Noone's mentioned the 'r' word
The sickest chant from an Irish crowd - although to my eternal shame I joined in and thought it was hilariously funny at the time - was at the under-21 game in Portsmouth 1985. Paul Parker, who wasn't having the best of games, was getting untold abuse from the Irish support. Then a group broke into 'Trigger, trigger: Shoot that ******.' The more it happened, the more people joined in and the more Parker went to pieces. In the end he was prematurely subbed.
It is probably the most shameful incident I've been involved in following the Irish team. If there is a priest on this site, I could do with some absolution.:(
