Just announced on Newstalk - Rovers future at Dalymount

[aido_b]

did you actually see the incident?

there was not one black and tan scarf/jersey amongst them. they were all in fake burberry and fred perry.

I had my two young cousins (aged 11 and 14) with me at the game on friday. This has been their 2nd season coming to Dalyer and they haven't missed a match all year. After Fridays match had finished I left them in the Jodi for a few minutes because I had to meet up with a pal of mine at the exit. When I returned to them they were running out towards me.

Now neither of them are willing to attend a match again because you Rovers scum gave them the fright of their lives.There's two prospective future fans of the Eircom League who have vowed not to return to see another game. So there was innocent fans in the Jodi at the time.

As for drug dealing in Dalymount, I've seen it once in my 14 years of going to games and the offenders were thrown out by BSC, I aint seen them back since!

I can't believe this thread has gone on so long, boring isn't the word. Do people honestly think that if we criticise them enough, Rovers will actually start agreeing with us and hating their own fans? Do Rovers fans really think that they have more of a clue as to the fans that were in the stand, and standing at the front of the stand, and whether they ran or not, during the pitch invasion, than Bohs fans who were actually there at the time?

On the point of the early afternoon kickoff the day of the Chilli Peppers gig last summer; there was trouble beforehand, in a public park in Cabra, and also at the corner before the game. I don't see how kicking a match off at 2.30pm on a Saturday reduces the chance of fighting than if it were at 7.45 on a Friday.

And you could see this from where?

[bohs til i die]

the fans in the stand were not peace loving innocent kids singing. they were casuals who refused to move knowing we would have to stand in the rain for as long as they chose to remain.

just out of interest, all the bores who claim to be so offended by the charge, you would only have seen it if you were in the stand.....

You are talking ****e.

I was in the stand, I was standing in the walkway at the front of Block F when you lot got onto the pitch, walking in the direction of the half way line. Those fans in Block G of the Jodi WERE NOT THE BSC. They were ordinary Bohs fans, scarfers if you like.

He was a legitimate target your honour. He wasn't wearing a scarf, so we shot him as a spy. Incidentally, your honour, we didn't do nuthin', but ya shoulda seen those gypos run. Har! Har!

You wish. The final word will be the FAI disciplinary committee's, if there is anyone competent still in charge.
But if it's any consolation, I've given up trying to prod some semblance of an condemnation of or even disassociation from last Friday's adventure out of the hoops on this board, an effort spurred by the naive hope that there might be one or two ordinary, decent Rovers fans left. Looks like they've all fled already and all you are left with is a concentration of green-and-white bile.

To call the people who raised €100,000s to save our club "green bile" is indicative of the Bohs mentality. All that's left at Rovers after 18 years of hell is "ordinary decent" fans. Fans that I'm proud of and will continue to be proud of.

As we've both seen in the last week, there's now no middle ground between the two sets of fans, discourse and discussion are dead. And posts like the above show why. Someone said this thread is boring, it's way past boring at this stage.

so why were none of them wearing scarves?

why were they the only 50 or so fans left in the stand in block a, where the bsc congregate?

do 'scarfers' normally stand and argue with the cops when they are asked to move on 20 mins after the game?

do other scarfers run through the cops to join the other scarfers in not moving?

ill accept that under the stand/near the exits were 'normal' fans

but the point here is: lets not forget who was on the pitch in bray a fortnight ago....

dont lecture us on hoolies until you acknowledge and sort your own problems.

and the disciplanary committee cant look at this, happened after the game. much the same argument you use to dismiss the mill incident!!

my last word on this, bored of boyezzz revisionists.

there was quite a few people wearing scarfs, and there was nobody arguing with the cops, they were ignoring the cops.

and that wasnt Block A either, ********

In that case just don't click into it so

[Cosmo]

Grand, I won't so

[mypost]

It hasn't escaped my attention, that a piece appeared in the Evening Spoof, sorry Herald on Saturday, reporting on the crowd problems at the recent Bohs-Rovers league game. However, more importantly, the piece contained a paragraph once again linking Rovers fans to the trouble outside Tolka Park, at the Setanta Cup Final.

And there was me thinking that everyone had accepted the fact that Rovers fans were not involved on that occasion. Well, almost everyone.

Just took this from Bohs MB its the article in question ...

Shamrock Rovers are facing eviction from Dalymount Park after 60 "fans" invaded the pitch last weekend to attack Bohemians supporters. The Bohemians board have told Rovers that one more scene of violence will result in eviction leavint the troubled club homeless.

A small number of thugs attached to Rovers have constantly blighted the Eirom League with fighting, intimidation and pitch invasions.
Gardai were on a high state of alert before the league fixture between the Dublin rivals and the riot squad were deployed inside the ground.
This extreme measure didn't prevent violence though and while Rovers supporters were waiting to be let out of Dalymount at the end of the tie they staged a pitch invasion involving 60 people.

They ran across the pitch in the direction of Bohemians fans and gardai had to intervene and draw their batons to stop serious violence.
Players who were warming down had to run into the dressing room to avoid being caught up in the incident and shocked children looked on while the marauding thugs attempted to charge their rivals.Some fans made it to the Bohemians stand and caused extensive damage to advertising hoardings and a section of seating. The FAI is likely to be left to pick up the tab for the incident which involved grown men in their 50's.
There is serious unrest amongst Bohemians supporters who are angry that their club has not already thrown Shamrock Rovers out of Dalymount.
The agreement which allowed them play at the stadium was originally dependant on good behaviour of Rovers fans, who have consistantly caused trouble and brought shame to the game.

Fixtures between the two clubs regularly result in violence. and coaches carring Bohemians fans were peppered with rocks by Rovers supporters two seasons ago.A number of Rovers fans also attacked Linfield supporters before last months Setanta Cup final. There were a number of arrests after a Linfield supporter had a glass thrown at him and fisticuffs ensued.

The Bohemains board met last night and issued the following statement "Bohemians condemn the action of some Rovers spectators after the game on Friday night. Extensive damage was caused to seating and advertising hoardings. Use of Dalymount to be decided by the Bohemians comitee on a match-by-match basis after the game against Fanad this weekend. Any more trouble by Rover spectators and the Commitee will meet to decide wheter eviction notices are to be served"
