Best fans

[patsh]

Pats fans were very poor I thought on Friday night. With the exception of the "Dolan whats the score" chant ye were well outsung by the Cork lads.
Good crowd though, and where were the Pat's big flags?

[wws]

like bohs or shamrock rovers

we only brought them to cork cause it was our first game with new boss Eamonn Collins

next week against shamrocks will be the real pats fans on the display

Seriously, do you believe that? At singing when you get a last minute equaliser doesn't count...

What wws meant to say was that we don't go full on for every game as we don't wanna get boring. Well that and it takes about an hour to set up and then another 30-40 minutes to take down...

Cork really isn't a class A match for us so they only get some of the smaller flags.

So the REAL Pats Fans were not there on Friday ??

Surely you are there to support your team, does it matter who the opposition is?
Don't your team deserve "full on" support at all games?

I think its obvious enough he means displays, not support... There is a difference...

ehm mixing up points here as I was responding to different posts and different points in my post in this thread

basically Pats fans ARE very poor in home matches against non-dublin teams - that is very true, its a justifiable criticism and I accept it

on the other side of the coin the point that some of the posters above are missing is that derby games are a different kettle of fish to ordinary games as any football fan the world over will tell you

I dont think you lot would really appreciate just how noisy and colorful a game against Shamrocks, Bohs or Shels normally are for pats fans, when you say you came to richer as cork or longford and outsung the pathetic home support that may be true but dont kid yourselves that your efforts were anywhere near the bare minimum amount of passion at a typical derby match

this friday against shamrock I can safely tell you will be the League of Ireland event of the year with two sets of vociferous supporters, both with the only organised tifo sections and terrace co-ordination groups in the league - it will be colorful and it will be noisy....and even though its not great to admit games against longford or cork or whatever just arent in the same ball park....its a completely different event

Cheers Macy. You see thats a big point here. Some people here haven't a clue what ourselves (SEI) and the Ultras (apart from their casual mates) are about. Its about proper colour involving a large amount of fans and not just 2 or 3 big flags.

Apart from the 8 waveys we have 6 huge professionally made banners, 60+ smaller special designed flags and numerous other pieces of regalia. When you add in the SEI scarves, drums, flares, smokes etc it all adds up to a helluva lot of work. For the upcoming Rovers game, the SEI will have about 100 people involved in our displays. After the recent Bohs game (where not everything was used) there were 6 of us in Richmond Park at about 10.15 putting stuff away.

So when I say full on, I don't mean lack of effort during the match, I mean we can't be arsed spending the bones of 4 hours in Richmond Park for every match. We'll still sing, we'll still be heartbroken if we lose, we just won't have to clean up after ourselves.

Relax man, read your post again, and it's easy enough to take the meaning I did out of it.
I'm not having a go at you.

I know and I wasn't having a go at you (although yeah I can see where you could get that...) but thought I'd spout out a little...

Derry would have to be the best all right, particularly the lads who stayed in the marquee all night after our end of season title winning party, vaguely remember talking to at least one (might have been seeing double or treble by that stage though!)

Great support from all LoI fans on the North Terrace on saturday.

I'd say it would have to be Rovers, for both best and worst.
