I wouldn't give this guy the time of day, as that is an out and out lie!! and I think he should be banned from this form. You can't just go making up stuff as serious as golf ball throwing, that could kill someone.Quote:

The second one was more a case of relief where Bohs had basically laid siege to the Bray goal & having created & failed to take so many chances you just couldnt see Bohs scoring. I thought Bohs fans merely celebrated amongst themselves & didn't see what Steve claims happend. Not saying it didnt happen by the way.
Did Steve see Devlin kick the ball into the stand in injury time to try & kill a few seconds that might be why some fan might have went over to the Bray side of the ground.
Also I think its Bohs get fined not Bray.
As I said Donlon I'm only going from what I've been told by other fans!Quote:

Roo is a mod and wouldn't make up lies like that, he knows the rules more than any on here. He is also a club rep and knows what goes on behind the scene. Sorry BohsFans but your a newcomer here and you haven't made the best of starts on this forum, cop on. :mad:Quote:

Just not right at all! C'mon the league is constintly put down for alot of things, lets not bring it's name down anymore.... :rolleyes:
What are ya on about... You know what happened, OR DO YOU????????Quote:

Maybe something about it on EL weekly.... But it's going to be Harsh if we are punished for a silly thing Bohs fans did, and there was no need to for it.... Ah it's all history though, but another thing that will go down in the books of hatred towards bohs fans. :rolleyes:
From the footage on EL Weekly, seemed to be 1 or 2 people on the pitch alright after our winner on Friday night :D
Firstly, I'm far from new here, have been reading this board for ages, only a new poster.Quote:

Ball balls and bottles me ******!! that's like me coming on here and saying a Bohs fan in a wheelchair was punched and abused by Bray fans. You've shown yourself to be the idiot you are and your claims were defo not backed up by el weekly!!
Fair play to Noel King :D of course its a big conspiracy theory against Bray, get a life tarzan :rolleyes:
Actually, BohsFans, did you see the footage on EL weekly? It certainly looked like at least one of the stewards on the pitch got flung right out of the way by the on rushing crowd and knocked to the ground...
There were tonnes of people on the pitch, I hope Bray don't get fined for this, nothign they could do. To be fair, they were probably just trying to rob the chipper van on the opposite side :p
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: See it through your Bohs eyes.......Quote:

Several of the stewards were threatened as well, or what about the female steward that was knocked over when the Bohs fans invaded the pitch ? i suppose that ok as well.
After watching it on eL weekly again last night it made me even angrier the way King and the others were saying it was great to see such passion etc...... are they for real ? i can just imagine if that had of been Rovers fans, every single person involved in the eL would be on lashing them out of it for there behaviour !
Another thing is that we spent a hell of a lot of money a few seasons back putting in a sprinkler and drianage systems, we dont need thugs trying to ruin it on us by dancing all over it !
I was surprised. We only played Bohs a few weeks ago and their fans were well behaved. The scenes were appalling. They score an equaliser in the middle of the match and they invade the pitch? :confused: It looked dangerous, some people looked to be bundled over in the frenzy at the end. I was watching it with my brother a non-eL fan and it was embarrassing. Then King said something to the effect of it showing at least people bother going to games. :rolleyes:
Noel King is the biggest W+anker ever.... I can't believe they were laughin about it :mad: The scenes last friday don't need to be seen in the EL, ever. Lets hope it doesn't happen again. You'd wonder why the F-uck they had to celebrate on the pitch anyway :confused:Quote:

This matter has been inflated beyond proportion, to the point where it is getting more board time than real violence against Linfield fans at the weekend or the deeply offensive racist and sectarian chants indulged in by some, and certainly not all, of the northern support at the Setanta final.
In another thread on this board, Bray fans also contributing to this discussion have been able to recognise, quite rightly, that the majority of Linfield people conducted themselves with maturity and dignity as well as putting on an impressively passionate display. That despite the seriously offensive nature of the idiot rump of their support.
Why the double standard? Why not the same distinction applied to a pitch invasion? Why the need for feeble and unsubstantiated allegations of assault and missile throwing?
In earlier threads on this board, I have seen contributors from other clubs nominate Carlisle as the worst ground for that most annoying of EL phenomena, feral kids on the loose. I agree with our embarrassed student friend (does his brother endorse pitch invasions in EP or rugby?) that this is one of the most off-putting features colouring the experience of EL football, either live or on television, and that clubs and stewards should do more to control it.
Similarly, I do not agree with King and Scully's smirking approval of the pitch invasion: it shouldn't have happened, other Bohs supporters demanded that they get back to their seats, and Bohemian players also asked them to go back. But I do think you need to get things in perspective, and you cannot ignore home factors such as the provocative and irresponsible actions of your manager in kicking away the match ball to waste time and the woefully inadequate stewarding.
If you can't treat this matter consistently and in proportion, it might just be that, as suggested elsewhere, you have another agenda.
Condescending? Why? Because I reckon invading a pitch in an away game with significant enough numbers during a match for an equaliser was dangerous and made the league look crap? I pointed out your supporters were well behaved when they came to us. I am not trying to tar your club.
Couldn't agree more. It was absolutely cringeworthy the way he said that "at least they're going to the games" What an absolute idiot! :mad:Quote:

Didn't see any of the footage but I'm interested in why the stewarding is being blamed for a pitch invasion? Do you blame the guards if you get mugged? If the fans behaved themselves then you wouldn't need any stewards.
It seems to me that it's the same as every other crowd incident in the EL, and you can check that thread on Dan Connor for my thoughts on it. Slapping a couple of hundred euro fine on a club isn't going to make a blind bit of difference except to convince supporters of that club that they're victims of a conspiracy (when everyone knows that they're all out to get Waterford :D ).
If the EL is serious about stopping this behaviour then the fans have to be punished with bans from games. Unfortunately the EL isn't serious about it so I don't think anything will change.
