Just watched the 'highlights' from last nights semi final with Coleraine at Solitude.What a disgrace this club Cliftonville are. Not only is one of the Coleraine cowardly punched in the head when he is trying to get down the tunnel ,but one of the stewards is wrestled to to the ground and punched, then kicked repeated on the head by a Cliftonville fan,then when he is caught the stewards are approached by a more sinister bunch and told to release the yob (no doubt threatened with the 'boys' up the road) Luckily the Coleraine fans didnt decide to join in and showed great restraint.Cliftonville fans were clearly intent on running up to the Coleraine end to provoke the other fans mainly because of their religion in my opinion.Badly run club,awful fans,bad sports,kick them out of the league I say .
No doubt the Cliftonville fans will say nothing but have in the past been very vocal about Tully at Windsor Park etc years ago.
Imagine if this happned against the Glens or Blues at Solitude,clearly Cliftonville have no control inside or outside their ground ,close it down!
Cliftonville -A Disgrace

I was surprised that this happened as reds fans have been well behaved,like most local clubs fans.
This happens when my club Linfield played the Glens in the past,but last night was nasty.If Coleraine fans got involved the whole thing could have gone off,inside and outside.
Hope the reds nutters who attacked players and stewards get punished.

2 Cliftonville fans have given me 1 star as they cant handle the truth or even condemn 'their support' -lol

Their next move is to report the article to the mods no doubt as again they cant handle the truth when it comes to their support

Now Mick
just because you support Donegal celtic its clouding your judgement and shouldnt be so harsh on Cliftonville
Thought that their stewards were superb and one or two took a real battering until the "Boys"stepped in
Every time has its lowlife, mine included
Mind you Imagine if that had been the Blues involved in that
The even handed Lord mayor of Belfast would have been on the phone to the UN and Amnesty International

To think them lot call DC a pub team,poorly run etc.
If they were to be in the running for the league come March their support would be a nightmare at away matches in places like Ballymena,Coleraine,Portadown etc. Im just glad the bad ones from around here decide to support Cliftonville and not the mighty DC. Hopefully Linfield can stop them winning the league

Oran Kearney and the coleraine player involved have went on tv to say the Cliftonville stewards/security were nothing but helpful, and i have to say having been to Solitude many times that i was surprised when i heard about the attack.
They play each other again at the weekend at Solitude again it will be interesting to see what develops and weather the Coleraine boys travel in force but im sure the cops will be on top of it either way after the other night.

How are Cliftonville a disgrace? The complete and utter toilets who shamed the club are a disgrace.
I mentioned to POEB last week that I seen a few faces at the CAS final that I hadn't seen at Solitude in my puff. My brother tells me this was the case the other night. Saturdays have been fine. I hope the club ban anyone involved the other night for life. They are not wanted. They are bandwagon jumping due to the unbeaten run.
Btw Mick, drop the DC supporter charade, your mask has slipped more times that Iris' kecks.

Have to agree with Roberto, you can''t label an entire club because of a few bigots............
Pity Spanglers ain't on here to give the Cliftonville "fan" an excuse.....................

I recall a Cliftonville "fan" was convicted of sectarian abuse at Coleraine a few years ago...............
Maybe there is underlying tensions.............
