My question is if this did happen, with 2000 people at the Game why no video or photo of the flag on fire
Harps supporters gave photos to Gardai of lads throwing flares etc

Dunphy also weighed in on the troubling scenes in Sligo this weekend, as Shamrock Rovers made a winning start to their SSE Airtricity League Premier Division season against the Bit O’Red.
A Sligo flag was set on fire during the game,
while a small section of travelling fans chanted: “We’re Shamrock Rovers, we’re burning your flag.”
There were also reports of advertising hoarding having been damaged and skirmishes in the away end.
“I think zero tolerance is what you have to have,” Dunphy said.
“I was at Millwall in the mid-60s when this football hooliganism, as they called it, started, and the police were very tolerant and civilised with the people responsible, and it grew and it grew.
“You’ve got to crack down on it from the beginning and have no tolerance for it whatsoever, no matter what you have to do; close grounds, prosecute people.
“Once you let it grow and show the slightest bit of tolerance, then it becomes a fetish.
“Guys who wanted to cause trouble - no interest in football - they turn up at the match, there’s a prospect of a fight or trouble and they love that.
“You’ve got to be very, very tough.”
