I remember the incident, but I can't find the thread. Did it get binned?

Bohs fan in Ibiza faces extradition to Austria after arrest for assault
A YOUNG Irish football fan is facing extradition from Spain after being arrested on the holiday island of Ibiza for an alleged incident in Austria in July 2009.
On September 5 the Dubliner was arrested on the Mediterranean island on an international arrest warrant relating to an alleged assault and theft which occurred a day before Dublin club Bohemians played a Europa League qualifying match against RB Salzburg on July 14, 2009.
Austrian police allege three young men were involved in attempting to rob a bike and knocked over an 83-year-old Bavarian woman visiting the Austrian city, seriously injuring her.
I seem to remember a thread on this at the time. If the Austrian police are taking things this far, I'd say the little scallywag is in trouble.
I think the administrator of this site binned it at the time because the links to the story weren't in English or something stupid like that.Quote:

You think an international arrest warrant potentially hanging over your head would be the type of thing that might make you consider just going to Courtown instead of Ibiza this year.
True enough!:DQuote:

I also seem to recall it was a pretty dire thread, even of its type, which is saying something!
Didn't Bohs fans say something along the lines of "it wasn't a Bohs fan, one Bohs fan was wearing the same type of clothes and was interviewed as a suspect but it wasn't him"
Or am I imagining that?
Yep, that's the gist of what was said at the time. Bohs fans closed ranks and were very quick to dismiss the whole thing as a coincidence and I think it was mentioned that there were some English stag parties in town that night too.Quote:

Hope he gets what he deserves.
all that was said here is that despite the uproarious drama posters here were engaging in, no-one had been charged and there were several other groups of english speaking people in Salzburg that night including a group of fans of an English club. All true at the time.
Anyway, extradition from Ibiza to Austria? Rapid buzz. Throw another shrimp on the barbie.
Otherwise known in legal circles as "Rovers forensis vallo"Quote:

Hold on, the old woman isn't dead after all!?!Quote:

Is that what Rapid Vienna are going by these days? I just can't keep up with all these name changes...Quote:

The story itself (about the woman) doesn't quite add up. I read the story in German and it's not quite what was presented in English. Plus she was first dead, then in danger of death, then made a full recovery, now she's an invalid. I'm not condoning the stupidity that led to her injury/suffering, it just shows that a good idea isn't always good. I remember the story of the young lad who was standing on top of a car in 1998 in Nurnberg waving an extra large Croatian flag (after Croatia's win over his land of birth), it caught on a tree, he flew off the car and a van coming the opposite way ran over him.

Well, given the fact he was 15, if I remember rightly, Croatia might have lost a future player (since most are not Croatian born, or even Croatian but Bosnian), not a nice way to go!Quote:
