Rovers fans

first of all not all rovers fans.

rovers fans last night the lads who was there know who they are. they are the biggest load of scumbags iv ever withnessed thinkers is to kind of word for them animals throwing bottles stones in top of kids who are about 7 to 13 years of age going to the game with there parents. and what i withnessed outside the wheel was just crazy i must agree with gael they picked the wrong pub there. them animals should not be allowed near another limerick game down here again all rovers supporters incuded ye who had noting to do with it and ill be saying it to danny drew what he plans to do about it. from a personal point of view i dont know if i will go to another limerick game again i dont want to go to a game worried about protecting my son from bottle and scumbags and alot of people i was talking to WILL never go to a lim games again. garda also was at fault how did the rovers fans get out ahead of the lims fan when they were suppose to be kept inside the ground. o well it happens i suppose

The Rovers fans were kept back, I left just after the full time whistle and didn't come across any rovers fans.

Same thing happens anywhere they go to be honest. Galway girl organised sambos for them b4 the last game and there was a great bit of crack but at the game there was one ejection and several missiles thrown onto the pitch. Trouble follows them its as simple as that. I talked to several of their supporters at two a.m. and they were sound even when full of booze. You'll have hassle every now and again at most grounds and I recall years ago away fans getting threats in your ground from young lads riding Pie bald ponies so your not strangers to it no more than ourselves!

t�r oilean- one fan being thrown out is no big deal. as for objects being thrown on the pitch , it was a result of your own player celebrating in front of Rovers fans

the gards in limerick were the most useless inept fvckers ive come across in the EL. no wonder the ****e hole of a town in run by gangs

lkimerick fans on a high horse is amusing-limerick is a horrible dive of a place.its been one of the worst places to travel to away games in the EL for decades.

They were asked to stay back for 5 minutes until the Limerick fans had gone out of the ground, they must have been told 5 times, but the wannabe Millwall/Rangers fans walked out fast in a group of about 30 looking for trouble.

We met a few real Rovers fans who were disgraced by the Burberry boys, they called them "Scumbags", one guy agreed but said "not all of you though" The Limerick fans had a good craic and went to enjoy the game but about half of the Rovers fans were there to start a riot and were a right shower of thugs, they could have been mistaken for England supporters.

I heard some really pathetic excuses from Shams supporters in the past but this has got to be the worst :rolleyes: Why do Shams supporters always try to defend the scumbag element within their support

With every group of supporters there is a chance of a few spontaneous incidents but with Rovers it seems some of their fans are only waiting for an oppurtunity for a little aggro. They have a few ditties which i heard at Terryland with lines like "if your in a pack your gonna get a smack". In fairness though alot of their support are sound.

Well put anto eile, well put indeed.

quick question for the Limerick fans?

Whose supporters started throwing rocks?

Who broke into Rovers cars and robbed phones etc?

Whose locals steamed out of a pub with stools looking for a row?

Not one incident at that game was started by Rovers fans.

Neither - unless you think there Limerick FC supporters outside the ground?

I suppose it was local yobs. The fact that stuff was stolen would suggest it wasn't football related but opportunist crime but some lowlife who saw mobile phones on view in a car.

I presume if it happened in Limerick then the locals were Limerick people. Again, hardly Limerick FC supporters if they were in drinking while the game was on.

Now for you. Whose supporters stole a flag and planned to burn it at half time? Is that a provocative act? Whose supporters threw a bottle over the wall after leaving the ground back towards where the Limerick fans were exiting? Whose supporters refused to move back to where they were standing at the request of gardai and stewards? Whose supporters refused to stay in the ground for 10 minutes after the game - when they could have been escorted back to buses ift hey wanted?

By definition one car broken into - which happens at grounds all over the country and is not just to get at Rovers - and the Steering Wheel incident happened after the game. How could that justify throwing a bottle at a crowd that includes kids and older fans leaving the ground? Or burning a Limerick flag. Was burning the flag intended to start trouble with Limerick fans?

Every Limerick fan would condemn vandalism of the car, fighting at the Steering Wheel and the stones thrown from outside. I will look to the club to sort out the latter and they are trying to reduce the former (not helped if phones are left on show).

Will Rovers condemn anything their "fans" do? Or will they continue to live in a world where they are white as snow and don't start anything?

we aren't the ones staring threads on the internet denying all culpability!! the reality is that from start to finish locals attacked rovers fans with stones and there was a reaction. we have never denyed there was a reaction, but the limerick fans are trying to blame it 100% on us. pull the other one.

I heard that rumour too Nismo but am happy to report thats all it was a rumour started by someone with nothing better to do. The rovers fans were sound and were a good laugh.

To be fair, this guy does nothing but troll other boards trying to wind people up.

One of those arrested had a Scottish accent. He took a peno on the pitch at half-time. Did Rovers have a Scottish firm in tow on the night ? The policing at the game was dreadfully inept.

No,he isn't scottish and I think you have been reading a bit too much hoolie literature or watchin too many football factories.There is no firm,it's just a load of wannabes throwing shapes and the odd bottle and most if not all the trouble was caused by locals,it's the truth
