SHAMROCK ROVERS HAVE been fined €21,875 by Uefa for incidents that occurred in the closing stages of their Champions League qualifier against Ludogorets last month.
The Hoops have been hit with a fine of €16,875 for the throwing of objects, with another €5,000 handed down for an incursion onto the field of play. Rovers were knocked out 4-2 on aggregate by the Bulgarian champions, though led the second leg at Tallaght Stadium 2-0 before Ludogorets assured their progress with a goal in stoppage time.
Goalkeeper Sergio Padt celebrated that goal front of the Rovers fans in the South Stand, and a number of items were thrown onto the pitch, one of which was thrown back into the crowd by a Ludogorets defender. A Rovers fan then attempted to get onto the pitch to confront Padt, but was led away by stewards.
Elsewhere, Derry City have been fined €8,500 for an incursion onto the field of play and the lighting of fireworks in their defeat away to Riga in the Europa Conference League.
Motherwell have been fined €3,000 for throwing objects during their Conference League defeat at home to Sligo Rovers, and the Scottish club were also warned over two separate infrastructure issues, related to minimum medical requirements and the number of seated toilets in the stadium.
Finally, Matic Marusko of Mura has been banned for three Uefa club games for the incident in which he received red card for a clash with Pat’s Chris Forrester, while the club were also fined €3,500 for improper conduct.
Come on Cork, sent the Bitter boys home empty handed
@Andrew Cosgrave: How’s that big Cork bandwagon going for ya?
@John McNamara: Anyone but the Bitter boys John
@Andrew Cosgrave: ye were bitter in 2013 buddy and havent been heard since, then ye come out of the woodwork when ye win a few games
@John McNamara: I’m a Limerick man John, plenty of rivalry there between Clare and us.
@Andrew Cosgrave: haha Limerick hurling??? Laughable!
@John McNamara: Ye, ye, ye, ye and ducking ye.
@John McNamara: I would say enjoy it John but you lot were soundly beaten today. All talk of big balls with no substance. Maybe poor auld Davey wasn’t holding back these players after all, maybe they just ain’t good enough to consistently contest. Clare’s Munster record is atrocious in fairness, even ‘laughable’ Limerick have a way richer recent Munster history than the world beating Bitter boys.
@Andrew Cosgrave: no doubt Cork were the better team and they deserved it, Clare had too many individuals…..but do not ever praise Davy, that man was a drain on the entire county, nobody realises what he is like until he is over the county team. Clare players are more than good enough to contest, they just need to be let play with their instincts. Limerick on the other hand, I’d say an u8 team would beat that gaggle of geese
Following the live blog in Romania. Rebels Abu
@Anthony P: multmesc
Poor quality game but Cork are slightly better team so far and the defence are holding up ok.Ref has given clare one or two really handy ones and very little in the peanlty could possibly be a free out for overplaying.RTE panelists are a joke its all what Clare can do to win, two teams their lads.
I hope clare lose this and wexford draw them in 1/4 final.
@David Higginbotham: my bad don’t think losers of munster and leinster can meet at that stage .
Poor match so far
Every game I watched in the Munster championship has been enthralling. Outstanding hurling, especially from Cork. Why are there no black or Muslin hurling players?
Is Nash knackered?
Now Kevin, call it as it is ör we will…..l am Sirian sorry serious…
Clare are woeful
