Well it's the same BSC that seem to be made perfectly welcome at Dalymount - and can - for example - hang whatever banners they like, wherever they like.Quote:

A group of teenagers [presumably] on a Monday night threw a few missiles at a few hoops on a bus and beat up one or two other hoops on the street.
I really actually dont give a ****, the same way you didnt give a flying fukk about 50-60 Hoops, in jersies/scarfs etc attacking 3 busloads of Bohs fans outside Richmond Park in September 2003. Back then I remember you and the rest of the great unwashed claiming it was a public order issue so I suggest you go the nearest cop shop to Dorset Street and whinge to someone there.
khoop, they are not welcome in Dalyer and thats the main reason a lot are barred.Quote:

I don't hear of many Hoops turning up in Phibsboro and Cabra at your home games looking for "something to do".Quote:

I got the 16 bus to Tolka last night and was lucky that I got to the bus stop earlier than I intended. It's not just about Rovers fans getting a dose of their own medicine (the fans that got injured could quite possibly have never caused any trouble, not that if they did it would be acceptable), it's about innocent people being put in danger because of some scum.Quote:

I have no problem in condemning previous incidents involving Rovers fans and do not use the 'public order excuse'...because most incidents are directly related to a Rovers game for example, Rovers were playing Bohs in Richmond that day.
This is different. This is about public order. It would be like Waterford fans attacking Cork fans at a Cork-Cobh match. Or Sligo fans at a Harps-Derry match. It's preposterous. But it is happening. It is nothing like what has happened at previous Rovers matches. This is the proof it's happening. It no longer matters whether there's a derby or who Rovers are playing...it's no longer under any restrictions.
It was Rovers v. UCD, ffs on a Monday night.
I'm not surprised by this one bit. This Bohs shower have been at many of our games this season and last. They were even at our midweek game V Cobh ffs :rolleyes:. However, there's no need to have started this topic as it's going to achieve nothing.
It is disgusting that this kind of thing is going on. It's a cancer on Irish football and only harms the clubs involved as well as the league, not to mention the innocent victims. One can only hope the scum involved face the full rigour of the law.
the fan wasnt attacked at the match or even outside the ground as youre implying. He was attacked in the city centre by scumbags who claim to follow Bohs although many/all of them probably cant get into the ground anymore. Theyre just using the Bohs name as a vehicle to attack Rovers fans.Quote:

What are SRFC and Rovers fans doing about their own element? What have they done already to fix the problem? Its all well and good coming on here pointing the finger trying to score points but you should look closer to home yourselves.
And BGR has a point - live by the sword, die by the sword. I remember the days when Rovers fans came onto our message board laughing at the BSC for running away, never get a result against the Rovers etc etc. Now it seems these f*ckheads have accepted the Rovers challenge. Do Rovers fans deny all responsibility for what this rivalry has become?
My sympathies go out to the kid, truly. I hope that Rovers fans felt the same way about the kid standing close to me who got his head split open with a brick outside Richmond. It doesnt hold any water with me that this was at a derby game (as if that justifies it in some way?). Both acts are equally reprehensible.
Rovers asked Bohs to comment. We have. My question to you lot is simple - what do you want us to do about it? Please tell me cos id love to know what it is that Bohemians are doing wrong.
agreed.Quote:

This is innocent people getting attacked for simply following their team. Secondly a public bus was attacked endangaring men and women, old and young. Why should they suffer?Quote:

Why do BFC allow BSC to freely fly their flags in Dalymount?Quote:

I agree there is very little that clubs can do about so called fans outside of the stadium and surrounding areas. It is up to the Guards and they should come down on these skuts like a ton of bricks. I hope this clears things up a bitQuote:

There was no legitimate or justifiable reason for BSC/BSS or whoever it was to be there last night other than lying in wait.
How sad do you have to be to lie in wait for your 'rivals' to come home from a match v UCD? How bad does it have to get?
bullsh*t. You cant selectively quote my post like that and ignore the rest of that paragraph and the question that follows.Quote:

The second part of your post is hypothetical and pointless. To be honest i wouldnt care if we got all the Bohs scum and all the Rovers scum in a big room and let them kill each other. In fact id be pretty happy.
Saying they did it first and pointing the finger?? Please! Im just pointing out the irony of Rovers laughing at Bohs for years for "running away" and then crying when these absolute scumbags accept the Rovers challenge. Its a bit cheeky to say the least.
So what about the rest of my post? What do we do about it Dman? Whats the solution? I want rid of this crap as much as you do.
Okay, so say we stop them flying flags. What then? Does that solve it? Does that take it off the streets? Is that even really an issue? Ridiculous post. Answer the questions in my post, show that you really care about what can be done to stop this and ill take you seriously.Quote:
