Shelbourne handed a punishment that hits innocent Galway United in the pocket

Shelbourne have been hit with an away fan ban for their trip to Galway United on Friday April 19, after an Independent Disciplinary Committee investigation into an incident last week in Drogheda.

Only, the decision of the Independent Disciplinary Committee arguably punishes their opponents next week more than it does Shels. No, instead of hitting the Gypsies in the pocket, the League penalised Drogheda United to an estimated tune of around €9,000 by barring Bohs fans from Weavers Park.Go back a couple of years to late 2022 and Shamrock Rovers fans let off fireworks in the RSC. The situation quickly got out of control and the pyros flew onto the pitch.

Presumably, if Bohs defender Cian Byrne was struck by a flare at Dalymount Park, or Dermot Broughton was officiating at Tolka Park when he was hit by a smoke bomb, it would have resulted in some form of home game punishment, such as a partial or full stadium closure.
