Bohs V Rovers

im not sure where to put this so move it if it has to be done but :

i live in an estate in the centre of town and not 10mins ago there was a full scale riot in the middle of it from Bohs and Rovers "fans". cars parked in the estate were being battered,kids playin in the estate where thrown out of the way and pushed to the ground as "fans" ran through. the police arrived about 10mins later and kind of calmed things down but then roughly 150 (not exageration) Rovers appeared from nowhere and there was vans and cars (police) driving along with them in an escort fashion. a few of the group ran over to my estate and SPAT in a young girls (about 12yrs old) face and called her a fat northside ****!! all in all id say the 2 gangs were even numbers so thats 300+ running riot in crowded areas with weapons etc etc. you wanna know why people dont go to the EL?? i have just given you your answer!!

If anyone has any issue with what happened tonight, report it to the local Gardai. That is the only thing that will effect change if this did actual happen.

People are texting in Today FM saying there was a riot in town last night involving Bohs and Rovers fans.RTE are saying there was a brawl in town last night.

Is there a free gift of OVERBLOWN OUTRAGE included in said pullout?

Not trying to stir the **** here lads just wondering why people are texting in Today FM.

Lads it says nothing about Rovers or Bohs in that Breaking News from RTE ! ! !

Apparently the BSC got ran all over the place before the game with even your average Bohs fan having a laugh at what was going on because it happended down near the Jodi stand enterance. Dont think to much happened thought.

I also herd after the game was much worse. And the BSC were armed with baseball bats, glasses and bottles but still got the sh*t kicked out of them down near jervis street.

loads of people decapitated I heard..........:rolleyes:

Sweep it under the carpet lads!!! It never happened!!!

Until some innocent gets badly injured.

And to think I was sitting out home bored off my trolley last night, I could've gone down to Supermacs and pulled up a window seat if I'd known. Bebo you fail me yet again :rolleyes:

None that i know of anyway.

WE SHOULD BAN EL FOOTBALL IMMEDIATELY.

It's obvious that young scobes never, ever fight with each other unless they have been attending one of the these league of Ireland match thingys.

I fail to see how this effects Galway Utd's dissapointing attendances.

Just go the full way and ban everything

ah typical EL fans. A Face,you can lock this or bin it again if you want. i forgot how blind EL fans were when it came to criticizing EL teams/fans.

for those who think this was just kids then you are so wrong its not even funny. i am someone who actually witnessed this,not 20 feet from my front door...it was grown men aswel as teenagers.
i know of lads who are "banned" from all EL games but long and behold they are there EVERY week in Dalymount (it just happens to be Bohs lads i know). Clubs need to take some of the responsability!

id well beleive Rovers ran all over Bohs as there was a few smaller groups of Bohs running through and 2 huge groups of Rovers.

but go ahead and sweep it under the carpet as per usual. british hooligans = scum. EL hooligans = what are ya on about? its only kids.

:rolleyes:

obviously im not sayin it is the sole reason why. people see this in the paper,tele,the net,hear it on the radio etc etc and think "jasus all the games must be like that". its the reason alot of people dont go to games. i myself watch any EL game thats on the tele and live close to a few grouds but dont go because of this.

i knwo not all teams are like this but why run the risk?

Sure why bother going outside your door at all.

I still havent seen any credible report that there was a riot involving supporters or Bohemian Football Club or Shamrock Rovers Football Club, I've heard chinese whispers of trouble in Dublin last night.

There is trouble in every town and city in the UK on a Saturday night, yet the EPL is one of the best supported leagues in the world.

This thread should be in off topic not eircom league IMO.
