Anyone else think this is a bad idea given the violent history of the two clubs?
the ground share makes sense .... it is the violent history that doesn't
Stop the shít happening and there shouldn't be a problem. It probably will highlight it a bit more a pressure both the clubs to resolve it.
The league should bring in penalties for clubs that cant control their fans though .... the reputation of the league shouldn't suffer over two clubs or who ever is involved.
Does anyone have any idea what that means?Quote:

It still hasn't been agreed, Rovers/FAI stalling over the underwriting of damage that will be caused by the scum!
Your guess as good as mine. Haven't understood 1 of his posts in my time on these boards :oQuote:

Ah no. Shams is ok. That, we get. ;)Quote:

ahhh yea, spot on chheers Oirish Sun! Yet another great service!
They just do it to annoy us! It's typical of a British based newspaper - 'oh, there's a team called Shamrock Rovers, let's just call them Shams'. **** that for a game of soldiers - 15 leagues and 24 Cups, we are Rovers!Quote:

I've always called them Shams ... nothing to do with reading it in a paper!
Didnt know that about the sun/Lims/Drogs
we played lims last night
they've some bloke at the back who looks vaguely like Carvalho.......still didnt make up for missing the CL game!
Better than having Rovers play in Drogheda travelling by train with the "away" fans.Quote:

Our official nicknames are Rovers or The Hoops.

There called Shams we're called Rovers end of story :cool:
Wrong as usual. You're sligo. Ask around. Only one Rovers and again ask any EL fan.

Cheers, You will always be SHAMS to us. I think we have called ye by that name long before the Oirsh Sun ever printed it. It's not meant as an insult of any sorts, to us we are Rovers and ye are Shams; simple!Quote:
