Too bad we didn't sign him while Gareth Farrelly was with us then.

Turner and Dessie Byrne should get on like a house on fire, they can compare techniques.
Revenge for 2002
Are you serious when you say FANS / 4000 / ROVERS in the same sentence?
I just presumed the entire post was a fine piece of satire.

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
You seem to be advocating sectarianism here.if this guy boots the fúck out of someone for calling him an orange bástard, i cant wait for the first Dublin derby when 4,000 Rovers fans call him and all his chums the same.
Is it a rite of passage to pull on the black and tan that you have to skin a fenian?
He's not. Its Bohs/Rovers thing.You seem to be advocating sectarianism here.

Yeah some people in a photo of one of our early sides had handlebar moustaches so in the primitive Rovers mind that means we're a protestant club.

Rovers fans are not sectarians.
Just like Jade Goody is not a racist.
Cogito ergo Bohs
Unfortunately we have seen the bad side of some Rovers fans when they come to Belfast to support Cliftonville when playing Linfield.
No doubt many of these 4,000 Rovers fans proudly display the national flag of the Irish Republic at club and international matches.
How ironic.
The Englishmen came over in the year 2005
But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild
And this is what we sang...
We advocate equal opportunities sectarianism -You seem to be advocating sectarianism here.

Despite the fact that we were founded in 1890 by students you're probably right. God Save The Queen!
As opposed to the Celtic ones your crowd still wear...

Funny david, but i would have said the cliftonville fans are the ones coming along to rovers games causing trouble, thats what my impression would be over the years, not that rovers have there own fair share following them.
They must have a good deal going between the two sets of fans
It's not.
It's sectarian. And it's bigoted. It's a crass attempt, unique to Irish football, and absolutely astonishing to read in the 21st century, to use a narrow vision of national identity as a measure of worth in a football club. His reason for airing it might be 'a Bohs/Rovers thing', but that makes the sentiment no less revolting.
Some hoops -- I'm sure not all -- appear to hold to the belief that it's a mark of shame that the club had some Protestants among its founders. In 1890. I'm not sure if this colours their attitude to Guinness (1759) or Trinity College or any other Irish institutions that weren't founded exclusively by rosary-chanting Gaels.
I'm proud that the club I support had both Catholics and Protestants among its founders. I would be even happier if there were some moslems, jews, atheists and agnostics. I'd be happiest of all if their religious and political beliefs were considered entirely irrelevant.
I realise that you're a relative newbie to this lark but it is a Rovers/Bohs thing. We'll take any edge going and the ambiguity surrounding Bohs formation and history does the job nicely.
For instance our baiting of Derry fans re. the Queen's shilling and slagging Paul McGrath's alcoholism when he was at Waterford. In Derry's case a lot of us would be politically sympathetic to Derry people but that doesn't stop us. In McGrath's case he's a hero to most Irish football fans but fair game at the same time. See also Roy Keane songs in Cork.

I presume you are referring to the elected Council members of Derry City Council in Londonderry, as there is of course no such placename as "Derry".
What a witty group of people you are. Being a relative newbie, this has been lost on me up to now, but my education continues! So you don't really mean it? Or it's only slightly sectarian?

That's probably the most viable position available to someone who would like to keep up this sinister line, but not have to take any responsibility for it. Ironic that it's coming from supporters of a club which itself is being targeted by bigots.
