The main question many are asking is why were they permitted to park their cars beyond the tunnel towards Glenmachan Street only to find a wall of riot police preventing them from returning to their cars when they came out. The police were telling supporters that they would have to do a 4 mile walk to get to their cars which were only parked a few yards away? Heated exchanges started taking place, mean while those intent on trouble were given their excuse to start on the police. Fans continued to stream out onto the road from the game with more and more argueing with police about getting back to their cars by which stage for some they were met with the response of a batton or a dog handler.

In the pre-match meetings the police had agreed that there would be no parking on that part of the road, yet they failed to even put out a traffic cone.

This does not excuse the behaviour of those who started the trouble but the police failures inflamed the situation.

As for the so called hijacking, one wag stole the keys from a lorry and ran off, it certainly was no hijacking!

Is THIS a pic of one of the wags. Didn't think they would do such a thing :mad: :mad:

The "trouble" started inside the ground, ie. before the Cliftonville fans left it - witness the damage inside the ground.:rolleyes:

That was sheer vandilism and not "trouble" and I equally condemn.

So, do you think people who indulge in unprovoked, wreckless acts of vandalism inside a football ground, were just walking home peacefully until they saw the horrific sight of PSNI officers in riot gear?

Or, do you think some of them might have been "up for it" ie. looking for a continuation of their days' wrecking?

:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

Yes I have no doubt they were up for it and when they got out of the ground and saw people already engaged in 'heated' to put it mildly, exchanges with police because they couldn't get to their cars they got their chance. As I said I condemn their actions.

You enjoyed being in amongst people who wrecked and vandalised a football stadium? Strange person but could be said that this is not unusual for a Rovers fan.

David, you've lead this thread down the path to pure crap with your stupid stereotyping. Keep this thread on the topic of the game or it will be closed.

Slagging apart there is nothing wrong with le cop Sportif tops, discounted baseball caps and Reebok Classics although i nor any of my friends would wear these brands, but did you really stop on the way home and go to Iceland ? Now that is naff NY you know Kerry McFaden or now Kerry Katona as she is known fronts an ad campaign for them try hyper value next time your up it is just as cheap as well so dont worry mate. ;) Also if you want to splash out on some new clobber for yourself i hear TK Max or TK Maxx is a place where you can get money off labels. ;) No Problem mate glad i could help.

If you think NY Hoop is a hoolie then your sad stereotyping is even more pathetic than at first glance.

As for the Sligo eejit, in my experience it's the clubs from culchie towns like Dundalk, Limerick and yes, Sligo that attract the hordes of unwashed scrots in LCS and Reebok.

Forgive me for being ever so slightly annoyed when there are thousands of pounds worth of damage done to my club's ground by people in the section NY Hoop is jokingly referring to. Rovers fans have been attending Cliftonville games up here for years and causing trouble, that is not generalisation, that is fact.
