What a joke. may as well give rock throwers a free reign now.
Saints hit with fine for Cork incident
August 18, 2005
Premier Division club St Patricks Athletic have been fined after an incident during their meeting with eircom League leaders Cork City last month which left a supporter requiring stitches.
A stone was thrown into the Cork support at the end of the July 31st encounter, resulting in a Cork fan sustaining serious facial injuries.
The incident was reported in the match delegates report and came up for discussion at the recent meeting of the FAI Disciplinary Commission.
However, a 500 fine will be regarded as lenient by Cork fans, given the seriousness of the situation at Richmond Park.

did c awk ban the 'fans' who kicked 7 shades of s hite out of that youngfella in the end? didnt think so.
exactly what did you expect to happen to pats?
What were Cork fined when Dan Connor was hit by a bottle from the Shed in April? 500?
Exactly that.... "and warned as to their future conduct"

And the Cork fan who decided to throw a few digs at a shels fan inside the ground last week...
Sitting pretty!!!
It was 200.
I think, given the standard of fines given out to clubs for similar incidents that the amount here isn't a surprise at all.
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
What? Heard nothing about that!

500 quid is an awful lot of money if ure scrimping to pay a wage bill - we should a just thrown the gards a couple of hundred and they might have spared ONE of irelands finest to police the game in the first place!
Not a major incident just a Corky decided to throw a couple of digs at one of our lads, thats all, but just pointing it out to show that we all have our troublemakers and the attitude coming from people when it happens against them is laughable, esp when it happens all the time!!!
Sitting pretty!!!
not that i'm condoning it but he didnt actually get hit by it
and that wasn't a did at Pats. every club should be punished heavily for this behaiour. they might try to prevent a repeat of those scenes?????
Is that the same City fan who ended up getting a smack to the back of the head from a Shels fan who had a chain wrapped around his fist or is it a different incident??
But sure hey it's all the City fans fault as usual.
As for the fine, seems fairly standard. No point in trying to cripple clubs who are already struggling to survive just because there's a little bit of hassle at a match.
Champions!
I think this is the point, if the League don't clamp down there is no incentive to stop this kind of activity, which is getting a bit too commonplace.
But that would require some kind of pro-activity...........
Thats the one alright, but it was his own fault for going up and throwing digs, nothing would have happened otherwise! And jftr it wasn't to the back of the head!Is that the same City fan who ended up getting a smack to the back of the head from a Shels fan who had a chain wrapped around his fist or is it a different incident??

Wasn't there so don't know who's fault it was tbh. However, I've got to ask are Shels fans not capable of using their fists without wrapping a fcuking chain around their knuckles??!!
Champions!
its a bit rich listening to Cork fans whinging about a fine given to Pats when the Cork stewards tried to start trouble with Bohs fans 5 weeks ago.
The chain was attached to a drum,he was taking it apart when the incident happened the Shels lad involved was only about 17 and is not a trouble maker,the whole incident is wrong no matter who is at fault
But what can the clubs really do? Serious question. Should the clubs be held responsible for the actions of ONE idiot
