    Oh you laugh, one of them was a good friend of mine, his parents felt there would be a lot of trouble after the games, with fighting drinking noise etc and if it eventually went ahead they wouldn't be able to sell up so out of fear as soon as part of it went up and it looked like the local community might lose the battle they up and left and another neighbour joined them.

    The people who live near watergate/oldbawn/tymon did not want it built simple as. i sort of know, i lived there for 25 years..

    I


    I live fairly close by and my mother is one of the organisers of the local residents assoc. There hasnt been so much as a word mentioned among them either way on the stadium issue. Anyone I know is in favour. That includes people from Tallaght, Clondalkin and as far down as Blessington.

    Unless theres another satdium I'm unaware of.

    Lets be realistic, theres more people spilling out of the clubs and pubs (mostly drunk) on the weekends in the area than there will be from a Rovers match on a Fri night.

    so why are you spreading mistruths, and huge ones at that, that people went to the hassle of moving house because the community was getting a facility?

    of course it is. one that was totally missed in the thousands of column inches written on the subject.

    no point arguing with you any further. I think its clear from ste and the fact that there was no resistance outside the GAA to the hoops that you are at best stretching the truth

    Your not seeing it from their point of view.

    this was a couple coming close to retirement age after living in a very quiet part of old bawn for a number of years, they were afraid if the staduim was built and there was holligans kicking the bollox out of each other every weekend full off drink....not 10/20 coming out of a pub as they see it thousands of people coming into an area that was known for been very quiet that it might effect the price of the house or even been able to sell it.

    can you understand it?

    can you see how this might possibly enter someones head?

    come on rattle that brain for a min.

    'a couple'? earlier it was a mass exodus.

    stretching the truth.

    we could go on all night. have you anything to say about the court case?

    No i said a number, and this is the one i know most about as it was a friend of mine, their neighbours quickly followed suit for the same reasons

    no one mentioned mass exodus now i know it's hard for you but stop with the moronics.

    'moronics' from you is hard to take

    ntlbell you are digging a hole for yourself. and i can see why the Rovers fans in this thread are annoyed at your nonsensical ramblings.

    my guess is your a bit young so i am trying to keep everything simple for you

    can you understand the following...

    "this was a couple coming close to retirement age after living in a very quiet part of old bawn for a number of years, they were afraid if the staduim was built and there was holligans kicking the bollox out of each other every weekend full off drink....not 10/20 coming out of a pub as they see it thousands of people coming into an area that was known for been very quiet that it might effect the price of the house or even been able to sell it."

    bingo!

    stop the press. bohs fan tries to kill two birds with one lie, deflect attention from the fact that they have the hoolie reputation by trying to kid on even the thought of us made grannies have to move house and try and invent a dynamic in the local community opposing Rovers getting into their home.

    its a poor attempt, but he is sticking with it god bless his little cotton black and tan socks

    I'm not a 10yr old child.

    What has "hoolie" reputations got to do with this issue?

    I'll ask once more it does seem to be REALLY difficult for you come on, you can do this, you can even ask your daddy for help.

    is this possible, the thought process? this could never enter someones mind?

    no I'm a Shels fan. nothing to do with that. but you can't just go around making ridiculous claims like that, with nothing to back them up bar sob stories that you've heard from 1 or 2friends, that you can't even prove.

    How is it a ridiclous claim?

    Sorry, What would you like me to do, interview them and put it on a website so i can give you a link?

    god forbid someone should post anything on boards without hard facts.

    When Bohs were looking to move to beyond Castleknock the nimbys were out in force so would be surprised if there was no element of that whatsoever in Tallaght. No Thomas Davis members living in the area? Guessing they would have objected.

    its been fairly well established that the rank and file bigots have no major issue with us moving in, there is a cabal high in TD who are taking this case. No vote was taken in TD as to whether they should go down this route. As I said, no-one objected during public consultation.

    Besides, there is a fundamental difference between local concerns and claiming that scores of people moved house.

    and to not see why people are scoffing at his claims is the icing on the black and tan cake.

    can we move on from this tangent and not humour him anymore?

    can you show me where i said scores of people moved house?

    can you answer the above question that I asked you twice or is your little rovers brain too small to put one together?

    Ste Kelly said he hadn't heard of any complaints. that's fine.

    someone else said there's no hard facts.

    You're also assuming it's because of SHAMROCK ROVERS.

    It's not, what team it was made not one blind bit of difference.

    Why would someone who gave 8/9 years of their life to Tallaght Town FC, who lived in Tallaght for 25 years, who wants to see Rovers get their staduim, tell this fib?

    you're not making a blind bit of sense.

    You have stated your case, no-one believes you. Trying to question posters intellegence doesnt lend credibility to your position.

    We heard you the first time. No need to keep repeating yourself, let it go.
