what a waste of time this thread is, from the very first post.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Well, I will say this, on Rovers first visit to Oriel Pk last May, the trouble was caused by no more than 10, 15 max of their fans, I made a point of looking into the away section when it kicked off and the vast majority there didnt want anything to do with it, and never moved.
A lot of clubs have a certain scum element, but its not right tarring the good decent fans of the many clubs who spend good money travelling the country to watch their team, with the minority that want to cause trouble.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
Much the same as the few banned at SDCC stadium - ban expired I believe. Of course bans at Dalymount should never expire unlike those for fans that invade the pitch or slag off players about deceased realitives
At tallaght the Derry 4 (thought there was only 4 charged) would merit a place on the board.
Only ever recall one fan making such comments (at Tolka park -same game O'Dowd was booked for giving Bohs fans two fingers) and some of us around him told him to stop which he did. Horrible thing to do, but dont recall Bohs ever claiming he was banned ? shams did claim one person was banned for abusing a then Drogheda player (Simon Webb) despite ban lasting about two weeks.

You mean the O'Dowd stuff that Marino says didn't happen?
Never sought to justify anyone "singing" about it. horrible and wrong whether it was one or dozens despite the provocation O'Dowd consistently indulged in versus Bohs. not smething to be ever sung about at football matches Personally can only recall one person singing it, as I said at the Tolka game (Ballybough end). My point was I dont remember the club saying anyone was banned over it (whether they should have or not) and this is how it differs from the Webb case where shams issued a statement saying an individual was banned (incidentially there was a lot more than one slagging Webb as well)

1 is enough and if he was banned good but a 2 and a half year ban expires, just like the Derry lads. Have already said on here plenty of times about the abuse O'Dowd got about his brother being wrong. I would argue with 'dozens' though.
Anyway, not getting into you did this, we did this rubbish.
