Bohs V Rovers

[BohDiddley]

anyway,no more on this,im sure we are all bored of it.

Yes, moaning and finger-pointing, while at the same time refusing to help tackle the problem, could be called, at best, boring.

I went to the match, hada few drinks afterwards in the Bohs bar and got a Taxi home. No trouble, cracking game for this neutral anyway.

and yet we didn't see a 25,000 page thread on how a load of trouble went on at the end of the Munster U-21 Hurling match the other week - resulting in a match official being verbally and physically attacked.

But sure - it doesn't involve the big bad wolf that is LoI soccer - so it doesn't get mentioned...

Check out a GAA forum such as anfearrua.com and you will find that 25,000 page thread! Dunno why you would expect to see it on a domestic soccer forum. Also the munster u-21 incident (where an umpire was forcefully pushed) got extensive print, radio and TV media coverage. I've neither seen or heard anything from the media about this alleged "riot" in town so I don't really see what your point is.

Well said g spain. I thought it had a cracking atmosphere also and was a great game to watch and there is nothing better than the bohs bar after we have beaten Rovers in a great game. I brough a female friend of mine who had never been to a League of Ireland match. We went to Block B for teh first half as I was a bit late but then went down to Block F for the second half and she much preferred it there as it was ride in the middle of the singing etc. Left about ten mins after the game and got a bus into town and saw no trouble whatsoever, just lots of police about thats all.

major talkin point here could be both fans leaving at same time. iv made you aware of this,people have said this happened and called it "weird" - its not weird its downright stupid! its your club,will you do anything to tackle it? i seriously doubt it so dont take the high road here with me when im not even a Bohs fan. you are so why dont you bring it up at your next Supporters Club meeting or something?

I know all sorts go on in Block F but I wonder if that was a first? At least she enjoyed it! :D:D

As far as I'm aware the Gardaí generally decide when the fans are allowed to leave. Again most of this trouble comes back to dreadful event management on their behalf. It's a sad fact that a more pro-active and engaged police force could rapidly eliminate 99% of incidents that occour in proximity to League of Ireland games.

Bohs fans part take in carnal knowledge in the middle of a riot, what ever is the world coming to :eek:

[Réiteoir]

it'd lend a whole new meaning to the phrase "sexing up the dossier

[dfx-]

thats all very well and good lads but not one of you has said the area i live.
if anyone is interested,there is someone else on the LSL forum saying they saw about 250 fighting. but he hasnt supplied video or DNA evidence so i wouldnt bother reading it..

You're missing my point and I guess others'. Hunderds if not thousands of people attended the game and have plenty of go-home-safely stories having enjoyed the game.

To say it would put you off the eL is looking for an excuse.

[Réiteoir]

Probably made fun of his shirt as well

Well if it looks silly then why wouldn't they :eek:

[sullanefc]

Seeing as this incident happened away from football grounds shouldn't we assume that Dublin has a lot of scumbags who like to fight rather than say that all eL grounds are unsafe as the OP suggested.
