you cant ban a club from attending your home games and your club would be told that if you are not capable of dealing with your security requirements inside the ground then you will not get a licence.Quote:

Dundalk fans are certainly not alone in putting their heads in the sand at times like this but blaming the victimised supporters club is a new slant to take for sure. :rolleyes:
Excuse me but surely every club has the right to refuse admission to anyone, no? Galway United has a duty to its own fans first and foremost, and if that means banning Dundalk fans in order to execute that duty of care, then so be itQuote:

Violence at LOI games, or should I say outside LOI staidums on match night will always be a problem...
Last season I emailed every club in the Premier Division asking them what they are doing to weed out the 'schooligan' element at their club...I emailed the vast majority of official and unofficial supporters clubs asking them would they be interested in putting out a joint statement condemnin the actions of a minority at legaue games and stressing that these people do not represent LOI fans in general...
Bray were the only club to respond and Derry supporters club were the only supporters group to respond positively...
Galway supporters refused to support any joint statement statin that as they had no trouble at games it was not their concern...kinda ironic...
I even met with the FAI chief of security about what the FAI were doin to help eradicate this growin problem...
As for CCFC supporters who behave badly...simple, they get banned from home games and will be pointed out to away stewards if they travel...CCFC does not and will not tolerate people givin our club a bad name...
Already this season CCFC have issued 4 verbal warnings to people about their future behaviour at home and away games and if they step out of line once more then they are banned...no apologies either...
Lock this already ffs!
Dundalk Democrat
Dundalk FC could be reprimanded for action of "fans"
Published Date: 18 March 2009
By Gary McLaughlin
Only two games back into the Eircom League of Ireland Premier Division and Dundalk FC could be reprimanded for the actions of their 'supporters.'
Galway United CEO Nick Leeson is adamant that the Connacht club will make an official complaint to the League of Ireland after three of their supporters were beaten to a bloody pulp by a gang of 15 Dundalk supporters.
Following the incident, Dundalk CEO Mr Gerry Matthews admitted he was extremely "disappointed" in the actions of the fans whilst Galway United CEO Nick Leeson said: "It should not have happened."
Mr. Leeson added: "We, the club will be making a complaint to the league and we are hoping that Dundalk FC will take appropriate action towards these individuals, as they should

Yes, it happened outside the ground.Quote:

Ok..All that needs to be said has been said, now people are just repeating past comments. It has even come to a point where someone tried to blame GUFC, Leeson is taking his action to the FAI. That's that, no point for this sh!te anymore.Quote:

However, I fully agree that what he did was non-violent and my message clearly makes the thugs out to be worse. I didn't intend to or seek to equate the two.
So Dundalk fans, what did ye do tonight?
joke;)
Absolutley nothing. Few Drogs fans ejected during the game but that's about it.Quote:

Security was excellent tonight, that idiot is/should be banned for a long time as our CEO did say this week that any incidnets great or small is going to result in bans! As for the Drogs, they are not as innocent as everyone makes out, they where looking for trouble last night, and a few idiots threw bottles and other items onto the pitch, one hit O'Callaghn on the back and 2 where ejected from what i saw!
We had problems with them at both home games last season. Absolutley no need for it and a lot of us were happy to see them promoted to we wouldnt have to put up with them this yr. Their fans should be blanket banned from all away games for a full season. If they want a row they should arrange a friendly with Millwall, Leeds or someone.Quote:

There's no need for it, if they're coming to Wexford Youths looking for a brawl they'll not get one. I'd have an ounce of respect for them if they were to take on Millwall or someone.Quote:

He incited the crowd and some people reacted, probably at the expense of a fine. Not what we need. And those "other items", were betting slips for our good friend.;)Quote:
