    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.


    You might not, but lets be honest, the chances that some gobsh1te turned up hammered to seek venengance for the PL robbery some United goons have labelled it is highly likely. If it was not a United fan I will eat my own....banana.

    Orrr...it could have been an extremely bitter Liverpool fan who lost it because of their dreadful league run (8th last year) and not winning the league in 23 years...I'm sure the sight of the league trophy in Thomond Park instead of Anfield made him crazy with rage...

    If it made you give up supporting your team, what else would the anguish cause a man to do!!!

    Lads, I really believe that these bananas had Ballotelli's name on them, given his statement regarding the throwing of bananas at a game.

    When he didn't play, they targeted Clichy instead.

    Or it could have been an Arsenal fan unhappy at the dirty mercenary for going elsewhere for money and trophies. Nasri was next for some treatment.

    Or it could have been one of those militant League of Ireland fans unhappy at having the cause of barstoolers on their land.

    Does it really matter who that particular idiot supports?

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

    Nice and ignorant as ever. Limerick is a lovely spot and very pleasant city. Those who seem to have a problem with it are the p****s who have never even been to Limerick.

    I know a lot of sound people from Limerick, but the place is grotty, no denying that.

    And I've been there plenty of times.

    I was in Limerick for a long weekend earlier this year with the Mrs and had a fantastic time. Everyone was extremely friendly.

    Parts of it are like parts of Dublin City for instance or Cork. All cities have good and bad parts.

    No use trying to find out who the disgraceful fan follows...we all know it was a GAA fan!

    I actually am astounded that I've gotten this much criticism for saying Limerick isn't a nice place. Were any of my critics not from there, or whats the story?

    They disagreed with you...what difference does it matter where they are from, the most dissappointing aspect of this affair is that Limerick people know better than most how hurtful other people's bigotted critisms of race / place of birth actually is...it is a matter of pride that whenever you enter a Limk FC game you are reminded of this...which is why it is not tolerated, and will never be tolerated.

    From the feed back the club have received is appears that a number of people who had never been to Limerick / Thomond Park left with nothing but pleasant memories of the event...roll on next year...

    If you criticize a person/place/religion/whatever, expect people to defend what you have ''attacked''. Human nature.

    I have been heading in limerick for about 13 or 14 years now and never got into any trouble, the scumbags tend to keep to there own so as long as you avoid a few pubs and a few estates it's a grand place.

    All my trips except one, have been football, and in all my trips I have encountered some sort of trouble. Now I understand that my trips being football means the chances of that happening are much greater than someone who just lives and works in Limerick, but I've been all over Ireland quite frequently, and the trouble has been proportionately much higher than anywhere else.

    Of course I can only speak from my own experiences, and my opinion, and others will undoubtedly have positive experiences and opinions, but my opinion is what it is.

    Dunno, it's just that you seem like a contemptible prick.

    Limerick don't play their home games in Thomand park, these quotes were about teams coming to Thomand park every year in a deal they have.
