Good stuff.
Big win.
July can't come soon enough.
Excellent piece by Brian de Salvo as usual
Kom Igen, FCK...
This had been (kinda) coming, re: Tolka floodlights!
We played them in the LC a few weeks ago, the lights came on at the start of the game and went off straight away.
About 15/20 mins. into the game several announcements were made, now I've heard them before, "if there's a doctor please come to the dressing room" etc, but never, "If there's an electrician in the the ground please come over and fix our floodlights"
It appears when paying into Tolka these days you have to a) bring your tools with you or b) do some freebee nixers during the game.
The ground is a shambles, half the advertising hoardings from the front of the stand have blown down, the away fans toilets aren't fit for animals, at the front row of the Riverside stand there are steal bolts coming out of the concrete (very dangerous) and the floodlights aren't even secured properly.
This place is NOT FIT FOR A LICENCE!
Looks like it's off to Whitehall with ya!
Exact same pylon beside the turnstiles.
It had been swaying all game and I wouldn't say it was that close to falling down, but the game did have to be abandoned.

that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
If it wasn't bad enough we had a few toe rags masquerading as Waterford fans get on the pitch at the end to goad the home support. Muppets
False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.
Bout time too. That said it wasn't a particularly great game. Both teams were pretty poor but Bray had more about them. Tbh, Rovers looked pretty tired and disinterested.

And the majority of rovers fans confronting the Gardai who were trying to seal off their access to WUFC support on the way out were what exactly?
Shels v Harps has been called off.

Not any more.Shels are due to play Harps in Tolka tomorrow night
Was talking tonight to the assessor fella due for that game and he got a text that it has been cancelled too.

Good people being nice and preventing a foot.ie thread.
Rovers have been asked/told to vacate the main stand that they prefer, the pitch has claimed players, the floodlights are now seemingly lethal. When will the madness end

The stewards guided Rovers' fans out via the Ballybough (Waterford) end due to the potential danger of the floodlight pylon falling at the opposite Drumcondra end. They were ****ed-off but to claim they were gagging for a few Suiresiders is really streching it. When they eventually passed, they passed peacefully.
Any chance of you slagging the idiot Waterford fans who went on the pitch goading Rovers' fans? I thought you lot were smarter than that. Thankfully only a handful of idiot Rovers' kids returned the compliment (hands in the air at a safe distance, etc) and nothing happened. Not even handbags.
John, just to let you know the 2 lads who were so-called blues fans were arrested outside the ground, they released them into our custody, i personally made an official complaint to the Gardai about the lads, they got on the bus and are now OFFICIALLY BANNED FOREVER from coming to away games,i asked the gardai what will happen to them and he said the Waterford gardai will prosectute them .
Its not fair to decent blues supporters who travel up and down the length of the country and to have this ****e fired at them by so-called supporters
We are going to have a special meeting of the supporters club next week to discuss what happened tonight.
Hope this clears up a few things?
Cheers.
It would be a positive if the lads realised and accepted they were out of order, copped on, and remained Waterford United fans rather than finding themselves persona non grata and then just gave up supporting your club. No one's perfect, etc. They need guidance. If they show that they can become genuine fans and enjoy the buzz the rest of enjoy they deserve a second chance.
Bring them to up me next time around and I'll talk their ears off about Rovers and Waterford!
being evacuated!!!!
as BL and MM said no harm, the cops lagged the waterford lads because of what was happening at the time, not because it was serious.
The floodlight padding that caught fire in the 2002 City v Rovers cup final was pitch-side - i.e nowhere near the turnstiles. So not sure where you got this from...?
Ok.....
Pylon in front of Section A of the main stand in 2002:

That floodlight pylon is the one that was swaying.
