Family fun my arse: Rovers Scumbags

**1 9 2 8** · 03/10/2005, 4:55 PM

Was it Rovers support in the Jinks Avenue stand that was abusing you?

**The Stars** · 03/10/2005, 5:00 PM

Ya there was a Longford fan there aswell.....probably was him.

**blueviking1980** · 03/10/2005, 5:17 PM

I was next to Derek when the taunts were spilled... jsss.. "taunts"... that's goin easy on them lot of fookin Western knacks I tell ya.

Derek is a nice guy & they utterly took advantage of his dedicational drum bangin... it was a real case of 'bully versus the victim'... in that sence I mean it's easy to sneer & intimidate when ya have 10/15 mates around ya & over 1,000 + to make ya feel secure & be the firestarter/joker.

Their carry on proved to me they were'nt there to see their team in action much, if at all.

1 smart chum from a passin crowd whipped a drumstick off another 1 of our fans & I aint talkin bout a hungry bum thieven a piece of chicken either.

A stick from a snare-drum got into the wrong hands let's say & was then kicked along the ground from more Rover fans.

Don't get me wrong, Im not slating ALL Bit 'O Red heads here.. ya's have a fine team, stadium & most of your fans are sound. But sort out those a**holes. It put a slightly sour twist on the night to see my friends subjected to that...

derek will you please report the club because we want rid of them.otherwise what's the point of going on about it here?i don't like the way the rovers and our fans are getting a bad name here because its only a small number of people who are causing trouble.the real supporters such as myself dissassociate ourselves from them completely.

**hoopy** · 03/10/2005, 5:35 PM

For years we would have classed Shams as our rivals & to this day still do, however this element seem to target Harps probably because We would have seen more of Harps than Shams in recent years.

[/QUOTE]

Are you telling us that we can expect trouble the next time we go up there?

What is more violence going to achieve? If it's reported to the police/stewards/club in the future then something will probably be done about it, if not, then how is the club going to be able to do anything about it?

Standing up to someone doesn't mean violence

Your a rovers fan alright!

**Rovers1** · 03/10/2005, 5:43 PM

What the feck is that supposed to mean?

. Standing up to someone could lead to violence is what I mean. The club dont know this is happening because it was never reported, so unless Derek says something then this will continue to happen

**1 9 2 8** · 03/10/2005, 8:03 PM

Derek
Like Redzer said in his post why didn't you report these incidents to the stewards or the Gards at the time? Their was plenty of them in the Jinks Avenue stand for the game. But then again you said in one of you posts you thought it’s was a waste of time reporting it to the club?

Originally Posted by Derek

Raising it with the club would be a waste of time as the incident is already old news,

Then why bother complaining here if it's "old news"? Because it's very easy to come on line in the Eircom league section of foot.ie and try to run down the name of Sligo Rovers FC with a thread called "Rovers scum" which to me is painting us all with the same brush now I know how Shams supporters feel. If Dublin had won the game I wonder would you have stated this thread?

That’s if anything did happen

Sit the f�ck back down will ya ... i mean if you were going to start saomething then you wouldn't be waiting for some Sligo fan on the net to give you the nod. If something happens and Shams fans start it .... we wont be waiting for the nod off someone on the net to blame you for it.

I'm telling you ..... a year of Sham playing games behind closed doors .... that'll sort it out !!

What I dont understand is were'nt the shedheads behind the goal in the second half? If so, then how could it have been them?

To gety to the railway you go through the Jinks Aveune Stand>Sligoman you know this happened because we all know what this fellas are like and to try a find an excuse for these fellas behaviour is just as sad.Why in the world would anyone be bothered to make this up.

Hang on Shiba. I'm not denying this didn't happen. I'm well aware that you have to go by the Jink's avenue stand to get to the railway end(I know the layout of the Showgrounds thanks very much). Dont call me sad, I'm not thinking of an excuse for them

. Whoever did this is sick and a stupid fool, but all I'm saying is maybe this once it wasn't a shedhead cos they were down the other end. Maybe if Derek told us, were the guys just walking by him when they said it or were they sitting there for the whole game then that would clear it up

I did'nt know how to start this thread. I had several headings in mind but just went with what you see above. First things first, I am by no means a prude or sensitive and I expect the Shamrock Rovers fans to read the heading and open up with all guns blazing but in this instance I am able to say that this is not about Shamrock Rovers antics, no this one is about our country cousins over in the west, Sligo to be precise.

I went to watch Sligo Rovers play Dublin City in the first division last night and it shaped upto be a great night, we got to the ground an hour before kickoff, parked the car and then went for a couple of pints, I figuered two pints would be ok as it would be three hours and a big mac before I drove home.

The game kicked off to a full house, at least 2000 Sligo fans, we had very few fans, five singing and five/ten board/family of Dublin City. so what has this got to do with my complaint, nothing apart from setting the seen.

Dublin played very well being on top for the firsat 45 minutes giving the handful who traveled something to sing about, now I know that when your team is playing well then the opposition fans will get on your back a little and that is part of following football, I had the usual comments of "You fat b@stard" and other such like which do not cause me any great concern even though I would not sling this kind of remark back.

What upset me and made me want to become a bit of a hooligan was the remarks about myself and my nine year old son. Too be honest if I wasn't in such a good mood and most importantly trying to show the nipper a good example I would have kicked the sh!te out of the people who slung the offensive remarks our way. The jist of the comments were about me picking my son(maybe they did not know he was my son) up in a local toilet and having sex with him. Even as I write this thread I am so annoyed with this situation that I would like to go back down to the Sligo sh!t hole and knock the balloxs out of the pr!cks who used this kind of cr@p to stop us singing. My young lad is still upset with the bullsh!t he had to listen too. I have spent several hours talking to him about the reasons why these muppets spoke to us in this way, but to be honest I don't know if the EL is worth this kind of crap, How do people come up with this kind of nonsense? Are they trying to immatate the stuff they see on the english TV? What would drive fans of football to inflict this kind of abuse on kids?

I reckon I will get reponses of sympaty and ignorance on this subject but that is OK. I just wanted to let off some steam about the crap my son and I had to listen too last night. I know if I told his mother the real reason he was crying at the game then that would be his last game. Is that what we are trying to achive? Trying to put the kids off following the EL?

I just hope that when then morons went home after the game they maybe felt looking back on the situation that they had crossed the line between following your team and being a w#nker although some how I doubt it.

Sligo fans you should be ashamed to hve muppets like this in your ranks.
Derek.

i no the way every one slags off cobh for having supporters 'like' this but that would never be shouted down here and if it was there would be war,report it to the Sligo board and they SHOULD do something about it.

Not at all... these gob****s are preoccupied with harps fans & small groups of other fans which 1st division teams bring with them., and as the lads said thesy would be afraid of Shams & Bohs Fans.
But what I have seen of Shams in the showground�s they are well able to create their own trouble without needing wnakers like these to depend on!!!!
