Rangers v Celtic

I do know what he looks like though. To be fair, I thought I did pretty well compared to the last ones with panda bears or snowmen or whatever the **** it was.

 

Berz would get slaughtered in Dundalk m9.

 

We don't get slaughtered anywhere, we do the slaughtering.

 

Yous got annihilated when yous went to Dublin in the 80s So much so that berz still recount with horror their experiences. Next time yous drew an irish side yous cried to get it moved to England

And Dundalk is different gravy altogether.

 

We had a 6 seater plane chartered from Campbeltown for the Shelbourne game. I was gutted it was moved to Tranmere. At the game in Tranmere the cops came into the pub on horseback. ****s lobbing bottles at them. All rather bizarre.

 

Dundalk will be put out of Europe by Slovan Bratislava.

 

Correct

But let us have our sectarian bunfight Moses

 

We’ve never been slaughtered yet!

We are not Celtic fans ffs (aka The Punchbags of Europe)

“Please don’t hit me mr foreign football fan,to be sure, we’ve brought our own blooming bin bags, fiddle dee dee.”

 

We are the people ffs

Remember that

 

Moses Muldoon in the house! Are you joining our Fantasy Football league?

 

Don't even remember that though I didn't live in Dublin at the time,

Shelbourne v Rangers, 1998

Fears that Rangers supporters would wreck the gaff as soon as they touched down on Irish soil had led Shelbourne to relinquish home advantage. Bizarrely, they had to play their home leg in Prenton Park.

The match is only remembered now for the surreal opening when Shels went 2-0 ahead. Early in the second half, Pat Morley dinked the keeper and made it 3-0. Very rarely is the rest of the game even shown.

Quite right too. Rangers re-gathered themselves and won 5-3. They won 2-0 in Ibrox.

Many of the Shels fans missed the early burst. The police had held them back for their own safety as they sorted what Karl McGinnity described as "a cantankerous horde" of Rangers fans.

Mark Rutherford blasted home in one of his final games for Shelbourne. New manager, the grizzled veteran Dermot Keely told that he'd no place for him.

 

There you go. The Shelbourne fans shat their already soiled pants.

 

Imagine getting a game moved to another country cos yer fans are feart

 

My names actually Moses O Dubhagain. what is your fantasy league all about then?

Oh look, it's all the Muldoons.

It was the most toxic atmosphere at a game I have ever witnessed. Some Rangers hating scumbag split my ear open open with a bottle while I was buying a programme pre-match and that set the tone for the rest of the evening.

The match itself was a blur with things kicking off at regular intervals throughout the 90 minutes.
It was during the miners strike and the Garda had obviously been watching the news coverage. Upon leaving the ground we were 'kettled' as they banged their truncheons on their shields, closed in and let fly. There was blood pouring everywhere as fans made a run for the safety of their buses.

It didn't end there. As on the way down, the buses had to go through 'bandit country' on the return journey and there was barely a bus window intact by the time we got back to Larne for the ferry, with talk of some having petrol bombs thrown at them also.

In Larne, there was constant shuttle service of ambulances taking the wounded for medical attention upon arrival.

Nowadays there would be questions asked in Parliament and much hand wringing. Those were different times. It featured in the media for a day or two afterwards (blaming the big, bad Gers fans, of course) and then it was quietly forgotten, other than by those who were there.


Guy seems like he's almost crying 35 years later
