    Unfortunately booing is creeping into Irish sport alright. I remember the French kickers being booed in the inaugral rugby game in Croker. I fully support the punch the booer campaign.

    Just an idea - should we try arrange a " boards " night out after, maybe reserve somewhere? Seems to be a lot of people going, and it would be excellent if somewhere could be arranged, maybe even showing a replay of the event.
    I could look into it.....

    If we get a whole load of people on the punch the booer campaign, get it well advertised and make people aware of it in advance, it would really help a defence against an assault charge in court after you punch them.

    Booing is the new cheering. Mind you I was brought to a Wolves match last year and in a fluke result they got beaten 6-0 at home. (I am truly the kiss of death) The crowd applauded them off the pitch and sang their way through the last 20 minutes. It was great.

    Unfortunitley you can't stop the Booers, They are just idiots and There's something about this sport that attracts the mindless idiot who is intent on seeing two lads kill each other and they're the sort who boo for grappling/ground game.
    I've seen this type of idiot rush the ring, climb the side of the cage and even throw stuff into the cage and those things happened at seperate events around Ireland! So i too am strongly endorsing the 'P.T.B' campaign!

    I assume there will be an after party, shouldnt we all try and go there.....if not, then we should definitely do something.

    As far as Irish crowds at MMA events go....I was ringside for Rings with my sister and friend, and had to run from the arena because of the scumbags throwing coins from the balconies after the last fight didnt happen.

    Irish MMA has come along way since then!
    still some new fans that just come to see blood spilled, but a lot of fans understand the technicalitys of the sport now, spread the word to people you know going that booing is not wanted! word will spread fast.. cheering is what we want, even if its ole ole etc..

    'Rings' could have been the ruin of MMA in Ireland.

    It was destined for trouble after being billed as an Ireland -V- England contest, step up the Celtic wearing scumbag baying for English blood and you've got yourself a row.

    Of course when Jimmy Curran (r.i.p.) failed to come out for his fight that was the excuse the fvckers needed to showcase their coin throwing skills.
