and yes there did seem to be some idiot shels and derry fans at the end but I dont think anything must happened.
Do you know more? let me guess!! you were not there!!
I saw the game on Setanta and well done the Shels fans tonight, proved Ollie wrong about you being scum. After the game there were piles of young lads on the pitch.
Were they Rovers in disguise?

As you are aware a large number, over a hundred, Shels fans were on the pitch after the game.
Of course most were nothing more than kids throwing a few shapes but several made a run at the stand we were in looking for bother. To be fair, the security lads got them before they did.
I refer you to the scrum that developed on the pitch when O'Flynn and the Shels players had a few words. The number of fans on the pitch further incited a volatile situation and what would your view be if one of our(or indeed your) players had been hit by one of the fans who decided to invade
A small number of Shels fans tried to alleviate the tension by clapping the Derry support and this was reciprocated.
However the stewards would not let the Derry fans exit the stand until this mob had been moved well clear of the ground.
It wasn't a situation tonight as we're Derry fans and we'd won away from home again, but if it had been anothet Dublin derby i could easily see how it could have escalated.
Well there is always kids unning onto the pitch after games in Tolka and down the years I have seen many away teams fans run onto tolka after the games too. The incident at the rovers game was when a few hundred ran over to the new stand and started to taunt us. It wasnt that big an issue and i just ignored it and left as i normally do but its wrong to do that to any set of fans.
Tonight there was loads of kids on the pitch and yes the players were trying to get at each other. Ive seen the replay of the game and O'Flynn should have got a red. Heary maybe a yellow for the trip but raising your hand is a straight red and it just got everyone annoyed so I blame the ref more then anyone.
I didnt see who exactly ran over to the Derry lads or what their point was? What were they going to do?
I left after the last of the players went in the stands and by that stage there was only a few idiots waving their middle fingers around as they walke out knowing full well there was Gardai there between them and you lot as they would have ran a mile otherwise.
Im not sure what happened exactly but people on the pitch and people taunt other groups of fans should be looked at as two different things. GAA fans seem to be able to manage going onto the pitch without the taunting part. Thats the problem

Poor old $h€l$ are innocent!
It was Rovers or Bohs or Cork fans dressed up as $h€l$ fans who were being a little naughty. Terrible, just terrible that the poor innocent, angelic $h€l$ fans are being blamed for this when they are patently innocent of ever doing anything wrong.
And how dare Steve O'Flynn take on a group of $h€l$ players and upset them and try to cause trouble.
That awful man surrounded poor captain Owen and his fellow defenders and buddies and tried to intimidate them all. The league must do something about nasty players upsetting those poor $h€l$ lads, it's just not fair.
scientific proof $h€ls fans are hypocrites
you attacked the ref for christs sake.
when we are on the pitch its ww3
when you try and attack the opposition fans and match officials its just kids playing.
oily's mentality has truely filtered through the club to the fans.
i am seriously waiting for 'it was rovers/bohs/milwall' fans from these clowns.
and will longford try to ban them?
the entire club needs to grow up. in most cases, literally
i am seriously waiting for 'it was rovers/bohs/milwall' fans from these clowns.
Really they can't play that card .
The crowd was so small at the match.
As they said on RTE1 "Will they be able to blame Rovers fans this time...?"
There is a bloddy simple solution to all this trouble at tolka.
DO NOT LET PEOPLE ON THE PITCH AT FULLTIME!
For the sell professed biggest most professional club in the country shels seem unwilling or unable to steward their ground properly! Other clubs do it so why can't shels???
$h€l$ might now be shown up for what they really are!
I wonder what Ollie will have to say about it

Sure it was Rovers fans that done it
I didn't see it (Went home right after the final whistle) but if they did charge the away stand, no matter who or how many of them, we should be fined heavily. As if the Rovers incident wasn't enough to let them know that security at Tolka is a complete and total joke.
There's always kids on the pitch, something so easily prevented yet we somehow choose not to, but they're generally doing absolutley nothing and are harmless, but if there's people running towards the away section looking for bother than they need to be banned. If security caught them than they know who they are.
According to some reports some brave $hels fans made Gazza-esque flute taunts at Derry fans. Hypocrites, from the top to the very bottom your club is rotten and the only club in the league I would like to fold and leave the scene. Your chairman/head thug your manager and his pathetic little twirp of an assistant cannot handle defeat.
Don't worry about the 13th of July you should be made evry welcome in East Belfast with this kind of behaviour.
Happy that people can now sing **** CLUB, NO FANS!
"The Derry fans were fantastic in both matches. They sang their hearts out all the time and created an even better atmosphere than the Cup Final. They were brilliant. - David Graham, Gretna striker
I cant understand how these kids actually get on to the pitch in the first place. Isnt the whole pitch fenced off???Surely its a case of not opening the gates to let the little scummers in
Its also kind of stupid from a Shels point of view: a) it doesnt help the pitch that ye have been glorifying this year and b) some kid will only get hurt on it some time & afik insurance doesnt cover this (saw one kid slide tackle (ie crunch) another kid right next to a Derry player. If that player had got injured Shels would/should be in big trouble with the league).
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
If that did happen - that's bang out of order
Kom Igen, FCK...
I was at the game on Friday...i stayed for a couple of minutes extra at the end...there was a loads of kids on the pitch..and suposedly one tried to give one of the Derry lads a smack in the gob. They were anything but gracious in defeat...I thought Derry were great their first was a cracker and they held out well in the second half...its not happening for Crowe and in what is meant to be one of Shel's biggest season's (Winning league last year and a fantastic European run) They are getting pityful crowds at the games.
Scum
These were just little kids who don't know better, obviously they seem to think they're hard or something, they are idiots, we'll sort them out ourselves.
I notice that no mention was made of the jesture of the redsmen leaving the new stand aplauding the Derry City faithful? A clap was given as DCFC have probably the best fans in the league in terms of noise generated, keep it up lads!
