It's good that you got that petty dig in. It adds to the thread.

To make the point at how easy it is to misinterpret a chant at a football match. Rovers were hung drawn and quartered on this site, SARI was contacted, complaints made to the FAI, UEFA and FIFA because the same chants in the video above were taken to be monkey noises at Joey Ndo when it was obvious to any Rovers fan it was just hoops hoops hoops. Point made lets leave it there.

do you really want to bring this up again? So your defence is no longer that the video was doctored? Or that when Ndo had the ball the crowd were chanting "boo, boo" at him?

Sure.

It was obvious to everybody else (and even a few more honest Rovers fans) that it was racist chanting.

For other rovers fans, first it didn't happen, then it was 'short booing chants', then it was 'hoops hoops', and finally, it was doctored. All of the various excuses were and still are pathetic.

Great to see the tickets on sale to the season ticket holders first - they are the ones who deserve to get to a game like this, not barstoolers who only want to watch the foreign team & moan about our own.
I was at the home game (Bnei Yehuda) - first time in Tallaght Stadium & the atmosphere was quality - as are the facilities, but I know that I won't have a chance of getting to this one unless UEFA allow temp seats.
But the point is, it'll be great that the true supporters get to this one & it wont be taken over by bandwaggon jumpers. Should be a great atmosphere & I envy all Rovers supporters.

Likewise id love to go, went to pats in the RDS against berlin and this obv is another level, but i actually would feel bad about taking a ticket from a more die hard rovers/LOI fan who deserve to be there. surely rovers fans will sell it out, theyve sold out a few times since it opened and shud do def for this....

To be fair, there will be plenty of casual fans there whose season-ticket holding friends and family members get them in. It's their reward for investing in a season ticket so even as a fan I can't complain.

Don't feel bad if you get a ticket. The die hard Shams fans are quite rightly catered for with all season ticket holders having first option on tickets.

Not every die-hard fan is a season ticket holder, but there's is no other way of making sure as many get their chance as possible. Not every ticket will go to a diehard fan - the second ticket bought might go to family or workmate..that's impossible to 'control'.

But from the club perspective, the tickets will sell..

There were no excuses, as there was nothing to excuse. We did it then, we did it last night, we'll do it next week, and we'll do it next year. It is a clean chant merely stating who we are, and nothing to do with racism.

One question, the noises in the video in this thread of Rovers fans in the airport and the noises in the video of the Bohs match last season. Is is or is it not exactly the same chant - yes or no?

a fake Bono just apologised on his Twitter page for the 2nd leg of the Juventus game being moved to Modena..

"I must apologise to my fellow @shamrockrovers fans for getting their massive game moved. Maybe I'll wear a rovers jersey on stage to make up" https://twitter.com/bonopaulhewson

Funny, I've never seen him up in Tallaght. Maybe somebody in the know could get the real Bono in a Rovers shirt in the stadium in Turin while the game is on down the autostrada!

It's a joke account.

Thanks for pointing out my error - i edited the post to make it clear it wasn't true.

**Charlie Darwin** · 25/07/2010, 4:46 AM

It's actually quite convincing. I was taken in for a few weeks until I noticed he was having conversations with his journalist friends.

Well done to Shams, great stuff.

Went to the Bohs game for my sins with DCFCSteve, up from London. Bohs were a complete mess, no heart, no passion. Were rudderless. But TNS are a decent team, and they def deserved the win. I expect them to win the Welsh league at a canter, and they are a full time set up.

Fingal were unlucky, scoring 4 goals and not getting even a draw, and at least Dundalk got us some co efficients.

When the draws were made, I only expected one team in the next round - Bohs, so Im not too disappointed for the LOI. The LOI teams got tough draws this season, so well done to Shams for getting to the next round

Was half thinking of heading to Italy on a cheap flight from London, but my wife is after hiding my passport -LOl

Now dont call me crazy and do hear me out here.
But maybe just maybe I could have mistaken your fans singing about how Joey Ndo's father wash's elephants and his mother is a whore and the whole time it was just a "hoops hoops" chant.
It explains it all, and id say it also explains why you have openly Facist fans on your forum and why you have the same clowns over on Stormfr@nt.
It all stems from the "hoops hoops" chant.
Sad that you had to bring this up again and try and fob it off with the general positive feeling for Shams after their result.
