The First Division Thread

Expect both Ramblers and Drogheda to be fined in the coming days for invading the pitch and violent behaviour. Some disgraceful carry on both at the game and on the street outside the ground last night.

Cobh is a rough town, Gardai have priorities.

Majority of the Cobh crowd involved were not even at the game and from what I'm told are local young lads who fancy themselves as hard nuts. The video on Facebook shows them as the ones throwing the stones and rocks at the Drogheda fans who naturally reacted to it.

There had been a bit of niggle during the game, when Drogs scored the fans invaded the pitch and charged toward a corner of Rams fans. At the end of the game then a group of 10 or so ramblers 'fans' took a run across at the Drogheda crowd but we're stopped. They then appeared to have joined their friends outside waiting for the Drogs to exit the away section and got the hiding they so seeked.

A few mammies on Facebook saying their little angels got concussions but nothing more than that.

FAI sentenced a few league of Ireland clubs to a death sentence today with their decision to scrap the play offs.

A repeat of someone running away with the league like Limerick did last year and it will render the last couple months of the season utterly pointless. Be some going trying to get crowds in for games that mean feck all.
