The fans who cost us money in fines for this stuff and pitch incursions are hurting the club. The front of the East stand is going to be meshed off against cork to try to stop this. Will they be happy when the FAI close the wast stand ?

The fans who have been involved in pitch invasions have typically being getting a soft ride from other their fellow club supporters, security staff and the clubs board. Heavy fines and sanctions like ground partial closures are what forces reality and stimulates action.Quote:

I don't have a problem with the stairway fines. They seem to be levied fairly across clubs and if, touch wood, something bad did happen those areas need to be free. It shouldn't cost the club much to ensure stewards and trained and available to ensure fans aren't blocking exits.Quote:

I have also witnessed outright hostility and aggression from many travelling Rovers fans towards stewards and security staff who tried to prevent these pitch invasions
I don't believe that the ostrich type attitude to this problem is unique to Rovers, but the problem is undoubtedly more pronounced than anywhere else.
BS the club have been banning those involved and have now gone a step further. Fans on social media defending other fans does not mean the club feel the same.
You really need to start reading posts properly, he said "belatedly" and has acknowledged Rovers are taking some action. But let's not pretend that this has always been the case, if it was there would be very few Rovers fans left. He also acknowledges the fact that these problems are not isolated to Rovers but that seems to go over your head as you furiously smash your keyboard. Time for decent Rovers fans to acknowledge they have the largest element on numptys attached to their club and spend their time helping the club weed them out instead of attacking fans from other clubs who point out the elephant in the room
I suspect they neither think not care about what impact their behaviour has on the club. If they did, they wouldn't do it.Quote:

I'm not banging my keyboard I'm reacting to someone criticizing the club for taking action "belatedly" when if they did nothing they would be criticized for doing nothing.....with some posters we can't win.Quote:

I suspect not somehow and it'll keep happening until they are all banned

No problem you dont generally display bod :) Shocking reffing but no excuse for either side. Real needle between Dublin clubs and kevins the slave traders. They aren't allowed enter next year's league unless they sign up with bohs so they aren't happy. Important for loi to take control of the best kids.
I wouldn't phrase it like that. It's giving them the best chance at the highest level possible in Ireland and giving them a clear pathway to senior level while not indoctrinating them into thinking it's England or bust.Quote:

Loi clubs see 15 year old kids as potential first team players , the slave traders in kevins want to get 5 or 10k for selling the kid as an end game
I wouldn't listen to that twitter account at all seems to have a real dislike of rovers, if you scroll down they have a go at duffer for saying previous coaches have given his players bad habits of not playing the right way then scroll a bit further and theyve a go at coaches for not coaching teams to play football right themselves.Quote:

For instance he says two members of staff were sent off, what he doesn't mention is they were just spectators at the game and according to other people that were there one was just a fan while the other was Bradley. Also according to people who were there it was far from "verbal abuse", ive heard the lino was asked a question with no voices even raised but i wasn't there so i dont know for sure. They also leave out that refereeing performance was apparently a complete shambles. They also dont point out that apparently it was a brilliant game of football with both teams playing the right way.Quote:

That twitter account is constantly sniping at LOI clubs and making ridiculous statements with nothing to back it up.
This tweet reply which they RT'ed is fairly representative
Always with the "poor me", "think of the children" and patently false assertions like "we're proven to be hugely successful at this" type of ball axe
