Because that is how your posts have come across. You seemed touchy and sensitive on the matter, if you aren't, then I apologise; but writing "stay classy", when nothing classless was posted, at least not by me, just reinforced that view. I am sorry you had a bad experience, but I have never been to a football match as an away fan without getting a little bit of sl*gging, be that Ireland away in Denmark or Cork City away in Athlone.

In the dubliner as well the night before. Shouting support for a terrorist organization has no place in Irish football.

Did you get to watch the England match in the end?

I actually watched the u21 Ireland game beside a British terrorist would you believe.

The usual pro IRA chanting.  Honestly don't think I heard much of it while at the match. Maybe one or two lads were adding in those parts but I couldn't say for certain. Only stopped in the Dubliner for one pint so can't comment on what was sang in there.

It was going on on Thursday night as well. It's definitely crept back in and is tedious beyond belief. No different to the English giving it anti IRA stuff or 12 German bombers. The same people were singing 'You'll never walk alone' when it was played on the radio.

The Danes are an arrogant bunch alright - sense of superiority from them big time. Was chatting to one of their regular supporters on the way into the ground who seems to do all aways and was in Russia and was just Laughing at me asking us why we are so sh*t - best form of defence was attack back though. Same vibes for the last fixture in Copenhagen and Aarhus although slightly friendlier in Aarhus.
