Shamrock Rovers fans held after rampage in rivals' pub

[OneRedArmy]

Why can no one ever accept responsibilty? other than say what others have done. the old phrase get your own house in order etc springs to mind.

Who specifically would you like to take responsibility for this? Bohs members who post on foot.ie, Bohs board, the fans of other clubs, the people who did it.......?

There has to be less blame culture and more responsibility and acceptance. One family, which is what I often hear on these threads about the LOI community.

What does that even mean?

Unless the violence can be proven to be football-related, Shams have no reason to ban them. Should I be banned from Bray games if I got into a scuffle in town of a weekend? Should anyone with a criminal record be banned from attending LOI matches?

[Rasputin]

Yup not much Shams can do in this instance in fairness.

Hate seeing these type of lads at the games. .There was two of them at the drogheda game at the weekend and after Dennehy scored, scumbag 1 turns to scumbag 2 and asks who scored, your man says ''i dont know who he is'' and i watched them for the rest of the game and neither of them looked at the game once they just stood there stoned out of their faces.

[SkStu]

absolutely nothing they can do about it to prevent it but they can take action against the group to prevent them from attending games, if they are convicted.

Having said that, even though these guys were obviously morons, i dont know why it was necessary to identify that these were "Shamrock Rovers fans". Its just another public order offence that probably wouldnt have been put in the papers if there wasnt a LOI twist to it. Its pretty disappointing but to be expected at this stage.

So that made 3 of yous not watching the game

[hoopy]

this incident has nothing to do with football/LOI fans here or anywhere else. I would expect shams will ban anyone convicted but what the hell else can any club do about a few scumbags acting the ******** miles from the club and hours after the match ?

Find this post interesting, considering your post on your own forum.

It's the Turbine, what do you expect? Though the fact they are redesigning the paper AGAIN suggests it may be on its last legs, so we won;t have to put up with it from them for much longer

Eight Shamrock Rovers fans were arrested last Sunday after causing extensive damage to a Dublin pub following a fixture against rival club Bohemians.

After the match, which took place in Tallaght Stadium, Rovers' home ground, about 20 fans travelled by bus from Tallaght to the Phibsborough House pub on the northside of the city

There is no direct bus from Tallaght to over there.

Not doubting there were arrests, but there's no proof nor quotes in the article stating it was our fans either.

[SkStu]

the article doesnt claim there was a direct bus at all.

what constitutes proof then?

[Shedendinvisibl]

Assuming this story is indeed true, a "minority" of at least 30 fans left Tallaght and went about traveling 17 kilometers across the city to cause a fight in what is a quiet local pub. Regardless of the status, relationship or otherwise that these people's links to SRFC are, there is no way that the SRFC club or board can not be in control of 30 fans like this. However, it's utterly unlikely that said same bunch would go to this much effort to cause havoc without any SRFC club officials or fans being aware of who they are and any inaction by them is unacceptable.

There's nothing our club can do to stop free people smashing up pubs, but seriously nobody is going to travel an hour and a half by bus from one end of Dublin to the other, via two buses, just to smash up a pub, never mind 20 such people. If it was our fans involved, we'd have found out inside 24 hours.

The story is a week late and so off the wall, to be taken seriously.

[Lim till i die]

It's believable.

It's those propah nawty football factories mongs innit.

A taxi man told me about this last Wednesday, To be honest i took no notice when he was saying it
