    Tell all the Bohs you know
    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.

    So how come we were stuck over on the far side (where the covered terrace used to be) earlier in the season, with Derry fans free to wander through our section?

    Reminds me of the time UCD played Everton in cup winners cup and this Liverpool mate of mine,who lived in Ireland went over to Goodison and he and his freind were the only 2 people in one of the Goodison stands!!!.

    Don't know TBH, but that was the only time this year for the away fans to be put there. That was done for the Sligo cup replay last year and we weren't allowed to walk near the Sligo fans. We had to be taken onto the greyhound track to get to the section were we stand to avoid them.
    As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls

    The last block of seats in the Wollen is used for away support if they travel in
    numbers. They still have to pass by the home fans if they are going to the shop
    or toilet.

    When there was a silent protest for the Mons game ATFC took on extra private
    security incase there was a riot
    (They didnt understand the cincept of silent protest)

    It was a total joke though cos 1 security man was clearly looking to start a
    fight with anyone who made eye contact with him and the other lad was high
    as a kite, smoking a joint at the back of the stand!
    He tried to pick on a couple of 12 year olds but they frightened him off.

    We were segrageted into the Ballybough end in Tolka and apparently stewards
    stopped some supporters from going along the Richmond Rd stand to the chipper.
    I got through no problem but wasnt allowed to bring my food back to the Ballybough
    in case I threw it at the players (according to the steward). He should have known better,
    judging my my roundness it was unlikely that I'd be throwing any food away!!

    We are trying to sort out the problem with away fans by putting in facilities at the railway end[ the end closest to where away fans normally are]. best idea would be to put the away fans at the start of the stand so they would have to go by us

    Everybody seems to bitch about the weather down here anyway. I doubt a piece of thin canvas over your heads will make much difference when you're staring into the Irish Sea.

    Sure as Roy Keane pointed out, there is a massive anti-cork bias within the FAI

    .

    Be glad that there was a strong presence of guards. If it did kick off and there was **** all policing there would be a different thread on this matter
