One thing did pi*s me off at the match :mad:
When the PA announcer was calling out the Ireland Team and everyone was cheering the names, when he called out Morrison this ignorant tosser beside me turns to me and says 'I wont cheer for that.......'. But 10 minutes later when Morrison scored he was jumping with joy! This behavour really annoys me
There is a picture of this guy posted on the site but I dont think I should say who he is!

two old boys (irish) had to be pulled apart in Joeys bar this morning, you would think these guys who be old enuf to have more sense.

Met a guy from the embassy at the airport and he said there was not a single arrest which is as it should be.
I heard from an isreali that there were two irish fans hauled into a the police station for a half an hour- There were in iran in the the last world cup play off. No charge were pressed against them

wonder was it the same guys? At least the media were kept out of it, the security in the bar kept it very low profile and the barman clearly felt that it was not representaive behaviour. I remember coming back from Finland (estonia game) and two guys (brothers) were fighting on the bus out from the terminal to the plane which meant we missed our connection in gatwick, jack asses cost me the price of a hotel room.

Bit embarassin when my bro tried to get back into the hotel room tho & he gets the night securo to open the door & theres us starkers, I had to tell him to fcuk off somewhere for a few more hours :mad: . I think he just lay outside laffin his hed off for a while along with 2 other Irish lads who were in the corridor at the time the time.

He's still an ar*ehole but IMO there's a BIG difference between hating the man because you think he's a sh*te footballer (e.g. Carnstein and Kilbane) and hating him because he's not one of the 'master' race.

in the room with one of the girls, then my mate burst through the door, absolutely ******ed with anoyther two!!! Funniest moment of the whole trip. israeli birds 10/10. the personalities, confidence, english and the most beautiful women i've ever seen!

Some kind of saint, Tom :)

As an Israeli girl I can say that the Israeli girls thought Irish men aren't too bad either. ;) It's the accent!

I'm new around here, but as an Irish fan in Israel I wanted to say a few things too... regardless of the match itself, which was the ugliest I've ever seen, I'm happy about the result, if only because I didn't have to betray any of my teams.

After almost 4 years without home games, it was wonderful for us to have a sports event with such great atmosphere, which you guys helped to create. Made me feel like I was back in Dublin again for couple of days.

I've seen the Irish fans in Dublin for the Gaelic football finals, which was awesome, and also had the experience of taking a ferry from Dublin to Liverpool with Irish fans to see some Premiere League and Champions League games in England, and I knew it would be a great experience to finally get to watch a live match of the Irish football team and not just on TV. Also, luckily, my job enabled me to speak to the Irish players, which was kinda cool.

And you definitely made many of us think of coming to the away game as well, even though it might be just a little bit expansive for us. also depends on the score tonight between France and Israel, and if in the last game I had hard time deciding who I want to win, no problems this time around. :)

I'm *still* singing "The Fields of Athenry". They played this song one too many times at the buzz stop. Oh, and I'm never drinking again, at least until tonight's match.

LOL I gave him the CD with Joxter Goes to Stuttgart. I was in Ireland right after the World Cup in 2002 and bought one of the compliations back then. Had it with me in Buzz stop so I gave it to the guy there. and he also played "Put 'em Under Pressure" for me because I LOVE that one.

One of the highlights of the weekend was in Buzz Stop where they showed Irelands games from World Cup 2002.
When it came to the closing minutes of the Germany game, we're 1-0 down, everyone went quiet. A few shouts went up, "get it up to Quinny", "there's time for a goal yet", "I can't see us getting anything out of this", "we can get something out of this."
Then the equalising goal came and the place went mental.
What a buzz! :D

LOL I remember watching that game at work back in 2002, I work for the sports department of the Israeli television, and we got clear feeds of the games, no commentary and stuff, so we were tons of people watching the game, and everyone were laughing at me for cheering Ireland while I was about to get a heart attack... with the equalising goal I basically jumped so high I knocked down an entire shelf with tapes on the heads of some of the Germany fans in the room.

When was that over the weekend? I can't remember it, for some reason many parts of the weekend are kinda blurry... :)

Oh, I heard everyone screaming towards the direction of the TV screens but didn't actually watch.

Well, no one was actually a fan of any team there, so they had to choose, and they found that liking Ireland was too weird for them. And gotta go with the Bonk about hating France way more than hating Germany. :) In fact, I personally hate them so much I didn't even bother to request my editors a ticket for the game. Gonna watch it from home, I have no desire of talking to the French players, which I probably would have had to if I went to the game.

Must say France has become one intolerent country. I was watching this programme last night on the BBC about the business regarding wearing headscarves by Muslim girls in school (this also includes Kippahs and gangstah-rap size crucifixes but not turbans). You may as well hand out application forms for Al Qaeda. The headmaster was hassling girls coming into his school because their bandanas (which they chose to wear as a form of compromise) saying it's the law. This is the country that gave us the French revolution, that strikes at the drop of a fart, has to have the CRS out nearly every day for 'demonstrations', and gave the world Jose Bose (??) who (rightly IMO) drove a bumper truck into his local McMurders. If this was Germany, I could understand this 'I am only following orders' b*llocks.

That principal should be ashamed of himself, the gutless sh*t. What made it worse was that he was one of the more liberal ones that allowed the bandana, FFS. I would have stood there and commented that it is a bit warm today and yes you should cover your skin from the sun and done Jack sh*te. :mad: Anyway: Rant over.

30/03/2005, 2:54 PM

What did the bone-head say?
Basically, he didn't want to come to Israel because of "the crimes of the Israeli goverment", while I disagree with his opinions but do believe that everyone are entitled of having their opinion, this is something you just don't say in this situation, it's just sports. and being actually willing to skip a match which is so important for your team just because you don't like Israel? that should tell something.

Anyway, they've gotten a very cold reception.
Barthez wrote a letter today to the ministery of tourism here, saying he apologizes, and that he will return to Israel because it's an amazing country (that's a quote!), but I think it's a little bit to late to fix the damage.

Personally I'm no lover of Sharon but I am probaly the only person on this thread that had been previously to Israel for an Ireland match and found it to be precisely what others have been saying here (although the ladies weren't as forward in 1984). I also learned through an workmate (from Natanya who hates Sharon more than I or Bathez ever could) that it's pointless arguing with most ordinary Israelis on domestic politics because it eventually sounds like you are having a go at the notion of a Jewish homeland (something which I support). And, likewise I wouldn't like it if he were to start giving his 2 cents on the O6C.

30/03/2005, 3:10 PM

Perhaps Barthez can go there next summer while we are in Germany because this French team (and I use that word in the loosest possible sense) is going nowhere.

I second that!

And Lopez, it is kind of pointless arguing with Israelis about it, for a very simple reason. Living it and looking at it from the outside will always be too different views that can't really meet. No way someone who doesn't live here can understand how we feel or vice versa. However, this is totally irrelevant for Sports, and Barthez annoyed us more by saying that because it's just sports, and not because of his actual words which really aren't any surprise for us.

NeilMcD

30/03/2005, 3:13 PM

I think that Bartaez is entitled to his view but if he does hold that view strongly he should not go. He has picked the worst of both worlds which is expressing the view and playing the game. He wants his cake and eat it. (what else would you do with a cake I am not sure). I think he is setting himself up for a bit of a reception tonight.

Oh why do the Israeli's hate the French more than the Germans.

we have to win the match in dublin to qualify
it is seems impossible (but in spite of the fact that greece won the euro champion) i guess everyting is possible
any way it is gonna be very tough game for both teams
i saw some reviews of irish fans after the game in israel, claiming ireland will travel in dublin....i don't think so
our first goal kipper expected to play in this game (he is wounded now) ,and he wont give you any presents like our second goal kipper gave you and france (i sincerely hope so...)

Yum! :D On topic now : :D We watched the israeli game in finnegan's in nuremburg(supposed to be munich, but change of plan) was good craic in there, drunk too much though! but nearly dropped my beer when israel scored at the end, i thought that would happen, the way the game was going.

But, at least Clinton Morrison scored for me in the first half like he said he would ;) Was really p1ssed off we did not keep 3 points, ah well, i am glad everyone had a good time, photos look great. Ok, have to sleep for an hour, flying to Belfast today, check-in @ 0600 :( yawn!!

Then there should be more debate about it within Israel, personally I don't believe you have to be "Living it and looking at it" to be able to comment on it. I hear that here about the north.
That would be like someone commenting negatively about old Yugoslavia, and someone replying, that you have to be "Living it and looking at it" or "No way someone who doesn't live here can understand how we feel"
It does not have to be Yugoslavia you can pick what area of conflict, even here !! If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, smells like a duck..then it must be a duck !! or would I need to touch it..Barthez's line would probably not one that I support. Politics and sport should be kept separate and should not be used to support a political end. Personally, every thread that contains some politics should be locked immediately and started on a separate forum somewhere else.

I was saying that everyone can comment on it, but the comments of people who look at it from the outside will always be different from the comments people who live it will have, that's why the arguing is always hopeless.

And how do you know there aren't arguing with Israelies?
