Did anybody hear of any fans getting injured from two full contour bottles being chucked from the top tier in the Hogan, just underneath the scoreboard?
Seen it happen with my own two eyes, two full bottles, chucked from someone in the exits, out over the edge.
Really could have hurt someone seriously from that height.
The steward beside the terrace didn't even know it had happened:rolleyes:
How these/this scumbags got into the match I don't know...
saw that myself. the culprits were pointed out by some fans and it appeared to me that the stewards didnt want to actQuote:

Was in the Davin Upper myself and there was a fight right behind us..dunno what it was over, seemed to be 2 drunk scrumbags..not nice for the kids in the area to be seeing though
That's a disgrase if that happened.
Has anyone noticed that it is becoming a little intimidating in certain quarters attending the home games lately.
Even the away games seem to be attracting an element. I noticed at the Georgia game when john o 'donoghue was doing his broadcast he was been heckled and some idiot insisted on making a proper fool of himself, eventually they cut short the broadcast. And then you had the idiot who ran onto the pitch at that game (not the lad at the legends game)
You always get a few who try and ruin it for the rest of us. We dont need these clowns
Calm down the people outside the Porterhouse in Mainz were not scumbags. It may have got a bit boisterous but it was generally in good fun and Tony O D took it in good spirit. Do not compare that with guys throwing bottles and fights etc.
Green, do you nkow who the eejit you refered to is now?
We were in the lower Hogan and the two bottles landed 2 or 3 rows in front of us. Luckily they didn't hit anyone in the head. It created a sense of unease for the rest of match wondering if more were going to be thrown.
Totally out of order and made worse if the stewards actually had the scum pointed out to them and did nothing. They were probably too busy making sure fans didn't hang their flags up.
got you now Paul - misread what you meant - you could be right!!Quote:

It probably went a bit overboard but it was all good fun in the end and nobody got hurt etc.
I am sure whoever annoyed you is sorry that they bothered your Friday night in watching the news. As I said it is wrong for that incident to even be mentioned in the same thread as the other ones and to some how say it represents some sort of bad element travelling to games.
Its all very easy to make these comments from the comfort of your couch
The stewards are only there to watch the match. They never see anything else.
there was a fight in the lower cusack with about 10 mins left i couldnt really see what was going on there looked to be good few involved....
sickening to see that sh1te going on between our own fans
Was this fight where the guards came in, and i thought saw a small bit of smoke from a firework or something?
Yeah right, he didn't annoy me in fact up to a point i thought it was funny - up to a point but then it got out of handQuote:

BTW it was on the six news - went out later on and got hammered myself and started doing the same thing to the CCTV cameras - what a laugh that was
Ya was a few rows behind that in the lower Cusack myself. It wasn't really a fight, no punches thrown but not far off.
It started round half way through the 2nd half when a few youngish lads stood up for an Ireland song, and a couple of more affluent, older lads behind got thick and told them to sit down as they had small children.
Anyway, the lads in front began to stand up more and more often seemingly to basically annoy the lads behind, and then the older lads had a go again pointing out the children and everything developed from there until 2 Gardai came in and calmed things down.
It's a tough one really to know who was right there as you go to a match to sing along and create an atmosphere so you shouldn't be haggled for doing so but then what are you supposed to do with the small children? Anyone have any opinions there?
Personally I'm totally against people telling others to sit down at a match. What would they do if they were at the Bulgaria-Italy match last week where they were standing for the 90 minutes?:)
Source or bin? Nobody else seems to agree, which makes your post potentially just a troll.Quote:

It was not the six news it was the nine o clock. I was there at it was at 10 o clock Irish time, unless they the repeated it on the Saturday night. It happened at around 20 past 10 German time or 20 past 9 Irish time.Quote:

Hence why I took umbrage at you even bringing up the Tony O D incident on the 9 o clock news and it is so far away from the other incidents mentioned in its seriousness.
they should fill hill 16 with the schoolboys from now on to keep them out of everyones way
