Shamrock Rovers fans held after rampage in rivals' pub

[Rasher]

Yup all fair enough.
But from the outside it does seem you have an unsavoury minority attaching themselves to your club.

That's like blaming Manchester United for the behaviour of Bertie!

[dfx-]

Everyone who doesn't support Rovers has ropey beliefs, personally..

No, no it doesnt, in fact it couldnt be further from that comparison.

Yes pathetic, pathetic that you would lift that photo off facebook spend time blacking out faces and then post it here hoping to start your little smear campaign against Rovers. Sad. Disingenuously saying it was from Israel when you lifted it from an album of Rovers fans in Italy is pretty pathetic too.

What's pathetic is the litany of excuses used by Rovers fans. Roman salute my eye and even if it is why do it in Modena? Did you accept the "It was The Red Hand of Ulster Salute" excuse of the Linfield fans? The worrying fact is that from the situation you had ten years or so ago when there were antifa SRFC Ultras stickers about town, you now have people on your forum with righ twing avatars, youtube videos proving a small minority of your support was involved in giving racial abuse to Joey Ndo that only you lot can't hear and now a group of Rovers fans giving the Nazi...Sorry..."Roman Salute" (honest guv). You've gone way beyond plausible deniability at this stage. Now no one is calling Shamrock Rovers FC racist or Fascist but pointing out that there is an element which is thankfully in the minority at this point that should be weeded out before it gets out of hand. Surely that is something all sane Rovers fans should want to do and far from it being a smear on your club, acting on the problem would show you up in a good light.

If you look at the pic from another angle you can see the Rovers fans are just saluting someone across the road.

no, i just lifted the fine work of someone on the Bohs forum. You and your mate mypost can deny and deflect this all you want or you can condemn it. I thought you would have done so by now instead of trying to pin the blame on someone for bringing it to light. But then again, after the denial of the Joey Ndo racial abuse, im not really that surprised that your using the same tack again.

It did happen. But were our fans involved, that's the issue. 3 weeks later, and there's no soundproof evidence our fans were involved in that incident.

Of course there hasn't been any more on it. The people inolved will be up in court in a couple of months. Other than Busses and Taxis an easy way to get from Tallaght to the establishment in question is get the Luas to Smithfield and walk ten minutes. The incident happened around seven ffs. There was more than enough time to get there. The fact that I was well and truly on the road to drowning my sorrows in a nearby establishment can vouch for that.

While conclusions are being drawn, has anyone actually worked out what Rovers are supposed to do to prevent trouble in Phibsboro 5 hours after a match in Tallaght?

Ban them, much like Bohs fans destroying a pub in Derry were banned.

There's a considerable difference. Your lot were in Derry for a game played in Derry. Compatibility.

People were involved in an incident in a North Dublin pub, after allegedly being at a game held 20 kilometres away several hours earlier. Incompatibility.

So the Rovers chants might have been just a trick to smear the club?

A difference between starting a fight in a pub and going in armed with planks and bats chanting "Rovers, Rovers" and doing a bit of redecorating.
