Fines for offensive banners my arse!! :mad:
If that were the case then could we complain and get Derry fined for their flag "FHFC - Forever In Our Shadow" or could Dodge get Shels fined for their champions flag as he seems offended by it :D
FFS this is getting rediculous!
I wonder will I be fined following my unveiling of a banner to "welcome" Oily to Ballybofey next Friday night....
Also, will this now be the steps taken from now on. ie all offensive banners will be punished and if so what is deemed offensive?
I would have imagined that racism, sectarianism etc were the only offenisive to be banned and rightly so but do we now have to add Ollyism to that list...
I find that offesive - did you mean "ridiculous"? are you using "REDiculous" to poke fun at all teams that play in RED - like shels????Quote:

I'm outraged. I call on the EL to issue three statements about this matter with mistakes in them so they have to issue three more - each specifying an inappropriate fine - each one more inconsistent than the last
Lets stamp this sort of thing out now!
What about this for a new banner
Fined for using flares: €100
Fined for offensive banners €500
****ing off the FAI:Priceless
:D
I meant ridiculous aye but if you don't believe me, fcuk off to that EL Investigation committee and get me fined :DQuote:

The only positive thing i can think of is that they are starting to act instead of toothless threats but i'm scraping the barrel on that one.
btw i noticed on TV3 that showed another bohs pitch invasion at Richmond Park & that kids on the pitch after the whistle too.
LOL
until the FAI give the clubs a few hundred grand for the amount of stewards neede to keep hundreds of kids off pitches they can fck right off
this is the fcking LOI not the premiership
live in the real world ffs
When a pat's representative brought the matter up in front of the Gardai, the FAI and the league he was told nothing will be done about it cos they're mostly kids.
Hehe. Too easy.Quote:

Finbarr Flood is the Shels chairmanQuote:

Wouldn't it be funny if supporters from every club organised banners this weekend and unfolded them at the exaact same time all around the country :DQuote:

The Rovers banner seemed to be in the Ballybough end which is a bit of a neutral zone. All other fans have to do is make big baners slagging off something about their club. Take photos, let the Garda or security remove it after a few mins. Next EL meeting Shels getting fined for offensive banner.... After all the precedent has been set now
;)
Frankly I think the demonstration at the Bohs vs. Shels match was bang out of order and added another element of nastiness to an already tense fixture.
The Bohs fans think the three lads that left them are “Judas’” - fine, let them sing, chant, and unfurl banners to state this fact!
But, Bohs the club, shouldn’t be allowing their fans onto the pitch to so officially demonstrate this fact.
IMO Rovers have been harshly done by though.
I didn’t have a problem with their “Ollie is a thug” banner on Friday, but I would have if the 400 club, like the Bohs board, had allowed their fans to go onto the pitch to “officially” unveil the same said banner.
Well that answers the question posed in the other thread - Cork stewards are obviously shameless bullies who intimidate innocent kids from expressing their natural happy, exuberant, youthful urges. Cork stewards - child abusers.Quote:

The flares on the pitch-side of the ad boards was a bit dodgy but there's logic in there somewhere. When it was planned, it was decided that it would be safer to set off flares on the other side of the barriers seeing as the Shed is used for the "Kids go Free" promotion. Also the drop between the playing surface and the bottom of the terracing at the front of the Shed is a long one, which couple with the height of the ad boards would have meant the flares weren't visible from the rest of the ground. The area in front of the Shed was used for several reasons (so I'm told)...1. The wind that night would have blown the smoke straight back into the Jodi if flares had been lit on that side of the ground. 2. The lights in the roof of the Jodi make it too bright for flares to be effective. 3. There weren't enough flares to go the length of the Jodi and there's no point in doing things by halves.
Apparently the lads who were on the pitch were all sound non-hoolie types who just wanted add to the buzz of the night. There was nothing very threatening about the whole episode. The "Judas" banner probably hadn't been in the plans at all... it just appeared. Access to the pitch was controlled so no undesirables got on, sand buckets were waiting at the corner so hot flares wouldn't be carried back into the spectator areas and the fire bloke was happy everything was being done as safely as possible. I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about.
