I wonder will these rodents be seen in the Jackman Park next week. :rolleyes:

Would wager that the scum involved have no interest in attending games at Jackman Park and even if they do get caught and charged, they will have their free legal aid to help them and some excuse of being drunk/having a rough time in life etc.

Great, this is just what we need!

Terry said Suarez did it, not sure if he was blaming or complementing him.

Denis was on the field at the time, watertight alibi

Ah the Unireh fans in Limerick...

Regardless, it's an act of vermin!

This doesn't come as much surprise to me. Limerick is not a very nice place.

Yeah because the actions of a couple of scummers is a reflection on how everyone else is there. :rolleyes:

Come on...

I've the height of respect for Gael Clichy after his tweet. He doesn't start ranting or anything like it, he is really smart and puts himself above it all. Thats the best way to treat ****tards like that. They would probably get pleasure out of him ranting and raving if he did it but he doesn't even give them that. Well done sir.

How sad to see "bananas thrown on the pitch" tonight... Knowing people around the world need food. #nowordsforthis

I didn't say it was a reflection on how everyone else there. But a decent proportion of bad apples can ruin it for everyone.

Saw that happen at the game last night and nearly fell off my seat; in this day and age in Ireland ffs. The Limerick players picked it up and threw it off the field. Shocking and embarrassing.

I genuinely hope they find whoever threw it on cctv and string them up on a cross.

On a positive note, Limerick held there own against City and we're only undone by the 4 world class players they had on the field. Clichy was motm; for a friendly the guy gave everything and Denis Suarez looks like a player.

"Limerick have promised that any fan found to be involved in the incident will be banned from Limerick matches"

Seeing as at most there was 1 actual Limerick fan out of every 10 attending, I doubt there's anyone in fear of not attending Limerick games in the future.

Fantastic way of encouraging English teams to come over :rolleyes:

Absolute moron

What was announced was that anyone involved will be banned from any Limerick match but will also get banned from blanket banned from Thomond Park for any event be it soccer, rugby, concert etc.

But I do agree that the chances of the scummers being actual regulars at Jackman Park is very very slim indeed.

surely theres some other punishments? legal ones?

retard making it less likley for teams to come back...

Dzeko was class, clichy motm.

santa cruz is finished....disaster of a player now.

what a stupid moronic act - does he feal all brave and heroic today ?
- should be forced into a grovelling apology

Yakult

Hopefully they catch the moron who did it. If you go to a football match only to throw a fcuking banana, you are a truly sad human being that society could do without so please fcuk off.

It might have taken 6 posts here but it was the first thing that popped into your head so not sure what your point is really

In fairness fans going to football matches in Limerick tend to have problems leaving the stadium without getting windows smashed/stones thrown by locals with no interest in football, I'm sure it's not a majority but it shouldn't be an unexpected comment on a football forum. Also to not single out Limerick should mention that places like Derry and Dundalk can have similar problems.

brianregan09

To be honest I've been going to limerick games for ages and never once heard of any of this, can't say the same for half the places up in Dublin...specially the inner city ones

older i get better i was

can't see the gardai investing any time in this tbh, although the thick that done it should have been grabbed straight away and dealt with.

That's complete and other bollox I know there was trouble before with a certain dublin team and a lot of locals come out for revenge but that was a one off.

We'll see next season when Limerick are hopefully back in the Premier but would expect more of the same whenever teams bring big support, not only a Limerick problem as I say. Hell I used to have plenty of friends growing up in Galway who got great thrills from throwing rocks at the train coming in from Dublin.

I would wager that an Old Trafford ban would be of more use.

I thought that too till i actually went down to watch city on Sunday,extremely friendly people from taxi men to shop assistants to the stewards in the ground, everyone i met went out of their way to make myself and my daughter feel welcome in the city

Not the Emirates then?

Have no idea why a United fan would have beef with Clichy, he just goes about his business. Yeah ok he's a City player, but I wouldn't hold anything against him. Quality left back who just gets on with the game.

It was sad to read this morning

I'm sure Fifa will withdraw our best fans in the world award now

I don't mind Limerick - I got a bottle of beer thrown at me in Jackman Park. Better than a banana.

Going by your previous posts, you seem to have alot of hatred towards United so I'll take your comment with that in mind. Coming from an ex-Liverpool supporter (as you put it yourself!!!), you'd never think they might be fans from another club (or none at all???)

Yes, it would be of use, seeing as United have quite a few black players also.

Well Munster are hugely supported in limerick and they get 26k at every heineken cup game, so I'd say a large amount of them were at this game so his point is fair enough.

In fairness Damo is just an angry angry man. My money would be on them being United fans that would struggle to name 11 players similar to the Celtic tracksuit wearing knuckledraggers that give Celtic fans a bad name.

Classy stuff from Clichy though.
