Nice and childish ...Quote:
No idea. He should have called him a geebag though.
Well put :rolleyes:
Can you really continue a debate when thats a reply???
your first two words say more about you then the last two!! Your posting on a topic that you dont understand. :eek:
higgins, Shels's fans group get funded by shels fc. FACT.
The flare display.... makes no difference were it happened. A flare lit is a flare lit.
Shels players and officials acted like thugs both back in May, and last October in dalymount, yet nothing, We have this NLSA shower issuing statements yet they know none of the facts, yet evidence submitted by Frodo Fenlon, who was breaching a suspension gets not one bit of notice.
25th March 2005. You've played Rovers more than once this season.Quote:

As we have continually stated the rules have to be applied consistantly and evenly to all. Otherwise, what's the point?

He is either a liar or he didnt serve his ban.
Thats why I said playing surface you prat, they were to the left of the goal as you look at it, at the Shed End, this is the playing surface. FACT!Quote:

You did not get the fine for the use of flares alone,,
Why you are still trying to compare this woth other events is annoying me. Accept what was done on the night was over stepping the mark. The fine that was issued may be harsh but the event was not the ordinary show of flares. Going onto the playing surface with a flare is a serious matter (I'll count the area around the gaol as the playing surface :rolleyes: )
And the board of Shelbourne do not fund flares for displays against opposition players and fans. Not saying Bohs did either but dont come along with your funded by the board rubbish to deflect attention from your own problems.
Fines for failing to take a good look at oneself :confused:Quote:

Can the BD help us out here please? Next game put up some unbelievably crude and offensive banner about Des Casey's mother and wait and see what happens. In the (HIGHLY unlikely) event that there's a fine, I'm sure every other club will be happy to see that there's no Shels bias and chip in. ;)
Seriously though, I think this should be the catalyst for all supporters groups to make an effort to display offensive banners. If there's any lawyers reading this it might be a good idea to advise on the best way to phrase any insulting comments so that there can't be any legal problems...
and next to a FIFA Listed Assistant Referee - who quite casualy strolls up into the back of the net - literally yards from where one of the flares is, and nonchalantly checks the goal net, walks away to take up his position on the touchline and goes about his business.Quote:

The evidence - on film - that they didn't speaks volumes imo.
So basically in any ground where you stand on grass you are on the playing surface?Quote:

So if that happened every week at grounds up and down the country you would have no problem with it???
Is that what you think the EL are looking for ...
YES in fact they should have donated 3,000 towards your next hate campaign towards ex players.. That will have the crowds flocking to Dalymount and other grounds all over the country. I'm saddened by the fact none of you see that this was wrong :(
It appears that the FAI are tired of trying to kill the domestic by pretending it doesn't exist.
Their new approach appears to drive out the remaining support with findings such as that produced by this committee.
It appears that numerous issues were not investigated by the Committee. Some had their evidence accepted without question, others had their dismissed without a chance to substantiate it.
Fines for banners- are we going to have stewards checking the wording of all flags prior to entry into a game from now on. Who decides that is offensive or not? As WWS says, fan culture is a central part of the game. We are the game.
Given that the Gardai refused to remove the Pi$$A=Juda$ from Tolka a few years back as it wasn't offensive are there going be comprehensive guidelines on this. :rolleyes:
Perhaps my QUBSC flag will be banned as it featured a crown which might remind home fans of Ireland's past as a colony.
I personally believe that flares and smoke canisters can be used safely. Bohs provide sandbuckets for the safe extinguishing of flares etc and this is an innovative yet simple solution to the safety issues. Perhaps we'll have a edict from the FAI on the use of lighters next........

3. The Committee noted Oliver Byrnes evidence that allegations were made that he attended a management meeting of the League prior to the match and had requested the League at this meeting to take action against Shamrock Rovers in relation to the clubs examinership. League Representatives are in a position to refute any allegation that Mr. Oliver Byrne was at this management meeting and the Committee have noted this.
two hours before the matches as well as during and after the matches.
As was already pointed out !!
There is no time limit on how long he should be away from the pitch after the game. Thats why the new bans are worded differently........
A banner with judas and a couple of flares? A banner calling a known thug a thug? Lock up your kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloody hell, you would swear the officials of Bohs and Rovers were known to attack rival fans, directors etc or be involved in criminal activities. Oh wait...
This is football, not polo. Bohs and Rovers have no case to answer in relation to the Shelbourne games.
