surprised it hasnt been mentioned yet but stewarding at south terrace against portugal was a disgrace.. fans herded in like cattle and kept closing gates. will the f.a.i ever get brains or is that asking too much. fans still outside at least 10 minutes into the game

and as for the 44,100...what a joke

easily add another 8000 onto that

rant over

North Terrace was just as bad with people being ushered into the touchline seats 30 minutes after game started. Evening Herald devoted its front page headline on Thursday to it but the FAI claimed it was poeple arriving late.

Did anyone else notice that the tickets were the same colour code as those for the Croatia game. I checked back through previous tickets and none were of the same colouring.

Any comments?

Whatever about the other problems, people arriving 5/10 minutes before KO is a big problem at Ireland games. Happens every game for the last few years Its the old sure we'll fit in one more pint syndrome. You can't seriously expect to stroll on up to the ground near ko and expect to float right in

I was in the south terrace, I was one of the people shouting at the stewards demanding answers. They either ignored me or sais they didn't know why it was being done. The bald guy with the ear piece in the empty part of the terrace told me to shut up, the it was f*cking nothing to do with me. Then we demanded to see their bosses but they ignored us again. I even showed them kids getting squashed beside me. Disgraceful
