What joke was that ??Originally Posted by eoinh
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

I'm amazed the Gay Strippers union hasn't condemned this publicly
I am trying so see where this could have been taken out of context but it is proving very hard. What is gods name is the man doing ???
Also ... Sentanta Cup .... is it confirmed yet or not ?!?!! Apparently Norn Iron clubs are not signing on the dotted line just yet so to speak.

And another incident I've seen at the cross too, a Cork fan spitting at a St. Pat's player.
That's two incidents mentioned so far since your post ( NY Hoop's included ). Want to change your mind on this one?
1. Read my post, I said "Manager", and also said that we have our fair share of little scumbags.
2. It's utterly laugable that anyone who "follows" $hels can make any comment at all about another club. Your club secretary/owner/saviour/whatever title you want, regularly acts the lout, uses physical intimidation and bullying, as does your little scumbag manager and the thugs that pass for some of your players.
Anytime I've been to Tolka Park, there has been an incident with all or some of those mentioned above, as well as the hooligans that seem to have free run of the ground, unhindered by your joke of a security set-up.
3. Want to keep your mouth shut, after you take your foot out of it?
I'm certainly not going to deny that we have scumbags among our support Shelsman, I don't think any of us would. The evidence is there in another thread here where Exile raised the question of underage drunks in the shed-end.
Every club has their problems, Shels own have been discussed on here after our last game in Tolka, I don't think any group of supporters (opur own included) can take the moral high ground on this argument.
When it comes down to it though
If fans are abusive and aggressive, Stewards have the right to chuck them out.
If players/ club staff are abusive and agressive, the FAI should ban them.
It's really that simple, that's you're level playing field right there.
IMO, here's how it plays out.
Last season we gave Ollie Cahill dogs abuse against Shels and he scored into the shed. He gave us the finger. My thoughts after were 'why not'. If we dish it out, we have to take it too.

I agree with all of your post tiktok, but while some stewards do their job, the FAI or eL could NEVER be accused of that.....
i blame the scum bag element that is prevalent in some form r another in dublin clubs. a strict door policy should be followed
1 No anto's, tommo's, steveo's or any name ending in o.

£Leon€, while I feel your post is a little stereo-typical, I have to agree with the sentiments expressed.

the subject matter is not up for debate the only way to stop the el from becoming like the premier league is to attract a better class of follower. all i'm asking for is help to draw up these rules. any suggestions???????

Was that before or after some bright spark from Rovers supporters threw the stones into the St. Annes end seating where I and many other parents were sitting with our children?
It is often said in an argument that so-and-so doesn't get it, when really what the person means is that they do get it, but they are too obstinate to admit it. In your case, I am starting to wonder.

Oh how I laughed
Laugh all you like but we're second in the league and have a great chance of winning the bloody thing.Oh how I laughed
Champions!
You certainly have a chance, arguable whether you have a GREAT chance. But surely thats the least that can be expected from a club as massive as Cork City?Laugh all you like but we're second in the league and have a great chance of winning the bloody thing.
I notice how you left out what I said after that. Try reading ALL of what I said and if you're too lazy I'll say it again. ALL clubs with a following have a few loons.
Speaking of stones we were showered with them exiting turners cross in 92 and 97. I could mention my friend getting glassed in the face in the horseshoe.
We can go around and around all day about each others supporters. The bottom line is until there are strict segregation areas in grounds and competent stewards this will go on and on............

Funny how people seem to have a problem understanding you.....
Not hard to understand really. If you took away your diabolical hatred of Rovers and had something constructive to add but I guess that's too much to askFunny how people seem to have a problem understanding you.....

Supporting a team like I do that hasn't played in the Premier for a decade now, I have no reason to hate Rovers, or any other club for that matter....lose the persecution complex that ye all seem to have for god's sake, its pitiful.Not hard to understand really.

It is quite shameful that these 'scenes' keep cropping up at soccer matches, but I would like to make one point: Every week at some GAA county final or other, there are pitch battles it seems between players, supporters, referees and the like, and mostly someone gets done with a hurley or a good few slaps with a fist..yet its all seen to be part and part of the culture of the GAA.Nothing more said, and its all forgotten about down the pub later.
Football hooliganism was 'cool' in the 80's and a few gurriers today seem to want to make it cool again...I don't know if strict segregation is the answer because I feel that then you're paying attention to them, and ultimately thats what they want, but I do agree with NY Hoop
but I do agree with NY Hoop
I gotta lie down!!
On the whole GAA thing while you do hear about pitched battles you never hear about crowd trouble i.e. fighting between opposing fans. Am a huge fan of the GAA and believe that as EL fans we cant really slag them off. Look at their facilities. Anyway it's a different culture.............
