Say hello to the Cardiff and Dutch who are over with Rovers NCC, not to mention the 3 poor unfortunate Rovers who were arrested after the Cliftonville game last Saturday, a game they were attending instead of going to the Sligo-Rovers game in Sligo. Here is what some people on the Irish League forum had to say about the Rovers fans who went up to Belfast for the day:
All true mate property and cars damaged in the village by C’ville and their rent-a-mob from Dublin,also trouble at W’spoon’s and arrests made in Queen St
Where’s all the media coverage about this…
****ing Disgrace

Didn’t hear about any trouble until I read this thread. I know Rovers fans were at the game as I was slegging them that the Bohs are the only team in Dublin. They seemed friendly enough though, but if these rumours are to be believed then they are not welcome at Reds matches in the future.
It’s hardly the first time that crowd have been involved in similar incidents.

Sorry to hear there was trouble…hate to hear of any trouble after games involving ANY fans…as many have said though it’s not the first time Shamrock Rvrs have been involved in trouble up here and in ROI…if it had been Glentoran or Linfield fans it would have been headline news with Mr Nolan getting sexually excited waiting for his next radio show.

I was one of the last ones out of Winsdor yesterday, and the Boucher Rd was sealed off with a line of coppers.
Don’t know if any trouble did happen, but I personally can’t stand those Shamrock Rovers b*****ds anyway, and let a couple of them know it yesterday before the match in the bar up the Boucher Road.

A quick guess would be to act the fen*an f**wit up North.
There is very little love for them among Reds.

There’s photograph’s taken of them at Glenmachen St and the same one’s who started outside W’spoons.

That does not deflect from the point - there is a “love in” between sections of the Cliftonville support and Shamrock Rovers Ultras.
This includes prominent Reds fans.
This flies in the face of Belfast Casual’s earlier comments:
“There is very little love for them among Reds”
On the contrary, it seems they are welcomed by Reds men.

I’m no supporter of Rovers myself. I follow Dundalks fortunes.
I’m pretty sure that you know that they don’t, and that you know the exact reason why some - if not most - of the Shamrock Rovers Ultras attach themselves to Cliftonville.
Your disingenuity and attempts at deflection, as ever, do you and your club no credit.

It is a matter of fact that Rovers fans attending Cliftonville games have been involved in trouble when doing so. This is accepted by some of your own supporters who have therefore no time for Rovers. On the very few occasions when a few Drogheda supporters attended our games there is no history of such things happening, or indeed of there being any trouble on the few occasions that Linfield have been down there. But continue to deny and deflect Mr P, with a visit to Drogheda being a prime example of that I suppose.

Any matches that Rovers have played with the Drogs, there is always a Cliftonville banner at them…So BC is wrong to say what he did…
Actually dont have a problem with that, but of all the clubs down South Rovers fans cause trouble wherever they go, and fans of other clubs down there will tell you the same…
So its no surprise that they would be involved in a spot of bother after the game on Saturday…
