Oh yes that reminds me. I was away on holiday for two weeks so didnt get all the european results. How much did dunfermline win by against that Icelandic crowd They must have won by a fair old whack as shels only got through on away goals. Shame on shels - what a terrible embarrasement for the whole league. Reading your postings and learning about the scottish league from you they must have won by about 24-Nil. I do hope those Icelandics werent too embarressed going back to their village!

Highly unfair, I used to have one with the Arsenal badge in the centre brought everywhere, I am proud to be London Irish thats my upbringing and having that flag was something representitive of me. The Chelsea (much as I dislike the club) is one brought to many Ireland games by people of the same heritage. (another POB rant about second geners :rolleyes: :D )

IMHO, there's something wrong with anything written on the tricolour, but that's probably another argument.
Seriously as a nation we've f*ck all respect for our property, counrtyside and symbols, butI'll pull back before I launch into an all encompassing rant ranging from the rubbish on Patrick street to people dragging the flag on the ground.

If you can't accept 2nd/3rd/4th etc generation fans following Ireland and showing their club identities you are missing something. So what gives you the right to tear down tricolours with British clubs written on them, just shows the Ar5ehole you are............................................... ......
have enocountered a few idiots following Ireland over the years but none like you yet ;)

Sorry there headhunter faux pas on my part forgot to put in the exclamation points at the end there and the KOH.

I still think tricolours defaced with english clubs is wrong. And I'm not the only one. So anybody who disagrees with you is an ar5ehole?! Get over yourself.

Go off and have some Bishops Finger before you keel over. And for the record some of the 2nd/3rd/4th generation fans that I've met are more real fans than the ones born here. But then what do I know? I'm an ar5ehole!!! ;)

never personally met these so called Ireland fans on my travels to Dublin and worldwide following Ireland who disagree with club teams on the tricolour
You have actually met 2ND/3RD/4TH etc GEN Ireland supporters do you ask them 1st if they support an English club before engaging them in conversation

Mmm ok slowly re read my last post. If you cant I said ENGLISH clubs on the tricolour.

And yeah I do. That's what I say instead of hello, hi, or how's it going!! Well of course they support english clubs it's where they live.

Nice to see you cant disagree with someone without calling them names. You'll go a long way. :rolleyes:

I'm actually from that delightful new town to the east of Chesham, which some people mistake as being the setting for the film 'The Martins' starring Lee Evans and Kathy Burke.

How can you support a team based on standard? If Man U 'do a Leeds' will the people who support them based on the football they play start supporting Man U? If standard was the issue, Ireland would be flooded with La Liga shirts and Celtic wouldn't even get a mention. It's all about the exposure, there's constant EPL and SPL all over the TV and people start supporting these teams before they know anything else.

Anyway, the fun of being a football fan has **** all to do with standard of play, it's all about the rivalrys and the will to see your own team do well. Standard of play doesn't come into it, you can get exciting matches at any standard and equally so you can get boring matches at any standard too (Just watch the Juve Milan champions league final). I refuse to believe anyone has actively decided to support a team based entirely on the standard of football they play, if they did they'd have to be switching teams every few seasons.

My sister is a big pool fan and goes to a lot of the games so I go with her, I'm a Bohs fan so she comes to the games with me. I think there is room for both. They don't really clash in my book. EL is a summer league and games are mostly played on a friday and Premier League is mostly Saturday or Sunday. I reckon I've been to more Liverpool games than a lot of Irish people who claim to be pool fans yet I wouldn't dare call myself a Liverpool supporter as I don't go to see them a lot in a year. My point being is that you can do both, just like you can support both GAA and football or Rugby.
