Unsavoury scenes.

Bohemians took on Schalke 04 in a friendly at Dalymount Park earlier today, winning 3-2 against the Bundesliga 2 side.

Dawson Devoy, Adam McDonnell and John Mountney got the goals for the Gypsies.

However, the game was marred by violent scenes in Dublin, with Schalke ultras out in force and seen pushing over a kicking a photographer in the city centre.

Photographer Carly Clarke shared the footage on X, with the caption: “Today in Dublin, I went to photograph what I thought was a parade. They grabbed my camera & pushed Steve over. They then kicked him in the head, unable to get up they continued to kick him. They were Schalke football hooligans. I’m so appalled & disgusted!!”

Bohs photographer, Darren O’Hanlon, who was working at the game, shared footage of being at spat at by a Schalke supporter on his Instagram story.
