Its quite humerous watching Shels flop so badly and Ollie and Roddy both continuing to burn their bridges... :D

"Quite Humerous "? Nice use of understatement there Luke. Friggin Hilarious I would have said.

P.S "Ollie Byrne is a football hooligan" classic chant.

$h€l$ and their stewards do NOTHING to stop anyone getting on the pitch.

Exactly, every time we're in Tolka a load of kids run on to the pitch after the game and quite often they throw stuff in the direction of the Rebel Army. The stewards just stand by and watch.

I think the fine thing was probably just made up by Brian Lennox (who's not exactly known for telling the truth) in order to make people think they'd be hurting the club by going on the pitch. In fairness, it has worked because it doesn't even cross City fans minds to run onto the pitch anymore.

Yeah, he's the head of these goons. I think his name is Derek(?), he's a big fella with a beard and does security at Ireland games too.

There was a City player saying that down in the Rochestown Park last night alright. Don't known if there's an element of truth there or not but no smoke without fire I suppose!

I don't think even Rovers fans are that stupid or brave!



I find this whole thing laughable. Fair play to the Rovers fans, it seems to me like they just celebrated their victory and rubbed it in a bit to the Shels fans but the Shels fans acted like sore losers (like everyone at their "club seems to do) and reacted badly to it.
As for Ollie Byrne, he does this kind of thing on a regular basis now. Sure about two years ago he tried to start a fight with a few City fans in the Tolka park bar. He's an absolute knacker who can't handle when things are not going right for him and decides to take it out on everyone else through physical violence.

Sly, Colm :cool: :) It has worked though. Only one in recent memory for me, against Dublin City ages ago. The guy in his boxers.

He is a joker. He'd want to get his own house in order prior to slagging off Rovers.

The worst streaker in the world ever! :D

When we were in Tolka earlier this season, a number off wee $h€l$ fans were firing stuff at us and attempted to tear a few of our flags and there wasn't a steward in sight :rolleyes:

from soccernet.com

"UEFA are to bring in a new code of ethics in September making clear that 'unacceptable behaviour by players or coaches, by word or action, will be subject to strong sanctions'.

UEFA will also instruct national associations what behaviour levels are acceptable from coaches, players and fans and to issue instructions to referees not to tolerate dissent."



I feel a few emails to UEFA will be in the pipeline ;)

Experienced Rovers scum fans again last night, was in town with a few pals and as we walked down dame st on the way home about 5 rovers idiots were picking fights whilst singin we ****in hate Bohs. I'd been out celebrating Bohs beating Gent and had my jersey and scarf on and the shower of idiots started trying to pick a fight with myself and about 12 other friends. We just told them to **** off and headed on home.

If these are the fans that Rovers are attracting at the moment then the club is in more trouble than I thought, these idiots weren't soccer fans they were scum, absolute scum.

For the second time in a week they invade the pitch, this time they go all the way upto the new stand throwing full bottles and everything they could find in, outside the ground they were swinging digs at people (Don't even try and deny this, I saw it myself) and as usual, the gaurds stand around looking at them doing absolutley nothing. No excuses this time, it was right after full time and there was no provocation from anyone, they simply did it because they're scum.

No doubt the usual crap will follow. Nothing happened! It was the other fans fault! It was the gaurds fault! It was people dressed in Celtic/Sporting Lisborn shirts! All of the usual crap we're sick of hearing at this stage. Will anything be done? Of course not. If they let them play in a league without a license they'll let their fans do whatever they like - again.

I'm not paying into a Shamrock Rovers home game again, it'll probably mean f*ck all to anyone in the long run but I'm not putting a cent into that club until they sort their fans out.

And I'm not making excuses for on the pitch, we were woeful, Rovers played well, if we had of nicked a draw it probably wouldn't have been an injustice but you can't begrudge the players the win.

Way to prove Ollie absolutley right.

youre behaving like a hysterical girl. yes there was a couple of bottles thrown, but some came from the new stand too. there were no punches thrown, dont know where on earth you came out with that, Rovers fans ran onto the pitch celebrating in front of the new stand.there were NO shels fans on the pitch, and NO rovers fan got into the crowd.it would have been a physical impossibilty for a punch to be thrown.Rovers fans taunted shels fans and that was that.

olly byrne cannot call anyone scum. the fat pig attacked Roddy before the game. oily attacking an amateur boxer who is also the brother of a former boxing world champion-this just proves how thick stupid and mentally unstable oily is. how on earth could he expect to start a fight with a boxer and expect to win??oily got 3 stitches to his head.hes lucky he didnt have to go to hospital for serious treatment.
i think Roddy is right in his assessment of oily, that hes cracking under pressure and its taking a toll on his health.Roddy even feels sorry for this fool. oily is a prime candidate for a heart attack if ever there was one!

the biggest scumbag in the league is OILY BYRNE and while he's running your club you have no right to attack any other supporters for their behavior. OLLY BYRNE IRELANDS NUMBER ONE HOOLIGAN

hes quite clearly a pats fan, theyre hardly the most sympathetic bunch towards Rovers are they ffs.
docs neatral pov was an accurate and fair assessment. now stop whinging like girls just because shels are freefalling down the table..and into huge debt.
olly byrne is a football hooligan!

Thats a low comment. I would suspect there is a rule but that the fine almost never imposed. Brian Lennox said he had 3 year play to win the league all signs are good. Said last year would get to 1/4 final of Inter Toto Cup & we did. As long as that record continues & he keeps funding City what more can we expect...

[QUOTE=Slash/ED]Well done the Rovers fans tonight, proved Ollie wrong about you being scum :rolleyes:

Never a true word spoken!! Not a simple thing done to stop the pitch invasion about 3 stewards on the whole stand. In fairness bottles thrown in both directions but no doubt how it all started!!

saw digs thrown to and almost one at their own roddy collins as he tried to get them back!!!

not saying this about all their fans but the selected few should learn to f3cking cop on!!

Pretty sly Colm, sneaking that in. :rolleyes:
I guess you think that constant repetition will makes it true.
Well, it doesn't.

Would it not been easier for these blood thirsty hooligans to just go around the side of the riverside and into the new stand, seen as people say there where f all stewards and the garda done nothing. Why bother hop 2 fences to get at someone when all you had to do was talk a short walk around to the riverside. PS How many Shels fans where hurt in the ground ?

Chill out ffs, it was only a throw away remark to try and outline the point I was making. As usual though, the same people jump down the throat of anyone who doesn't bow to saint Brian. :rolleyes:

I'm only speaking from my own personal experience and dealings and I firmly believe that I'm 100% correct in that comment. None of you can prove me wrong because I have witnessed a number of incidents of blatent lying to mine and other City fans faces. If people don't like that there's not much I can do about it and it's a bit unfair to dismiss me like that when you haven't had dealings with the man or witnessed any of these incidents.

Ok, I'll shut up now as it's pointless.

I'll try and put things as simply as possible here.

1. While all clubs have their share of troublemakers, Rovers seem to have a significantly higher proportion than anyone else, and the club should identify and try and rectify this problem.

2.Ollie Byrne has done a lot of good things for Shelbourne FC, but some of his actions in recent years have been totally and utterly unacceptable. He should do the honourable thing and resign before he completely loses the respect of the Shelbourne fans, who for obvious reasons, are the only set of fans willing to recognise the good work he has done. As things stand at the moment though, his attitude is poisonous to the growth of the club.

Any Shels, Rovers or indeed fans from any EL clubs want to dispute either of these points? Because it seems people are running around in circles here, when I reckon that if everybody looks at things rationally they will come to the same conclusions.

Well Done to the Owl. A fair response. A number of clubs have problems with fans, our biggest is not having enough. Rovers have had the worst section of fans, While also having some of the most loyal, well behaved and long suffering. There is a need for the club to sort these idiots out.

Ollie is a thug, short and simple. I know for some Shells fans he has done a lot of good for the club. But his continuous contempt for the game and for other clubs, officials and fans has no place in any professional game,.Its time for him to go or if he wont, its time for VERY heavy sanction by the league.

Its bad enough to have to get use to losing every week but I am sick to the teeth of having to trawl through mountains of posts on the interweb that rarely even go within a mile of the actual game. The Owl got it spot on there. I think that at the moment Shelbourne Football Club need to relax a bit and stop picking fights with every team in the league. Our clear lack of dealing with issues normally is only giving supporters who are bang out of order something to hid behind.

The stands were segregated by fences, which the Gardai and stewards obviously thought that was good enough, not think about the pitch as a route!!!
