Shamrock Rovers -v- Bohemians Match Thread [mod warning post #71]

chopperbyrne

This match deserves its own thread.

Luckily for those of us unfortunate enough to not have tickets, TG4 are showing the match. Coverage starts at 19:30 (Kick off at 19:45)

Come on Rovers!

GLaDOS

Gots me a ticket, this is gonna be electric

G'WAN BOHS!

Sunset V

Oh Twigg of Scotland.....

Bohs are looking decent again but missing players, Rovers to win 2-0.

Roaster

3-1 to Bohs!

Going to be a great occasion. Let's hope the other element of both clubs don't ruin it.

chopperbyrne

There'll be a strong Garda presence tonight and they've organised it better for entering and exiting the ground.

Hopefully, nothing will mar the occasion.

I hope so too, Danny Dyer and a film crew will over for the next one then to check out all the nawty cahnts in Ireland's huge hooligan problem.

The end they were playing into in the first half. So they should be grand if they get any penos in the second half.

Not great football on show, but it's amazing how much better a decent sized, full stand makes the game appear.

Rover's losing the midfield battle now

No wonder everyone hates Rovers. The fans are absolutely dispicable!!

Dave!

The curse does not just apply to Rovers it seems

elshambo

Defo peno

Sc**bag who ever thru the bottle
will have to start doing the "taking the lids off us going in" lark they do in other countries:o:mad:


go on the cousins:rolleyes:

*in fairness, they SHOULD take the lids of bottles off people going into grounds, standard everywhere else as far as i know (not an excuse btw)

Orizio

Linesmen hit by a bottle, lovely behaviour.

Orizio

I assume Shamrock Rovers will be punished for this, playing a few games in an empty stadium for example (rather then in just a half full one)?

?
are you for real?
have you seen the stuff thrown in places like Real Madrid?
and nothing happens (large parts of scooters etc)

THEY WILL get a fine and a decen size one at that

chopperbyrne

Whoever threw the bottle is an idiot and hopefully he gets banned for life. Not representational of all the Rovers fans though.

Anyway, we are top of the league, we are top of the league!

My apologies, I was silly enough to think the LOI cared about stomping out scumbag behaviour at soccer matches.

Carry on.

Oh the bitterness haha

At the end of the day your letting one idiot getting the better of what was a great night for Rover's

Rovers are top of the league and unbeaten in 20 league games

Bohs are going BUST they dont have the money to stay up

Bohs are getting relegated if they dont win the league

Cheeeerio

No, it's just that the punishment you suggested was completely ridiculous

dyl10

Crowe did well pulling the peno out of the defender, he should have known better.

Anyone know what Pat Sullivan was sent off for?
I thought only a booking was given out for the penalty decision

Why? As stupid as some harmless fines?

I'm getting the impression people really don't give a **** that a linesman got bottled and Joseph Ndo was subjected to racist chants.

I had the unfortunate experience of sharing a Luas home from work with a load of Bohs fans. Next time Bohs are playing in Tallaght I'm driving to work. The behaviour was dispicible, they were intimidating passengers and throwing empty cans all around the place.

Didn't hear any racist chants, and I'd actually be suprised if there was too seeing as he played for Rovers for a while.

I think we'd all rather give a **** about the football game itself to be fair. Lets not cream ourselfs over other icidents and let them be sorted by the people who can.

I could be mistaken, but watching it on tv i could hear monkey chants when Ndo was on the ball.

Now suffice it to say, I'm not Ndo's biggest fan, but f"cking monkey chants???? FFS

Shams and Bohs fans do have the same nickname for each other

maybe there it a reason:rolleyes:

In fairness, thats what it sounded like to me!

tbh I dont think I ever heard NDO get abuse

dannydiamond

Walking back towards town(waterford) with my 7 year old son after the cup final last weekend,I saw two fights, 1 between bohs fans in fancy dress and another between 3 bohs fans acting the cnut, shouting across the road to a guy with his missus,that his missus was a whore for absolutely no reason.

I was with my 7 year old son ffs!
I'm not saying that these clowns represent the bohs fans but this was from a small group of travelling fans, there's something that needs to be dealt with.

It was quite appalling tbh at this type of game,if they come near me or my son in future i'll fkin deal with them.

Keep those idiots out of your club, for inevitably they will shame you.

Edit to add, my little lad loves his football, and is lucky enough to have a local team to support(Waterford united)and he can actually go to games.
Let's not let these clowns ruin it,It's a struggle as it is.Football fans want to go to games, let's not discourage them.

You wanna calm down there, first of all getting "bottled" means getting a glass bottle smashed or stuck into you, it does not involve a plastic half empty coke bottle hittin you on the head, inexcusable as it was the bloke was grand and didn't even need treatment

and secondly I was in the end of the stand with my family and when Ndo got the ball we booed because he used to play for Rover's, absoloutely NO RACIST CHANTS AT ALL...Rover's have a big anti racism thing going on at the minute so wat your saying is TOTAL BALLS, your just an anti Rovers bitter bloke who is resorting to making things up to try and dampen a greatnight for us

take it somewhere else

Fair enough, it could have been. It sounded like monkey chants when Ndo was on the ball, But as i said, i could have well been wrong

It's something you might investigate further next time before posting in an internet forum

So to be fair, you're actually just as bad since you're going around acting the hardman talking about fighting with people who haven't come near you?

They should've just given it back to Jayo who lost it :pac:

The Al Lad

The guy is simply saying that if football hooligans come near him or his son he will defend himself........

He is saying this because he has witnessed first hand the level of which these scumbags have stooped to, to intimidate innocent families

do you really not understand that ???

It gos without saying that any father would defend their son in the blink of an eye, and no1 would criticise you for that.

But writing on an internet forum about what you'd do if something happened you, that has never happened you, just screams of trying to look like a tough guy.

Never happened?
Did you not read my post? You think I want my son witnessing that type of behaviour after a game he's just been to that was a big deal to him because of a few scumbags?

Never mind the 'tough guy' stuff. I didn't mean it to come across that way.
What I mean is that it's a crying shame he can't go to a cup final in his home town without this sh!t.
He's been to Anfield and not once did I feel I had to try and explain other peoples behaviour to him. How can that be?

I wouldn't give my sense to a halfwit if I were you

In fairness, Ndo (or any ethnic player) has never been racially abused in the LoI, it doesn't exist here

dfx-

Ndo was booed a fair bit, but that's not racial abuse. And in fairness, everything attack-wise went through him.

I don't think I can decide which of the two biannual Rovers killers I'd prefer to have missed the pen - Crowe or Byrne. I don't mind now.

Rommy Boco against Bohs by a Bohs player!:eek:
(although it may have been more ignorant stupidity than actual racism)

Also your definition of the word ethnic may need working on
foreign fits better for your meaning and for the small group of players in question!

I hope you're not trying to imply that this kinda thing, doesn't go on in the Premiership and throughout the world, because if so, you couldn't be more wrong.

The behaviour is disgusting but unfortunately its also commonplace in football.

Mark Rutherfurd experienced plenty of racist abuse in his time in the league, more so in the 90s of course.
