Would this be you?
Strange.... Bohs fans and the club itself cry blue murder about a hooligan flag getting nicked. Now Bohs fans vandilse a football pitch and if true a monument and its a good laugh :rolleyes:
Err - If you read my post I'm not ACTUALLY having a laugh about it. The pitch thing was mildly humourous - but any defacement of a monument, whatever it may depict, is just wrong in my opinionQuote:

No, I'm currently 195 miles away from Dublin - I have no idea who it is - just passing on the info that appeared on both our forumsQuote:

Just been confirmed that the monument has in fact been desecrated with the letters BSC written on three sides apparantly.
What would Bohs fans make of it if Jackie Jameson's grave was vandilised in such a way? I only hope nobody on our side stoops that low.
I have to say I don't condone this in any way.
Muppetry.
What does the monument represent? Is it the Rovers crest?

Kilcoyne's treachery.Quote:

Sickening to see. I sincerely hope Rovers fans can rise above this petty disgusting tripe.Quote:

I think that what happened in Milltown is unacceptable and I am sure that the overwhelming majority of Bohemians supporters feel the same.Quote:

What happened in Milltown was pure vandalism.
