You have must never have been at a match where a riot took place or you would know how ridiculous this comment is. However Mr Hoopman 'Damien Richardson' was insistent that a women (Saints supporter) ran onto the pitch to remonstrate with the the large mob.
I think this women deserves a medal or else she is wonderwoman in disguise.
Back fromt he game. Gutted. Wasn't a sending off and we were the better team before that. Goal was comming for 10 minutes though as Rovers battered us.
As to answer questions as what happened after. I absolutely condone, applaud in fact, every Pats fan who went on to the pitch after being pelted it out of by 100s of Rovers. not a few, 100s.
This is the last I'll post on this thread as I'm not getting into semantics of who, what, where and the usual internet rubbish. EVERY single person who was there knows exactly what happened, and every one knows the blame lies firmly with fans of ROvers. not all of their fans are to blame, but enough of them to make me blame their club.
They've already been warned twice this year (Gary Rogers incident, Dundalk incident). We'll see how the FAI treats their model club

Can't believe we actually won a match. Can't really blame the fans for rioting as on current form we may never repeat the experience.
Are you serious? Are you some sort of budding investigative journalist?
I don't need to retract a post or provide proof when I say I was told it by a third party, and began and ended the post by saying I'm in no position to talk authoritative on the subject, only speculating that something must have riled up the knackers in the above pictures for them to race on the pitch at full time.
Why do you think they ran on the pitch straight down the Pats end after a victory, in which there didn't seem to be much bad blood during the game?

Which I have said several times, I agree completely they're little knacks. But nothing like this has happened at Pats recently (apart from Pats fans coming down the Rovers end last season, but there was no afters either game this season), and there was nothing in the game tonight to spark anything (or so it seemed on the radio). I'd hazard a guess some of those earlier reports were true, some of the Rovers scumbags decided to get some sort of rather sad 'revenge' and ran on the pitch as soon as the whistle blew, when security failed to react others ran on too. That's not me condoning it, I've clearly not tried to do that at all, just trying to make sense of why this would suddenly occur tonight, and not say 5 weeks ago when we also beat you there in a big game.
Out of interest Dodge, did the two sets of fans meet on the pitch resulting in fights breaking out ?

The FAI failed to act when the Shams ran riot in Oriel earlier this year. They fail to recognise the monster that is their so called "model club".

Absolutely ****ing Scumcabs. Are the FAI ever actually gonna doing anything about these Shams *****! Actual grown men in the fourties out on that pitch as well, ****ing stuff up at his.
RTE.
Tuesday, 19 October 2010 22:15 Shamrock Rovers progressed to their first FAI Cup final since 2002 thanks to a Chris Turner strike against ten-man St Patrick's Athletic in this semi-final replay at Richmond Park.
However the night ended with a pitch invasion and supporters from both sides fighting.
Turner smashed a superb shot past Pat's keeper Gary Rogers on 70 minutes to set up a meeting Sligo Rovers at Aviva Stadium on 14 November.
Damian Lynch was sent off on 53 minutes when he pulled at Gary Twigg but the night was marred after the final whistle when Rovers fans invaded the pitch and confronted the Pat's supporters.
St Pat's supporters then ran onto the playing area and several fights broke out as players from both sides raced off to the dressing rooms.
Bottles were thrown by both sets of fans but order was restored by Gardai, stewards and St Patrick's Athletic officials.
Definitely time for the FAI to clamp down hard on Rovers. They've been allowed get away with it for too long.
Lets redefine what it means to heal
No i'm not. But if you can make allegations like that, I can make plenty up about Rovers simple as, because a 3rd party told me.
They were singing about going on the pitch after they scored just like the last they came to Inchicore, this time they followed through, obviously they failed the last day. And to answer your question I have no idea why there so obsessed with running our pitch looking for a row.
Theres a prize for bringing the most fans you know

Just a reminder, to everyone, of that rule.
I went along tonight as a neutral. Nights like tonight make you wonder why the f*ck you bother busting your balls helping your clubs, selling tickets, giving up your time, badgering people to go to game only for a load of knackers to generate more national coverage than you could ever dream of.
Was she a steward? if she wasnt then she was a fool to run onto the pitch and was as bad as everyone else that was causing trouble and i hope St pats ban her from the ground.
Being on the pitch to get away is one thing but to get on the pitch to run towards the opposing fans is out of order.
