"Those Bohs and Rovers geezahs are pwopa nawtae innit"

Guarantee they'll show some footage of violence at some English club like Luton's Kenilworth Road from many years ago as a way of making their point. Millwall maybe or Leeds Utd. I'm wonderfully excited at the notion of what they feature here.
4 minutes in and this already has the hallmarks of one of the worst programmes I have ever seen.
Who cares about wheeley bin's!!!
Good man Kev. Good summation of the opening. Cars on fire in Limerick then as a result of a 1-1 draw with Kildare County, that sort of stuff.
On a another matter with TV3 (They have always been one of my real pet hates in life) what are there audience figures like?. I'm imagining they have taken a terrible hit over the years but then again they do go in for that tug at the heartstrings s*ite that so many people seem to want to see.
Some idiots lighting up bins...! Jaysus what a sh!te programme!
Serious, do people get made to make this stuff?
I reckon half an hour on youtube, one of you boys to do a "voiceover" and a postgraduate sociology student and I could make a better show than this..........
For the love of God "Coming up in Part 2 (Cue grainy, not that dramatic, footage) We reveal how joyriding is making a comeback, thanks to the internet"
Can we suggest a ****** levy on stuff like this to help plug the hole in finances?
Here we go.
Ironic that yer man was speaking from Belfield?:)
The fact that they're taking most of it from Bebo gives it no credibility whatsoever...the voiceover reading the bebo comment was so comical.
this programme:rolleyes: cringe. so cringe.
shocking stuff
real good reporting by tv3 through the series. really indepth cultural analysis and really makes you sit back and think.... :p
"flower pot yokes!"
who the **** is doing the voice over?
I wonder do the hooligan hampers include flower pot yokes?
This is some pile of rubbish, but seriously the Rovers fans on the DART gave me a right laugh:D:D
hahahahhaha. the replys to the poll. hahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaha. sorry LMAO. that was hilarious. real hard hitting stuff.
and lol right wing groups in the LOI, most wouldnt even think that much to be right wing.
Tv3 must spend more time on Bebo then the average Irish teenager...:rolleyes:
In fairness he said nothing about right wing groups in Ireland, just mentioned UK and Europe in that regard. Who's yer man anyway?
Using bebo to show that there's hooliganism.:D They'll have some sort of actual footage after the break so we'll get to see if they actually have anything decent.
shut up baldy
Theres alot of scumbags at those Dublin derbies in fairness lads.
Senstionalist rubbish , lazy and ignorant broadcasting.
I dunno lads, I'll not be heading into Dublin on my own in future, some of those big crime bosses from bebo might be organising to beat me up in a riot.
Wonder would one of those hooligan hampers be a nice mothers day gift?
Really, really bad reporting, the entire footage is from you-tube and bebo.
Also, does anyone else see these "supporters" in any colours?
"One hooligan is using an umbrella to hit a rival supporter."
:D :D :D
Easily the worst thing I've ever watched on TV3...thank feck Dexter is on next so they can make up for it.
i like the way they portrayed loi as a relatively big deal though
At least your gauranteed violence in it, Dexter that is
Well I'm thinking I'm enjoying the updates more here than I would the actual programme. In fairness to TV3 they don't waiver in their consistency. Granted its consistently s*ite but its still consistent.
I remember living in Cabra and there wasn't a week when the bin wasn't blown up (particularly the ones with smily faces :D) or burned out and it wasn't League of Ireland fans.
Just a quick one lads
Will TV3 be sending out the "Instant retina repair kit" for having to watch that, or do you have to send in a voucher?
My two housemates(two GAAH heads) were in stitches laughing at the state of it.
Me too!
I was just thinking that, from the description, there was more violence in the thread on here about the supporters' bus being attacked by Pats fans last week than there was on that programme.Quote:

What clubs were mentioned?
Is their grounds to sue the program makers for the remark by that sociologist guy that "all LOI clubs have a hooligan problem":mad:.
Also i turned it on right after Scrubs and i had to laugh that they were showing that fight on youtube outside that pub that i had suggested would be on it earlier today:D.
A seriously bad show.
Seriously? I doubt they would. I guess UCD could make a pretty good case for defamation. There are probably a bunch of other clubs who could too. There's a danger it'd just highlight the issue for people. I don't think the average punter in the street thinks much of the LoI's hooligan problem. Or of TV3.
Clubs can't sue on the basis of defamation of their fans (who don't "belong" to the club in any recognisable legal sense.) They'd have to allege that there were formal links between hooligans and given clubs to run any risk of litigation.
Seriously? Section O are about as dangerous as The Baby-sitter's Club. Some kid talk tough on their bebo page?
They're businesses whose good name (and therefore income) is harmed by the allegation that they have a hooligan problem. I would that that where that's false, it's probably possible to win compensation for the allegation.
How do you prove its falsehood? Tesco couldn't sue me if I said a number of their customers were smackheads, alcoholics and paedophiles (which is almost certainly true), it's no different for a footballl club.
I was watching it there and saw the secion o reference. About time we had a bit of Biggin Up, we were getting tired of our endless attacks on rival fans getting no mention. No respect FCUK DA POLICE AND THEIR MA'S...Ohwait.... the sheer notion they inclide section o in the bull**** of that show. I actually think it is great. Few of my mates were watching it here we all fell about the place laughing and they are non LOI heads.
