Seriously, joking aside, is this over the nuts or did I miss something? This might even be stupider than fining Bohs fans for singing on their last visit to Belfield.

Shamrock Rovers were fined €500 for the improper conduct of their supporters and severely warned as to their future conduct arising out of an incident v U.C.D. (18.11.05).
What did they do?
I missed the game myself but the lads said that some teenagers threw nuts at the home support.Quote:

A new low for the FAI? or perhaps the conspiracy theory to get as many fines in before the season ended to cover their all expenses paid holidays was correct?
Koh
All joking aside that is a disgrace. I think if all clubs got together and refused to pay these ridiculous fines they would have to have a serious rethink how to finance their trips to sold trafford.
Where do these fines end ffs?:mad:

From one of our directors on the Ultras board, it needs no further comment -
"Just been on to the EL. The match delegate reported that a Rovers fan racially abused UCD's Gary Dicker on several occassions. The fact that Dicker is not from Pakistan is no excuse for abusing him in such a manner. If anyone knows who is responsible for this moronic act, please tell him that he owes Rovers ?500 - and that he's a stupid, racist **** who should **** off."
KOH
Fair enough, that did happen.
I'll withdraw my nuts allegation so.
[Thread Over]
Does anyone have a picture of Dicker?
Was it a Rovers fan and if so, what did UCD do about the incident? After all, it was a UCD home match. Proper criteria for dealing with situations like this were not followed.Quote:

UCD are technically at fault.
The authorities seem to have lost the plot with these fines.
If Rovers fans told yer man to shut up (as I think they did), then fining Rovers is disgraceful.Quote:

why have stewards at all? if the authorities thing it important enough to fine us over, they could have dealt with it there and then. ive never heard of away teams getting fined for lack of stewarding on the home sides part.Quote:

my point is that if someone has to be blamed, its technically UCD. but thats divisive and we should be trying to stop these ridiculous, frivilious fines that pay for delaneys trips to old trafford. this is beyond a joke.
Why is it that Rovers get a fine for this , yet shels get away scottfree with no fines after 4 pitch invasions against city during the game,a mass invasion after the game and the amount of items thrown at any cork players taking a corner ???!?!?!?!Quote:
