95% of Danes were sound but a good contingent weren't - chanting you're f**king sh*t going down the street (not in a sound way, aggro enough), no need to rub it in when we were 5-1 down either singing 'you only sing when you're winning'. Lot were very arrogant.

Again, vast majority were spot on but don't get this love in, we've been to places with sounder fans.


Fully agree. Majority were sound but the minority seemed (to me at least) to be more arrogant than the usual minority of idiots in any support.

I do in my hole. That was my most sober couple of hours of the whole trip. Whatever you did to that table when I was gone is your own business!

Saturday night managed to fall asleep under a tree around 5 in the morning and got picked up by some Cork lad. Phone was dead at this stage and couldn't find my apartment so asked a taxi man to bring me to any random hotel and checked in to a place for the night for €107. 

Was out then Sunday in Sam's Kareoke bar, drinking away with a Cork lad when, after half an hour speaking to each other, realised he was the one who woke me up the previous night. Spent about 10 minutes laughing at that then myself, him and Saint Tom were brought (by a Bob Marley lookalike) to a late bar called Hong Kong which we renamed 'The Danish Sunnybank' until 8 in the morning. 

Between extra flights, extra accommodation and a ridiculous amount of drinking must have spent between €1,000 and €1,500 all in. However, not qualifying last night saved around 5 grand so technically I'm up 3 and a half grand. Joke's on them.

Would agree with the comments above about the Danish locals. Generally the term 'A great bunch of lads' gets thrown about loosely but they deserve that title. And I mean that 100%.


For the brief time that you were in the hotel room, you owe 210e for the damaged table!

You could level this exact 'accusation' at nearly every country's support to be fair. You'll always get a few d*ckheads.

Which makes the Danish FA's ridiculously tough stance on away fans getting into home sections all the more puzzling. I know they had problems with Polish fans the previous time, but we're certainly no hell-raisers (even though a fair few more are5eholes than normal travelled over to this who wouldn't have been seen dead in Tbilisi or Chisinau), neither are the Danes.  Why did someone not point this out to the authorities?

Until the next time ! 
I just hope we can be as welcoming tomorrow :)


No worries, hope you all had a good time here.

I was at the stadium, pretty disappointed by the result and our lack of ability to score. Gotta say I was a bit surprised that you were SO defensive. Hard to get through the Irish wall.

I'm gonna be a nervous wreck tonight Confused


All walls fall eventually. You had no problem scoring tonight. Congrats.


Thanks. Quite surprised by the result and that Eriksen was soooo good.

Not as surprised as we were by MON's tactics from half-time - Eriksen's eyes must have fairly lit up when he saw what was happening.

Congratulations tho Mads and all the best in Russia.   

Yeah, Eriksen has never been given so much space in midfield to be honest.

Thanks for the kind words. All the Irish I've met have been down to earth and friendly. I think we have a similar mentality in a lot of ways. This is what's cool about football - bringing people together.

Cheers for all the info Mads, much like everyone else, enjoyed Copenhagen and any of the Danes we met were very friendly, all speaking better English than most of us too !!. Congrats on last nights result and best of luck in Russia.

I thought you hated all things Eurovision PM?

It was meant as an act of friendliness from one nation to another, I took it in that spirit. I know I can be a cantankerous **** at the best of times, but I would have been some prick if I started a diatribe on the Eurovision based on that.



Anyway, 'Hold Me Now' is a classic piece of cheesiness.

LOL
The size of the jacks in said boozer, the size of the four Irish arses being offered a deal, as well as the size of said hooker's ass, meant logistics alone meant it was unlikely.
