83 year old fights for life after bohs & dublin gaa fans attack her

Bohs fans suspected as woman fights for her life

Austrian police were last night searching for a group of suspected Bohemians soccer fans who left an elderly woman in a critical condition in hospital.

Police in the city of Salzburg say that three English-speaking men injured the 83-year-old, who remained in a coma last night, after attempting to steal a motorbike on Tuesday night.

Police have launched an intensive hunt for the men, believed to be fans of the League of Ireland champions, who drew 1-1 with Red Bull Salzburg in the first leg of a Champions League qualifier in the city last night.

Witnesses say the woman hit her head when one of the men knocked her over as he was running away.

Several searches of local bars and hotels were carried out by police, who took a number of Bohemians fans in for questioning before releasing them without charge.

Police said they believe the men they are looking for are Irish football fans because they spoke English and are likely to be one of hundreds of Bohemians fans that were in the city for the match.

But the honorary secretary of Bohemians, Gerry Conway, told the Irish Independent that there is no evidence at this stage to show that the club’s fans were responsible for the incident.

“All the police know is that they spoke English - there were obviously other English-speaking men in the city of Salzburg that night,” said Mr Conway, speaking from Salzburg.

He added that the thoughts of the Dublin club are with the woman and her family, and that the club condemns the violence, whether it was carried out “by a Bohemians fan or anyone else”.

FAI head of security Joe McGlue said that the association was still in the process of gathering information about the incident.

“We’re speaking to the police and to the embassy about it but until we know more, and until the three men responsible for this are found it’s impossible to say more.”

Austrian bus driver Wolfgang Tutschka witnessed the incident and said that when the men realised they had been spotted stealing a bike they became “instantly aggressive”.

He said that an onlooker tried to stop them escaping with the bike, but the men then began to assault him.

“They punched and kicked him repeatedly and it was awful to watch,” Mr Tutschka said, adding that the three men ran off when they heard police sirens approaching and ran into the elderly woman who was walking with her husband on a nearby street.

Police say they only had a description for one of the men, who was wearing a black T-shirt when he was last seen.

Local police chief Andreas Huber said he believed the three were Bohemians fans, adding that a “large number of officers have been checking pubs in the city and we have several suspects who we are currently investigating”.

Police spokesman Harald Hoffmann said that there was a “strong possibility that alcohol played a significant role in what happened that night”.

If she dies, she dies.

Gaa?

:eek:

Typical bohs,
Have a go at OAP’s and then run away. some things never change.

Good result on the pitch tho. RBS had a host of chances to finish the game off and paid for their lacklustre attitude.
I can see them scoring in pigsboro so the bozo’s may have to score twice or else rely on peno’s . murphy is a good peno stopper as evidenced last night so that would be in their favour

Spectator killed at Tour de France: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/18072009/3/spectator-killed-tour-de-france.html

Police are looking for a bloke in a yellow jersey on a bike. He’s struck again.

Word is that 3 Austrians have been arrested for this…

Irish Times journalist Derek Scally’s interview on Drivetime yesterday is available online (listen here, it’s the very first item on the program: http://www.rte.ie/news/drivetime/ ). In it, he says that the police never claimed that their investigation was based solely on Bohemians fans, that they are not happy with coverage in the Press and that of the 30 people questioned about the incident, only three of them were Bohemians fans of whom only one was arrested. The other two were only taken in for questioning but none of the three were charged.

what the fuck has this to do with gaa fans,someone needs to slap the fuck outa this ncc cunt or at least keep his bullshit to 1 thread

ncc needs to worry more about issues closer to his own doorstep, I’ll put this up here for his benefit because he was probably at home with the childer tonight :rolleyes:

The tension is getting to the filth obviously :guns:

I’m sorry everyone but what happened this evening has to be highlighted. In front of the singing section of all places, I watched a young lad being kicked full force in the face while he was seated watching the match just in front of him! He then slump over, cracking his head on the concrete. The lad was unconscious, eyes open unblinking for 5 to 10 secs before I could get over to him. He slowly came round and was brought to the ambulance by the civil defence. What was the cause of such a horrendous attack, is unclear. The middle aged guy who did it went over to his kid who was standing up on the railings at the side of the pitch, said something to the kid, then turned around and took a flying kick at the young lad who didnt even see it coming. No matter what the cause, the result can’t be justified and sickens me to the stomach. A so called Hoop doing that to a fellow Hoop!! YOU’RE NO HOOP!! If you are reading this, though I seriously doubt it after the mentality shown, do everyone a favour and never darken Rovers door again!! All the efforts to bring in new fans and this is whats on offer. To those who are reading this, if you saw what happened I ask you to contact the club and if you can identify the individual on cctv please do so. I know there will be non-hoops reading this who might try make something out of this and to them I say “We Are Rovers” and we won’t let this kind of thing happen in our club! KOH

High jinks .

tell that to the young hoop who was in hospital getting a scan earlier on after being layed out on the deck with blood coming out of his mouth

nice place to bring your young ones to alright

High jinks will happen at LOI matches.

The dude who did it strolled out of the ground with his 3 kids in full view of the stewards seemingly

Cant expect stewards at SRFC games to be expected to steward their own fans. Tisnt danger money they’re on.

High jinks.

no doubt a certain person will be on here tomorrow sayin that he heard it was a dublin gaa fan,who did he fukin think he was tony soprano,was there no guards there

Kib does have a certain hatred for dublin gaa, that is true, but I dont believe he will blame them for this.

now mbb you know kib would not comment on the likes a this,its beneath him
