Love it when ultras light up stadiums the world over Im with the kid f..k the fat steward ,nothing hazzardous about flare displays when organised properly in fact it only becomes dodgy when you ban them.Our Ultras displays in Tolka on youtube for example ,organised and safely disposed of in sand buckets working with the stewards no probs.I wish that fat steward the very best trying to enforce a flag and banner ban against the Dublin clubs.Love creating probloms for yourselves up there it seems.

I did say that Ultras should raise money to pay the stupid fines read my posts before having a go as for the other lad calling me a muppet relax will ya.As a result of how Drogs have handled this you now have to stop away fans bringing flags and banners good luck with that you really have done your bit to create atmosphere..........muppet

So your philosophy is to delibarately break the rules just to let off a bit of red smoke and just be a general annoyance to everyone, and then willingly pay the fine while you are banned from the club?? You'll go far.
It's easier said than done to cough up the coin, especially in the last year or so. Will the 6 who are banned pay the club's fine?? Will they f*ck. What a way to show your support. Heap more bills on a broke club. Idiotic is a generous word in this case.
I think I have made myself clear in relation to the banners case. However, flares are pointless and fans know where they stand. They are simply not allowed. End of.
You've got no fans.
I'm going to ask a question and i'll ask anyone who isn't 100% sure to refrain from answering but do your respective clubs recieve the fines? As in, are they actually enforced?
They always cheat, they always lie
**** Delaney and the FAI
yeah MeathDrog I think bad laws and rules should be broken light em up and pay the fines but you need an ultras group that can raise their own warchest to cover the fines if it annoys you sit somewhere else ,or put on your reboks man and go and play fooken tennis I really dont care our polititions clergy gardai and FAI aswell as our entire banking system have said fook the rules why should we care about a few flares in a small town near Dundalk get a grip.
I actually agree with Rovershead, I mean who the hell do the club think they are - fans trying to drum up a it of banter.
Do the fans own the club or some directors willing to bow down to the Fai?
Imagine complaining about bad langauge at a football game -
As for fines - let the club pay them, if they want go ahead!!!!
Listen up wicklow boy , the ultras in general do a great job and are well supported by all of us in the ground ,young and old .I have personally raised money in the past to pay for displays etc and im far from an ultra .BUT they have been warned about flares many times .We are a club who are barely hanging on finacialy and we are struggling big time to meet to day to day finacial requirements of the leauge, i.e we are f'@ckin broke to the stones and it aint getting any easier .The issue of the banner is a joke and the banning of flags and banners will not be inforced , either will the banning of 6 individuals from the ground as the club hasnt picked out 6 of them from the entire group .We have a game against corkcity tomorrow and i promise you they will all be there . And by the way rovershead for a man who is so concerned about atmosphere you failed to create any whatsoever in tallaght on sat , not a peep out of you until you scored and even after that you dissapeared entirely .or is it the acoustics in the ground
so the lads are not banned ,typical Drog thread ending with personalised attacks after a non story.All I was doing was defending 6 fans that I was led to believe had been treated harshly.
consensual bestiality is not a crime.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Who decides if a banner is offensive or not?We got a fine for a banner which said that Ollie (God rest him)was a cigg smuggler.can a fact be offensive?
You appear to have some difficulty handling (or is it understanding?)a viewpoint contrary to your own!
It is really irrelevant whether I personally find the banners offensive; but surely it is not difficult for any reasonable person to understand why they are likely to be seen as provocative, insulting or confrontational by some.
But then, I suspect that is the whole point of these particular banners!
Colourful, well made banners and displays add tremendously to the atmosphere (even poorly made witty ones contribute). But the 'race to the bottom' in search of a nadir of bad taste is hardly laudable or desirable.
How the FAI view them is an entirely distinct issue - the fact that some "fans" continue with banners/flares that are likely to be deemed as offensive/dangerous and lumber their club with fines speaks volumes for the mindset involved.
(For what it is worth, my comment on the "cultural ethos of tribal confrontation" was that it is unique in Irish sport - generally segregation of rival supporters is not necessary or desirable in Irish rugby or GAA.)
was that what it was i thought dennis had decided to let it grow wild myself!if the flares cost money when we have **** all then dont be at it.banner flags is a farce,can someone clarify is it our wonderful board the the FAI bringing that one in??finally anyone offended be the dundalk crest being crapped on im open to correction here but the banner meath drog mentions above came in for a bit of praise from certain members of nbb?maybe it was Bohs Partisan on a visit to our messgae board mentioned that.again im open to correction.
and if your offended by effectvely a drawing on a large piece of cloth i suggest knitting crochet or embroidery for you
