Trouble in the Shed

well, I've just read the report on the incidents in tonights echo,
Positives
-"Cork City will immediatly move to crush any young troublemakers in the Shed"
-Brian Lennox: "we will not tolerate that type of behaviour and there is no way we will allow a minority like that spoil a good nights football for our genuine supporters"

Negatives
-they mention that bottle and coins were thrown, they neglect to mention that people were hit in the head by the coins.
-they also failed to mention that people were assaulted and that genuine City supporters were verbally abused throught the second half.

I can't decide whether it was a good or a bad thing that this even came out in the paper because if it's public knowledge it may dicourage decent people from coming to future games.
Also, I think calling these scumbags hooligans is giving them too much credit.

Agreed. Also saying that they will "crush young trouble makers in the shed" gives the impression that it´s the only part of the ground that has problems. No double standards- no messing- sort it out

i am one of the girls that colm mentioned earlier that was hit on the head with coins.i went home from the game saturday night with a bruise on my arm and a few on my leg after being,pushed and kicked before being thrown backwards down the shed.luckily for me another supporter caught onto me before i landed on the ground.ive been going into the shed for four years and ive never ever had a problem with the people in there until this season.it wasnt too bad before the pats game but that night a little guy tried to hop onto me cos i said excuse me and tried to get past him.its a disgrace that our fellow "supporters" feel the need to start fights among themselves and drag other GENUINE supporters into it.only a few weeks ago a fella standing behind me in the shed told another supporter that if he didnt shut up he'd stab him.not sure if it was actually a knife he had in his hand but sure.
SCUMBAGS OUT!!!!!

Well Erika, you should be complaining long and loud to BL.
You've put a lot of time and effort into City and you don't have to put up with this kind of crap.

Look here to see what Rovers are doing with their morons.
