    Is there a better term?
    How about locationally-challenged supporters?

    If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

    My interpretation of the term is that it is in relation to someone whose sole experience/knowledge of club football is from watching it on television.

    Hmmmm, someone who goes over to Britain regularly to watch their choosen club is not a barstooler, yet are they ranked better or worse in the eyes of eL fans?

    barstoolers

    Maybe this should be a new thread!however
    The only games a barstooler goes to is the Ireland games!
    Am i the only person that cant stand his own countrys fans?
    Go to an Ireland match and the crap coming out of the fans is something
    you wouldnt hear in an EL ground!
    The ole ole brigade do my head in and anyone who sings ole ole at a game
    should be sent to watch UCD for a year or shot!
    As for people wearing them leprechaun outfits an embarrassment to the country!
    These people are barstoolers at heart
    Id be very interested to hear views on Ireland supporters/the real barstoolers

    I agree with you hoops1.

    I don't have an inbred hatred of the Premiership. I don't support any team in it but I enjoy watching it and its a great league.

    Why should they be rewarded with watching one of the top sides in the country?

    I think he meant that they could learn a thing or two from our massive, vocal support.

    You'd need to learn Spanish first.

    What's the actual idea of National Pub whatever week ? Watching footie in a boozer ? Ooooh - that's a unique and under-represented activity that needs promoting........

    Love the way they've put the tricolour down in-place of the Norn Iron flag. Tee-hee....

    They did put the Ireland v France game in as one of the fixtures though.

    In response to the question as to whether the supporters who travel to watch football are better or worse than barstoolers. The answer is they are better. As they actually attend matches watching their so -called teams there is a snowball's chance in hell they could be tempted to an EL game especially during the months of June ,July or even early August.

    The barstoolers should be gelded as they are unfit to breed.

    As regards sentencing them to support UCD, well our ground is not the same size as Croke Park so where would be put them all?
