Airtricity League Latest: Friday Aug 6th

Oh he knew what he was doing alright, but unless he goes over to them I thought a yellow was a bit harsh considering he was in that area at the time (so didn't go out of his way over there, if that makes sense). Not that it makes the slightest bit of difference though. I was amazed Bohs didn't manage to hit him with anything, they made enough attempts, I'm still trying to find a pic of the dozen or so bottles on the pitch...

Only going on what I saw on the news (30-second highlights) and what's on here.
Quality second goal from Twigg. His celebrations weren't shown on the news, so didn't see them, or the bottles, but as Dodge said, there's no excuse for them, it was idiocy for which the club will rightly be fined. From that picture above, Twigg seems to be quite a way from them, but maybe the rulebook says he can be booked for 'incitement' or something like that, without necessarily having to be right in front of them.

Flynn's kick was idiocy too. Unacceptable for a footballer to lose it like that (especially as Rovers were 1 up at the time, I think, and there seemed no motivation, that I could see anyway).

Jason Byrne used to do it every time he scored against Rovers for Shels, we all love our players to do it....we'd all do it..

Ultras forum..

I think I can spot 4 around about where Twigg is lying in the picture above. So 4 times the disgust and disgrace please

**sligo23** · 09/08/2010, 12:50 PM

Throwing bottles = very bad. Happy Shamrock Rovers fans?

I prefer my players celebrating with our fans (and yeah, Byrne's another one who always does it)

I can't remember seeing so many bottles thrown in one incident at a game before in the LoI. Twigg didn't either go right over to the Bohs fans, just slid inside the box at the side where he scored. One naughty boy on the left clearly trying to get up close and personal with Twigg. Between that and throwing a punch at him last time in Tallaght I'm getting the impression they don't like him very much.

And the point I was making was that shams bleated like childern when they were acused RE bottle incident (it was plastic, it didnt hit him etc etc),denied rascist chanting heard on TV and made excuses when a "fan" got on the pitch and confronted an opposition player,
All of the above merit point deductions, ground closures more than what occured on Sunday. but then again shams like lecturing others on what to do.

I thought Bohs were unlucky. They were within 5 mins of holding out for 2-0 defeat.

those tallaght wins STILL compensate for the lack of throphies I see

**hoops1** · 09/08/2010, 1:05 PM

My favourite part was when the 3rd goal went in.

Only one time to be top - when the trophy is handed out

To quote your signature "thats why we are champions"

with a game against Bray in hand.

There is a long way to go yet.

Regarding the bottles being thrown, i thought there was a dozen thrown? I can see four. It is still 4 too many and is completely unacceptable as was Twigg going to celebrate over by the Bohs fans. Totally unneccesary drama from both parties.

What did you expect Twigg to do after the abuse he was gettin from your mob? There was definately more than four bottles thrown at Twigg as well as a couple of numpties who tried to get over the wall, and not forgetting a rather large person who tried to charge at two 7 year old girls, I'm searchin sites to try and get his picture and post it up everywhere, absolute scumbag. He was screamin abuse at kids on that side all day. I'd love to get my hands on him.
Anyway brilliant win for the 'model' club, we showed those overpaid mercenaries what it is to have passion and belief in your club. 12th man was exceptional aswell

This made me laugh out loud. fair play.

And marino's response was cringe inducing too

It was a nice tribute to the time that Dave Morrison got similar treatment from the bottle men in Dalymount a few years back.

Mine was when even the most blinded of those who totally denied the state their club was in on here and elsewhere would've finally admitted it(to themselves anyway) yesterday. To be fair at least they're doing something about it. I hear Madden and diver have been sent over to Parkhead to clean the jacks to pay next months wages.

I heard they were due to do a couple of months mucking out at the Pig Sty down in Tallaght - but declined due to the threat of contracting Swine Flu from the natives - sadly it got Neale Fenn before anything could be done about it...

his goal was enough to silence them, surely? Anything else was unnecessary provocation in what is always the most hostile Dublin derby anyway.

Sean Connor was there?

Right up there with Marino's retort earlier

You're making it too easy.
