Cheech, from posts here and newspaper stories over the past year or two i can deduce that
Bohs have a hooligan problem
Rovers have a hooligan problem
Pats have a hooligan problem
Drogs have a hooligan problem
Cork have a hooligan problem
Shels have a hooligan problem
Dundalk have a hooligan problem
whats your point.? Especially when Bohemians have acknowledged the problem and outlined what they are doing to eradicate it.
Whether you like it or not the league is in the **** together. Why do you, Dodge and others use this stuff as some sort of game of oneupmanship?
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
I shall look forward with relish to reading the newspaper reports of Derry City hoolies disgracing their club in European Competition this season
ah wait...
Kom Igen, FCK...
Hey hold on a minute, surely hooliganism is hooliganism regardless of the country it is committed in, regardless of the amount taking part, regardless of the number of arrests?? You cant make up the rules as you go to suit your own argument. Any problem is a problem.
Id also like to point out the final paragraph of the BBC report (ive pasted it below for ease of reference) and also reiterate that the 6 fans arrested were refused tickets by the club.
"A spokesman for the Football Association of Ireland confirmed that its chief security officer was in Rhyl for the game and said none of the Bohemians' 520 supporters were involved in any incidents. "

We've done all of that.
Do you honestly think that Bohs as a club and the majority of Bohs fans are sneaking regarders in this respect? I'd be interested in your suggestions as to how BFC are supposed to stop youngsters -claiming to be Bohs fans - on Dorset St. stoning buses from Tolka on a night when we're playing in Galway, or how we're supposed to stop lads without tickets from taking the ferry to Holyhead.
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.
As these things go, the cops get to blacken Bohs fans' names with risibly OTT preparations, then loftily absolve them when the dreaded riot doesn't materialise.
Police praise fans
Served its purpose though: they get to justify their existence, and Dodge and all the other hooligan story vultures can lap it up. The loser, of course, is football.
Wouldnt agree with that at all, from that list all have had problems with young lads acting the ****** or schooligans. Rovers and Bohs are the only ones with adult hooligans. I know we have a lot of idiots following our club but i couldnt imagine them organising a fight in a foreign country. (just waiting for a wise crack about the only way we'd be in a foreign country is on holidays)
well good for you
here - have a piece of cake

Just a question.............I was seriously thinking of going to see Bohs in Rhyl even though im not a Bohs fan but would like to get behind Eircom League teams abroad, and I lived in wales etc, but in the end i had other commitments so had to cancel. Would i have been prevented from getting off the train and wandering into Rhyl town centre?
I wouldnt comment on something you dont know about2 out of 3 of our group were wearing jerseys and walked 15 minutes through the town centre to our hotel from the train station at about 1pm, and all other fans on the same train did too, and not a word was said to us, apart from a couple of friendly comments from locals...
