You started off by claiming the whole league was at fault for this "riot". And you ignored my questions directed at you in an earlier post.Quote:

its obvioulsy not the ONLY problem,there are many im sure but this would be ONE of them and a big one i would imagine. feeling safe going to and from a match should be a necessity. i wasnt aware i had to be so specific on EVERY minute detail.Quote:

(see Jebuses "hilarious" post below)
ok i will change my statement there to suit your specific needs : "to my knowledge,Bohs are the only ones who let these fans into their grounds after banning them" was that PC enough for you?
alot of people on this forum have a major issue with me being new to it. what exactly is the problem? keep in mind i provided another forum with a rovers fan who saw this incident build up before heading home a short way away form where it happened. 2 people on here have also said they saw trouble and i also got a PM from one saying they beleived me it happened.
others have got on to say how stupid some peoples responses have been...has anyone replied to these? nope.
lads grow up and face the music that it is club(s) responsability to ensure fans are safe in the facinity of the ground. this would include fans NOT leaving at the same time and tighter security on banned fans. i dont think this is too much to ask do you?
i suppose the one good thing i have gotten out of this is that i now have alot more post to my name which should help me the next time i dare express an opinion.
This thread is weird. I'd say there probably was a row where Newbie lives last night, involving people who would CLAIM they are fans. You don't have to get so defensive about it lads. We know there is scum going to the games. It's a very very small minority tho and when stuff like this happens away from the grounds it is up to the Guards to sort it, not Bohs or Rovers or anyone else. If the guards were more like their Northern counterparts they could nip this in the bud before someone actually does get seriously injured.
If this did happen last night it would be very strange. I thought it was common practice in the big derbies in the league to keep the away fans (or home fans in our case...) back after the game :confused:Quote:

BTW I did think that the policing in the ground was lower profile than in previous seasons
Spoke to three seperate friends of mine by mobile who were in various locations in Phibsborough having been at the game.
None of them mentioned any trouble at all
Left match, and retrieved car from Shandon Crescent. Drove up Faussagh road and came across.....a police diversion.....alas, it seemed like some sort of traffic accident, and not a 'meet' between two vicious rival 'firms' as I had hoped.
thats all very well and good lads but not one of you has said the area i live.
if anyone is interested,there is someone else on the LSL forum saying they saw about 250 fighting. but he hasnt supplied video or DNA evidence so i wouldnt bother reading it...
to be honest,if most people on here seen something,i doubt they would say it...just too keep face and to try and rubbish my point even more.
anyway,no more on this,im sure we are all bored of it.
well done Drogs last night (or am i not allowed say that?)
Yes, moaning and finger-pointing, while at the same time refusing to help tackle the problem, could be called, at best, boring.Quote:

Check out a GAA forum such as anfearrua.com and you will find that 25,000 page thread! Dunno why you would expect to see it on a domestic soccer forum. Also the munster u-21 incident (where an umpire was forcefully pushed) got extensive print, radio and TV media coverage. I've neither seen or heard anything from the media about this alleged "riot" in town so I don't really see what your point is.Quote:

We went to Block B for teh first half as I was a bit late but then went down to Block F for the second half and she much preferred it there as it was ride in the middle of the singing etc. Left about ten mins after the game and got a bus into town and saw no trouble whatsoever, just lots of police about thats all.
major talkin point here could be both fans leaving at same time. iv made you aware of this,people have said this happened and called it "weird" - its not weird its downright stupid! its your club,will you do anything to tackle it? i seriously doubt it so dont take the high road here with me when im not even a Bohs fan. you are so why dont you bring it up at your next Supporters Club meeting or something?Quote:

It's a sad fact that a more pro-active and engaged police force could rapidly eliminate 99% of incidents that occour in proximity to League of Ireland games.Quote:

You're missing my point and I guess others'. Hunderds if not thousands of people attended the game and have plenty of go-home-safely stories having enjoyed the game.Quote:

Well if it looks silly then why wouldn't they :eek:Quote:

agreed - nothing better than a Bohs Rovers game for gettin a girls knickers wet. Good work fella. ;)Quote:
