fair play to davey mac and danny north who came over and applauded the pats fans throughout all that
When hoodie climbed over the fence, there were no Hoops on the pitch until he got to the halfway line. I did check. I don't go on pitches to celebrate anything, don't see the point, but it's the sport culture to do it in this country, and our fans won't be the last to do it either. The trouble with pitch invasions, is that someone won't stop at merely celebrating. And when that happens, all hell breaks loose.
But there has been numerous incidents at this fixture in that ground, going back at least 10 years. First it was stones, then it was stabs, now it's bottles and umbrellas. The stewarding is, and always has been a joke there, and has to be sorted out.

Clubs find it nigh impossible to get fans to volunteer to steward as it is; if scenes like last night go on then it's harder again. We all don't have council cash or civil defense to cover costs like paid stewards, whom in the case of Frontline, are even worse again.
It's either the same 100-200 involved in trouble every time over the years or else it's a different group at every game. There is no way that SRFC management and officials can say they don't know anybody involved time and time and time again,
Taken from the big book of cliches?
All that sort of carry on needs to break out is one idiot. It may seem good natured then but....
Every club has a few dopes supporting them but not in the same numbers and not with the same intent and frequency.
As I said last night, whenever you hear of trouble at games you always see the name of Rovers come up and it's rarely at their home games. Not ****ting on their own doorsteps, are they?
Shed End Invisibles. Where are we??
Just one point on the "hangers on" argument. Every Rovers fan who got a ticket for last night was either a member, or a season ticket holder

Bohs are going bust.
Absolutely not true.
Ireland: Discovered!
Not quite Dodge, myself for example couldn't get to tallaght on Monday night so I bought a Pats ticket from the booth last night and strolled into the Rovers end with it no questions asked. if I did it I'm sure others would have also.
On 2fm now! Colm hayes show
Just a question, should you sack your Rovers insider? He never seems to be right...
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Just a thought for umbrella man for next time.
Very handy for deflecting bottles
Who coined the term 'Model Club?'
Sporting F*ck All!
I posted this before last night's game, little did I know that there'd be a the night of the long brolleys..... It would be nice to stay dry for a change.
Apologies. Still if the weather looks inclement for the final I know what to do now.
No Stu that's Aiden McGeady, must have nipped over as soon as the Chelsea game finished
celebrity fan there behind and to the left of the main hoolie - i think he was in Avatar.
I cant believe that these asheholes have any feelings for the clubs they must know that this only takes away from the success of the evening, terrible that the chairman spends his press conference taking about matters other than the game.
what a bunch of ********s...
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
Its old news at this stage but I can tell you exactly what happened since I was outside Mooneys when your lot were at it.
The man in question who is the manager of Centra was on crutches at the door of Centra, he was stopping a few of your lot from coming in because last season they were robbing drink and one of them pulled a knife on him.
When he stopped a few young lads words were said and one of them grabbed one of his crutches and threw it out on the road.
He started swinging at them and this was all infront of their bus which was parked up beside Centra.
All thier mates from the bus (including the bus driver) came out Danny Dyer style and started flinging cans and bottles at the lad on crutches and at the Shop and smashed windows in the shop, they also ran up to a few young lads on the road Green Street style "giving it large" was fairly cringeworthy stuff.
Now I dont have a clue whos bus from Shams it was or who ran it or any of that, hence why I never once mentioned any of your supporters buses or anything like that.
This is common knowledge among Rovers fans and alot of people around after the game saw this.
I dont know whether you actually think im making this up for the craic or are just denying it happened to avoid the uncomfortable truth, but I can send you the lads name who was on crutches by PM if you wish and you can ask him his version of events the next time your down.
Not that this has anything to do with what happened last night, just as usual a sizeable amount of your support gives this league alot of negative publicity that it cannot afford, its not that anything is that serious, just really handbags especially compared to the 70's and 80's. I couldnt care less about the BSC and Shams Casuals because they largely leave it away from the grounds, its the scumbags who constantly give negative headlines to the rags in the public eye that I hate.
Anyway, congrats to Rovers on the win last night. From the highlights on the news, i thought the sending off was very harsh and didnt think it was even a free kick.
.......because you say so?
Ill make my own my own mind up thanks.
Its a knife wielding thug now is it?
Sensationalist bull usually ruins any chance of a proper discussion on here with agendas from both sides spiralling out of control and the facts getting lost among the vitriol-Thanks for adding yours!
if he continues to deny the problem the he is just reinforcing it. I hope the decent Rovers skins on here realise that the constant denial of a problem or trying to shift blame onto every other possible source is a sure fire way of eliminating the remaining goodwill they had built up since they reformed. Not that i care about the welfare of your club but its doing Shamrock Rovers no favours and if i was you id be hoping that Roche would be issuing 100 bans to the culprits from last night.
Not wishing to rub it in at all and recognising that we have an element too on occasion (though i dont think it is anywhere near the size of yours) and are by no means perfectly behaved, we have a pretty good record of banning known troublemakers from Dalymount and going to reasonable lengths to make sure that they didnt get in to away grounds too.
Anyway, all im saying is quit burying your heads in the sand as a club, quit denying there is a problem and take a stand against the scumbags.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
