What banjoz is saying is true, the socail club does not sell alcoholic drinks until the match has finished. It has always been that way. The ginger fella who was part of the dromintee management team or just a player who hadnt stripped tried to keep the fighting going as when both teams had left the pitch he was still looking to fight.

It was just a case of dromintee being sore losers both on and off the pitch

has anybody else heard that all league games will take place this saturday evening at 6.30 on account of the u21 semi-final being on sun at 3pm?

Yes.
According to the Orchardcounty website all League games are on Saturday evening at 6.30pm.

Lads, i was at this game and the whole thing should never have happened. there was a bit of stuff between the teams at the final whistle all right but nothing major.

The problem was one of stewarding. when all was settled, some of the tir na nog crowd undoubtedly took to the field looking for retribution after how the initial row had panned out and 5 minutes of mayhem ensued. it's impossible for me to make any comment on alcohol levels as i wasn't close enough to anyone to know. during the game there was none of the verbals between supporters that you'd get at a cross or clans game. the supporters from each club were sort of in seperate places. that said, when the people from outside the wire spilled onto the pitch, it did get hairy on the bank as for some reason the dromintee support seem to al be in the over 50 category! lol.

anyway, in the grand scheme of things, who gives a shite and the only concern from a dromintee point if view should be that they lost to portadown

Hi! Theres nothing wrong with losing to portadown lol

As long as it's not the championship, then there would be somthing wrong with losing to Porty

I think we have only played well in the championship once in about 3 or 4 years and we still got beat

i was there on sunday, it wasn't pretty but the most experienced man on the pitch has to take the blame for starting the whole thing. i have to admit my saddest thing of all was to hear that same player whom i have travelled all over ireland to watch when representing armagh said, 'when you portadown lads come to dromintee later in the year you'll leave in BAGS'. Not a great statement to come from a so called role model.

there is a lot of new posters on this issue

Quote'when you portadown lads come to dromintee later in the year you'll leave in BAGS'

although i must say i can remember a certain corner forward telling us we wouldnt get out of dromintee alive last year, about two minutes into the game. i thought it hillarious at the time!

anyway back to the topic. if portadown supporters were allowed to enter the feild to box the players its a disgrace. i always thought they were strict at keeping that gate closed for matches there.

As much as I agree that the O'roukes would start a row in hell, ala Harps game up in dromintee last year, personally I have seen before a large section of Tir na Og support drinking carryouts while watching a game of football. On one occasion I myself had to be restrained from a supporter who was giving constant vile abuse to a very young charlie Vernon at a U21 Championship game a few years back in Clomore.
Like most i enjoy a pint after a game but lads being aloud to drink from 'blue bags at league games is a receipe for disaster.

Tir na nÓg · April 17, 2007, 01:49:17 PM

Tir na nog are very strict about keeping the gate locked. I think it was when the referee was leaving some players who hadnt stripped out came onto the pitch.
