Ah yes, the Oirland fan! Shake a Shamrock for Oirland!
I gave up my 320 mile round trip to Ireland matches after I witnessed Ireland Fans cheering for Man United players in the Opposition team at lansdowne Road.
"ah deadly buzz Anto i like to see de boyz in grean win like but i hope Christiano scores cause i'm United all the way wha"
Christ you should have been there when Ireland played manure in 1992. Majority of the crowd cheering on an english club over their OWN country. Shortly after I gave up going to lansdowne and have never gone back. These people are the enemy of the state. The nerve they have slagging off the EL without seeing the appalling hypocrisy of funding a foreign league:rolleyes:Quote:

Majority of Irish fans who follow Ireland are a joke. Anyone see that **** screaming at the tv camera saturday? Go back to your barstool you clueless clown.

the dutch fans in matching village people orange dungarees?
the list of questionable head/suit gear is endless when it comes to national teams
only the brazilians are excused from body painting activities - for obvious reasons
There's a lot of people in here are in danger of injury if they fall from their hiiiiiiiiiiigh horses. Bloody hell, the holier than thou attitude in here is sickening, although not at all unsurprising.
Difference is they support their domestic leagues. If our crowd did they could turn up in miley's dungarees:DQuote:

It just comes to you in the moment you realise that 90%
of the lepregoons dont have a clue about the game
Does that mean we won't see you at Windsor on Wednesday evening, either?Quote:

But I guess the same principle applies to the more "soberly" dressed fans, especially those who like to sneer at their fellow fans.

Agree on first count.Quote:

I don't think what you wear makes much of a difference. I know people who only go to International games but have a brilliant knowledge and understanding of the game. I also know people who go to English Premiership games and International games but don't understand tactics, can't read games and don't know how to rate players.
These are the people who will be first off the bandwagon.
i've been known to wear a leprechaun suit, does that mean I'm just softcore?
No, that means you're fetish! :DQuote:

It is by a poster called Lord Summerisle and is possible the best post i have ever read on a football forum,it's certainly the best post i've read,on any website,since the game on Saturday night. This certainly seems like the best thread to post it in
