[QUOTE=anto eile]the event-junkie syndrome is what the whole ol� ol� ireland experience is about. if you support your country but neglect your local EL club youre not a football fan.

That's pretty funny stuff you're spouting there bud, as long as you say so!!!

Describing what makes a great support is a difficult question. I've mostly been proud of a core of our support but I dislike the p*ss-takers. The ones that talk rugger or golf, the ones that fly in on the day every trip (no one has that little holiday), the ones to whom the most important aspect of the game is telling 'da goys on munday in the office' about the whole experience, the ones that turn up in English club shirts, the ones that f*cking ask why I'm not at f*cking Wembley?

Thanks to the weather (and apologies to 'the core' who missed out on last Wednesday) there were few of these f*ckwits around even though the RTE bloke outside Cafe Natur was keen to emphasise how poor the support was for this game - it was the first game in probably over 16 years that not one person asked why I - with the Sasanach accent - was following Ireland?

Quantity doesn't mean quality and there was far better vocal support on Wednesday than at better supported games, even if the 'Where the f*ck is Davy Keogh?' and 'Is it warm in Dublin Airport?' were uncalled for.
