A club official. He didn't give out to all of us, just your man.

Terribly irritating to come all the way down and see us lose to a late winner like that. Once again, I commend Alan Mahon, he will break his deadlock this season.

what was he giving oiut about? it wasnt the fella that was thorwn out...some other yonug lad! some strike from the number8 in the first half....if a team deserved to win it was rovers but that might be harsh on UCD, a draw wud have been fair enough

We're losing these "draw would have been fair enough" games left, right and centre so I'll take an undeserved win next week if it's what required to get the three points.

He was asking the other fella if he was the culprit already being p1ssed off by then.

I have a picture of yer man with his top off standing in front of us all, what made him do that? He needs to work on his guns a bit before giving out tickets to the gun show like that

Not too sure. Any of you lads know?

Think it was intended as a bit of craic. He got two bottles thrown at him though, so he ended up getting removed from the ground as for inciting the home crowd (not that the home security did anything about the Rovers knacker in the Celtic jersey...)

Don't agree that Sligo "deserved" the win. It was a poor game from two poor sides. We hit the post twice, I think Matt Gregg made two good saves and that was it. It had draw written all over it, and Sligo were just the ones fortunate enough to nab a goal at the death.

First win in 12 years, I think. Enjoy it! We'll be back...

That's the bottle green Celtic away jersey in the back row of the singing section to be precise.

By the way, the Sligo security saw the second incident, which resulted in his expulsion, coming a mile away in one of the greatest displays of ineptitude I've witnessed before my eyes. There was three stewards in front of us and one behind us. The three called the guy behind us to go after him. By the time he got round from the back to the front he decided he couldn't be bothered. All four of them made a vein attempt to summon the steward on the halfway line to no avail and they just stood stationary and watched from afar as trouble flared up again. Sheer laziness prevented any of them from moving to do anything. A comedy of errors.

Don't know if he actually got removed? Think he was just told to stay over the other side...he was given that option anyway, although that was before the guard came so he may have kicked him out.

Got removed and banned from our home games for the season.

Serious questions being asked about the Sligo stewarding though - even the head steward said some of them were useless.

One of them seemed to be employing Jedi mind tricks to control the kids beside us after their goal. Some stern staring and gesturing of the hand away from us. Not that it worked!

**pineapple stu** · 01/04/2007, 10:56 PM

And one of them seemed to be retarded (seriously...)

**Aberdonian Stu** · 02/04/2007, 9:03 AM

I wasn't at the game but given the way these incidents are being described and the ease with which the participants in them did what they did it says a lot about the standard of stewarding in some grounds.

Away fans in particular should always be protected as they are at greater risk in any game and fans of either side (especially topless away ones!) should be prevented from causing trouble to people sitting peacefully.

i was behind where one of these bottles were thrown...an empty, plastic 250ml bottle that wasnt thrown in malice or intended to harm....

**Aberdonian Stu** · 02/04/2007, 9:15 AM

A thrown object of any kind is crossing the line, even if the person it's being thrown at has leapt across the line already!

A second bottle (a full Lucozade bottle) was thrown by the lad in the Celtic jersey with plenty of malice just after that.

no it wasn't, i was in the front row right in front of him and there was a blue water bottle thrown, then a similar one which was half full was more lobbed than thrown, but whoever threw it obviosly shouldn't have done it, dont think any of the stewards saw him as the one closest to them had her back turned dealing with the gun show host!
a seasons ban from ye're home games...very harsh!
