But congratulating them for just acting as fans should is a bit ridiculous imo
The Rovers game is always the best atmosphere, given their trials and tribulations I think they deserve the title of best fans.
The least to expect of a set of fans is to not cause trouble. Thats every set of fans not just Rovers.

Now I'm off to wash my mouth out after that remotely pro rovers comment.
They raised 4 grand towards a dialysis machine for Waterford Regional Hospital with a cake sale before the game.Quote:

You were congratulated for not causing trouble, and making an atmosphere......Quote:

Nothing about blinkers, Id say the same if it had been about Derry fans. They regularly travel, don't cause trouble and create a great atmosphere.
To me it even comes across as a bit patronising to Rovers fans, 'Fair play, ye didn't even cause trouble'. Yes ye have an element that sometimes cause trouble but surely highlighting any time they don't is counterproductive. The majority of the time they don't. This makes it seem as every game bar this one ye caused trouble.
Anyway, it doesn't matter,it's just a thread. I won't post again on it, enjoy it!
