I read about this on the IGB website. I hope they catch the fuc*ers responsible.

Dan I know what you mean my friend and it's shocked the whole of Ireland how they've suddenly started passing to each other.

Word is that Twigg, Bradley and Chambers are helping the police with their enquiries Laugh

I remember this was common in England back in the late 80's early 90's. If the fav wasn't leading at the last bend throw a teddy or a dead hare on to the track and run out the gate. Surprised it hasn't happened more often because when you think about it who's going to run after you?. It has a similarity to the "power cuts" at premiership matches a while back if the desired results of the triads wasn't looking likely!!!

Tickite you are absolutely right my friend.

Many times I've been in the away end at the Tallaght and after 20 minutes guess what?? ...... The floodlights go off!

Word is they pull the plug so that the home support don't have to endure any more of the rubbish being served up by their team Laugh

Jesus soldieroffortune can you not see that it is a serious thread and your comments are not being entertained. Quite rightly you have been asked to start a new thread.

That behaviour in Harolds Cross is a disgrace and they should never be allowed back into a greyhound stadium.

Any person connected with the incident should get the boot for good.

this is the sinister side of things creeping into sport . looks as if hx security will have to be tightened up to prevent such happenings recurring .

I was working at Wembley in the early 90s when this happened, several large bets mostly in long distance open races  with a short priced one were affected over a period of around two years.

Think they got caught though..........
