the whole wall incident in bray involving monaghan fans has suddenly been forgotten very quickly. oriel isnt the only ground with a terrible away section. nothing can be proven until all relevant parties carry out their full investigations into the incident and for small minorities now contacting other clubs fans to not attending oriel in protest is very over the top or to head to dundalk just to picket outside oriel is very over the top.
The conditions were absolutely terrible! Hats off to both teams for putting in such effort in such rain and wind.Quote:

Felt we got on top from there on in but were caught with a bit of a sucker punch in injury time at the end of the first half.
Really felt we would come out and beat you 2nd half but again we were caught cold and there's nothing like an ex player scoring against you to make you feel like it's not your night but in fairness to the lads they kept fighting and pulled one back. Really should have gort and equaliser when Dempsey went through 1 on 1 and then a 4th from Jason Byrne. 3 very straight forward chances missed by us. I thought Greacen was blessed when he pulled Waters back when through on goal inside the box, peno and a red card for me, but nothing given.
The last few weeks have been positive for Br@y and if we can reproduce that after the mid season break we'll be fine and finish mid table handy enough.
In relation to the Pat's fan up in Dundalk, i've heard a few stories but worryingly heard that the club doctor had to scale a fence to get in and help him as they wouldn't open a gate and that when he was stabilized they carried him out instead of being on a stretcher... As i said these are just stories i've heard so i'm not having ago at anyone or pointing the finger at Dundalk. Hope the fella makes a full and speedy recovery.
And yep Dillionmnan, the wall coming down at the Br@y v Monaghan AND Rovers games was shameful. The club were fined AFAIK and they installed a new ground premiter around the pitch that passes health and safety.
rabble rabble rabble
In relation to the Colly James banner I thought it was excellent but I'd imagine if someone did complain it was more to do with the stewards letting the lads stand in front of us basically taunting us not once but 3 times!
Again not saying it actually bothered me and if there was a complaint made it may have been from someone a little over sensitive but even if a group of fans came over and stood in front of us without a flag a few times it shouldn't be allowed just incase anything were to kick off!
Theres complete segregation in Longford when the two sides meet and we're not even allowed walk around our usual way from Section O at half time..
I personally have no issues with the collie james banner.. the man is hated in Longford for what he did... I dont agree with someone delibrately walking across the away support not once but twice with the banner looking at us smirking.. that only invites trouble imo!I didnt notice it earlier in the game it only encouraged those athlone fans to go across again to do this.. where were the athlone stewards to stop this they werent too far ahead of us.. i can well understand our committee members putting in a complaint!
Can i ask why them same officials were standing at our gate after the game remembering faces. I have been told they are not going to let any of us into CCS because of the banner. Bit extreme if true
Remembering Athlone fan's faces?Really?Of course that's extreme!I can't imagine it happening though!Quote:

Just go in disguise ye'll be grand. In drag perhaps just to be safe.
Maybe that's the way they always dress thoughQuote:

There was great noise in Lissywollen the other night for a great win, some of the chanting left a bit of a sour taste though (you'd be questioned by the cops in England if you carried out some of the despicable chants heard Friday night last). Also, the booing of Sammon when he was receiving treatment for his serious injury was in bad taste.
Has to be said in fairness.
I don't think booing an opposition player when he is down injured is too bad but certainly when it was quite clear that it was serious it was slightly uncalled for!Care to elaborate on these songs that left a sour taste?Quote:

Dundalk FC has held a number of meetings to review the events of last Friday’s match with St Patrick’s Athletic.
The club is undertaking a full investigation and compiling a full report on the events that took place.
While this investigation is continuing we shall be making no further comment on the matter.
Dundalk FC would like to wish Niall Hannigan a speedy recovery.
Keith Ward out for the rest of the season with knee injury

Ward will be a big loss to Dundalk, he was one of four players I would have kept at Bohs from last season ( we only kept one of those!)Quote:
