Watched the second half and actually what jumped out was how bad the finishing from both sides was, and how that's often cited as the LoI's big weakness in Europe.Quote:

Rovers fans always say it's one or two idiots as they cause hassle up and down the country. Even trashing the jack's at FP at a club they are supposed to have a lot of respect for. Rovers fans themselves must be turning a blind eye, have more scumbags than they care to admit or are afraid of a section of their fellow fans.
Other clubs fans I believe would self police this in some way...I would be the last to praise Derry fans but a few years ago some of their little schoologans went for us outside of the ground as we were leaving. Some of their own fans chased them away and made sure that they were being c**ts in no uncertain terms. The fact that during the match the Rovers social media ignored the fact it happened tells a lot. Also there is a hell of a lot of rovers fans online glossing it over with the watts incident.
It's annoying as there will be probably zero tolerance to any pyro I would imagine moving forward despite the fact it actually does a better job at promoting the league than the FAI by adding to the atmosphere
Thanks for the victory Rovers btw

Eventually. That should have been put out last night but at least they have done it now.Quote:

To be fair though I haven't noticed them on the last couple of occasion Derry visit Finn Park

Some turn around for us. TO put it into perspective. We got 9 points from our last 3 games. In our 11 games before that we also got 9 points.
Mad season for us but so happy to get Europe. We need it just to have a chance to keep a pace with sugar daddies.

Not many of them about these days. We are cobbling together a team with loan players and youngfellas. The fact that it is working out is down to the hard work of SOD & Matthews.
Guards arrested two young adults. Following on from the incident last night. https://waterford-news.ie/2021/11/06...et-off-at-rsc/
That last incident was all Finn Harps doing in the 2-1 game and wasn’t given anywhere near the coverage it should have been Harps massively over sold the away end for that game… original announcement being that were would be 300 away tix.. and ended up with about 5 times that sold to derry for the same size of away end meaning derry fans had no choice but to spill en masse behind the goal onto a muddy hill that years before had been deemed unsafe there was several slips and a clean miracle FHFC didn’t cause a football fan a serious injury, absolutely criminal and they cared not a jot for the wellbeing of travelling fans only for a few euro so a few ripped flags that night was a miracle of an outcome and ita a good thing derry lost or behind that goal would have been a crime scene.Quote:

Two wrongs and all that DCWA. If there were dangerous circumstances especially over crowding the last thing needed is for that crowds misbehaviour, there is never justification. If overcrowding is an ongoing issue for Derry visits to Finn Park I presume DCFC have reported it to the FAI and so have been caught out on breaching safe holding capacity even up to last night! Have Derry supporters concerns been voiced to their own club too as there is a responsibility for personal safety too ie not attending a game that is unsafe.
There has been a large quantity of vermin traveling with Sham's in the Tallaght years and itQuote:

Probably isint his place to alright but it didn't stop him throwing in some sneaky updates on Shamrock twitter page though. Updates after the incident saying stuff like 'spark an attack' and 'dying embers'. Probably a coincidence :rolleyes:Quote:

I was shocked at the scenes from the RSC just when the loi is getting good publicity. Its typical that it always happens in Ireland . you never hear of this mayhem across the water at all.
Sad night to be a league of ireland follower. It will take years to repair the damage caused by last night.
First JD and now this.
The fact it was over sold does not excuse ripping down flag that someone or a group sent possibly hundreds on and trying to excuse it for any reason is absolutely ridiculous. But i guess that is the Derry way, a bad tackle on a former Harps player supposedly excuses the away dressing rooms being left like a rubbish heap. What is you excuse for the rest of the actions I listed that come directly from your following, did they get a dodgy burger or something?Quote:

I have no idea what the kid was thinking of. Like what was his plan? Bust the roof above his head?...... Also, reflects badly on Waterford security, no? I mean a firework repeater is a lot bigger than a flare, surly its fairly hard to be discreet about it.
I assumed the post you responded to was taking the ****.....I mean I hope so!Quote:

I almost, ALMOST, feel sorry for him. If he is dumb enough to let a repeater off under a roof in a crowd......what chance does this lad (or the two lads supposedly involved) have in life at all?
Mandatory IQ checks should be required for all away fans moving forward.
Aye, the people that would throw this up in due course would have just found something else as to beat up LoI with. It shouldnt happen at all but you see all out melees involving about 30-40 people at GAA matches relatively often, just happen to be players and staff and sometimes they have a clatter of sticks with them too, the outrage passes. There's no shortage of LoI people also, that circle like vultures waiting for something to happen and swoop in - you could predict in advance who and against what clubs too. If it was Dundalk Placid Casual would have injured him self in the haste to get online.
The err in this from SRFC is the delay in saying something for whatever reason. It does seem like not wanting to front up, maybe inadvertently admit liability, especially as someone was hospitalised and potential future litigation against Rovers/Waterford/RSC owners/if a company is used for stewards etc. Taking care to limit exposure to responsibility is the only reason that makes sense for the delay imo. The statement this evening can be dismissed by people as damage limitation with the furore and it nothing of the sort. Arguably the very late club statement has worked on some level as attention is more on Rovers lack of response than the incident itself. It's a grey area when an incident is caused by away fans and who should be responsible - how is a club really to blame for lapses in security of the host club. Yes, identify the culprits and ban them, but after that an away club can only condemn the behaviour of of the few morons (belatedly in this case) and state that there is a Garda investigation open.
But UCD would end up with the biggest travelling support then......Quote:

There’s no liability against Rovers…. That sits with Waterford; hope they have their public liability cover in place as if the injured fan has suffered an injury he/she will have a slam dunk case against Waterford/their security company .Quote:

I mean at least one club would benefit from it so it already beats any other major decision so far.Quote:

Bloodbath of a league. And RTE think there's nothing at stake because the title race isn't close. Imagine all these games were covered. There'd be plenty of drama and it covers the entire country.
I see Bohs are ahead , I kept getting an error message on loitv in the second half.
