are you not allowed post or start threads unless you have a certain amount of post written???
yous give out about the brutal reporting on irish football every week yet now youre swearing by it with "if its not in the paper then it didnt happen"
i honestly didnt expect to be fighting my corner on mayhem caused by 300+ "fans" against you lot today who just seem to want to wait until someone gets seriously injured before anything is done.
the reason nobody else is putting this up is probably because where i live,i doubt many people use foot.ie and rovers or bohs fans are hardly gonna get on and say "oh yeh,hes right...we were killing eachother"
Nobody wants to see mindless violence on our streets, unfortunatley this is a social problem that we have to deal with. Your post is unsubstantiated gossip which you are saying is the reason why people dont go to watch homegown Football matches.
I fail to understand your contention.
and yet we didn't see a 25,000 page thread on how a load of trouble went on at the end of the Munster U-21 Hurling match the other week - resulting in a match official being verbally and physically attacked.
But sure - it doesn't involve the big bad wolf that is LoI soccer - so it doesn't get mentioned...
dont be such a fool,there is 1.5 pages. ok so what youre saying is that if its not in the papers then it didnt happen and nobody else gave out about the hurling so lets not give out about the football? i have nothing against the EL and watch it alot so get off your high horse and stop thinkin that everyone (me included) is out to slag off the league! im not!
Anyway I thought it was a great game last night, ( I would say that) I thought it was a great advertisement for the league, as there was a great atmosphere at it and Bohs played some great stuff on the deck with Fenn at the heart of it. Is this the same player that played under Connor last year.
300 people rioting? Surely we could come up with a credible news source if that happened and not a bunch of bed wetters ringing into Today FM about a scuffle?
Re: your newbie status, it doesn't stop you posting new threads, but ask yourself why we should believe you without a credible news source? You're not known around here so for all we know you could have signed up to post a thread to **** us off, it's not like it hasn't happened before
i agree.Quote:

I also stopped going to out to pubs and clubs - have you seen the violent CCTV footage??, again me stopping going to these venues has nothing to do with me reaching a certain age and having more responsibilities.
I also stopped working recently - have you seen how many fatal accident their are in the work place?? I mean it is madness. Again me giving up my job has nothing to do with me being a lazy tosser I am just petrified.
I recently stopped my children going to school because of the bullies, I just can't take the risk.
I also stopped them using the internet because of all of the paedo's out there....
I am looking to move house to a similar house accross the street so my kids don't have to cross the road and get knocked down by drunken drivers or joy-riders....
I refused a tetnis shot recently because I didn't want to catch Hepatitis from the needle...
I stopped going to mass as the priest was going to abuse me....
I stopped reading because I might go blind....
I better stop typing because there could be anything on this keyboard...
Why label these as Bohs and Rovers fans? And individuals involved in antisocial behaviour in the middle of town are scumbags and it's up to the Gardaí to sort them out. Do you expect Bohs and Rovers to employ security to escort people around town or do you expect them to run educational programs on the problems of football hooliganism?Quote:

funny post :rolleyes:
why would i waste my time trying to wind anybody up? im suprised myself that it hasnt made the news but you always say the EL gets no coverage dont you....maybe the fighting now doesnt either. im ragin now that i didnt record it myself on my phone...
this is obviously gettin me nowhere as people arent beleiving this happened at all and are mocking the fact it did. il come back when i have 1000 posts and see if i get any more credability then.
last post on the subject :
i "labelled" these clubs fans due to them actually wearing jerseys (very few of them in fairness). the only way i was able to tell them apart really was the the chants of "BOHS BOHS BOHS" and "ROVERS ROVERS ROVERS" along with "YOURE JUST NORTHSIDE KNACKERS,NORTHSIDE KNACKERS" from the Rovers fans aimed at everyone looking out from there doors,windows from the estate.
it is an anti social thing and there should be more done but i know of fans that are banned from all grounds by the CLUBS yet they are at EVERY game. whats the point in banning someone who they let back in??
also read on another forum that both sets of fans were let out at the same time? is this true? if so then someone should be sacked or something....i dont know this for fact though.
i am not saying you are making it up. i don't care one way or the other. you did however state that the fear of being involved in violence was THE reason you choose not to go to EL games. that sounds like a poor excuse to me.Quote:

Now your starting to sound credible.Quote:

Its endemic to Irish society.
Is there still not one report on this 'incident' yet? Its 12.20 now that day after it is meant to have happened and no news on it?
To date, its one person saying that various groups of fans were walking together near the ground with Gardai escorting them. Someone spat at a little girl and called her names. There was lots of chanting.
Is there anything else here?
1000 posts could take a while. Go to an actual game and post back then.Quote:

And again, if anyone has any issues with incidents that occurred last night, please report them to your local Gardai in effort to address the problem.
Well then split the thread and post the bits about the trouble in rubbish and leave the bits about the game in the this forum and that way Bohs V Rovers will be about football which was the main point of last night and it was a good game with a few good goals.
You have just witnessed a big fight between Bohs & Rovers scumbags. Why does that stop people from going to Turners X, Terryland, Brandywell, Richmond Park etc???Quote:

In short, stop making sweeping statements about eL fans when you are really only talking about two sets of fans.
Again more stereotyping, when a few people question the validity of your claims.Quote:

Apparently the two sets of fans were being led down the road by Lord Lucan who was riding Shergar whilst Elvis sat behind him singing a few songs of incitementQuote:
