Genuine question here not trying to stir anything but would it be fair to say they haven't attracted the Sell-Thick knuckle dragging brigade many were expecting??
Their crowds on Final Score from Northern Ireland look pathetic. There was one game away to Glentoran where it looked like they brought no more than 50 fans. I was expecting to see Green and White hoops everywhere. :confused:
Also is that grassy/wooden/galvinised thingy actually their home ground :eek:
They haven't seemed to get the dodgy crowd as yet although a visit to Windsor in a few months may bring some out of the woodwork. And yes that is their ground, and believe me it is even worse than it looks, particularly the away end.Quote:

A load of the streets in the area of West Belfast from which they are from have the names of Towns in Donegal, hence their name.
You don't do irony then ?Quote:

How many Munchthur jersies were to be seen amongst the 200 odd on a Friday evening at Hogan Park during the past season ? :rolleyes:
you'd be lucky to see one (honestly) and it was more like 300 :)
Munster fans at a game of associanist football?? :eek:Quote:

It was going fine until a few genius' like yourself came on missing the point entirely. :rolleyes:
Oh ya and attempting humour. That joke you made about Pike, an absolute classic. Have a gold star, but don't put it in your mouth or your ear or anything now :rolleyes:

Calm down there, nobody is denying that other teams have their problems. Check the initial post on the thread, that is what I was replying to. It was not a questioon about Linfield or glentoran fans, it was about Donegal Celtic fans. That's why I came back with a response about Donegal Celtic fans. Also your memory of the game in 1990 seems very selective there. You remember one incident from so much that happened that day.Quote:

Personally the abiding memory for me that day was the full scale riot on the Spion Kop with the police having to fire plastic bullets to control the crowd not Brendan Tully getting a bit of a kick in the arse and going down as if he had been hit by one of the plastic bullets. Not condoning that attack in any way but it is one of the most blown up incidents that I have ever seen in football.Quote:
