Le boulevard de Clichy emporté par la folie irlandaise (Le Parisian)
Thanks Fluffybiscuits
its a mess…
Wow, its like the Barge times trois
But I saw a video of some Irish fans cleaning up so I assumed they were all cleaning up…
The Irish.
A great bunch of litter louts
Clown.
Wow, it’s almost like there’s no bins!
Of course. The old ” there’s no bins” idiots lament.
ya cant say “Of course. The old ‘there’s no bins’ idiots lament.” without suggesting an alternative. i was there and any bins were full with rubbish growin over them. they shouldve had skips or something.
I can’t? Oh sorry.
The backlash begins.
England and Russian fans meet again at Euro 2016.
Liberty Square on match day
With some trees
Meh
Oh fupp off, it’s like this in EVERY fanzone and most areas of cities where games take place.
People are literally getting erections at the though of being the first to start the backlash
I’m sure every knicker scum bag of dung around the country appreciates your support
Thats no way to talk about yer ma
Yer Granny is so yer ma
Well I certainly don’t want to be part of any backlash and I think it’s wonderful that people are clearly having a good time and being genial and sociable, but it would be nice to see a bit more respect for the hosts, I think. In fairness, there is no call to create that sheer volume of filth for other people to clean up. It’s not right.
It’s not being bellicose, aggressive, taunting beggars, rioting, destroying property, putting people into comas or anything appalling like that, but better than that is setting the bar pretty low. In that context, it’s not too difficult to be the best supporters.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some in classic Parisian attire and cleaned it up, not for the sake of cleaning…for the sake of youtube hits. The best fans in the world? …goddamn exhibitionists!
*if some Irish fans arrived in classic Parisian attire
fanzones generally have bars and you cant sneak drink in.
depends, was at the Europa League final recently and the fanzone was a public square with thousands drinking cans. No entrance gates at all
Knackers.
You gobspoo
The truth hurts
The greatest fans in the world at congratulating ourselves for being the greatest fans in the world. Fair play to us
Relax lads it’s just the Dubliners making themselves feel at home.
Reminiscent of the Tullamore show. Walk past bins and chuck on ground.
It’s a lot cleaner than when I was there on Monday night.
I had Google translate the article. It was about how loud and in the way the Irish were. Not a single “greatest fans in the world” comment.
rivers of urine
Angela Merkel thinks we’re knackers
D Boy, a bit of a knacker yourself I’d say.
“My daughter could not give me rides in front of my building,” Google translate
A minor point: there’s a typo in the name of the newspaper in your link. It’s called “Le Parisien”. For those who don’t read French, Lara Marlowe had an article based very closely on this piece in yesterday’s Irish Times. I’d provide a link but I’m useless at technology.
Griezmann’s missus!! ….
its grand. everythings grand. loads of fans went over, are having a great time. not harming anyone. therell always be people to shout down the positive comments. as for the article, it says the fans were noisy and got in the way .. its the euros .. a massive competition, with thousands of fans. where are they meant to go? a field? its a fuppin fanzone, steer clear if you dont wanna wade through thousands of fans. with every positive person theres one whiner.
Did France not bid for the Euros? Doe it not bring in MASSIVE money.
France were not prepared for the Euros. This is another example of it. Let alone not having bins, but not having areas for people to go other then the middle of the streets to drink, blocking cars etc.
They can’t expect people to all act like saints, especially not drunk people. You need to channel crows so they CAN only act respectful.
Crows? I saw lots of pigeons on the boulevard clichy.
I am CLEARLY trying to channel the Crows. Keep your pigeons.
You’re raven
I’m not in love with current celebration of binge drinking and I’ve seen some of the fans here being a real nuisance, endangering themselves and others. On balance though they’ve been a real example of absolute best behaviour in the joy they’ve been sharing with opposition fans. And the binmen are on strike in Paris.
I was at the Sweden game and I saw no aggressive or threatening behaviour from any of the Irish or indeed the other fans during my 3 days in Paris. it was a wonderful carnival atmosphere. The police were very pleasant to all Irish fans, laughing and joking with them. STAND UP FOR THE BOYS IN GREEN.
Oh come on. How much damage does an empty can on the ground do? Fup all. In terms of fans the Irish may drink a hell of a lot, but they also tend not to fight, not damage property, not act the maggot like the English and Russian fans seem to be doing at every opportunity. The amount of money spent in that area versus the cost of cleanup is a massive positive to the locals and there’s nothing there that can’t be fixed in an afternoon. I’m not suggesting that Irish fans should be littering, but if that’s we’re guilt of then it’s the least of the worries for hte French. If they’re bemoaning the fact hte bin men are on strike then maybe they might look at the cash bulging from their tills and band together to tidy the place up themselves.

Exactly!!
Part and parcel of hosting a major event. O’Connell St after St. Patrick’s looks like a warzone A few hours later with plenty of man and machine power and it’s good as new. The cost of the cleanup is dwarfed by the benefits such an event has for the local economy.
Nothing to see here.
