Five arrested over soccer violence

http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/0826/dublin.html

Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not condoning idiot fans but I hate the way the media here report this ****.

There are people arested before and after football matches all the time all over the world. In England there are frequently people arrested after matches but it doesn't get reported because the media realise that the Premiership is a product that sells them newspapers so they try and maintain its good profile.

Over here it seems the RTE and probably the herald this evening are only dying for something to happen so they can stick the boot in at the league.

*******.

I would've put the crowd at approx 4500 - say 2500 Bohs in the Riverside (full up as far as the end of the roof nearest the Drumcondra end), 1000 Rovers in the Subbuteo stand and 1000 Rovers / neutrals in the old stand.

This isn't an idiotic 'mine's bigger than your's' comment but there's no way was there more Bohs fans than Rovers there. Anyway a very enjoyable occasion that reminds us all why this fixture is the biggest in the Country. Bohs should've had the game won by half time as our players just froze, then we should've won it in the second. Again very impressed with our players fitness levels for a part time team. As for Bohs, Devlin was excellent in the first half, the left back was terrible(hope he's playing again on Tues), and Farrelly coming on actually made Bohs worse. Enjoyable night

The Riverside couldn't have been full because part of it was blocked off and the part to the left(from the main stand) of the fencing was empty. It also wasn't full all the way down the Ballybough end.

The new stand was about 3/4full, the main stand less than 2/3 - can someone who knows the capacity of the various bits of Tolka tell me what that adds up to? I don't think there was anything like 3,000 Rovers fans.

Ah c'mon now... The new stand where i was definatly FULL! And the main stand was at least 90% full.... sure ppl who watched it on tv could tell you that!! I'd say there were in between 2,500 and 2,800 rovers fans and maybe 2,000 bohs?

[higgins]

My estimate is that there was 1000 in the new stand and 2000 in the main stand,could be more in new and less in main where I was,but I reckon there was 3000 hoops fans there tonight and 1500 bohs.That's not being biased,that's my honest opinion.Can anybody back me up or set me straight with official figures?

There are not 1000 seats in the New Stand

There are not 2000 seats in the Main Stand

More rubbish...

You were in the New Stand - I was looking at it; I've gone home from matches in Dalyer convinced the Jodi was full because it was full around me only to see it half full on TV - the New Stand wasn't completely full and the main was empty at the Ballybough end

Really not pushed about this debate, because if Shams had a big crowd it was only because you were playing Bohemian FC. But, I can tell you with no word of a lie that the lego stand was far from full. There was a good number of seats at the top (stage) left that were showing pretty vacant Shels red.

It probably didn't look full due to people not in the far side, but you have to remember that there was alot of them in the staircases and grouped together in the rows or seats!

Also - it was 1/2 hour after the final whistle before we were standing on Richmond Rd. - I've seen crowds of 80,000 disperse more quickly

Yeah and how many times have we had to stand on the connaught street side in dalyer for 25 minutes while yous jump around in the jodi after getting a late draw?I've lost count,it'll be the same on tuesday except we'll be doing the jumping into the next round.

Yawn......."Rovers are the biggest club in the country, this match is the biggest in the league". Keep deluding yourselves lads but eventually you will relaise that no-one cares about Rovers or Bohs and no-ones rates an hour and a half of hoofball before a scrap as the biggest game in Ireland.

Then why was our match live on national television and yours isn't? and why was there over 4000 at our match and there wont be at yours?

Ah Ah Ah, Super Gretna alert, nshoop.

Speranza, I'll probably pop into Tolka for Derry/Shels and see if there's more than 4,000 who care and whether tv cares...

The standard of football and form drops out of the window for a derby - it's not supposed to be great football and yet guess what the telly chose and 4,000 people..and that's despite the ludicrous original ticketing arrangement.

[nshoop]

Ah Ah Ah, Super Gretna alert, nshoop.

You're right,but you'll forgive my cockyness after bohs' second half performance.To be honest,they weren't great in the first half,we were just a bag of nerves.A first timer would've said that we were the premier side last night if he hadn't have known,on and off the pitch.

Yeah i know but i saw all the pictures and it is full!!! Pictures

GAA alert!

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome was what I was thinking of; have never been at a GAA match in my life apart from the ones I was forced to play in primary school

The hype in the press, the biggest derby in Irish football, the biggest crowd of the weekend, and the only game shown on tv.

Yeah, nobody cares alright!!!

[nshoop]

The star today had the attendance as 2500,must have been taking the p*ss,and I don't want to drag this out but how can viking say it was even fan wise?There was 2500-3000 hoops supporters and no more than 1500 bohs supporters.I know it's not really important but how could anybody say there was as many bohs as rovers there?
