Was that the Saturday Night cup game televised on TG4? Don't forget - some of our ground had been closed by Derry City Council at that time, and the stand and a very small section of the lone moor road end (where I was) were the only option available to supporters. Also, it was one hell of a miserable night to stand in the lashing rain for anybody that might have gone to it, as the seats had been taken up. I don't think we did too badly getting over 2000 in all things considered.

Philo, would "appreciating a bit of needle" include your club allowing a flag in memorial to a dead child having "BSC Angel" on it? That is beyond comprehension and ****ing sick!

Sam, why is it shameful to have just over 2,000 at a home match, most EL teams are struglling to even reach 2,000 at this time.

On another note, we give Shels abuse for not even having a bandwagon and then give clubs abuse for having a massive bandwagon. What do we want for football in this country?

In other ways Bohs are superb. Have never been to one of their games but their welcome towards us when we are in Dublin is in a class of its own. Drogheda too deserve a mention in having good relationships with other supporters. The guys that visited us were superb and I am aware they have also some close links with Portadown fans.

Thanks David ! Take note some of you Cork fans who think were scumbags :eek:

Brilliant, I can just see the headlines now " Football fans told to keep the noise down because hard of hearing stewards can't hear their radios" :rolleyes:

No - that's not part of it for me. I have nothing to do with the BSC and I don't know the lad who owns that flag but I do understand that he was absolutely devastated to lose his infant son to meningitis last year and that flag is his tribute. I am not responsible for the BSC, their members or some of their members' actions. Shall I blame you for the Derry fan stood on the jungle at the Brandywell who'd brought a carrier bag full of empty glass bottles purely to throw at David Jeffery? Will I blame all Drogheda fans for the hail of bottles and rocks we were treated to on leaving United Park last time up there? Get a grip.

Sorry if I'm not massaging the collective Derry ego here but I'm not exactly having a go either and as I've said elsewhere I do have loads of time for the Derry fans I know and always enjoy trips up to the Brandywell.

Not saying this didn't happen but care to tell us more?

Philo, if you were concentrating on your job on Tuesday, maybe you might have thought it wise to take down a BSC flag, tribute or not.... ;)

Kristic, there's no point in going over the incident as it's long over and nothing everntually happened. One bottle was thrown (vodka naggin) but Jeffery didn't react, he just moved so the dug out was between him and the thrower.

Rovers bloke, I didn't even notice that flag at the match. Why didn't you complain and demand its removal at the match? I suppose then you'd have nothing to moan about on the internet during the week. :rolleyes:

from a man who made a show of his club trying to attack his manager (then hid behind a girl, see the video on the bohs official site, its true :D ), you don't get to lecture anyone about moaning!!

Saying Philo tried to attack Farrelly is a libelous comment. Giving him a piece of his mind is hardly trying to attack, which implies some sort of physical assault.

Like I said, one glass bottle was thrown and Jeffery moved himself out of the line of fire. The lad who threw the bottle was with a girl and another young fella who were egging him on and they had plenty more bottles in a bag. If that had happened at Bohs, Rovers, Shels or Pats we'd be taken apart in the media and on the internet for our thuggish elements. :rolleyes:

How much do you pay for your acid? It must be good because you are obviously hallucinating. Hiding behind a girl? Post the time on the video where I do this "hiding".

A finger was pointed at Farrelly alright but there was no hand raised in a threatening manner and nothing was said that hinted at violence. I told him to get out of our club as he'd done more than enough damage.

You're a right laugh aren't you. :rolleyes:

You're the only laughing stock on here mate. We would have been completely torn to shreads had this incident occured during the Setanta Cup. It has never been mentioned before by or anyone else so care to mention why?

You response to the "BSC Angel" flag is typical Bohs. A flag like that would be ripped up if any City fan brought it to the Brandy so why don't supposedly sensible Bohs fans do the same thing? Why don't the board/members see it as the sickening glorification of casual culture that it is?
31/08/2006, 2:19 PM
Philo

I didn't mention it before because I didn't want to... what does it achieve once the moment has passed? I'm sure the lad with the bottles was just some local scummer out for Linfield only and not a regular DCFC fan. Most of those over on the terrace that day were not out and out City fans if they had been I'm sure someone nearby would have jumped in. One bottle thrown then the bag got put away as soon as Jeffery moved. That is FACT.

Maybe you should apply for the Head Steward position there so. From what I saw the other night your objectivity and professionalism are perfectly suited to the GAA.

Of course Cork would still get 20,000,000 for every home game even if they were in the Munster senior league

There's no relegation this season.
Just the FAI deciding that you don't meet the criteria to be in the new "Premiership" and dumping you back down where you belong.

:rolleyes:

ok lets all play peader's imaginery and unrealistic division one game.

considering cork could only get a couple of hundred fans when the fickle fans didn't travel as far as bishopstown, and their recent tax dodging/money problems and also their current high wage bill for a squad, and also a very highly paid no-longer playing member of the squad, do you agree that should cork city be in division 1, they would follow every other senior team in cork and go bust?

of course there is no way you'll be put in division 1, so all the above is clearly make belief, a bit like your own original wum :rolleyes:

the flag shouldnt be there for 2 reasons:

1: its downright wrong to associate the pool little fella with a group of hooligans in that manner. why not simply 'bohs angel'.

2: in the context of the game in hand, there should be no BSC flags flying. full stop.

yet again bohs as a club are soft on hooliganism and their fans will defend the BSC's right to mark their turf and provoke opposition fans, even if they have to abuse a childs memory to do it.

pathetic, but hey, thats bohs for you....

On number one I don't disagree, yes Bohs Angel would be better and I'd rather it didn't say BSC. However the flag belongs to the father. I very much doubt abusing his child's memory is his intention and the matter should be dealt with sensitively, not by ripping it down. On number two I agree in general but as I've said this is a sensitive case. Its not the same as say the display of the old BSC flag your Hoolies knicked.

On us being soft on Hooliganism - thats a joke. There are many hoolies in your 400 club, ones who are quite open about their activities too. I know a Rovers fan and 400 club member quite well who confirmed this and told me that this will never be sorted as long as they are putting money into the club.
In contrast, I think we've been dealing quite well with our hooligan problem. There have been bannings of known troublemakers on an ongoing basis. What are Rovers doing?

the point is not who is doing most or least. you are the only club in the land that officially sanction hooliganism by allowing these flags. despite the BSC being 'banned' in dalymount, the repeatedly and openly get to fly banners and flags. it is the exact same as the stroked tricolour, in fact more offensive because we are being asked to tolerate it by violins and heartstrings. i have every sympathy for the guy, but the flag is quite frankly sick.

its an innapropriate way of commemorating your child.we dont tolerate violent or self injurious responses to tragedy. i believe the headstone is the same story as the flag. you dont have to be a psychologist to read into that.

Never mind in the 400 club,some of the directors are scumbags and give a bad name to those who do great work and behave properly. Our director who got in trouble in limerick is as far away from a hooligan as you'll ever see but some of them are pure scumbags who talk about community spirit in tallaght and all the family initiatives at rovers and yet these c*nts have been giving rovers a bad name for years. I don't expect agreement from a lot of hoops on here but it's the harsh reality that these *****rs represent us,koh

If however he is of the green & white hooped persuasion i'd suggest he 'inform' himself of the true goings on at our club though as his innaccuracies are tiresome at best. If indeed he is a member he has the same access as us all to bring to the clubs attention any problems he may have in relation to the running of SRFC, no doubt any proposed solutions he may have to address these shortcomings would also be welcome for discussion.
