What the hell is that? So no chance of a bunch of scumbags hopping on a bus up to Drogheda then. Basically I'm sick of these posts, maybe there is a problem with a certain minority of Bohs fans but why bother constantly highlighting it on this forum? You should be reporting any incidents to the Guards and getting some of these thugs prosectued.
As regards the above incident, it still has not been proven to me that they were in fact Bohs fans attending the match. Bohs til i die is spot on in that, Bohemian F.C. can take no responsibility for fans of the club that engage in public order offences outside the vicinity of the ground and is a matter for the Gardai.

1. It was an incident in a pub about a mile away from the ground, so NO it has nothing to do with football. I received a call last night about 5 minutes after the full time whistle and it was from a Bohs fan leaving the ground who was watching the Gardai chase away a gang of locals [some wearing Drogheda colours as well] waiting outside the ground looking for trouble. How come Drogheda fans dont mention this?
2. Tickets went on general sale on Thursday morning to non members. Bohs fans were also able to buy tickets from Drogheda United [or Drogheda ticket outlets] and gain admission to the away section with tickets bought for the home section.
3. Those who caused the trouble might have been in Drogheda town but they might not necessarily have been at the game. I watched the game on TV and from the close ups of the away support, there wasnt too many schooligans/BSC in the away shed.
4. Bohs havent always taken the issue seriously but in the past 12-18 months the club have done a lot of good work to keep these arseholes out of our own ground. That info is passed onto other clubs in the build up to our away games and its up to the club we are playing to refuse entry to those who have been identified and banned from Dalymount. Some clubs are very good at acting upon such info [notably Pats] but others dont bother.
I am suprised to hear this sort of stuff goes on in the EL I have only been to one game but at that the fans were mixing with each other both outside and inside the stadium there was no hint of trouble at all! Do all EL teams have this sort of a hooligan element within their fanbase?

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Does anyone have any factual evidence about an incident in Drogheda?
All I can add is that, whilst I don't get to got to too many games now, the GDU brothers go all the time. The GDU family have been doing it for years. We're Bohs.
We don't do trouble.
However the only time, the brothers were involved in a incident leaving a ground, where there was a blatant attack was ehhhh.... Drogheda last season.
And the Gardai, did nothing, even when the prepetrators were pointed out to them. One of the brothers, nearly didn't go on Friday, as a result. [they all went int he end and had a great time].
So Drogheda fans just be careful before you cast the first stone [or "slab" of concrete]. There are undesirable *******s attached to most football clubs.

Just off the top of my head:
1. Throwing rocks at rovers fans in turners cross a couple of years ago
2. Starting on drogheda lads in a pub beside turners cross
3. Singing sick sellafield songs in drogheda - and another song bordering on racist
4. Caught live on setanta spitting at drogheda united players as they left the pitch
No point in highlighting these things but ffs if you're going to come on saying you're roll models, ye give me no choice - no group of supporters can say they're 'roll models', every club has a scum 'element'![]()
DAN CONNOR HATES CITY, HE HATES LANGERS
In fairness to bohs they actually have banned some of the schooligan element and tbh theres nothing they can do if their scumbags travel to away matches to cause trouble!!
What more can bohs do? (and btw in the past i wouldve been the first to critice bohs attitude to their scum element).
EDIT: Was talking to a mate there on friday - what the f*** is the 'soccer' about in their hoolie name for - sounds a but g@y to me
DAN CONNOR HATES CITY, HE HATES LANGERS
That's Bull Gilberto.We often get a bunch of moronic twits for games against Sligo/Athlone/Rovers etc.
As for the away support.All the GUST crew would know each other but we don't know everyone that travels.It would be pretty sad if we did.Very Limerick-esque.
Having said that for Sligo away you could easily get a few travelling interested in causing trouble.

well GUST are literally all that travel anyway...apart frm maybe 3 games this year when some dublin people turned up at the games there!..that didnt even happen for pats either!.
we dont have no scum element... what you think a couple of young fellas who turn up and sing songs are scholligans??.... a rock was thrown at the sligo bus ya by how many kids??... 3/4 or 5 and they ran, thats not a scum element thats a few friends acting hard and you'll always get small incidents at matches with large crowds, were talking about groups of ppl here!! when has anyone been hammered or a large group caused trouble??... never.
sure a few lil kids were throwing small rocks at us in ballybofey last year in the stand! id hardly call that an element by any means either!!...

There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
was that the one where rovers fans were removed from the ground fro trying to start fights? and "rocks" is a bit generous description of the pebble dashing off the side of the stand. not condoning it but it hardly compares to putting bricks through pub windows
starting on them? did they finish?2. Starting on drogheda lads in a pub beside turners cross
please, please tell me you don't think "drogheda, drogheda, al-qaeda" is racist? we got that from galway who sang that before you signed... well, any of your foreigners!3. Singing sick sellafield songs in drogheda - and another song bordering on racist
4. Caught live on setanta spitting at drogheda united players as they left the pitchwhen? in tolka?
you mean role models, right? rather than roll models. i think james keddy is a roll model.No point in highlighting these things but ffs if you're going to come on saying you're roll models, ye give me no choice - no group of supporters can say they're 'roll models', every club has a scum 'element'
i never said we were role models but compared to the behaviour, mostly from dubs, up and down the country every match day, we're bloody angels if the worst things you can come up with is a clown or two spitting at your players, and some kids responding to rovers years agoand since we're mostly talking about traveling fans in this thread, i challenge you to find one match where travelling city fans did anything more than get p*ssed and light a flare. i know you cant wind up "****ies" since you're banned from our forum but please try to at least appear to have a bit of perspective

Jaysus, they did a bloody great Cork accent for Dubs.
So if Cork have no hoolie poblem why the 18 page thread on theis non existant problem on your forum?
Cork hoolie thread!
Also on my way back into Cork City Centre on the bus that night there were wannabe schoolies behind me talking about how they were going to get clothes like "the bohs lads" and head up to Dublin for a fight against us or Rovers.
