    I think that's what he meant, and if he indentified them to Rovers they should be banned from Dalymount park but he's worded it poorly if that is what he meant.

    Does anyone actually know who these were? Were they Rovers Ultras? Or random scumbags in green and white hoops raising a red rag to the bull? With all due respect how would he know that Rovers know what they are? And what is he saying Rovers know? Does he know them? How? Is he saying that they are the same lads who were involved in a scrape with Bohs last year? It is a highly ambiguous statement which could look bad to the untrained listener/viewer.

    But the full quote is:
    We all lose our heads in a moment of passion in sport, but you don’t come with a pre-meditated attitude to do some damage to people and that’s what happened. The clubs know the individuals involved and it’s about time it was stopped
    If you take those two sentences together as one quote (as it is on the site) he's effectively saying that these people go along LOOKING for hassle, Rovers know about it and do NOTHING to prevent. Looks fairly clear to me. If that's not what he meant to say, he did a damn good job of ballsing it up

    On occassion you've been accused of being the voice of reason amongst Cork fans (not sure if that means anything though ) I guess that makes Slash the Éanna of Shels.

    I doubt they were Ultras. the Ultras tend not to get involved in that kind of shíte, and judging by the furious reaction on their message board, they're not taking too kindly to this. Hard to blame them

    That's either the most complimentary insult or most insulting compliment I've ever gotten

    I honestly don't think that's what he meant, there's no way Rovers could have known and/or prevented it, but it's worded in a way that looks like that and it doesn't do anyone any good.

    Satan, the missing link, Éanna and Slash. I am on a roll tonight.

    About what you said on the quote Éanna, playing devil's advocate I don't see him as a man who is good at articulating what he is saying. The whole thing is a bit incoherent. People do like to jump the gun and put his words in the worst possible light and maybe indeed he was insinuating that. However short of sitting the man down and asking him the litany of questions I posed up above we can only guess what he was at. Some people are going the full whack linking it to him stealing Tallaght stadium, I'd hope it's nothing so sinister. I'd be surprised if he could mastermind such a dastardly scheme.

    Yeah, I'd forgotten that. Now, enough of the pleasantry. You get back to conspiring, and I'll get back to hating you

    btw, I've got a new sig, just for you Slash

We have received numerous reports from many of our supporters who witnessed these attacks thugs wearing the green & white hooped shirts of Shamrock Rovers or Scottish club Celtic FC.
    Are these alleged "incidents" newsworthy?

    There were people seen apparantly, wearing the colours of Shamrock Rovers. Since when was that a crime? Most, if not all Rovers fans, were nowhere near Tolka Park on the day of the Setanta Cup Final. It was not our business. There is a distinct difference between Rovers shirts, and Celtic shirts, and if any NL fan couldn't recognize the difference when reporting this "story", then they're not football fans, but simply people looking for attention.

    It appears to some people, to be fashionable to kick our club for the sake of it these days. OB may not have endorsed the above statement, but he hasn't kept quiet about the issue either. Methinks Mr Shels is trying to cover up the fact that his team were outplayed and outfought by Linfield in the Cup Final, and is desperate for any publicity, even resorting to making allegations against the fans of another NL club which are both unfounded and inaccurate, based on rumour and hearsay. Leave us alone!!

    'Are these alleged "incidents" newsworthy?'

    no but seen as they've been brought up - I spoke to a group pf lads (maybe about 10 of them) at the river outside Fagans after they looked like they go into a scrap (about 20 minutes afte Fagans shut up shop) and I asked them what happened. They said further down the river there were Linfield fans with loyalists flags and hopped them for no reason. Don't know who started on who but I can tell you that most of them were wearing no colours, a couple were wearing celtic tops and 2 of them were wearing shels tops!!!!

    btw before anyone asks me - i cant remember what they looked like because i was talking to them only for 20 seconds and had a good few drinks on me (but 2 of them were defo wearing shels tops)

    Edit : for what its worth the guys i was talking to were boasting that they won the row - doubt it because they looked well rattled.

    Again apologies for bringing such a minor incident up but just hate seeing one club being picked on by the media (jaysus you'd see more incidents walking for 30 seconds down west st in drogheda on a weekend night )

    Just a small observation here...

    Eanna it seems has posted up a good half of the "posts" here.

    All of his posts vent spleen at Ollie Byrne, none deal with the incident that happened.

    All over internet forums, he is infamous for his Ollie Byrne attacks.

    When you are finished your self righteous rantings and personal vendetta baiting, can you revert to discussing the statement at hand?

    PS Cork used to wear green shirts with white... maybe it was them as well?

    Whats this crap about rovers could do nothing about it? .. They are fans of shamrock rovers who Ollie knows from going to Shelbourne games. Did you not listen to him on the radio last night. You want FACTS for this? and are saying that if it was in a courtroom the judge would believe this guy Dave Carpenter? Well I would think Dave Carpenter would be F**KED out of court after making some conspiracy theory up about Ollie and saying he was only doing it to tarnish Rovers name as they look for a buyer or some other such bullsh!t. If he was involved in rovers for the past few years he would know better then anyone Ollie has been all for rovers in the past and tried to help them out as best he can.

    The MEDIA started this by claiming Shels fans clashed with Linfield fans. This was Not the case. They were clearly Rovers and Celtic fans judging by the jerseys on show. Add to this the that these people are known to the Gardai and also that Ollie knows them from attending Rovers games. Don't forget that Rovers played in Tolka for years and have drank in ours bars many times. I myself would be able to spot many rovers fans with or without a Jersey and Id imagine Ollie knows who he seen.

    We all know Rovers have a problem with some fans and we all know very little has been done about it over the years. The reason why I think Ollie is pointing the finger here is that they have crossed the line this time and came along to a shels game to start trouble. Its no longer a Rovers issue and if they wont sort it out for themselves then what are other to do?? It could have easily been any EL club and your club these idiots came along to for trouble. Rovers refusal to deal with them is the reason this started.

    fact: there was a small amount of trouble outside a shels home game.

    fact: shelbourne fc issue a statement blaming shamrock rovers fans for the violence. this has been proven untrue. ask supt murray from santry station, he was happy to go on record and confirm that NO ROVERS FANS WERE INVOLVED.
    and as for questioning dave carpenters integrety and honesty, ask yourself a question. which one of himself or olly has done time for their involvement in theft?

    legal advice is being sought on the matter, so i sugeest people tread carefully with accusations

    If you notice the title of the thread, it's "Shels statement"- it's about the statement, not the incident that happened. I am "venting" about Ollie Byrne because his behaviour (as usual) is indefensible.

    Higgins - Dave Carpenter spoke to the Superindent in charge on the night as well as the Head of Secierity inside the ground, both reported no trouble and both confirmed that there were no Rovers fans involved in anything untoward.

    Ollie, on the other hand, spoke to no one and just made stuff up, then he parroted it on the radio and got his lapdog Cassidy to issue a statement full of lies.

    Which one is telling the truth? I'd ask you to look at the evidence before answering.

    Also on the subject of lapdogs, Shels fans are a disgrace - the Supporters Club, the message board and even the Brigoaid Dearg, all funded by Ollie and controlled by Ollie. Get some independence and then the rest of us might take you seriously.

    Eanna,

    So who did get involved in this fight then? Was it Shels fans, or other identified sets of fans?
