Bohs fan in Ibiza faces extradition to Austria after arrest for assault
A YOUNG Irish football fan is facing extradition from Spain after being arrested on the holiday island of Ibiza for an alleged incident in Austria in July 2009.
On September 5 the Dubliner was arrested on the Mediterranean island on an international arrest warrant relating to an alleged assault and theft which occurred a day before Dublin club Bohemians played a Europa League qualifying match against RB Salzburg on July 14, 2009.
Austrian police allege three young men were involved in attempting to rob a bike and knocked over an 83-year-old Bavarian woman visiting the Austrian city, seriously injuring her.
I seem to remember a thread on this at the time. If the Austrian police are taking things this far, I'd say the little scallywag is in trouble.
Yep, the thread was deleted (and I got banned for posting in the thread at the time) because no links were available in English or something silly like that and no formal charges had been brought, now presumably because the little scamp had gotten a train out of Austria asap. You think an international arrest warrant potentially hanging over your head would be the type of thing that might make you consider just going to Courtown instead of Ibiza this year.
I also seem to recall it was a pretty dire thread, even of its type, which is saying something!
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
Didn't Bohs fans say something along the lines of "it wasn't a Bohs fan, one Bohs fan was wearing the same type of clothes and was interviewed as a suspect but it wasn't him"
Or am I imagining that?

To be fair, I remember reading on their forum and most of their fans acknowledged the scumbags were Bohs fans and condemned the incident.
Hope he gets what he deserves.
all that was said here is that despite the uproarious drama posters here were engaging in, no-one had been charged and there were several other groups of english speaking people in Salzburg that night including a group of fans of an English club. All true at the time.
Anyway, extradition from Ibiza to Austria? Rapid buzz. Throw another shrimp on the barbie.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Fairly bizarre story given that when it first broke she was supposedly dead. Perhaps it is suffering from bad translations but it seems the Austrian police have changed their story more times than a Rovers fan on the way back from a klan gathering (just a joke before anyone gets upset).
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

Got off with a suspended sentence. They mentioned there were others involved, so what happened to them?
there was an article in our local paper of a bohs fan up in court in monaghan recently for breach of the peace and incitment, judge said he was a hooligan and was not welcome back in the town.
It was in the northern standard about 3 weeks ago
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
The story itself (about the woman) doesn't quite add up. I read the story in German and it's not quite what was presented in English. Plus she was first dead, then in danger of death, then made a full recovery, now she's an invalid. I'm not condoning the stupidity that led to her injury/suffering, it just shows that a good idea isn't always good. I remember the story of the young lad who was standing on top of a car in 1998 in Nurnberg waving an extra large Croatian flag (after Croatia's win over his land of birth), it caught on a tree, he flew off the car and a van coming the opposite way ran over him.
