Bizarre.

You make it sound like having 1-200 away fans cross country is a bad thing!

Not at all.

Take away bohs and pats and and I doubt we'll ever see 100 let alone 200 sligo fans in tallaght for a long time,unless of course the aviva is flooded and you need Tallaght for another cup final when your vast amount of sunshiners head east for a day out shopping/supporting

---

I was in Tallaght there the same day Ireland were playing Armenia and we had at least 100 at it so that point is redundant. Also the fact that you are not comparing like with like, we have to travel alot further than Shams fans in a season and also we have games on a Saturday, not a friday.
Secondly a Shams fan calling our support sunshiners?? That is just comical, oh Model Club oh Model Club could you please explain to me how you were getting 700 in Tolka and now 3500 in Tallaght?? Shams fans are the biggest sunshiner bandwagon supporters in this country. *que some good auld Model Club historical revisionism.
Aye there may be a few going for a bit of shopping aswell, hopefully it wont lead to any acts of hooliganism, racism or general scumbagness.

When was the last post actually about the cup semi final ?Ive seen threads closed for less.

In fairness to the poor souls, they've made it about 10 pages on umbrellas and 20-30 peopledoing pretty much nothing - they're probably getting desperate at this stage

i preferred when the rovers fans boycotted foot

I preferred when they boycotted Rovers.

Surely Gary Rogers deserves some sort of award for that save? Tremendous athleticism.

Had to laugh at the Rovers fans with the Umbrella's, they were screaming at the Pats fans and then shat themselves at the sight of the big blonde lady coming after them, hilarious.
Hooligans me arse, the guys involved there were like typical mouths who sit in the pub claiming to have huge genitalia when in reality they haven't developed since puberty.

Also, Sean Connor's reaction to Galways third goal was fookin' priceless, you would almost think he didn't like Bohs.

Fair play to Colm Foley. Whatever about the wrongs or rights of the trouble on the night. There are newspapers that give our league little to zero coverage unless there is a problem.

I was looking across the goal as he made the save, couldn't believe it then, looks even better on TV. I've never rated him before, but he's been the best keeper in the league this season by a mile.

Very sane approach alright, even picking out the 4 or 5 involved, than the 20,000 reported here and elsewhere - even Collins was reasonable, mentioning the stewarding.

Unfortunately some of the ****s on this forum have the same mentality as the newspapers. Once the words Shamrock Rovers are mentioned things get blown out of all proportion.

With so few involved I have no doubt that shams will identify and take appropriate action (IE long bans - not banned today back next week as with guy that abused Simon Webb) ?

The point consistently made on here was not that all Shams = bad (most of their support are real LOI stalwarts), but that the club has consistently failed to address an increasing problem assosiated with an element of that support. If the stewarding at other grounds (and Tallaght) was the problem then how come it works OK for every other team ?
Stop making more and more bizarre excuses and encourage your board to take proper action

Where's the bizarre excuses? Even chief Boh himself (and not coincidentally) at the game said the stewarding needed to be better. To say nothing of the fantastical 200 people involved.

Right, Rovers...find and ban the lad out of 4,000 in the ground with a black hooded jacket, jeans and a black umbrella with his back to the camera. Can't be many of them going around on an Irish winter's night!

You're talking through your gick pipe there...people in glass houses and all that...

Well thats not true for starters, but you just keep firing ahead with your nonsense.
Are the Kingsley Curry court whingers still barred from Bohs, or the Granny basher from Austria? Be honest now.

That's not true. The other clubs simply don't give us as many opportunities blow things out of proportion. Rovers fans have too high an opinion of themselves if they think that other fans are so preoccupied by them.

interesting point.
is that what bothers you all so much?
Its not that Rovers have too high an opinion of ourselves , we just believe we are following the best club in Ireland .and we find it amusing and twee that anybody supports anybody else, anywhere!!.
even when plasterer-rod relegated us we still felt we were better than all of you.
thats just being honest by the way- i'm not trying to wind you all up.

The evidence speaks for itself fionnsci, whenever there is any sort of incident involving Rovers it gets huge threads here and elsewhere aswell as all the media coverage, however when incidents happen at other clubs it doesn't get half as much attention.
