It's a bit rich for Shelbourne to complain about racist abuse

Get it through your head. This guy is a cancer to the league and the sooner he goes the better.

So you as a Shams man are trying to tell me as a Shels man that Ollie Byrne does more bad for Shelbourne than he does good,is that what you are saying

You forgot trying to screw a fellow club (us) out of E20k. Fortunately, that was one of the few occasions when someone stood up to Ollie and won by the rule-book.

The sad part is...he used to play for UCD...!

All that being as it is, I think the work he does for Shels, and particularly his "fund-raising" outweigh, at least to Shels fans, the damage he does to the club. A lot of people seem to think that Shels could get a lot more sponsorship if he ****ed off, but in fairness, unless he decides to, no-one will know.

Well they have some amount of scum supporting them but the fans do more good than bad imo but i'm not going to lecture a Shams fan about their club,get the hint

I'm no olly fan, and to say that in a national publication is totally out of order, however he does have a point.

I have quite a few coloured friends, Africans, Indians, Pakistanis etc. and with good friends, some jokes and banter do occur that would definitely be considered racist outside this circle. Examples could be a black friend always telling us white guys that we have smaller dicks than him, or calling a pakistani friend Osama. In one sense it's like black rappers using the N word - in their situation it's not considered racist.
In our group, the licence to use terms that might be considered racist is something that has been earned over a long period of friendship, similar to nicknames that could otherwise be offensive

Exactly, if you say something to your friend about being a blond(e), it isn't deemed offensive it is only joking/messing...

Ollie played for UCD ????????

**pineapple stu** · 05/08/2005, 2:53 PM

Apparently. I think he was a teammate of Brian Lenihan's...! Obviously way before we came into the league; back when we were a pure student team.

Ollie studied at third level?

Or rather Ollie studied at 2nd level?

I have very little time for the player allegedly involved (he's a nasty piece of work sometimes, and no longer a regular), but it sounds like natural justice took its course, if anything untoward did indeed occur.

He was makeshift captain on the day in the absence of the captain, I'm presuming it's okay to name name's here

I doubt he'll get the captains armband again, t'would drag the name of the club down IMO.

I am not saying what Steaua did was OK, I am merely agreeing with bigmac that some jokes and banter occur that would be considered racist outside a circle of friends.

Oh bohsfans thanks for the laugh. From a club who changed their fixture to rent out the pitch! I mean you could'nt make it up.......

No he didn't, but sure what does that matter do you when you can just say he did anyway?

**NY Hoop** · 09/08/2005, 12:30 PM

Eyewitness account son. Also one of your players manhandling the ref, your manager acting like somEbody on One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, bottles flying and a pitch invasion.

Go on tell me a) that those incidents didnt happen and/or b) it was Rovers fans fault.

Get it through your head. Oily is a cancer of the league.
