The sad thing about the show is it in recent figures it was 12th most popular TV3 show with even more viewers than "Page 3 Teen"
Unfortunately I watcxhed some of the first half of the show & amazing that teens starting fires is news worthy.
You can tell how cheap the show was to make when they have on "expert" for the entire show. He appears to be an expert on everything.![]()
Clubs can't sue, but the league should complain about the standard of journalism.
Any ordinary, decent criminal, sorry, football supporter who was shown during the programme should at least be talking to a libel lawyer. If they are identifiable they have been publicly associated with anti-social behaviour: an observer watching the programme could conclude that he/she was also a hooligan, a hooligan sympathiser, or a disreputable scoundrel who tolerated hooliganism.
The onus is on TV3 to prove either that no such inference can be drawn, or that the person shown actually is a hooligan (more here). In this respect, I was a little disappointed not to have featured outside Dalymount or Tolka.
The fight at The Hill 16 pub was fairly scummy though.The rest of the program was embarassing crap that gave me a good laugh.
I do not have a TV can someone put the holligan part on youtube?
believe they ended with 'If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this programme'.
So TV3. So pathetic and shows the target audience they have in mind.It always strikes me as a TV Station geared at people who don't leave the house and TV3 are determined to keep them from leaving the house. Is Martin King still hanging about?. He was perfect for the that trash TV station. It just always seemed to breed the mos contemptious of presenters such as Martin King and Aidan Cooney I think.
So you ring up and declare you are affected by the issues in the programme. No doubt Lorraine Keane answers the phone and declares TV3 are proposing a fund be set up to help people affected by the issues. Calls cost €1.50 and €1.30 goes to TV3.
Who or what was the expert. Was he called a hooliganism expert and did he try to infiltrate Section O?.
That Hill 16 bit should already be on youtube as looks like thats what TV3 showed.
Watch on TV3 here - LOI related in 2nd half of show.
I watched the show for a laugh there, the slow-motion replay of the bloke chucking the traffic cone, complete with portentous voiceover, was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
The programme felt like a satire on a Bravo/Sky one style show based on the same thing. If it had gone with this line the show would be a classic. Instead they were actually being serious.
Here is that link again for you B.S.G.This clip was the "highlight" of the show,says it all really.

Utter tripe, the lot of it. The only good thing for me is that no tax payers money, in the form of a license fee, was wasted on it. It was akin to Danny Dyer's hooligan programmes on Bravo in terms of cringeworthy embarrassment.
Next week they are going to be doing a whole hour on the disturbing rise in queue skipping in this country. Youtube is been hammered from IPs around CityWest as we speak with search requests for queue related videos. Some of the footage will be shocking, so brace yourselves. Dont watch it in the dark alone!
I've been genuinely trying to think of a worse Tv show in recent memory, but am struggling.
Who the feck was that 'expert' ballax ?! Seriously - who is he ?
A laughable attempt at television. I particularly enjoyed the voiceover attempt to portray a traffic cone as akin to an exocet missile or a samurai sword.
A new low, even for TV3
How hilarious.
I mean.
Ha. What nonsense. Their sources were bebo. That's just hilarious.![]()

the whole program was just full of grainy images and nothing of real substance. the two games then showed where between the same two teams and no mention of any issues at other games.
Bebo as a source is a joke real good journalism
