Yeah we have UEFA in our back pocket.
I know the sentiment was harshly put (probably too harshly) but to be fair Slash/Ed.....
-Smoke Cannisters may be tolerated by your stewards, but they are not acceptable to UEFA (having said that fair play ton the BD boys for the display)
-You still make absolutely no effort to keep those kids off the pitch at the full time whistle, which should mean a 500yoyo fine every home game by the EL's own rulebook
-Bohs were fined last week because a missile was thrown at a ref, more than one missile was aimed at Pat Dolan in tolka a while back, one hit him in the face (thrown by one of those kids on the pitch)
where are the reprimands and fines???
When clubs like Bohs and City put time and money into Stewarding that succeeds in stopping invasions onto the pitch, it's perfectly understandable that fans get frustrated when Shels appear to pocket the money that they should be spending on the same job.
It frustrates the sh!t out of me anyway.

Fair point on the kids, the pitch invasions thing is easily avoidable and something that irritates me aswell. The standard of stewarding at Tolka Park is very poor, you're not wrong there, but, on the Smoke Cannisters, as far as I know they are not illegal by UEFA regulations. Flairs are, and there was an announcement about them, but Smoke Cannisters are a different thing altogether and I don't think UEFA fine people who use them. They're seen all over Europe in European matches.
Fair enough. I'm not 100% so I'll happily take your word on that.
I think you meant Flares though,
'coz we all know Flair has been outlawed at Tolka for ages and ages

What about a large banner simply with
Believe....
Might even get a well known drinks company to lash a few pound your way
That's a very very very good idea, like it a lot

And if we still had adidas as kit suppliers, we could do the whole "impossible is nothing" approach.
I think a plan is just a list of things that don't happen - Mr Parker
It's great to see people coming up with ideas and saying 'how bout doing....' and 'why not do..........' but aside from 451 lads how many people have actually made up banners etc for this game?????
the eircom League has banned both flares and smoke bombs, so shels are breaking the rules. the stewarding at tolka is brutal and shels do get away with this shít repeatedly. fact
WHAT!!!!!!!! SHELS BREAKING THE RULES,..................NEVER
.............
it is a bit of a surprise- as was pointed out earlier, shels usually make the rules
This wasn't an Eircom League match. Still, rant away, it has to beat trying to fish compliments from the Pats fans all day.
fine, good point. maybe they are allowed by UEFA- I was fairly sure they weren't but I won't argue with you. And as I have already said, City can get compliments from far better places than Pats.
Ya and they also lookf for help when it comes to sorting these things out and thats when people start getting slow to offer their services!!!451 started this thread asking for ideas.
Did any of this come off on Saturday?how about...
Cork City - Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
The crowd was massive!
Have Boot Disk, will travel
masks did. not sure if they actually worked though
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
they didn't really, you had to hoild them up as opposed to put them on (i.e. no strings attached

its all well and good suggesting ideas or complimenting displays, but more people are needed to sort these things out. Speaking personally, I spent 5 or 6 hours before the NEC game sorting stuff out and I just don't have the time to do that every week. Neither do the other people who helped out. Simple as that. If people want to see this kind of thing regularly, they have to get the finger out. Someone willing to give even an hour every few weeks would make a huge difference
