IrishFootballOnline claims Devine was struck by a bottle last night.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Looked like a plastic bottle from where we were. He made no big deal of it, just showed it to the ref and got on with it.Originally Posted by Sheridan
In fairness to the Rovers supporters behind there, I don't think there was any malice involved. They must have been giving him loads anyway, but thankfully Mickey is a grown-up and can take a slagging and banter.
waving your hand in a "w*nker" motion behind your back at several hundred people would be considered incitement in most cases. Not to mention what he's done in the past- the ill-feeling was there, he made it worse.
No, its never justified, of course not.
Because if you look at the media coverage on it, it makes it sound like Connor is an angel who has never upset anybody, when his behaviour was a massive factor in tensions being so high. I'm perfectly accepting of the fact that CCFC need to take responsibility for their failings (i.e. security), but Connor should take responsibility for his actions too.
Not in my book. A scumbag, a gurrier, a delinquent, but not a hooligan.
I saw the bottle out of the corner of my eye, as I was in front and to the right of where it came from, so I couldn't be 100% sure exactly which person did it. The people immediately around the perpetrator were his buddies, and therefore won't dump him in it- hence the problem in getting him charged. the guy was right at the back wall of the Shed, and since most people were looking forward at the game- most would have seen where it came from, but not who did it.
just like last week, it doesnt matter wether it was glass or plastic, hit him or not him....the fact of the matter is that it was thrown onto the field of play and aimed at a player
I realise that, my point was more that Mickey has a bit of cop on and defused the situation straight away. He was playing directly in front of the Bohs "shed", where a lot of very vocal Rovers fans were. He picked up the bottle, showed it to the ref, made no big deal of it. If he had done a Connor on it and gone down like he was dead, or turned around and started making wa*nker gestures or shouting abuse back, it would have got a lot worse.
Instead he down-played it, did nothing to increase tensions and acted like a grown-up, not some whinging little child.
Nothing excuses bottle throwing, no matter by whom, but there are ways of not making the situation worse.
Corner - you better stay away from the Corpus Christi procession this year soi was there.. i was just getting over my fear of barriers...thanks a lot CC for the setback
Incaseit makes a difference, the bottle missed him
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
Did anybody else notice that the plaster was put on the front of his leg, above the knee. Was there more than one injury?

i was thinking the same thing ,nobody can pinpoint him since we were all watching the game, if he were in front somebody would have spotted him. that's the porblem,we have to get these little ****s out of the shed or at least to the front of the shed where we can keep an eye on them.I saw the bottle out of the corner of my eye, as I was in front and to the right of where it came from, so I couldn't be 100% sure exactly which person did it.

Can we do anything about it?, take over the back of the shed before the next game and tell them to **** off!, ffs they're never watching the game anyway
