You have must never have been at a match where a riot took place or you would know how ridiculous this comment is. However Mr Hoopman 'Damien Richardson' was insistent that a women (Saints supporter) ran onto the pitch to remonstrate with the the large mob.Quote:

Back fromt he game. Gutted. Wasn't a sending off and we were the better team before that. Goal was comming for 10 minutes though as Rovers battered us.
As to answer questions as what happened after. I absolutely condone, applaud in fact, every Pats fan who went on to the pitch after being pelted it out of by 100s of Rovers. not a few, 100s.
This is the last I'll post on this thread as I'm not getting into semantics of who, what, where and the usual internet rubbish. EVERY single person who was there knows exactly what happened, and every one knows the blame lies firmly with fans of ROvers. not all of their fans are to blame, but enough of them to make me blame their club.
They've already been warned twice this year (Gary Rogers incident, Dundalk incident). We'll see how the FAI treats their model club
Can't believe we actually won a match. Can't really blame the fans for rioting as on current form we may never repeat the experience.
:D Are you serious? Are you some sort of budding investigative journalist?Quote:

Why do you think they ran on the pitch straight down the Pats end after a victory, in which there didn't seem to be much bad blood during the game?
Because they're complete and utter knackers?Quote:

I'd hazard a guess some of those earlier reports were true, some of the Rovers scumbags decided to get some sort of rather sad 'revenge' and ran on the pitch as soon as the whistle blew, when security failed to react others ran on too. That's not me condoning it, I've clearly not tried to do that at all, just trying to make sense of why this would suddenly occur tonight, and not say 5 weeks ago when we also beat you there in a big game.
Out of interest Dodge, did the two sets of fans meet on the pitch resulting in fights breaking out ?
You applaude pats fans that got involved in the trouble? Both clubs should be fined no matter who started it.Quote:

RTE.
Tuesday, 19 October 2010 22:15 Shamrock Rovers progressed to their first FAI Cup final since 2002 thanks to a Chris Turner strike against ten-man St Patrick's Athletic in this semi-final replay at Richmond Park.
However the night ended with a pitch invasion and supporters from both sides fighting.
Turner smashed a superb shot past Pat's keeper Gary Rogers on 70 minutes to set up a meeting Sligo Rovers at Aviva Stadium on 14 November.
Damian Lynch was sent off on 53 minutes when he pulled at Gary Twigg but the night was marred after the final whistle when Rovers fans invaded the pitch and confronted the Pat's supporters.
St Pat's supporters then ran onto the playing area and several fights broke out as players from both sides raced off to the dressing rooms.
Bottles were thrown by both sets of fans but order was restored by Gardai, stewards and St Patrick's Athletic officials.
Definitely time for the FAI to clamp down hard on Rovers. They've been allowed get away with it for too long.
No i'm not. But if you can make allegations like that, I can make plenty up about Rovers simple as, because a 3rd party told me.
They were singing about going on the pitch after they scored just like the last they came to Inchicore, this time they followed through, obviously they failed the last day. And to answer your question I have no idea why there so obsessed with running our pitch looking for a row.
http://foot.ie/faq.php?faq=rules#faq_rumours
Just a reminder, to everyone, of that rule.
I went along tonight as a neutral. Nights like tonight make you wonder why the f*ck you bother busting your balls helping your clubs, selling tickets, giving up your time, badgering people to go to game only for a load of knackers to generate more national coverage than you could ever dream of.
Was she a steward? if she wasnt then she was a fool to run onto the pitch and was as bad as everyone else that was causing trouble and i hope St pats ban her from the ground.Quote:

This is a topic on fm104 now.
Certainly no casuals involved looking at these pics......Nike tracksuits FFS.
You would swear 100% of Rovers fans were scumbags...cop on to yourselves....

Re : The trouble - The first thing I saw was a lad in a white hoodie run the length of the pitch from the Pats end and start swinging digs down the shed end in the middle of about 50 Rovers fans as they ran on the pitch to celebrate. Stewards pounced on him right away. Then Rovers fans ran to the middle of the pitch celebrating with their players. Then started to move towards the Pats fans behind the goal waving their arms etc. Missiles were being fired from both sets of fans and then the Rovers lad with the brolly and others went further towards the Pats end. Lads from the Pats end hopped on to the pitch and a few brawls scattered around the pitch kicked off with only stewards in the midst. About 5 minutes later some guards started strolling on and the majority scarpered. Embarrassing stuff from both sides tbf

Ban Rovers from the final is the best action.
Rovers should be absolutely ashamed. I hope they pay dearly for this. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. Worse still that the gardaí did sweet f all. The stewards were undermanned (which is, in itself, a problem) yet the gardaí did nothing to help. The were a handful of gardaí around the ground watching the action as if they were at the match as spectators. The were about 20 outside also, just waiting for the fans to leave as opposed to catching some of the scumbags.
I don't want to hear "Don't paint us all with the same brush", "A tiny minority.....", "A handful of individuals.....". There were hundreds of rovers fans on the pitch, not to celebrate but to wind up the Pat's fans. SCUM.
On the football side of things, it means that League of Ireland legend Dessie Baker will now play the last game of his career in the FAI Cup Final at Lasndowne Road. Delighted for him (if he doesn't pick up yet another injury in the meantime)
(As an aside, Hibs4Ever I'm feeling a bit left out, any chance of a "thanks"? If I write the words SOME MODEL CLUB in caps like that do I qualify?)
Disgraceful scenes which have no place in Irish soccer.
On the football side of it, the all-Rovers final has the makings of a good final.
What is the acceptable percentage these days?Quote:

bye bye folks.
Lets get this straight the Rovers fans ran on to celebrate with the team,
The Pats fans that ran on for trouble. There was Pats fans on the camac side throwing bottles and coins in at the Rovers fans. In all my time going there there has never been any hassle from that side.
'I was off me looper' :DQuote:
