2 seasons ago - no trouble, but was caught uo around Gardiner St last yr, and im not saying theres loads of agro inside the ground, but its the athmosphere around some of the games

Was in a pub in Drogheda having a few pints a couple of weeks ago. watching the Rugby before heading up to Rovers N Drogs when the bar man locked the door because rovers fans were passing by.... great win for rovers though and no trouble that i saw

Then again, never let the facts stand in the way and all that....

Evening Herald reader perchance?

Never said I was threatened or its like a warzone, its just not the athmpsphere Im interested in, as for papers, Star, Indo Times Herald, Business Post, Sunday World etc

I refuse to leave my house anymore in Shels gear. I'm afraid. Last time I went out I was beaten by a 10 year old. He held me down and said that if I didn't say that Dermot Keely was a "big nose ****" (his words) he'd punch me with his tiny fists. He said Shels "were scum" and that he had to hurry cause he ma was cooking his dinner. That's how I eventually got away. Traumatic experience.

That implies they're not any more though. So in a way, he was pointing out a perceived improvement in your team's makeup.

Every cloud and that...

That same fellow got me. He held me down on some lawn, held my nose so i could'nt breath, picked up bits of grass and when i had to open my mouth to breath the cheeky ******* put grass in. Ive never wore my colours since and I still have nightmares!!

That was a considerable distance from the ground.

Any trouble?

Not that I've heard. Big Garda presence outside the ground and they seemed very professional in their approach.

She won't use Bebo to communicate her displeasure (was it the Star gave us that one?) so she's gone back to that other sinister instrument of hoolie communications, the mobile phone.
But my house is a considerable distance from Tolka Park also.
Seriously, anyone who says they don't go to football because of the 'violence' needs to get out a bit more.
