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

Dont understand a word there pal.

In fairness to sligo they werent to know that CHF would bring any fans. I'm hoping here that by the time next season comes around and sligo are up that they have a dedicated away end that is segregated. None of this crap of home fans streaming past the away support to stand behind the railway goal.

I don't know about that - if it is the same lads then they are complete headers. About 8 of them steamed into 30 or 40 of us in Finn Park a few seasons back when we were both in the Premier. Goes to show the intelligence on offer doesn't it? In fairness, they weren't long dispersing again.

Sligo will definitely have to get it sorted out though if your promoted because they'll not last long about Derry, Cork or Dublin if they carry on like that away from home.

Mayhem ensues when officials/security try to prevent this happening, as it will cause trouble. Inevitably the 'home' stewards will get blamed for not allowing the away fans to change ends.

Been there !

But you dont have any segregation except when we play there. How will changing ends in flancare cause trouble when the home fans are in the main stand?

When your chairman lies about trouble that never happened and then tries to build a cage it does leave a sour taste. Especially when you see other clubs' fans allowed free access all around the ground on tv a few weeks later

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!!!![/QUOTE]

Think you quoted me with someone else's words!

. 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

We were in the Jinks Avenue stand for the first half and in fairness the drum was giving me a pain in my head, we moved to the Railway end at the beginning of the second half just before the mass exedous from the Shed began. As the main crowd from the Shed were moving through the Jinks Ave. stand we could see a bit of commotion near the Dublin City fan with the drum and a Steward standing near him, who he seemed to be complaining to, I presume this was when the incident in question happened!

There is absolutely no place for that sort of behaviour at a football match, and Derek should make an official complaint to the club because it may help to prevent such an incident from happening again. If I am not mistaken, Ronan Seery and the Dublin City officials were also in the Jinks Ave. stand, I wonder what their view of the incident was and I don't see any reason why Derek could not make a complaint through them. The idea that he would come down to Sligo again looking for revenge against these so-called "fans" would be unhelpful and would be lowering himself to their level.

I was told by some one sitting beside them that had to do with some thing about a drum stick that got took of a Dub nothing to do with Derek's allegations

Even this sh1t of taking the Drum stick ,this only inciting these situation,the Stewards should be taking a stand on these matters with these guys,No disrespect to the bigger Dublin clubs but if these guys do this next season against the like Of Shams & Bohs then they will be sorry not have takn the proper action against these fellas this season.

Rovers said it had come to their attention that a small group of persons used foul and abusive language at last Saturday's game.

"Sligo Rovers management committee will continue to ban from the Showgrounds anyone engaging in such disgusting activity. We encourage people to support the team and enjoy themselves but will not tolerate ugly and stupid abuse"

Your right, he did not TRY to build a cage, he DID build a cage! I saw it, before it was taken down! Rovers forced you to take it down as it was against UEFA regulations. The lads were ready to get back on the bus at one stage. If it had not come down when it did and the general Rovers fans had seen it, there would have been trouble!

Our chairman DID NOT lie about trouble that never happened. He did not try to build a cage. We tried to come up with a solution to stop this kind of thing happening because you refused to take responsibility.

What about the rovers 'fans' who cleaned out the off-licence (without paying !) ??

Section O? All 20 of them? Get them into the main stand I guess. Your chairman said before our last visit there that Rovers fans had caused trouble on the 3 occasions we had been down the previous season. The first game there was trouble because previous to that we had changed ends with no problems. This unfortunately led to a bit of trouble. In the subsequent 2 games there was none whatever. So that means he lied to justify his pathetic security. And as Rover 2 U says the cage was clearly visible before ko.

Refused to take responsibility? Despite emails and phone calls to your club after the first incident asking that segregation be done properly nothing was done with the result that we have to pay our stewards to go down which is your responsibility. The far end of the ground was closed for "insurance purposes" yet afterwards people were clearly seen on tv there.

Your officials could have nipped this in the bud by acting like adults. Nonsense like this drives people away.

Nice to see a thread about Sligo Rovers result in a discussion about Shams and Longford Town

.

**hoops1** · 06/10/2005, 3:09 PM

Suprised any Longford fans are saying anything
after we whipped them 4-2 with our worst team ever

Moron, and a racist one at that

And you're still a moron

**dahamsta** · 09/10/2005, 4:21 PM

has_segars was explicitly warned that he would be permanently banned from Foot.ie if he continued to post in such an abusive manner. He and his posts will no longer appear on the site.

**RedX** · 09/10/2005, 10:13 PM

Not sure was this posted but just to let you know lads the News of The World printed a small story on this matter today...look at page 23 and on the middle right side in a small paragragh..it said this..

Foulmouthed soccer fans of Sligo Rovers will be red carded if they turn the air blue with abuse.The clubs committee has decided to ban the loudmouth louts after complaints about abusive language being directed at visiting supporters of Dublin City FC...

**observer** · 10/10/2005, 9:07 AM

Every sane fan condemns this sort of behaviour but I have not seen much concern expressed about the 9 year old. Sligo FC should fast track two tickets for Landsdowne Road Wednesday to Derek so that he can take the young lad as a guest of Sligo to the match. It would show the kid that the club does not condone what happened.
