Trouble outside Stadiums

**Lim till i die** · 10/04/2011, 1:20 PM

Some stories that are equally relevant to the League Of Ireland:

Number 1

Number 2

Number 3

Man hits van - Man gets slap of something from owner of van.

I swear I'm going to start a thread anytime someone on the estate gets a slap of something, I might just lift things from the crime pages of the Limerick Post, Trouble Outside Stadiums 3, 4 and 5 coming soon.

Also, Sligo fans, from my limited experience of jurisprudence in this country, if you're on the side of the intinerent, you're probably in the wrong.

That's not to say that any of this (or any of that other thread) have a whit to do with football

Exactly. While it's dodgy that some lad had a baseball bat in his van and was willing to use it, I've no sympathy for anyone that attacks someone's property and then gets their comeuppance.

This pretty much sums up my feelings on the incident pretty well.

How anyone thinks that attacking someones property is ok is beyond me...

Hibs4Ever, get down of your high horse. I'm certainly not condoning it, but for gods sake, what do ye think was going to happen if you start banging and kicking a gypos van? Plenty of nonsense being spouted by people who didn't see the incident and weren't at the game. The usual craic.

Lock this thread mods.

Following on from this. A Pats fan was attacked witha bat/baton last night after the game in Sligo. Nasty looking head injury when we passed him while he was being seen in the ambulance.

Sligo fan confirmed the story on twitter too

Good of you Dodge to start this whole thing but only give half the story, suits your side of the argument better I suppose. You obviously didn't see it so perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to come on here saying what happened.

Check this post for the story of what actually happened. Doesn't justify the bat but does explain better why it happened.

dont see a lot wrong with the Sligo version of events here. Seems to make a lot more sense than some Pats fan being innocently attacked with a baseball bat by a sole Sligo fan as the original poster implied. Unfortunately for the guy who got battered he picked the wrong guy to act the hard lad with. It happens sometimes and if it does you take your beating from time to time for being a stupid idiot. Stupid idiots deserve very little sympathy and mostly just sympathy for being that thick in the first place.

Another stupid thread about trouble outside stadiums. Yawn.

i stand corrected. i was in the carpark and didnt see the driver. by the time we got onto the road, the young lad came and moved the van. i took it that he was the driver.

Have to love Sligo fans if he had happened to a fan of Sligo they woud want the FBI involved..

Busting someones head open with a bat makes you just as much of a scumbag...Bit of a difference between hitting a van or busting someones head open by the way.

its getting to the stage where i dont think i would bring a child to a game anymore. i think every club and i include sligo rovers in that, need to address the trouble that imo is escalting in loi grounds. its a sad state of affairs when you fear for you and your childs safefty leaving a loi ground and i think everyone here will agree !!!

Ah lovely....

it sounds like the guy in the van was a pikey(possibly even from limerick he he ) so nothing to do with sligo rovers. pikeys are scumbags , again you should know this more than most. last if the pats fan didnt start hitting the van he wouldnt have got spanked. its all his own fault .

**pauliek** · 10/04/2011, 6:25 PM

Remember when Shams fans attacked Des Cosgrove of Centra across from the Showgrounds, and robbed him blind.

Michael O Neill was at the game last night and my brothers friends uncle seen him in the back of the van

If this evidence can be produced Sligo should be docked 10 points and Shamrock Rovers should be given an additional + 25 goal difference.

Can't even have a day off the internet now can I? I have to sit here and await every response?

I said a Pats fan got hit with a bat. That's not rumour, that's 100% true. Couldn't give a toss if the whole of Sligo thinks he deserved it.

Ah now, your post made it look like some lad just randomly took a baseball bat to some innocent bystanding pats fans

well of course the whole of Sligo knows he deserves it and it would seem most of the rest on here with the obvious exception of the shams (of course) agree but honestly if some Sligo fan was hitting your auto while you were sitting in it and of course your an auld lad and he is a young man what would you do (bear in mind you cant drive away cos of people in way. be honest now dodge would you a) call the cops b)get out passanger door and run or c) beat the bollex out of the pr%^k .
