Pictures of Shels thugs at Tolka v Cork City

Even at games with the smaller clubs in the league we have more than 6 stewards, i can name you more than 6 stewards who do every single home game in Tolka!

If you're going to make a statement,at least make it credible!

Sorry for the double post but i agree completely!!
They shouldn't have to add it,it should be high on the list already to be honest!

Where are they during the games so? Look at those pictures, you can see about one-third of the pitch and hlaf of the Richmond Road stand but there is only one steward in view. Where are the rest? Count the orange jackets that you can see at your next home game.

Over by the tunnel area, "protecting" the referee etc...

I dont need to count the orange jackets,i know about 10 people who steward in Tolka every home game!

**Stato** · 13/08/2006, 7:07 PM

Still a long way off the 30 or 40 that other clubs use.

Judging by the title of the thread I half expected to see a burning Cork City bus being overturned by a mob.

Rise above it they're only a few kids for god sake. If you feel intimidated by that lot you really need to get out more (or possibly less if you were really scared)

If Shels have a problem with knacker kids it'll come back to bite them in the behind eventually when ordinary decent folk stop turning up.

To describe them as thugs in the thread title is a bit alarmist.

To say Shels don't deserve a place in the top flight is ludicrous

That's a shamelessly written piece of spin.

The angle that article takes makes it sound like Shels fans are the victims of provocation, and that they should resist such evil opposition temptations at all times. No suggestion whatsoever that any wrong doing may eminate from Shels fans, which is just pathetic.

Reminiscent of a parent who believes their kids can do no wrong...

I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Can you make out what happened? Prize for the winner

Why can't shels steward their ground properly & keep people off the pitch?

Here you go, these should help you get things into perspective.

who would have guessed pre season that the most problematic group of fans in the land would be shels fans....

I know I would have bet my house on it being Rovers fans

**stevieontour** · 14/08/2006, 1:33 AM

Kids or no Kids, throwing something can hurt anyone.

Way out of order stuff.

Maybe next time one of them do it, the other Shels fans could grab him and pass him over the fence into the Away fans to deal with him!

That would put a swift end to the issue.

When Shels played us at Windsor a handful of young lads moved down the North Stand towards the Linfield supporters in the Kop Stand in an attempt to start something but thankfully it was nothing major.

**monutdfc** · 14/08/2006, 9:00 AM

Why do we never hear of Shels being fined when after every single game they play in Tolka there's loads of kids on the pitch, well before the players and ref have left the field????
