The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Hope the photos come out somehow. I'd say they'll be great
And I'd love to see that scumbag talk his way out of it
BTW, what ever happened his evidence against Rovers fans ?

I thought Drogs might fudge the issue but i suppose when you are in no way to blame you have to go on the offense like that.
If Oily travels to the cross on Monday he going to get some slagging.
full marks to drogs for speaking out -maybe now the league will act seeing that the ball has been thrusted into their hands

Got to keep the loonies on the path
I understand that the photographer in question received a fractured nose in the incident. Lets hope he makes a complaint to the Gardai.
If this is true this is a Gardai issue. It is a criminal act and should be dealt with by the proper authorities.
I really hope the photographer and Drogheda pursue this through the guards. Pursuing FAI sanctions are a cop out.
Ideally the guilty party would be prosecuted, convicted and then the FAI could step in and apply its sanctions to the club and individuals.
BTW from what I remember Gardai are usually on duty in Tolka behind the Drumcondra goal at the turnstiles corner, I wonder did they see anything? My understanding in the Roddy v Oily mismatch is that this is a civil case as presumably said Gardai weren't there because it happened well before the game kicked off.
It's a pity the statement is so badly worded. An impression is given that Ireland's number 1 was the person who assaulted the photographer.
Oliver. LOL

If the rest of the statement is as accurate as that then it's as worthy of notice as Pat Dolan, and the celebration is on EL weekly for anyone with it taped to see that is complete fabrication. There was no two fingered gesture whatsoever.
To be honest with you it's sad to see the league washing its provrebila dirties in public like this. However - everyone knows how ineffective the FAI and the league is at dealing with issues like this, so the Drogs have been left with no real option. If we had a proper disciplinary procedure/rules etc then this wouldn't need to happen.
Anyways - I'll bet the FAI are praying it'll go through the courts, as that gets them off the hook. Then whatever the court decides they can just say 'sure the courts have already dealt with the matter' and do nothing themselves
A very public stand needs to be taken against Olly Byrne - not in court, but within the realms/corridors of Irish football. The man is a feckin lunatic. Someone needs to push the FAI hard on this and not let them dodge making a decision we all know needs to be made.

I am very angry at what happened last night as an eircom league fan..Ollie Byrne has been causing trouble up and down the country for a long time..he has tried it at Turners X and many other grounds so many times and always gets away with it..i say well done to Drogs for making a stand...what is it with Shels..do they think they are not allowed to get beaten?..there is always trouble when Shels lose..i say shame on you Ollie Byrne and also shame on you Pat Fenlon...add the likes of Owen Haery and David Crawley to that...i hope they try this Monday night at the X because there would be murder..Cork City FC and its fans will not be bullied by a bunch of scumbag thugs...
This is not aimed at Shels fans..when you change your manager and chairman and in fact some of your players you will look back and wonder how were they allowed to run your club...
Did anyone else assume Drogheda were in finacial difficulty when they saw the title of this thread?
It'll be interesting to see those photos.
From today's Irish Times

The photographer involved in an incident with Shelbourne chief executive Ollie Byrne at the end of Monday's fractious Premier Division match between the league champions and Drogheda United has made an official complaint over his alleged mistreatment to the Eircom League.
Terry Collins, Drogheda United's PRO, will lodge the complaint through the club after he was grounded after the final whistle. He was taking photographs as players made their way to the dressingroom tunnel.
Collins claims Byrne forcefully took hold of his camera lens. Both men grappled with the camera and Collins ended up on the ground but it has been confirmed neither party was punched.Byrne says he simply requested Collins to stop taking photographs. He admitted placing his hands on the camera lens.
It has also emerged Shelbourne's Stuart Byrne was sent off by Feighery in the tunnel after the match. The midfielder slapped the ball out of Feighery hands while confronting the referee after the whistle.

Heard lastnight that the photos MIGHT be in todays Drogheda Independent
As for Jason Byrne, I didn't see him give the 2 fingered salute myself and was sorry that this part was in the statement - like even if he did, who cares? - the statement shouldve just stuck to ollie.
Still though, at least we've stood up to him - ball is now in the FAI's and EL's court

Yeah i thought the same myself, i seen him running the lenght of the stand but did'nt see him what so ever give the oul fingers...... and as you say, who cares if he did. This is about Ollie.
The FAI/eL really needs to come down hard on Shels this time, enough is enough FFS. Lenghty bans and a points deduction would do.
If anyone gets there hands on the snaps can we post them here ?
