    a lot of the fans are complete bandwagoners.less than 20,000 at the aviva for a game and there are 100000 in France. Best fans in the world more like best drunks in the world.

    1. Yep

      So you would prefer if only 20,000 thousand traveled with them? Then it’s all just purely about the sport? Yeah?

      1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

        Or an Irish man nicked his missus

        That was a bit ‘below the belt’ Joe…
        …what makes you think I’m Irish?

      Maybe they weren’t at the aviva for an €75 meaningless friendly in may because they were saving for the tournament in France you twit.

    3. Spaghetti Hoop

      Ah ding dong, that is a cruel surmise. The Irish fans reached every feed all over the world; so much so that people didn’t even care about the Republic of Ireland’s placings in the tournament – they just watched the fans and their good-hearted antics as an antidote to the violence in Marseile and Nice. We jumped on a bandwagon for a fortnight and supported a sport some of us care less about; but I now know Robbie Brady is a hero and up there with Haughton. Back to the GAA for me, but don’t be such a curmodgeon; sport=fun.

      Ye, you have a point… but the tickets were not cheap in the throws of a recession.

      Unfortunately, most of the big money from aspiring upper classes is spent on Rugby and Golfing events etc before local club footy or the Irish international soccer team.

      Either way, it’s good to see half the country happy and all the great support for the team and even better to see a performance worth shouting about…

      listen it’s the same in every sport. Look at Munster when they were winning, packed to the rafters for every match, now tickets freely available, Leinster rugby attendances have dwindled too since they started to underperform in European competition relative to previous years.
      The thing is that winning or well performing teams attract fans. Who would have ever thought that you would see kids with Man City tops at football training, and you know what good luck to them enjoy it while it lasts.
      The Euros have been great and have given us all something to be proud of both on and off the pitch!
      Now where can I get an Iceland jersey?

    1. Sheik Yahbouti

      Oh, but they are, Bague. Beaten by a nation of only 320,000 people, who have been mocked and vilified on this forum – and others – for reasons unconnected with football. Suck it up, forelock tuggers.

      1. :-Joe

        Why would anyone slag off IcELAND ?

        A bloody good team that could teach us a few things…

        We should adopt the the Lasse & Conte type system… would suit us perfectly…

        :-J

        1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

          ‘Lasse & Conte’…oh yeah, I remember them.
          They were on the telly, back when a TV could fit in your living room and were made out of black and white.
          A bit ‘avant garde’ for it’s day, but sure what wasn’t back then, eh?
          Happy daze.

          No, hang on a minute…I’m thinking of The Lucy Show

          1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

            Dick Van Dyke was in that show too, alongside Lucille Ball.

            I used to think those names were funny when I was a kid.
            Now I think they’re hilarious.

            (I’m not making any of this up…all verifiable facts. No messing.)
