The pic was lifted from a Facebook page.It was blackened out by whatever thick decided to post it as "Rovers fans do nazi salute in Tel Aviv".The thread is only dying now because Rovers fans decided to defend themselves from assumptions made by the usual suspect(s)

Or are their facist profiles on the shams forum a **** take too?
And their profiles on st0rmfront are just furthering the joke?
And the racist chanting against Ndo and Boco are almost the topping of the joke?
With the topping being the "relationship" Shams fans have with the "Irish Clan Roma" (I suggest googleing some of their lets say colourfull political beliefs).

Perhaps you'd like to link to all these fascist profiles on the ultras forum? I notice you did use plural so I'm sure you will be able to provide many examples from the 2000 registered profiles on that site.

As for the photo posted here I also know the lads doing the Roman salute and they are far from right wing nazis believe me.

Time to go back to arguing about wheter its possible to use public transport from Tallaght to Phibsboro so.

So after 5 pages its been concluded that Shams fans are not intelligent enough to get more than one form of transport to the other side of the city.

Pathetic? Its pathetic alright that a group of grown men would have their photo taken in nazi salute. Thats whats pathetic. And mypost trying to pass this off as people simply raising their hands is pathetic. And the picture of the Bohs degenerates doing the same thing is pathetic.

Whats it got to do with the thread? This thread is about scummy Rovers fans. Best place for it in my opinion.

No, no emails to SARI, Hula, and no emails to SARI from me when a group of your fellow Rovers fans racially abused Joey Ndo either.

no, i think its closer to Shams fans not being intelligent enough to recognise that just because theres no direct bus from Tallaght to Phibsbrough it doesnt mean that a group of hooligans cant figure out another way to do it.

While conclusions are being drawn, has anyone actually worked out what Rovers are supposed to do to prevent trouble in Phibsboro 5 hours after a match in Tallaght?

You don't think any Bohs fans are genuinely interested or concerned in that now do you? :eek:

I doubt they could tell you what day 'the event' happened after about 44 posts or so..

What I will defend is the picture taken in Modena as I personally know 3 of the lads and none are what you could call right wing.As for the link with the Irish clan.i know nothing about them so cant comment.There is a few Rovers fans who attend Roma games.Cant say I'd regard any of them fascist.
"Relationships" is a very loose word and must be treated carefully.eg,One fan could be on ********** with a Rovers avatar and this could be taken as having a "relationship" with fascists.I'm a republican!Does that mean Rovers fans now have links with the IRA??
Most people who attend Rovers games wouldn't know what "Irish clan" means!

Yup all fair enough.
But from the outside it does seem you have an unsavoury minority attaching themselves to your club.
Shams is obviously not a facist club or any of that nonsense but it does seem a small minority with some ropey beliefs follow Shams.
Theres nothing you can do about that but when it starts rearing its ugly head with racist abuse etc surely then these clowns must be told where to go.
Nobody wants to see it fester, especially in this economic climate.

Yes pathetic, pathetic that you would lift that photo off facebook spend time blacking out faces and then post it here hoping to start your little smear campaign against Rovers. Sad. Disingenuously saying it was from Israel when you lifted it from an album of Rovers fans in Italy is pretty pathetic too.

That's like blaming Manchester United for the behaviour of Bertie!

What's pathetic is the litany of excuses used by Rovers fans. Roman salute my eye and even if it is why do it in Modena? Did you accept the "It was The Red Hand of Ulster Salute" excuse of the Linfield fans? The worrying fact is that from the situation you had ten years or so ago when there were antifa SRFC Ultras stickers about town, you now have people on your forum with righ twing avatars, youtube videos proving a small minority of your support was involved in giving racial abuse to Joey Ndo that only you lot can't hear and now a group of Rovers fans giving the Nazi...Sorry..."Roman Salute" (honest guv). You've gone way beyond plausible deniability at this stage. Now no one is calling Shamrock Rovers FC racist or Fascist but pointing out that there is an element which is thankfully in the minority at this point that should be weeded out before it gets out of hand. Surely that is something all sane Rovers fans should want to do and far from it being a smear on your club, acting on the problem would show you up in a good light.

If you look at the pic from another angle you can see the Rovers fans are just saluting someone across the road.

no, i just lifted the fine work of someone on the Bohs forum. You and your mate mypost can deny and deflect this all you want or you can condemn it. I thought you would have done so by now instead of trying to pin the blame on someone for bringing it to light. But then again, after the denial of the Joey Ndo racial abuse, im not really that surprised that your using the same tack again.

Of course there hasn't been any more on it. The people inolved will be up in court in a couple of months. Other than Busses and Taxis an easy way to get from Tallaght to the establishment in question is get the Luas to Smithfield and walk ten minutes. The incident happened around seven ffs. There was more than enough time to get there. The fact that I was well and truly on the road to drowning my sorrows in a nearby establishment can vouch for that.

Ban them, much like Bohs fans destroying a pub in Derry were banned.

There's a considerable difference. Your lot were in Derry for a game played in Derry. Compatibility.

People were involved in an incident in a North Dublin pub, after allegedly being at a game held 20 kilometres away several hours earlier. Incompatibility.

So the Rovers chants might have been just a trick to smear the club?

A difference between starting a fight in a pub and going in armed with planks and bats chanting "Rovers, Rovers" and doing a bit of redecorating.
