Was this kid seen doing that? I know there were kids in his group doing so but not sure if he was. Should be investigated but it could be a cause that he was with the wrong crowd, apparently he was there with his older brother.Quote:

One of two things happened.Quote:

Probably but if a committee member was seen to do that it would at least have been something.Quote:
I still think the calling the Gardai from the crowd is a silly idea that would be laughed off.
As it is they didn't so CCFC must shoulder some of the blame.
And who's his older brother??Quote:

We're going around in circles so it's easier to agree to disagree.Quote:

Overall I think there are certainly clubs in the league with problems in the support, and I hope there is a coordinated effort to get it out of our league for good.
Not on the thread I've read anyway. I'm living in Thailand so not up to date on the current 'crowd', so wouldn't personally know them. Definitely wouldn't know many of the names anyway.Quote:

The attack itself I'm meh about, my point is, if CCFC prevent these lads from getting into Tolka Park Friday (which it was within their power to do) it's just a bunch of kids, fighting with another bunch of kids and there's no story (or far less of a story) here.
As it is we were a couple of kicks in the head away from an Evening Heral Daily Mail League Of Ireland Holocaust. Partially becasue CCFC don't have their house fully in order. And that's not fair on all the other clubs. It's only Limerick I care about here.
No maybe, there's more could be done, making full sure these youngfellas don't get into grounds until they get sick of travelling is an obvious one.Quote:

You're a member of FORAS are you not??Quote:

Less hope, more rope!!
Well in the First Division you have Cork, Shels and erm.....Quote:

Fair Enough. :DQuote:

I had that wrote before i knew you were in Thailand tbf. :)Quote:

LTID, what about the incident a few years ago when the Bohs schooligans and Shels schooligans fought in the name of each others club in Fairview when both teams were playing games outside of Dublin that night? Do the respective clubs have to shoulder (some of) the blame for those occurences too?Quote:

Im 100% with micls and aface on this - its down solely to the scrotes that were looking for trouble and it seems that the ones from Cork were the antagonisers in this case.
For that particular incident??Quote:

well kiddo, you made your point poorly.Quote:

but, anyway, now that you've clarified your point, the incident on Friday happened well away from the ground too if im not mistaken? So if im reading this right, Cork are to blame for the scrotes getting into the ground where nothing happened but are totally absolved of any blame for what occurred outside the ground? Strange logic.
They probably should have had personnel at all train and bus depots on Friday afternoon to stop them travelling to Dublin too. And random roadchecks on the M8 while theyre at it. How very irresponsible of CCFC.
I dunno, A face (who you agree with 100%) seemed to largely agree with the parts of my long post that weren't me taking him out of context.Quote:

If you can't see any difference between that and your widdle poor comparison then fair enough.

No just someone to stop them getting into the ground therby distancing themselves and the wider League of Ireland from them as much as possible.
Anyway, that's my final word on it, I'm not going to be one of those people who talks about last weekend into this weekend.
Don't worry though the internet is feckin full to the brim with indecent material and terms just waiting for you to be offended by them. Go NOW, the world needs you.
thank christ for that. Mission accomplished.Quote:
