Donegal Celtic

[Lim till i die]

Genuine question here not trying to stir anything but would it be fair to say they haven't attracted the Sell-Thick knuckle dragging brigade many were expecting??

Their crowds on Final Score from Northern Ireland look pathetic. There was one game away to Glentoran where it looked like they brought no more than 50 fans. I was expecting to see Green and White hoops everywhere.

Also is that grassy/wooden/galvinised thingy actually their home ground

They haven't seemed to get the dodgy crowd as yet although a visit to Windsor in a few months may bring some out of the woodwork. And yes that is their ground, and believe me it is even worse than it looks, particularly the away end.

[BohsPartisan]

Whats the story with DC? Why Donegal? What am I missing?

[Mr A]

A load of the streets in the area of West Belfast from which they are from have the names of Towns in Donegal, hence their name.

You don't do irony then ?

How many Munchthur jersies were to be seen amongst the 200 odd on a Friday evening at Hogan Park during the past season ?

[Monkfish]

you'd be lucky to see one (honestly) and it was more like 300

In the rain??

In Rathbane??

Get Real

r u for real.. a bit much to be having a pop at another team
with the current situation with limerick... no permanent ground for how many years.. and the support you would get more at pike rovers on a sunday :

Where am I having a pop??

Being unfamiliar with the Northern League I asked some questions to which I hoped to get some intelligent insightful answers.

It was going fine until a few genius' like yourself came on missing the point entirely.

Oh ya and attempting humour. That joke you made about Pike, an absolute classic. Have a gold star, but don't put it in your mouth or your ear or anything now

having a pop... sell thick knuckle dragging supporters .. ? grassy / wooden / galvanised thinghy.. !!! only 50 supporters at match ..!!
apologies if i took you up wrong... !!! and see how easy it is to upset someone when you make a few comments about their club

the dodgy crowd yet... (donegal celtic )

what happened the last time they played at windsor park cup match against linfield a good few years ago.. one of their players was attacked on the pitch during the match by a so called linfield fan

and not so long ago glentoran / linfield fans had a mini riot after cup final ... so lets be honest here yes i'm sure donegal celtic will bring some dodgy crowd ( not their genuine fans ) but lets not forget all the other teams in league who have a hell of a lot more dodgy crowds following them for years & still following them

Calm down there, nobody is denying that other teams have their problems. Check the initial post on the thread, that is what I was replying to. It was not a questioon about Linfield or glentoran fans, it was about Donegal Celtic fans. That's why I came back with a response about Donegal Celtic fans. Also your memory of the game in 1990 seems very selective there. You remember one incident from so much that happened that day.

fair enough it was about donegal celtic fans .. but you could have also mentioned other teams have / had the same problems with supporters .. ,, so much happened in 1990 i know ... but lets face it a supporter from any team getting attacked on any pitch is very hard to forget,, thankfully it was in the past .. and we all hope that it never happens again .. and it looks like football in northern ireland moving on..

"Dodgy crowds" following teams all over Ireland, gitser, just in case you were about to mount a high horse.

Personally the abiding memory for me that day was the full scale riot on the Spion Kop with the police having to fire plastic bullets to control the crowd not Brendan Tully getting a bit of a kick in the arse and going down as if he had been hit by one of the plastic bullets. Not condoning that attack in any way but it is one of the most blown up incidents that I have ever seen in football.

The reaction of the RUC that day was way OTT. There was no need to fire plastics indiscrimately into the crowd failing to follow the rules set for the use of plastic bullets.

There was no need for people to turn up in their thousands for an excuse to attack the police. If you are breaking the law, regardless of what team they were supposedly supporting that day then they deserved all they got.

You seem happy that they acted illegally? I was there. Iwas not involved in the trouble. Was it ok for them to fire them at me or the thousands of others not involved in the trouble? Or maybe cracking a few innocent heads open too with batons was all right?
