It largely boils down to the cult of Ollie - both the behaviour of the club when he was in charge and the attitude of their fans when he was pulling all his stunts. The complete head in the sand attitude to the financial side by their fans is only matched by the same fans sanctimoniously going on about paying debts now.
Most clubs have overspent and overstretched themselves at some stage, but I don't think it's ever been so unquestioned as it was with Shels. Possible exception is Drogs, who are similarly blind when it comes to particular individuals.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Bohs: Fans are tools... can't go for a **** in the place without getting abuse and hassle. Fans have also been known to spit. Must say though, seeing a load of them getting kicked out in Flancare was a very satisfying sight.
Sporting F*ck All!

Yo te quiero, mi querida. Sin tus besos, yo soy nada.
Abri o portão de ouro, da maquina do tempo.
Mi mamá me hizo guapo, listo y antimadridista.
So far this season I hate: Limerick x2, Athlone, Derry, Wexford and Mervue. Im pretty sure I'll be expending that list over the season.
[QUOTE=superfrank;1591985]Because of their fans on the internet and fans are representative of a club, are they not?
People use fans' behaviour as justification for hating Rovers and Bohs so why can't it be applied to other clubs?[/QUOTE]
Yep, can see the direct link between banter on a football forum and mindless acts of (often pretend) violence.
Personally I hate all things shams because a car nearly knocked me over in 1993 and the driver looked very like someone that used to play for shams. Or was it man united
In absolutely no way are internet message boards reprsentative of any group of fans. Pats have maybe 1,500-1,800 people who regularly go to games. There's about 3 or 4 of us who post here. We're not representatives of our clubs. We're blokes with too much time on our hands. No one was voted in, and AFAIK no one has tried to claim they speak on behalf of Pats fans
It should be applied to others clubs. But their behavious at/around football games. everything else is just messing.People use fans' behaviour as justification for hating Rovers and Bohs so why can't it be applied to other clubs?
