Irl v Den 18 Nov thread

I was in 514 but didn't notice anything myself. 

What's BSC? 

Was going down the stairs just after the final whistle, was in 515 and used the nearest stairs to there, heard a bit of shouting and then about 7/8 lads came round the corner behind me punching people randomly, knocked 1 guy to the ground with a dig then 4/5 of these Scrotes layed boots into him, punching people with kids holding their hands as they were leaving to go home. Heard one shout BSC as they ran down the rest of the stairs and just mingled into the crowds at street level.

Why do this on your own... 

So disappointed this morning but we didn't deserve it over the campaign. Big ask to come through the play offs. 

 

There needs to be context. Mick being a safe pair of hands was seen as sensible for a few reasons. Under MON things had not just gone stale they had turned toxic. We were completely rudderless and at sea with no gameplans or any semblance of structure. Stephen Kenny would have been taking a massive step up at the time and into a chaotic scene. It was seen as more sensible to go with a man who had done it before, someone pragmatic but organized and give Kenny the Under 21's to build a philosophy before transitioning to the main job. I still think it was the right approach. Don't forget we didn't really know how the play offs would work. We got a play off yes which was always likely but not a foregone conclusion. We needed others to qualify. So there needs to be context here. Now things are a good bit more positive and it certainly is not anywhere near as toxic as it got under MON. We have 2 play offs now. Let's hope we can do it and Kenny will make the step up next year so things are far from finished.

At very least we have to play like that again. No point in hoping to take the game to penalties, and we have to win sometime in order to qualify.

There was a lot of pricks giving it the 5-1 hand signals. 

Was two Danish fans coked up to their eyeballs in the west stand upper, sitting directly in front of me with their Irish mates.

Acting the absolute bollocks for the entire game and trying to get people riled up. Putting their flags in peoples faces, and just generally having that sh*te sense of Danish ‘humor’ that I’ve experienced over the games against them. 

They were bragging about being Brondby and Copenhagen hooligans which makes no sense as they probably wouldn’t be mates if that was true. 

I’m not sure why their Irish mates thought it was a good idea to have them in the home end? 

We’re very tolerant but I doubt they’d of gotten away with their nonsense if they playing Wales, Scotland, England or the North.
