O'sheaser surely? Plays on the irish of sheazer but uses the r and s of the german word.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Remember they did it when I went to see Ireland in Stuttgart a while back. I was unfortunately opposite side of the stadium to the Irish fans, deep in with loads of grumpy Germans who just couldn't get it why the Irish fans didnt join in when they did the wave. I feel the Germans fans are a bit like Kerry supporters, annoying!
I thought the received wisdom about Mexican waves is that they're only done when there's nothing interesting happening on the pitch, or else the people in the crowd aren't that interested in football to begin with.

DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
I met a load of germans after that game who said they were sitting beside a grumpy Irishman, who kept giving out about German barstoolers.Remember they did it when I went to see Ireland in Stuttgart a while back.

Waves in Germany will always remind me of two glorious moments: Ronnie Whelan against the Bolsheviks in 1988 (right in the middle of a wave) and JO'S in 2014 shortly after the German fans had finished entertaining themselves.
By the way, did anyone else notice the German flag bearers coming on just behind the goals with 5 minutes to go, all ready to wave their big flags? Tempt the fates if you dare!! I assume they didn't wave them in the end because everything is a blur after that.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

On the train there was a bilingual German physicist, his science nerd pals, and an Oregonian (possibly from Portland). The American was noting how the Irish were off-key - polite for bollick-drunk, while the Germans were very quiet. The scholar replied that Germany were very confident, as they were World Champions. Next thing, this absolute behemoth - like the Humungus from the Road Warrior - turned around and in broken English, still better than Roscommon English mind, tells the American it's nothing to do with that, it's because all the idiots support Germany, and all the fans support their club. It was funny but slightly ott I thought.
In the part of the ground I was sitting - thanks again ArdeeBhoy - I was hoping their might be a bit of atmosphere, but it was horrible. Very comparible to when we moved to Croker. Now I think I might have been in sponsors area, or an equivalent, but really the match seemed of little consequence to the majority. I found my seat, which was occupied by two gents, and when I showed them my ticket, they just turned, pointed to a whole empty row, and said " to sit; nobody cares!" It was surreal, and got even worse during the game when they all started going out for beer! I couldn't believe it. At one point just before they scored the same chunker went out for the second time for food in the second half, and as he was leaving, I couldn't help myself as I'd been speaking in pidgeon German all afternoon, I said simply this is a football match not a concert, and everyone laughed and I got a pat on the back. That should have been a slap in the head, but really the support around me was shocking. There was 4 out of about 50 that seemed interested.
I was really disappointed with the German fans, considering how excellent they've been in Dublin, and they were ok in Stuttgart too back in 06.
When the wave went up, I was like you Stuttgart, I felt the arrogance and hoped for the best.
Yes I noticed that, and I thought it was taking a liberty. It'll backfire on Mourinho soon too...

Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
The Irish fans started the wave when they got up to leave.
Would have been great if the German coach had went to shake Roy's hand after the goal before disappearing down the tunnel.Tbf, some of the Irish near me, tried to join in...

(Only read your comment after I posted my last comment by the way!).
They have shaked hands before the game already.

So what is that, Germans rooting against Germany?
This one is even better from Balls.ie
Brilliant footage. Never tire of seeing that goal!
I thought the German fans were awful back in 06 (Stuttgart) as well. It was as if the majority of them had never been to a game before.
Mexican waves when 1 nil up is just asking for trouble!
Where is Roy?
You see the two guys with '3' on the back of their jackets who stand up just as Hoolahan is about to cross, well he's sitting right in front of them. He's one of the first into the pitch, it looks like he's actually sprung on, going nuts celebrating. He embraces MON at 0:42.

They should all have been booked for encroaching on the pitch.
