Drogheda Hooligans

[Major Tom]

you made a very serious allegation by fabricating a story about getting stones and a chocolate bar thrown at you and a child at the recent Rovers/Dundalk league cup tie.

Mr T. threw the chocolate bar. Mickdlk wouldn't quit his jibber jabber, and was clearly acting like a crazy fool!:D

Nail on the head pal .What happened "IN" Tolka and what happened "IN" Drogheda , not in united park . And as far as i know the abuse the webb got does brake some kind of law , not sure which .

It happened in the vicinity of United Park and there would have been no bus there if there was no match on also who where those individuals who left on mass 5 minutes before the end? Therfore is it not the responsibilty of drogheda utd and the guards to not make sure that the opposing team's safety?

heads in the sand

Round and round and round it goes............where it stops, no body knows.

From an neutrals point of view, for what is worth:

The "fan" that shouted abuse about Webbs wife is pondlife and deserved his banning. Drogs players, management and directors quite rightly very annoyed. Shamrock Rovers directors behaved professionally and quickly on what was a very sensitive issue.

The cowards that put the windows of the bus in and alledgedly spat at a young girl are beyond contempt as well. But here is the difference for me. According to on here, the Drogs officials did nothing to help the driver or the Rovers players and that is what is annoying Rovers fans.

It is the attitude of the Drogs saying 'nothing to do with us' compared to the Rovers chairman's personal and public apologies over the Webb incident. I don't think they are comparing the incidents but the way in which they were handled by each club.

Regardless if it happened outside United Park, regardless if the heroes of the hour were at the match, the Drogheda officials should have been doing everything in their power to help the Rovers driver and players.

Not taking sides in this at all as it is two clubs whose fans I have a lot of time for, but I think for the most part, this turned into a Rovers bashing thread. Some of the people posting here can't see the wood for the trees. Just look at the very first response the original poster got when posting about his 6 year old been spat at. Sad.

fbtn - Cheers for the sanity-injection. Here's to a League Cup quarter final in Ballybofey. :)

Hear, hear. Suitably admonished and ashamed. Sorry, ftbn.

[Celdrog]

Could somebody please tell me what exactly the Drogs officials did or did not do to help Rovers.
Did you want medical attention, a new bus, Vincent Hoey to drive you home, somewhere to get over the shock???? What was it please?
All I've seen so far is that the Drogs did nothing to help Rovers. Lots of Rovers fans on here in the know. Please tell us all.
I will personally take it up with the club if they failed to give reasonable assistance.

We'll look after that matter ourselves but - and I mean this sincerely, despite your smartarse comments because it's obvious you're oblivious - thanks for the offer because I accept that it's genuine. Everyone at SRFC is becoming increasingly aware that we need to do things our way. You keep a good eye on the speculators who own your club and we'll run our club as we see fit. Let's see what the future brings.

@ ndrog - Where's Hughes'? A lot of the lads I know drink with Drogheda fans before games up there and I honestly can't see that changing. (I'm not talking about having cans with Bebos in a car park.)

I can only imagine that dealing with Rovers management when SRFC was a desperate property play was at least as bad as dealing with DUFC as it is at the moment. I can't imagine that our volunteer staff dealing with your administrator get treated an awful lot worse than anyone dealing with Ennis & Co. did.

I can't imagine Magoo would have been too worried if your bus had been blown up with half the team on board as his reign was coming to a close. He had other things on his mind. They all did. In your case you have the addition of Doolin, a man who cannot hold his head high at previous clubs.

Anyway, as the petty and unpleasant Zardok character will not allow me to film in United Park, I'll be taking the night off. That means a scoop with Drogheda fans in the Windmill before the match. Looking forward to it.

It's in a fortnight, btw.

Where's Hughes'?

Mother Hughes pub, its the one at the fork in the road, you go right to head up to united park or left to continue towards Belfast. It always has a big Drogs trcolour on it on matchdays.

[pete]

The only improvement i've noticed on match day at United Park is that away fans no longer forced out opposite the car park so can avoid a lot of the angry locals coming back out the main entrance.

What chance has this league got when even the people who love it, ie us, seemingly hate each other. It's bad enough having to listen to every joe soap asking why we go to watch 'that rubbish', but are we getting to a stage where we have to start asking ourselves why we bother to go? Take this thread for instance. How many posts are actually about the actual subject. Why must the same gimps from different clubs use each thread on the subject of violence to bring up something that happened in the past over and over again? I know some of our clubs fans hasn't made things easy for us in the past, but even when we're the 'injured' party it's the same people who come up with the same crap, ie 'I remember 5 years ago I was threatened by one of your fans so you can't come on here complaining' type of rubbish. Any chance of people contributing to a thread with something other than to settle old scores? Then we have people like that great interviewee Stuart Byrne say after the final tonight that what happened on Tuesday night was 'blown out've all proportion'. Amazing. The hypocricy in this league doesn't look as though it'll ever change. What chance have we got for a decent future?

It has gotten like that the so called decent fans bickering about this crap instead of getting together and trying to sort it out with there clubs this rubbish is killing are league and the only thing most of us are doing is sitting at a computer.

Im not saying i have all the answers but i belive by fans and clubs working together we can get rid of the scumbags who have attached themselves to our clubs.
