Bohs Stewards

[Peadar]

FACT is BSC are worse than any Rovers fans.

Unfortunately though Colm, they usually hang around outside the ground so the Bohs stewards and the club itself can do little. The Gardaí are responsible for these areas but seem to ignore the threat until something happens.

[bohs til i die]

you forgot to mention rovers in the list of clubs that proposed the database. funny that.

the thread to poxweb doesnt exactly start off as a self parody, does it? you went mental at the time and you still havent explained how and why the official bowezzzz website demanded its return?

we dont want to be in loyal orange phibsboro no more than most of you want us there, but to say we arent entitled to toilet facilities because we have no home ground is typical of the narrative that comes from the fans of the big pub. your ground literally fell apart around you and no-one can criticise your lack of ambition because... well its the home of irish football blah blah.

you cannot charge people 3,000 people e15 to stand in an uncovered stand with 1 chip van and whine when they object.

i agree, fair play to cork, the way they restrained themselves when some of the scurvy bsc squared up to them was admirable.

1. we have had a crowd over 1500 on Connaught street 5 times in 5 years [Rosenborg, Shels twice, Spurs, Borisov]. Facilities arent acceptable but finance dictates that nothing can be done any time soon.


2. Cork fans from what I have found out werent exactly angels in this and while what happened was wrong, it wasnt exactly WW3. It happened outside the ground and although thats no excuse there isnt a lot Bohs can do. The FACTS are that 700 Cork fans were able to watch the game, enjoy our facilities in the Jodi and apart from a few minor incidents it was a good day for thema t least.


Who is in charge of Rovers security these days?

Actually the first post in the thread includes this line "It was a BSC flag, but thats irrelevant" suggesting that the post starter does not care for the BSC or their flag. The issue was the perceived abuse of trust by our tennents in stealing property from a secure area in Dalymount. This is also why the official website carried the story. As soon as it became clear that the flag was left lying around for anyone to find by some casual idiot the case was rightly dropped. Excellent use of the "pox" as a non-sequitur insult.

but to say we arent entitled to toilet facilities because we have no home ground is typical of the narrative that comes from the fans of the big pub.

I didn't say that. I said we can't afford to build an away stand with facilities to fully cater to all our visitors' needs. I also said that it's a shame that only one club's fans have to use that stand by FAI/Garda order and those fans are Rovers.

Rovers is also the only match where our own security team have to work in conjunction with FAI stewards and Gardai inside the ground.

I remember paying £8 to stand on an uncovered terrace at Santry on a freezing cold January Sunday, soaked by driving rain and swamped by fog, with no chipper van at all and only a scoreline of 4-6 affording any form of comfort.

[Peadar]

I heard you left at 4-1???

No - I just went off in search of the people handing out Activ8 chewing gum at half time.

I can clearly be seen in the TV footage celebrating Mark Rutherford's winner wearing my Armani jeans, RL polo, Stone Island jacket and Aquascrotum cap!

[BohsFans]

This would be the first post to have a warning issued on if they did.

I was refering to this getting seriously off topic!

[WeAreRovers]

Can someone please put this thread out of my misery? Please? Rovers and Bohs rowing over how many casuals you fit on the head of a pin is like Republicans and Loyalists arguing - totally pointless. We think we're right and they think they're right. End of discussion.

But I'm enjoying people saying how great Cork City fans are.

You entertain us next Monday and I'm sure we'll be posting good things on Tuesday again. No reason why we wont.

Peadar - If we get 3 points out of Friday's game in Richmond, we'll entertain you alright. Personally I want Cork to win it for Rico's sake and because Cork are by far the best footballing team in the country. Plus, your 2nd league title won't put any of our records under imminent threat. Oh, and if Derry win it, Bohs might sneak into the Inter Two Bob.

Bullsh!t.

Whatever was started, no matter how minor, was started by little scumbags from your side loitering in the alleys around your stadium waiting for City Fans on their own to walk by.

Do you expect people to lie on the ground and take a beating or do you expect them to defend themselves?

Exactly, if the BSC dish it out they've got to be able to take it when people defend themselves.

thats not what I said.

Fro what I was told by a few people who were there, some Cork fans got involved when they shouldnt have. I am not making excuses for what our idiots did.

[NY Hoop]

Why do these threads always get hijacked by Bohs v Rovers "discussions"?

A gypo started whinging Another one then says that the Ultras are the troublemakers. Proof positive of their lack of knowledge.

Ask the Derry fans about how their flags were spat on when they were there last time and the stewards did nothing about it.

Hilarious too that they whinge and moan about having us as tenants but when we're gone next season they will miss our rent.

They have a new "Dalymount Trust" yet they couldn't be bothered cleaning up the mess that is the connaught st side

Whinging? I was merely agreeing that stewards at Dalmount do a great job which meant an enjoyable afternoon of football (result apart) at Dalymount with a large number of visiting fans in the stand alongside 1500 Bohs fans. The only game where we have a problem is the Rovers fixture - equally to blame are the BSC and the Rovers casuals, which is a sad state of affairs that has ruined what should be the most fanatically supported Dublin derby.

This is the first I've heard of it, but it's not like Bohs fans queue up to spit on flags at matches - there are a few idiots and we don't deny their presence but aren't happy with it. Derry fans generally seem OK with us and we with them so there's no need for this collective blame game bollócks. I've been spat on before and I take that a lot more seriously than the flag incident but this is the first time I've ever mentioned it in public.

Hilarious too that they whinge and moan about having us as tenants but when we're gone next season they will miss our rent.

What wrong with that? We hate you and you hate us. What club in Ireland doesn't need money?

Connaught St is only regularly used for one set of supporters and hopefully it will be replaced with a new stand... but who knows when that will happen - we're not exactly flush right now. What's the point of putting tens of thousands of Euros into a wreck with an uncertain future? The Dalymount Trust is maximising the potential of what Bohs have for the long term benefit of the club. Seriously, get over it

Here is your exact quote: "Funny how we can let Cork fans sing away without any problems long after the match had ended but Rovers are still crying about the time 50 or so kids were taunting them (at their home match) with "Bohs til I die", forcing them to cause a crowd crush and invade the pitch." That is whinging about a game that happened 5 months ago and has nothing to do with this thread.

Get over it?!

Tens of thousands? Dont think it would cost that much to clean it! You planning on using gold brushes or something?!

[Roverstillidie]

we arent asking for a glorious stand, just lthe little things like lights and toilets. how did that stand ever pass the most basic licence application?

if its acceptible, why did you refuse to take it for our 'home' game? or allow us to switch it to tolka?

[Réiteoir]

i regularly pay €25 when I go and watch Conference North football over in England.

For that we generally get a 450 mile trip up to somewhere like Lancaster, Barrow or Workington to stand on an open terrace in the middle of winter, freezing our arses off and generally getting soaked - with no bar nearby, no toilets and no food - but we learn to put up with it because the club's cannot afford to upgrade their stadia at the moment.

We went to Grantham Town a few years back - they rent an Athletics Stadium.

The only food we could get - out of the one snackbar that was serving the whole ground was a Pot Noodle.

We learn to live with it - no use complaining - nothing can be done due to restriction of finances

OK - thanks for backing up my point. I picked one game that still gets more than its fair share of comments from both sides but highlights the problems faced at some matches which aren't factors for security at other matches, such as the Cork City game on Monday. Are you able to read anything posted by a "Gypo" without taking offence?

Get over it?!

If an independent group of Rovers fans had raised a considerable amount of money in a short space of time and wanted to use it productively would they spend it on cleaning an old terrace that's only used a couple of times a season and is practically condemned or would they concentrate on improving those facilties that bring more money into the club on a longer term basis?

The problem with football clubs in Ireland is that none of them have had any form of long term view to benefit the clubs. The hand to mouth (player's pocket) existence has resulted in the shambles we have today. I'm not a part of the Dalymount Trust but I'm glad they're thinking along the right lines for providing us with a future.

If a one stand Tallaght stadium opens in the near future, where will Bohs fans be housed? What basic faciltities will we have to endure? How will the game be stewarded?

Who is in charge of Rovers security these days anyway?

When we get to Tallaght we'll let you know then. As the ground will be built by the council ask them.

So back to the original point. Cork fans are great and B.E.S.T are great. Good enough for me.

And I'm only a little bit feisty!
