apparently a few wexford youths fans got a season ban for letting of a bit of smoke at turners cross last weekend. Banning young fans for displays won't help increase ticket sales or increase support for the club.

On the flip, that will cost Wexford Youths 500 quid if last years fines are anything to go by, possibly more, thats a huge dent for the likes of Wexford. Personally I don't agree at all with bannings in the LOI, the league is far too small to be copying from the UK in this regards. Instead, why don't they get this group of lads together and explain to them that setting off smoke bombs and flares is financially damaging to the club, and treat them like fans instead of criminals.

Maybe this was done before but with it being Wexford, I wouldnt think so, cant ever remember seeing them with pyro before.

If you're stupid enough to be letting of pyro in a stadium and get caught you deserve to be banned. Its hardly a surprise they were banned.

has it changed that the fan's team gets banned? I always thought it was the home team as it was a responsibility to search, but proper order putting it on their own club

I would say first offence, I read somewhere on facebook it had been bought for the last game of the season but didnt arrive in time. Didnt sound like they had a habit of ordering... and not like wexford would have had too many other occasions to celebrate like that in their short history.
surely it would be a better option to say to them; pay the fine you caused or serve the ban?

Lads, be sure not to believe everything you read when it comes to matters like this. The club committee wouldn't have made a tough decision like this if it hadn't reached the point where they couldn't afford it to continue. Breaking rules has consequences, which those involved completely fail to understand.

Not the first time there's been pyro. Not the first time there's been trouble. The committee aren't mugs.

To Elland Back

The only comment I'll make on this is to confirm that WYFC were fined for the incident and warned of the consequences if there was even a single repeat

DrumSteve

There is more Garda on the pitch than players at Dalyer at the moment

What happened?

DrumSteve

Someone ran on from our end, few lads ran on from Rover's end, a few more of our lads ran on then the Garda joined in.

Small bit of a melee.

Darkglasses

We well deserved our hammering by Pats tonight unfortunately. Very poor all over the pitch.

BOHtox

Rovers scored their fourth and were celebrating. A few dopes from both sides were giving it the large.

A bohs fan ran on to the pitch and over to the rovers fans. One rovers fan ran on, followed by a few more from Bohs and Rovers. Small scrap. The guards were a bit slow to deal with it but it should obviously never happen at anyway ground.

Both teams need to ban any culprits as they are the scorn of irish football.

On a lighter note: Joe Duffy will have guests on on Monday calling for LOI to be banned

How long did it last? I can only imagine it got worse outside the ground.

Galway United and Cork City played out an entertaining draw at EDP. Either side could have nicked it, which would have been harsh. I thought the ref was very poor overall too.

Rovers fans have been on the pitch in the last three times we've played them. Nothing is ever done about it so they continue to do it.

Every time fans enter the pitch area fines should be doubled. If clubs start getting fined four or five grand you can be damn sure it'll stop

Omackeral

Bohs fan here. One of ours went over to them first, after their 4th went in. We're more to blame than them tonight tbh.

The incident itself only went on for about 2 minutes but huge Garda presence stopped anyone else getting on the pitch.

Pity we can't pass on whatever fine we get to the chap that ran on.

It's utterly ridiculous that the first lad was able to waddle his way right up to the fence with the public order unit behind the goal, stand-side, looking at him.

You spend so much time and effort keeping both sides apart and then stand by and watch them confront each other. There should be a line of them pitchside all along that corner, where there has been numerous pitch incursions over the years, going back to the LSC game.

The RTE video has half a million views. For all the good that independent video from last year did, 1 scrote went and undid it all.And he'll probably be back at Dalymount by the end of the season.

In the UK, it's illegal to go on the pitch, I'd love that to come in here. That fella probably only goes to the 3 rovers games a year, so being banned isn't much of a disincentive. If the lads hopping the hoardings to throw shapes at each other knew they could actually end up in court, this would stop overnight.

Completely agree, I think there were a load of gardai down by the halfway line as well, where there is no chance of anything happening. It's as if they are under orders from the FAI to do everything possible to maximise the number of fines per game

Ronan|Raven

Happy enough with the point against Derry tonight. Apparently their equaliser was from over 30 yards out.

That's nonsense. Nothing's changed. Attendances are the same, opinions are the same, Irish football fans are the same. There really was nothing to undo and nothing has been undone.

It's utterly ridiculous that the public order unit is needed at a football game in the first instance

I agree. There was Garda on horses at the Dundalk/Derry match. Nonsense, everybody in football knows Dundalk and Derry fans get along. With the match on telly a lot of Derry supporters stayed at home or watched it in a pub(as did a lot of Dundalk supporters) who decides on this anyway, the clubs, the FAI or the Garda? I agree at matches between certain clubs there should be increased security but not every match. For all our rivalry I cannot recall an incident at any Drogheda match. Nor at the vast majority of matches. And that's as how it should be.

It's handy overtime for the Gardaí and their barracks is around the corner from Oriel park. I've seen mounted horses and bloody tactical teams and everything up there. Ridiculous.

Ah well if that's the case fair play to them. They're underpaid as it is so I wouldn't want to begrudge them a few hours overtime!

Clubs pay for it, I know at Shels they have a deal with the local station!

Who decides how many gardai will be on duty at a game?

They have games down in category's which result in the amount of guards, etc... also the clubs help advise afaik.

Right call this time. Cooke will keep a side up but won't do anything else. With the players they have they're aiming to be a top 6 side.

Depends on who they get in I guess. Don't know who is rumoured, can't think of anyone for it.

Don't think he's worked as a manager in about 5 years.

11 years later and Sligo people are still adding an ' O' ' to his name.

I heard Paul Doolin to Bray

Killduff out for foreseeable future, Ciaran O'Connor fractured metatarsal, Grimes out and Barrett doubtful. Really need McEleney back and fit.
