    I have no clue what you are on about but nothing happened after that game. Good luck in Tallaght and Dalyer...

So how you met any Rovers is beyond me.
    Also I don't care if you have any respect for me! Nothing major happened, that's all.

    Complete and utter nonsense. Will the mods please take the responsible action and remove this thread. Also, dannydundalk has taken a major back-track here by saying "People said this" and "I heard that"....Surely this is posting uncoroborrated (sp) 'facts' and should be removed forthwith. Mind you, the thread casts aspersions on Rovers so I'm sure it will be allowed to run as usual. By the way, Dunny, it's good to see an intelligent poster on this thread offering some honesty.

    we went jumped the wall and tried to get back into oriel ,,however a lad with a baton threatened myself and the girl i was with to get out
    i then saw my other two mates to get them away safe .the four of us aged 16/17
    we then ran up carrick road as we thought there was loads of rovers fans down that town area
    to our horror, we walked on fastly and then got as far as mace on acrrick road and looked back and saw huge numbers of rovers lads all in green and white
    we then went into the lis na dara estate (to which was empty dublin buses waiting on them )
    and we then ran straight into the estate, had to hide in a back garden as we were terrifed ..house was unoccupied so we were grand we kept hearing shouts
    so we were afraid to go out .we stayed their for over 20 mins ..just so we would be safe ...
    whilst in the garden i rang the guards and they said they couldnt come for 30mins (understandable as they were all out at the riots)
    so i then hung up and waited another while
    then we went on down about 10:30 probably
    we went passed oriel okay everyone gone got as far as friary (pearce park side) and heard a shout so we ran back up garda station then the lads had to get home we went down friary(jockeys area) we then saw four lads in black they shouted and chased us we then went bk up garda station and decided right we'll go down friary(peaarse park as soon as we could) so we went on down and got as far as ice house hill and looked back and saw lads running at us
    we then made our way to a mates house and okay

    but tonight was a disgrace .........we are aged 15/17 just into football...well as a lot of users on this know me i am just mad about the football and sleep live it you know ......
    but everything we had to go through was just sick
    I dunno where to start to tell you were your wrong so ill just say it YOUR WRONG

    Is Harps the only fans in LOI to have a good relationship with Rovers fans?

    This looks like one of those American comedy scenes where some of the guys on the college football team chase the nerds around for the craic.

    LOL, hiding in a persons garden in an estate

    All hell broke loose yet no-one else saw it?

    This Friary, which evidentally looks like its down by either pearce park or jockeys area,seemed to be a popular area to run into.

    A best seller is on the cards me thinks. If a book deal falls through im sure Hollywood would lap it up.

    Damn Rovers scumbags, never liked them.

    Dunny in fairness just because you didn't see it didn't mean it didn't happen. The incident before the game did happen and heard it from many sources. The incident after the game was apparently caused from lads who were not even at the match. The vast majority of the Rovers fan's that were at the match were well behaved apart from the minority who kicked down the security fence and charged the stand and the were giving Mansaram racist abuse.

    I saw two incidents

    1/ The mob of around 20 rovers fans arriving late intent on getting into the home end when they knew the other 380 or so rovers went into the away section (completely different entrance)

    This crew knew exactly what they were doing, trying to pass themselves off as Dlk fans and rushed the security and had to charged back onto the main street

    2/ Another rush of fans from the away terrace at the sending off, and some got into the stand

    Apart from these two incidents, from what I saw the majority of rovers fans were ok, highly charged but seemed to be decent enough

    Cant comment post game, as i had other priorities, like driving home to my family !

    ps the game was a pure robbery win !

    Charge the stand me hole i was sat right beside the away dugout and they broke through the barrier allright but it was to get into shelter and once they got under the stand they started dancing and signing, "racist abuse" your wrong as i only heard one gob****e shout something and he was told to shut up.

    Fair enough about the racist abuse Just heard from someone that some stuff was shouted didn't get any more details. It's still one person too many shouting stuff.
    As for the barrier, it was only a few that kicked it down the rest if the fans followed in after. I originally thought that they were trying to get in from the rain but was told by a few people this morning that they were trying to get at the linesman straight after the sending off. Like i said it was only about 4 or five with one fella that seemed to be the ringleader.
    Is a coincidence that both the linesman and ref were standing near the players tunnel until the rovers fan's calmed down?

    dunny wtf is your problem? just because you didn't witness this you say that he is telling lies and is a drama queen . I was there and I witnessed all of the above. Its a disgrace that innocent fans can't go to a football game without been terrified .

    All I can say on the issue is that upon leaving Oriel walking past the train station entrance there was a large group of people in the car park(presumably getting their cars) and next of all 2 squad cars came flying up the road withtheir sirens on and about 5-6 guards each side of the road legging it up to Oriel. I didnt see anything as it was p!ssing rain and there where alot of people about so!All I can say is that there was a select few Rovers fans trying to cause something on the groundsa that when Bradley was red carded, they knocked over the barrior to prevent them getting behind the dugouts and ran towards the tunnel in which the stewarts puuled out the steel tunnel out to prevent them from meeting the Dundalk fans under the stand the far side.

    After the game aload of them jumped up onto the walls surrounding the pitch and a few where actually over the wall so!Make what you like of it, I dont care!

    I think the thread title is a bit OTT and dannydundalk was obviously a bit out of sorts when writing it.

    However unfortunately the incidents before and after the game did happen. I was one of the last to leave the ground after being in the shop and when I got out there were about 20 rovers "fans" (and I use the word fans loosely) pinned in the entrance on the old hotel by the Gardai, they were trying to get by the guards to start a fight. Eventually they started moving them down the road and unfortunately for me, my dad and others they were across the road from us all the way to the bridge. We were trying to figure out how they got out but from reading other stuff it seems they were not at the game and they might have been the lads who tried to get into the home section before the game and were refused entry.

    On the racism stuff I was on the shed side so didn't hear anything but it was actually a rovers fan on orielweb that mentioned it and said it was not on, so fair play to him.

    I'm not trying to stir anything up against rovers as the fans at the game were fine and in good voice, but people are suggesting that this stuff didn't happen and I seen it with my own eyes, so lay off dannydundalk, he may be a bit emotional after what happened to him but most of what he says is true.

    A bit thin.

    The original story at the top of this thread is a bit thin.It could do with a few Orc's and Elves and a Lord of the Rings type huge battle scene where Rovers fans led by the evil Lord Sauron laid siege to Oriel Park.
    In fairness,maybe it did happen but just the way you describe it Danny makes it hard to follow.It might be better if you make your complaint to the gardai though and not here.
