to do this then Ollie would not be allow to harass referees.

I think it's time for a blanket ban across the league for unaccompanied under 16's.
The Carlisle would be empty then.:eek:

I do not think so. Maybe he needs to practice his aim more.

When they were throwing stuff at us last year, they weren't able to throw far enough, quite funny really.

I know it doesn't make it any better, but noone older than about 10 goes on, and that can be seen in the pics.
The guy with the "sash" tracksuit top, throwing the golf ball is more than 10 and to be honest, if that hit someone in the face, it's not going to be much comfort telling them that it was only a kid who threw it.
No club comes near shels with the lack of protection for away fans. They've tolerated pitch incursions for years and no find that they have lost all control.
I think it's time for a blanket ban across the league for unaccompanied under 16's. I know this will hit some club's taking more than most, but runts acting the b~llix seems to be a coutrywide phenomenon
16 is too old IMO. You wont have parents willing to bring their 14 and 15 year olds to games and its the ones who get hooked a this age who are the future of the clubs.
I know City are trying to organise the age being upped to under 14's at the moment for child safety issues. Thats as high as it should go i think.

OK :rolleyes: in future I won't be concerned when a golf ball gets ****ed at them. It is obvious that the **** threw the ball at some force............thank god for his **** aim :eek:
Everyone accepts that clubs cannot be responsible for everyone in the ground but i think all away fans expect is that Shelbourne FC actually make an effort at Tolka Park - i think a lot of home fans wish to see that too as little thugs like those pictured reflect badly on them too.

Was at the Ballybough end fro the waterford game. THe Blues fans [ a handful] congregated there and were soon followed down by about 25 little scummers whose sole intention was to intimidate and stir. They ranged in age from about 12-16. There was a single steward at that end who paid no heed to a simmering situation. The Blues fans were unmoved and the little s***s eventually moved away, unfulfilled.
Banning U 16's from the ground is a foolish knee jerk reaction. WE want to attract kids; make them members - cards and photos - then f them out if they're caught misbehaving.

Money? They break in probably over a wall somewhere, or wait until the end and get in for free when the gates are opened!
Whatever about the safety issue - and it is only time before soemone gets sreiously hurt at Tolka; this makes the league look ridiculously amateurish.
As a side note, eL weekly showed a "display" by Shels fans before teh game whcih looked suspiciously like flares being let off. I wasn't at the game myself, but surely they will be fined for this anyway.
I was surprised to see TV3 make a big deal about this in a positive way as it's obvioulsy totally illegal and other clubs are regularly fined.

The Display was organised by BD and there were NO FLARES involved at all! The only flare lit in Tolka park on Friday night was in the away stand by the cork supporters.
Shels fans organising the display obeyed the rules and used smoke bombs and flags.

Fair nuff - just asking ;)
Relax with the abuse Northside hoop.
I have no problem with flares myself, just noticing that clubs get fined for them usually.

We used smoke bombs, not flares, how you can't tell the difference I'll never know!
