Yep, I didnt see the incident that lead to the 2 lads being turfed out, but from
talking to the Dundalk lads in the bar they said that had they got them first
they'd have thrown them out themselves.

Apart from that there was no bother from either sets of fans. Segregated for
the game but all mingled and chatted away at half and full time. Bit of singing
and a bit of banter.

The Derry ones are a pile of balls. I remember last year when we got shafted by the Corkies there was some really heated stuff going on right in front of the stewards and **** all was done.

Ye can sorta understand it though. Imagine a couple of hundred fans turned nasty. The stewards would have no chance.

Just want to say the problems weren't just with those Dundalk fans as we had a few turfed out or refused entry as well

the cork stewards were assh0les to us last season but this year they were bang on. so far the galway stewards have been the worst by a country mile, they took airhorns off us (the blow in ones not gas) kicked 2 fans out (ok they were drunk!! but still come on) threaten to take our drums off us as they were too loud, let the knacker kids open the big gate to let their friends in for nothing and in general complete tools.

rovers had no stewards near us when in tolka and the bohs ones were grand and very helpful when they were asked to do something.

imo ours are crap aswell.

As much as I hate those things, that's shocking.

Personally I taught the Derry security was class,big,huge,shaved heads and mean faces,what else do ya need?

Harps was a joke,we had over 400 fans on Friday,no bag searchs.Two stewards(or stewerts as a few on the Harps forum call them

) that did nothing,flares and smoke canisters were openly being passed around and once I seen a steward look directly at this happening and just looked away. 40+ bog/till rolls got in aswell

**ramsfan** · 29/04/2008, 10:12 PM

we had about ten stewards to four ucd fans on friday, feckin students dont know what theyll do next, feckin tax dodgers

250 odd people at Turners X last night and a steward tried moving about a half dozen of us from the St.Annes end...

To be fair to the poor guy he explained that he didn't really care and that his orders were coming from above and when we told him that we were happy where we were he left us to it.

the professional stewards at galway last week were consficating water bottles (plastic) at the gate. really a joke. hope stewarding doesn't become as bad as the standard of referring, in what used to be called the old chicken league (kentucky & pat grace)
