Total non-story. There are drunken layabouts in every town every day, just waiting to mouth off (or worse) to anyone who doesn't know to steer clear. They never make the news.
Perhaps what made this incident "Man Bites Dog" (newsworthy) is that these particular tourists were drawn into what might be expected to be an entirely local problem (in this case, sectarianism).
Which for a city which is trying to attract Tourists via City of Culture etc, is especially depressing.
[Unless, of course, the Newsworthiness lies in the fact that it is Taigs who are alleged to have indulged in Sectarianism. I mean, I always thought it was only Prods who did that sort of thing... ]

Quote from: donegal lad on July 26, 2012, 03:23:27 PMi was stewarding the gate behind the goal at the o Duffy stand hope that wasn't you doing somersaults to get away from the supervisor great entertainment
i was one of the people who climbed the fence at the oduffy terrace at the end of the game on sunday and would do it again. the feeling of being on the pitch to witness my county make history was unreal and must say that when the guard seen me jump over he just give me a sort of nod and didnt have a problem with it only person that did was the main stweard there. there would be no injuries or trouble if they would just let the people onto the field through the gates at the end of the game. they actually were gonna try stop that crowd at the bottom of the hill on sunday. by doing that they were risking way more injuries than if they would just let them on safely at the end. if donegal were to win the sam in september there is only 1 place i will want to be to see the trophy being lifted and that isnt sitting in a seat in the stand time the gaa realised this is tradition and stopping it takes away from the atmosphere slightly last years all ireland final presentation lacked any atmosphere tbh with all the dubs sitting in their seats imagine what it would of been like with them all on the field looking up to the hogan stand steps

There seemed to be some controversy about a Johnston wide. Was anyone there that got a good view of it confirm if it was over or not? What was the score when this score wasn't given?
Thought it was wide myself.
There was an Ian Ryan free in the first half which was waved wide that looked fairly debatable.

Not the SPL anyway.
Do the go down the leagues like the Ballroom of Romance asking "Are you dancing?"
Quote from: Donnellys Hollow on July 02, 2012, 08:57:56 AMc.c.c.c.c must be delighted with that draw
At least one man will save on petrol. Great opportunity for Cavan to take the scalp they left behind in 2008 when Kavanagh got Kildare out of jail in the last minute. We've angered the footballing gods and this could well be a fitting punishment.
Hopefully we'll see a few more of the young players given an opportunity but I doubt the manager is thinking long term now.

The situation is quite farcical, but the kildare county board exploited a loophole in the rules, kinda in a way the transfer was delayed on purpose until the Kildare 1st round championship was played by croke park, and the committee was happy they pulled a fast one delaying Johnston playing to next year! but alias they got round it and nobody coming out of this smelling like roses, a quick transfer although wrong would have been best all round as he would have got it sooner or later once residency was proven
