England Friendly

 

Oh dear, tirchonaill, and I thought we had gotton rid of them. I remember a "hard core" of supporters in the LOI who had no interest in the game only causing trouble. I remember one particularly nasty bloke who used to turn up at Bohs v Derry games (when they attracted a big crowd) and had no interest in the game or either team. He was there to cuase trouble and was part of this Youth Defence sh1t. I seem to remember once he was set upon by some Derry fans and we never saw him again.

And now they are turning up at Ireland away games? Probably more of those "Bohs fans" who started trouble in Norn Iron. I think it is time to rescue our game from these people and not go down the road of the English fans.

 

Thats exactly it, these pricks have no interest in the game or in following Ireland, it just seems to be an excuse for them to go on a sesh and cause hassle. Look at the fools who were at the San Marino game - throwing something at our own players and then physically fought amongst themselves Really shameful. Its just pure ignorance.

 

As for them not travelliing on this double header, I'm not so sure. Money doesnt seem to be an issue for them and now Trappa's on board and the Rugby is not doing so great  they might be inclined to jump on the soccer band wagon

 

Tirchonaill, I had a spare for the Stuttgart game too, didn't get rid of it in the end cos the amount of idiots not willing to even pay face value for it, even though I paid 400euros for 4 tickets off a young german donald trump on ebay.

 

No offense to the sound Dubs on this forum but going to Ireland home and away games lately is like going to a Dublin game in Croke Park in the summer. A large element of Dub fans all think they're a fooking cross between Pat Spillane and Tommy Tiernan. Comedian experts, or expert comedians.

Still laugh at this photo when I look at it, should be a YBIG photo - Irish lads singing away in the square where English fans ran riot a few months previously. Old German guy in the middle of it, loving it. The Fook England scarf and the huge glasses of beer...ah, great days!

 

 

96 days to the Serbia game and 201 to the first qualifier...looking forward to it already!

 

Stuttgart was my favourite trip of that campaign (and a close second after the Faroe Islands over all) - the craic was briliant. Was so bizzare the amount of people we met and have stayed mates with, we adopted a little German girl on the train, met many many lovely men in uniform and bar one little fool everyone was great fun. I cant wait for these qualifiers to start.  

However, I can see Trappa getting on the FAI's case to arrange games against opposition he believes play in a similar style to our opponents. England is not an option but I could see Spain, Russia, and Greece being fitted into the schudule.
