Fair enough but if their banner isn't in the brandywell does that mean they support the call for more police in football grounds?

......So you think the PSNI cant be believed and MYPOST reckons SARI have some anti shams agenda... tell me, is Jim Corr in charge at Tallaght now ?:rolleyes:

As a matter of interest do shams think any club that has been subject to attacks/incidents at Tallaght should boycott future matches there and issue press releases ? Police presence in Tallaght or not there have been more negitive incidents in SDCC stadium in its short life than ever occured at the Brandywell.

To be fair, I'd say the northern cops have a higher bar when it comes to "significant incidents" compared to those south of the border.

They can't be believed if they start saying nothing has happened previously and despite the club acknowledging the problem, the PSNI saying they have no intelligence it will happen again, well it borders on naivety or incompetence..

Mypost can be believed, he outlined the flying from Sligo thing in great detail afterall...are you trying to doubt such logic?http://foot.ie/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

I'm afraid despite mypost, Derry, yourself and a few others, I don't see what Tallaght or any other ground has to do with the issue at the Brandywell. You're welcome to not send buses to Tallaght if you feel like it. In Bohs' case, the less who attend, the better :)

No perhaps about it!! I personally am delighted, simply because we might see a Derry/Rovers match where Rovers fans don't make complete dicks of themselves

The level of horrendous scrawl is on par with a 3 year old's colouring book, so I wouldn't rule it out being actual Bohs handiwork.. :)

Looks fake to me.

For a start, there are no punctuation or grammatical errors, like standard examples of local graffiti such as "PNSI OUT!", "S/f r da TRADERS" and "RANGERS IS A W*NKER".

well the less sissified Rovers fans who arent too scared to travel will be able to tell ya...! ;)

Such a pity you didn't travel up guys, we really missed you. I hadn't realised your team was taking part in the boycott too.

Fair play to the Rovers fans there tonight, got behind their team the whole way through. For the scummy element of the Rovers fans, stay were you are, your not wanted nor needed. Up The City!!!!!!

I'm sure yous would've appreciated the extra money.

For the hassle of a shower of scumbags? No thank you we're happy enough with the crowd that travelled tonight, no bother inside or outside the ground!!

You'd prefer to lose out on 2-3k just to avoid a couple of annoying songs? I'd take the money to be honest.

Naw but O'Neil and Magilton would know. And you can add Turner to that list.

Shamrock Rovers supporters who took part in heavy combat after the Derry City game in the Brandywell on the outskirts of Londonderry on Friday night recounted their experiences from their hospital beds, where 22 of the wounded casualties of the battle were treated.

A consultant said "They suffer mostly from shrapnel and also from penetration of banana skins. "Mr Magilton, who was brought in by the club last week, runs the emergency room where the supporters are hospitalized. "Most of the injuries are in the limbs, a few of them are in the chest and stomach. Mr Magilton said "the most similar experience he can recall was when he was required to treat this many wounded after a recent friendly game in East Belfast."

The wounded supporters described the battle as a bitter one which took place in a built-up setting, one where enemy forces had organized a well-planned ambush. Supporters faced getting hit with orange peel from any and all directions. "They threw at us from 180 degrees," said one of the supporters. Most of the dead and seriously wounded are those from the initial wave of ground troops which tried to enter one of our buses. The supporters who suffered light wounds are primarily those who arrived on the scene to retrieve the bodies of the dead and wounded supporters lying in the Daisy Field.

"The battle began at 10.00 at night," he said. There were large oranges fired from rocket launchers, missiles and rocket-propelled grapes. I provided cover fire for supporters who tried to reach the wounded, and this went on for hours. Eventually, a plastic cup hit the bus where I was standing. I was thrown up against a window in the bus. In my lifetime I never expected to see bodies and people with wounds in their chest as i did last night

Manager O’Neill was wounded while attempting to recover a supporter’s body which was lying behind a Culmore taxi. "We tried to go in and retrieve the body but we didn't succeed, he said, "When I shot at the door of the taxi, the driver responded by shouting at me”, “F**k off back to Dublin, i’m only collecting a fair”. O’Neill who sustained shrapnel wounds to his leg after being hit by an empty fag packet, said the supporters did all in their power to prevent the Derry wains from laughing at them but to no avail.

The supporters also recounted feats of heroism displayed by their friends. "They carried supporters on stretchers while simultaneously singing about their Queen," O’Neill said, without thinking of the irony of his comment.

"It was hell on earth," Chris Turner said. "People risked their lives not only for the wounded but also for the dead bodies." Turner added that the Derry wains demonstrated impressive combat capabilities. "They are strong fighters, not like us, as we are scared sh**less of our own shadow," I would have thought that us white supremacists would have fared better than that bunch of b**** B*******, but then again i’m a racist.

Former Rovers centre-half Dan Murray was hit in his arm by a raffle ticket. "They fired from all directions, as we tried to get to the wounded," he said. "As I was about to throw a few insults, I got hit. After I was hurt, I couldn't do anything, but i had to try and save myself”

Some of the wounded supporters spoke of face-to-face clashes with the wains, however, none of the supporters could gave first-hand accounts of such incidents. The supporters who are from the worst slums in Dublin said their stay in Londonderry extended to four hours during which time they had to watch a team of local Derry City youngsters show them what passion for your team was all about.

A spokesman for Rovers said that’s the last time we’ll insist on having a Dub ref as he didn’t do his job by giving us every single decision.

Six Shamrock Rovers supporters issued a statement today after last night’s horrendous performance, both on and off the field.

“Chris Turner is nothing but a humped up racist, and that last night after the game while returning to base we saw a cow jump over the moon.”

"Nobody threw a brick at me." Clear dig at Derry City fans there, the implication obviously being that the bus attack was premeditated.

Like i have been saying all week, nothing but a smokescreen. This quote below is taken from the Derry City site.

We were a bit late leaving the ground after the game on Friday night. As we got into our car on the Brandywell Rd, four Shamrock Rovers supporters, carrying drink and certainly well oiled, singing about supporting Shamrock Rovers walked the length of the street towards the Lecky Rd.

Not one being said boo to them, and they certainly didn't seem in any a bit apprehensive. So much for the neanderthals on their site saying they feared for their lives.

I'm pretty sure those two or three mini-buses in the car park belonged to shams fans.

I assume the team got the direct flight to the brandywell, certainly looked jet-lagged!

After the game, I saw 4 of them throw, and look to throw stones at fans from both sides as they walked up the hill. A passing Derry fan then told them to stop.

The Galway, Sligo and Derry flight services are suspended from July 22nd. The flight from Dublin to Derry even left on time on Friday night. Bah humbug!! :(

Last night a Derry City supporters bus was attacked outside Dalymount. The front windscreen was smashed. Derry City supporters later told the media, we won't be crying to anyone who'll listen about the bad football supporters in Dublin, as we aren't as easily scare s***less as some supporters from Dublin. We could of course boycott the place with some watery excuse similar to what others have done, but we are made of better stuff than that.

No, you just chose not to make a stand against it.

If only we were all so heroic. I'm sure the Queen hands out medals for such bravery, you should contact her.

Maybe if it happens every time, it'd be a valid complaint.

Doesn't happen when Rovers are playing in Dalymount, so obviously Derry fans are the problem. Maybe if you stopped singing songs :rolleyes:

Childish post.

Hoy-o!

It was the Pride of Northside SC bus that had it's windscreen broken.

Thats the pensioners bus they bought a few years ago. I think the youngest on it is about 65.

Most of them have seen a lot worse in their lifetime but still the guys were lucky the people on the bus had already packed away their zimmer frames.

I was driving the Brandywell pride mini-bus a few years ago to a game in Dalymount and a group of teenagers tried the same. They got one good kicking the wee sh1tes of us. Probably remembered and found a soft target this time.
