A couple of Rovers lads escorted from the Connaught Street side after a few seats, em, combusted was all the hassle I saw.

Rovers fans were fighting with Gardai and Stewards at the end and did some damage to a few ad boards.

There was minor ****e in the jodi at full time as the gardai tried to clear the stand. Nothing major though.

Attendance was 2900 give or take 50

That all? Seemed more.

Thought it was more myself. Connaught st holds 4,000, thought it was half full. If that's the figure I'm a little surprised. Great atmosphere I thought. One of the most tense games I've been to.

Read the 5th post in that thread linked by Colm C. He notes the high number of Celtic jersies on show in town. Yes, Celtic Colm

And then the FAI Cup winner could be from the top three as well.

I can categoricaly confirm that Derry will not finish in the Top 3. Even less chance UCD.

I saw many Celtic jersies tonight - always plenty of them at Rovers' games. This was the first game I'd been to involving Premier Division sides since November 2006 and if that is the standard every week then I'm not missing out on much

. Poor game but there was plenty of dirty challenges which was the only interesting part of the game. I counted 75 guards inside the ground at one stage and there were many other guards outside as well as a big numbers of stewards. Probably about 150-175 personnel hired for tonight

I didnt mention riot. I said "altercation" I didnt mean last night in general, I mean these d!cks who follow our clubs (with no interest in football) looking to cause a row. No drama.

Connaught holds 3700 and a scattered out crowd can make it look fuller then it is. Jodi was only full from D to G.

I work with a rovers fan who was there last night. He said there were guards swinging batons at some of the known rovers fans. Of course he said it was for no reason but its hard to believe that the guards would attack the fans for no reason.

There an incident during the game when the Gardai removed a Hoop or 2 because a seat mysteriously went on fire.

Then there was the usual carry on at the end with Rovers fans climbing up onto the ad boards [some of which were damaged]

There was a bit of pushing and shoving in the Jodi as well as the gardai tried to clear the stand, and when a load of people just went to the bar they ordered the bars be closed because they hadnt done all that pushing and shoving so people could go drinking.

Taximan (not Pat Scully) told me he saw O'Connel St closed off but nothing actually happened, bar a bit of running around on D'olier St

**R�iteoir** · 08/08/2007, 11:21 AM

Ah who really cares - what matters is that the "Cup Specialists" have kept up their super record of not reaching yet another Cup Final

Ye he does and while Im no fan of his I have to say our defensive record this season speaks for itself...its was the best in the league until Saturday due in no small part to Jason.

**sfc red** · 08/08/2007, 1:49 PM

It's all Heary!!

**Erstwhile B�z** · 08/08/2007, 1:59 PM

That's Hearysay.

Can any Bohs fan confirm that Mick McCarthy might have been there last night to see Rossiter?

Ould fellow behind me was adamant that McCarthy had a chat with him (MR) after the Wolves game. McCarthy left at half time, too. :sherlockholmes: (TheBohs.com seem to think it was Joxer.)
