Damien Duff vows to help fan who threw smoke bomb with ban imminent

David Sneyd LET’S JUST GET the ‘any other business’ section of Damien Duff ’s media engagement out of the way first.

It is a game that grabbed headlines after a young supporter in the away end threw a smoke bomb at the linesman. A ban on supporters travelling to their away game against Galway United is now likely to be confirmed later today given the precedent set for similar incidents involving Drogheda last season and Bohemians fans earlier in this campaign.

“I’ve obviously calmed down. It was a horrible sight. I was angry, embarrassed as everyone was at the club. It hurt the fans as well, whether they found the person or what. Again on me, angry and emotional and probably quick to slaughter the person. “I’m no angel, I have made loads of mistakes in my life. I’m certainly no angel and I have said the wrong thing probably many things, as you would agree with that, and done the wrong thing. I’m no angel.
