Trouble at Doyles corner apparantely, probably the usual kids
Maybe Hunter was confused with those hooped Celtic supporters from the O'Connell St riots?
:o
ok back on topic. just listened to the show http://www.rte.ie/2fm/ryanshow/rams/2007/23feb.smil
Hunter comes on about 1:15 into the show. and at about 1:24 he states that elements of a certain soccer club (unruly members) are involved.
Gerry pushes him and then he states it's rovers and Gerry states members of shamrock rovers supporters club.
Much as I dislike the idiot hunter I think Gerry Ryan needs to be taken to task on this as he says members of the supporters club.
I'll be amazed if nothing gets done about this.
So what was in Wednesdays Mirror, page 15?
That Hunter fella claimed he was on a BBC radio show earlier in the day talking about the Anthem being played and possible trouble. He may have mentioned Rovers on that too.
Didn't read it myself but I 'm told it was Hunter himself!
I hope Rovers kick Hunters ass on this.
Hope he ends up forking out 1000s in legal fees and in settlement payments!
Whats the odds if it gets to court that Hunter will want to represent himself!?
But as someone else said RTE have him on speeddial ... sad but prob true!
bhs
Gerry Ryan did not announce Hunter as a representative of anything or anyone.
Hunter did suggest that the Mirror said Rovers fans would be joining a SF protest intent on causing trouble. Gerry Ryan repeated this & never challenged the accuracy of that.
That would seem to suggest a precedent that anyone can get onto 2FM & make outlandish claims without any proof.
:rolleyes:
I remember now why haven't listened to Gerry Ryan in 10 years. His standard ploy on slow news days is to get someone to basically windup listeners. I suppose it worked for Dunphy in his Indo days too.
and got a reply saying my complaint was forwarded to the head of the program,a siobhan hough, and also to the head of sport at rte too.so at least they took some notice of it.
Looks like someone's been drinking Maxi's spare petrol...Quote:
Bohs had the cheek to sing "your only a small club in scotland" ???? last time I looked Pittodrie was in far bigger and better shape than ****mount. dopes also had their "big club" flag up???? Newsflash for bohs: EVEN DUNDALK ARE A BIGGER CLUB THAN YOU!!!!
Wonder what odds Paddy Power would give me on that - probably about the same odds of Italy winning the Six Nations, Ireland winning the Cricket World Cup AND Shels winning the Champions League all this year...Quote:
if rovers were playing aberdeen would there have been trouble? the answer is no! we would probably be having a few pints with them after tha match etc.
Guys,
Just out of interest has there been any response from RTE wrt the complaints made?
Expect to hear something about this in the near future, SRFC have been working behind the scenes in relation to clearing this up!

Good news from Rovers - let's show those muppets we mean business when they try to pick-up ratings through knocking our league.
On the Huinter issue - the bottom line is that he is able to perpetuate the myth of his position in the absence of any alternative.
If there was a fan body that could present itself to the media as a credible and genuine alternative, then he would find himself being slowly pushed into the obscurity he deserves.

Steve,
There was a post about starting one.......
They are as representative as people want them to be. Open membership, publically announced AGM... what do you want a supporters organisation to do? Ring you up to get your opinion?
There was, and I suggested we stick with one in existance. If you keep starting anew, you never get anywhere. NLSA meet with the FAI, have press contacts since the tickets scare and have a LoI bent. A new organisation would have exactly what?
I know - and you know that I know, as we both contributed to it ! :D
I'm happy to do whatever I can do for any fan body, but seeing as I'm London based there is little I can do to get one started (I tried with the NLSA, and that hasn't progressed to most people's satisfaction).
Is there anyone based in Ireland genuinely interested in setting up a fan body (a request, not a question) ?
I think SR need to tackle the real issue of crowd behaviour and stop tilting at windmills.
