Ireland Vs Denmark Atmosphere

As you've seen, flags have been found and I'm waiting to be given a time to go over and inspect what's left in the box. A couple of people have said they'd get involved so hopefully we can do something there. 

The below press release also came round from the FAI so there'll be a light show and music before the game celebrating the 30th anniversary of Aldo scoring the goals that qualified us for Italia 90.

We've suggested flags to be left on seats as we saw the Danes do in Copenhagen. Bit cheesy maybe but it's hard to find something that the East and West stands will get involved in and people bringing kids like that sort of thing. 

But above all, the atmosphere will be sustained or not by what people see on the pitch. I imagine it'll be great at the start. 

Republic of Ireland great John Aldridge is the latest Lansdowne Legend, on the night of the UEFA EURO 2020 showdown with Denmark at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.

Aldo will be introduced to the sell-out crowd minutes before the teams take to the field for the crucial qualifier.

He is being honoured almost 30 years to the day since his two goals away to Malta sent Ireland to the FIFA World World Cup Finals for the first time.

Aldridge's introduction to the Aviva Stadium crowd will be followed by a spectacular light show, to celebrate his goalscoring feats.

The Liverpool and Ireland legend said; "This is a huge game for Mick McCarthy and the players. I'm thrilled to be a small part of the night.

"I have so many great memories playing in Lansdowne Road, and I'm looking forward to another special night for Irish football.

"I want the Green Army to get in early to the Stadium for the pre-match light show, and to say hello. Let's put them under pressure!"

I'm sure the fans will raise to the occasion if the players do. 

Look at the last Denmark play off for an example. Atmosphere was electric before kick off and ramped up again after Duffy's goal. Then we sat back and they took control which made the fans nervous. Atmosphere was still okay even after their second but once those insane subs were made at half time it killed it stone dead. It has to be a two way street. Approach the game like we did at home to Georgia and fans will respond. Approach it like we did away and try and nick one after 75 minutes and the atmosphere will be dead by half time. 

I’d say you’re a barrel of laughs at games.

Don’t forget about the McClean chant. He’ll be starting after all.
