Found it incredible that for years Sligo didn't appear to do anything with this individual and group of clowns despite the fact they were well known for causing trouble

Generally don’t sit anywhere near them except on away trips but seems to be a new brand of trouble the last while. Arriving in dressed in black and snoods hiding their face and the likes. I’m sure they’ll mature and be replaced by likewise.

Derry lads random attack on a couple of people in Sligo is I think what you’re on about. I doubt our lads would be brave enough to start anything up in Derry.

I never associated a scum aspect in the Sligo rovers support at all so Im shocked. Didnt even think there was a hatred between Galway Utd and Sligo Rovers.

Fair enough, the few incidents in Derry and the Sligo fans being started on kind of merged in the swiz cheese memory. Still, its fooking annoying that its any part of things at all here as idealistic as it may be.

Hope this is accessible outside the UK, but BBC Radio's "Business Daily" programme last week covered the topic of LED Stadium advertising in sport:

Being broadcast on the BBC World Service, this covered sport worldwide eg US Ice Hockey, IPL Indian cricket and Australian soccer etc. However it also found time to speak to a company based in Dundalk which promotes this business, with a visit to the Brandywell on matchday thrown in for good measure! (Programme is only 15 mins long btw)

It’s unfortunate the kids couldn’t behave themselves in what otherwise would have shone a positive light on the league.

Can we agree to not sanitise and glamourise these sorts of d!ckhead scumbags by calling them "lads", please?

I prefer the phrase 'schooligans'.
