Thugs And Scum Is All "youse" Are
Emotions aside, football aside, yesterday was the day i realised shamrock rovers and their fans should be banned from the civilised world.
1. 40-50 vocal city fans, looking to enjoy the same banter as with other fans, no incitement on our part, unless you count chanting as a reason for violence.
2. Second half 200-300 rovers fans spent most of the 45 mins gesturing and throwing things at us, without even watching the game.
3. A number of large stones were thrown from in side AND outside the ground- what kind of "fan" watches his team from outside the ground................
4. An empty glass bottle was flung in our direction, luckily it hit the roof of the toilets and broke before it killed anyone.
5. a number of "casuals" strutted into the city section and sat waving at their counterparts in the shed before attempt ing to sing and cause trouble, then were removed by the stewards- why? No city fans made any attempt to "take " the rovers end. No city fans touched any of these "invaders", we will not react- give it up.
6.As was already mentioned, a knife was dropped on the pitch bya rovers fan.
7. The gardaí had to drive you lot out of the ground like a herd of demented cattle, while we were thanked for our behaviour and wished a safe journey home.
i have defended rovers in the past, saying the majority of their fans were decent people. Not any more. No decent human being would carry on paying money into a club that does nothing to combat vermin such as those yesterday. It wasn't an isolated few, it was a large group of over 200. Probably the same scum who i heard roaring "you black monkey" at rutherford last week in dalymount.
Shamrock Rovers have consistently refused to make any attempt to deal with this element in their "support". Other clubs have repeatedly made them aware of this issue, and ...........nothing. Forget the "we can't deal with it until we have our own ground." If rovers want to they can- they obviously don't care. If they won't sort it out, then the FAI will have to ban rovers from travelling, or maybe even have them play behind closed doors.

We dont have to put up with it.
I wouldn't over react lads ... it should be deslt with in the proper way, through the porper channels (to put an end to it) , us name calling on the internet is not going to help things by any means. And there are alot of Rovers fans out there who want the same as us ... they hate this element as much as the rest of us and will be only too happy to lend a hand in support.
With a unified effort we can rid this sort of thing from the eL.
