    I was considering it. But the OTB thing also be an option if another ticket transpires. How much were yours?

    I paid top whack (Cat 1) but they are the VIP seats. Obviously returned or couldn't be sold. I'm presuming all those Cat 1 seats that went up on the portal were excellent seats.

    Yeah I was lucky enough to get a couple of Cat.4's for the Romania v Switzerland game but I don't think I would have paid any more than that really. I'd pay whatever for the Ireland games and would have accepted a Cat.1 for England v Wales too but other than that I wouldn't break the bank for any other games. Croatia v Turkey is quite an attractive fixture though I think but we don't arrive until after it kicks off.

    Not personally, but the four from our group are.
    Loads of tickets were going for it. They got Cat3/4.

    I thought I was the only one. In Poland they weren't as ten a penny as they are now. All it is is lads wanting to have the next "Angela thinks we're working".

    Some have been funny, but there are some awfully naff ones that are rather crass.

    Most of them are terribly stupid, but there have been a few crackers.

    Honestly, I'm one of the cranky sods who thinks that writing ANYTHING on a flag is heresy of the worst kind. Some are funny (some are very funny) but, in the same way that I wouldn't be cracking jokes in the middle of a funeral service, I wouldn't be emblazoning them on the national flag either. People do, and best of luck to them, but it makes me cringe.

    And don't get me started on selling the jersey with a sponsor on the front.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    The Richie Sadlier one made me laugh, but the FAI should confiscate the tickets of whoever made this.

    I've noticed a lot of them have the Euro 2016 logo. Is there a reason for having it on the flag?

    Lots of Irish fans have suffered at the hands of the Bordeaux tram system on Saturday with hundreds arriving late, some very late.

    Has anyone scoped out transport for tomorrow in Lille, in context of being able to watch the Group F games beforehand? Is there anywhere near the stadium?

    It sounded (and looked) like Irish fans were vastly outnumbered in the ground in Bordeaux (on tv pictures I mean). Was that case, or were there fans late arriving into the ground?
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
