Assaults at GAA games

[Baile Brigín 2]

Nothing but a fair lot of scum following teams these days. Nearly as bad as the soccer. They have to start seperating them in the hill.

It's much worse than soccer.

fans are separated in soccer. Rows would be fairly common outside of stadiums in soccer would they?

No.

Yes. Plenty of rows in the lower leagues in England. They just dont get reported. Also a lot involving prem teams. Unfortunately I have been caught up in them before

What has England got to do with it?

[Baile Brigín 2]

I have to agree with that. Soccer is such a bad example of a sport to compare to it, often ran by a corrupt mercenary organisation counting ultras and fascists among supporters. The GAA needs to keep its own standards and keep them better...

Those well known Irish soccer fascists...

Gaago? Not mercinary?

Why are we even talkimg about soccer?

Because it has had to segregate its followers for the last 50 years maybe?

Because of a FIFA rule, not because of Irish fascists.

Was there any trouble at the Setanta Cup matches this year?!!

Agreed

Shouldn't even be mentioned in this discussion

The GAA have an issue and it needs resolved

Hopefully we don't get to the stage where we need to forcibly segregate supporters as that is just the absolute pits

But any and all solutions should remain on the table

It does seem to be only on the terraces where there are issues because you get groups of "friends" in one area and they are all tough men when they have a few around them.

Drink and Drugs are a major contributory factor and nothing is going to change there so its hard to know the best way for the GAA to deal with this.  Someday someone is going to get a box and smash there head off a concrete step and then they will be forced into action.

They can start  with refusing entry to  people off their heads on drink or/and drugs.

The Setanta Cup that ended 9 years ago?

The smoking gun that soccer has a bigger problem is fascists, lower league English football and a defunct competition...?

Is that true though? When was the last row at a soccer game?

Trouble at a recent Cork City game in the past 2 months

And they the Club who were chanting at an opposition manager whos son had or has Leukemia

The likes of you need not try to paint Irish soccer as cleaner than thou when the opposite is the case.

Theres a strange defending off soccer here by some and pretending it's much better than GAA.

Barely 2 months ago a referee was hospitalised in a local soccer match after being kung fu kicked by a sub running onto the field and Gardai/FAI investigated RTE reported on it, he got 5 year ban

Dublin referees were going to go on strike last November because referees were being assaulted

FAI Cup final had large crowd trouble in recent years and other LOI matches


Quite frankly though I think much of the issues in both sports are more about the decline in behaviour in society in this country and lack of morals, manners and punishments.

Girl there with a cut above her eye and a fella with a busted nose, think it's time to separate the Hill if shit like this is going to keep happening.

No, there is an objection to whataboutery. Soccer has dramatically cleaned up it's act. Every incident you referenced saw multi year or lifetime bans. Compare and contrast. What crowd trouble at LoI games orhen than the cup final?

We should be able to discuss trouble at our games without reference to soccer, especially incorrect references to soccer.

A combination of a dying sponsor and nordies not enjoying their on field hidings.

Literally just did. Setanta Sports went bankrupt and the IFA teams went cold on it.

What relevance is this to drunk and bagged youths fighting on the Hill?
