    Last time crowd trouble at GAA match

    I'm struggling to remember when there has been lots of (Any) trouble at one but would appreciate any help.

    There was a bit of a dust up at a Tipp/Clare U-21 game a few years back in the stand.
    But the stolen sheep was returned to the Tipp fans, and it sorted itself out.

    St. Brendans Killarney and the Green Tralee schools game at Austin Stack Park, Tralee, earlier in the year ended in a big punch-up including a good number who joined in from the stands!

    Isn't the lack of crowd trouble due to the widespread snorting of cocaine on the hill?

    Do the GAA hand it out free as a crowd control measure?

    Bit of a melee on Hill 16 for 1989 SFC semi final between Cork and Dublin -it involved Gardai clearing a large swathe of the hill after bottles were thrown at them.

    It was returned to its rightful position.
    I wont elaborate on what that particular position, but I think you can join the dots.......

    RoC and Sheep........wasn't there allegations (unsubstaniated as the sheep was not talking) about a relationship there going back to prior to the election? However, it would not explain RoC's "performance" in the election as if all the South Tipp sheepshaggers voted for him he would have got close to 2 quotas!!
