How are these these two unconnected things in competition. Fans have little impact on result of the game other than creating atmosphere on the stadium. Behaviour in pubs and trains is irrelevant to the game but good behaviour is good to see. ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |

No problem with drunken lads over for the laugh as long as they don't do the bouncy, sing ten German bombers, or any other behaviour that dilutes or image as supporters. I thought that video of the fans signing a baby to sleep was hilarious. Also the video of the guy with the horse mask kicking the ball in a window was exceptional. Aside from some cringy self praise stuff, we've been a credit to our mammies and the Irish public in general!

Agreed here, their behaviour has been very good. It's almost as if they know they are ambassadors for their country while they are abroad. This an area where the English fans often fall down (including the ones who are not rioting) - not really caring what the locals think of them or showing much respect to their local customs.

Its a tough one really. I can see both sides to be honest. I'm an Irish fan & season ticket holder and losing to Belgium really got me down. Football first & foremost. I was in the fan zone and the mood certainly dipped for a while. Met a few over there who were honest in saying they weren't there for the football but the craic and they were nothing but decent to us, even spotted us a few bottles on the train to Bordeuax. If it was the case that lads went over and caused bother I might feel differently, I dont think it'll be the same story if we get to Russia! ------------- Danger Here! |

If people want to travel for the craic then I have no problem with that. I have gone to a GAA match and a couple of rallies just for the beer even though I have no interest in them. The only time it becomes a problem for me is when real football fans can't get tickets for games over the people who mainly go for the crack.

Genuine question, what is a "real football fan?" Its so unascertainable in many respects, and at the highest level, it eliminates anybody who is not a National League, and International Season Ticket Holder. Equally, there are those who don't attend games (for numerous reasons), but are incredibly active at grass roots level, be it with the clubs or in administration. They support football in a different way. But that is a very small number, which can potentially be vaulted by balloting sensibly, or utilising package deals.

Merely suggesting that there should be a proper system to allocate tickets based on previous record as they have with any modern sporting organisation. At the moment there's a lot of ticket's that fall into dubious hands, I saw a few lads with FAI tickets that has been sold to them over the odds by the people they had been awarded too. Reported every person after the game, maybe they'll do nothing but at least I tried. ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

Get drunken idiots everywhere even in town on a Wednesday ..... Some people go to the euros just to get smashed. Thing I hate is when you see lads who are sloppy falling into a table where locals are having a meal or going up to an elderly couple who are having lunch and trying to get high fives off them when they just want to be left alone. It's annoying and a tad embarrassing but being drunk sloppy and loud still beats smashing up a pub or coffee shop |

The simply fact is the majority of regular match day goers are there to be seen and not heard outside of the footballing side of things. I.E. not causing trouble or acting the pup. I had my hotels, match tickets etc all sorted for the Euro's but unfortunately I couldn't go due to a high work load (such is life) yeah sure I'm jealous I couldn't go to France, don't begrudge anyone there whether they're regulars or bandwagoners. But don't tell me "we're the best fans in the world" because we're nowhere near it, a couple of blokes picking up rubbish or singing to a woman is all well and good for the camera, but where the hell will these be on a cold night in November when we've a friendly against Latvia or Estonia? ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

As long as they don't get tickets over away trip regulars, I don't mind them as long as they stay out trouble. Who knows, maybe they will get the supporting our national team bug and frequent Lansdowne more often. I for one could count on 2 hands the amount of times I'd been in Lansdowne prior to the WC '10 qualifiers and I live in Dublin. Can't really explain why I stayed away for so long but my 1st away game was Paris '09 and swore I'd never miss a home or away game I was around for after it. Emigration has dictated I can't go anymore but it took a massive away game for me to start going regular and hopefully it'll rub off on some in France and we get Lansdowne rocking like it used to ------------- "Everytime Leeds concede a goal, its like being stabbed in the heart" - Billy Bremner Gary Speed 1969-2011 YBIG Blind Date Champion 2010 |

Found myself using the phrase "Maybe I'm getting old" a number of times on this trip (I don't see myself as that old !) in relation to the conduct of some people. Definitely thought it was messier than Poland and say a few things that annoyed me : People robbing ice creams from a shop that was selling cans near Moulin Rouge, people happily singing and dancing away after we had just get beaten by Belgium. It's mostly all good natured and most enjoyable but some aspects of things do annoy me.

100% agree that the carry on after Belgium bet us was a joke . Another thing was seeing lads slumped in the streets outside MC Donald's on that afternoon . Anyone who didn't have a ticket for Bordeaux were drinking all day non stop and it wasn't great to see their condition . Very somber mood for me for a few hours after .

Came across this in the Irish Times Letters.
Greatest fans in the world? Wed, Jun 22, 2016, 01:02 t Sir, – These people are not fans; they are
just holidaymakers. The football is incidental to these people, as proved by
their celebrations in Bordeaux on Saturday night after getting spanked by
Belgium. The excessive drinking and the interactions between these
holidaymakers and locals has been embarrassing, not funny. Media outlets are perpetuating this “greatest
fans in the world” myth with idiotic stories and online videos. The fact is
that these people know little or anything about the Irish team. Look at the
amount of Irish people leaving the stadium early on Saturday against Belgium.
We have met Irish fans in France who attend games home and away and who are the
real fans but sadly they are in the minority, and have no voice in the media. Will these people be in the Aviva come the World
Cup qualifiers? I doubt it, and a part of me hopes they stay away. Binge-drinking and idiotic behaviour are not pretty
and have nothing to do with football. |

Green Devil nailed it on previous page. Lots of Irish think they're great fans and travel in the hundreds of thousands if they think there's a bit of craic to be had, but how often has the aviva been sold out for the qualifiers in the past several years? It's fair to say that a substantial proportion of the "fans" over in France now don't regularly attend "normal" Ireland matches. Also, the constant trying to be everybody's best friend act is cringeworthy. Cleaning up after a piss-up? Come on, that's all for show for the world media, "look how great we are"! When we all know those people would never in a million years do the same thing were they attending a match/concert/festival at home! Just comes across as a bit needy - a lot of our fans desperately crave the praise of the world media. Ok, it's better than smashing up the place and fighting with the local cops, but still cringe worthy all the same. |

One of the thing I really accepted and appreciated on this trip was the atmosphere at the square in Lille. Yes, the young lads got crazy, but overall the crowd was composed. We just got our asses handed to us by Belgium. The atmosphere was there, but very little singing, dancing, etc. I appreciated that the fans knew where we stood in the group. It would have been half embarrassing if the square was full of chants and songs after what Belgium had done to us. We saved everything for the stadium, which was perfect. The best match of my life and I saw 94 vs Italy and 2002 vs Germany. 2016 in Lille is my fondest memory.

Have to agree with this one. In 2012 it was my first rodeo , had very little interest in Trapp but went for "the craic" in the camper anyway. Been to an awful lot of games since then and would have to say I think it was seeing the atmosphere over in Poland that got me hooked!This time around was still mental but with being 4 years older (but not too much wiser) you were able to appreciate it a lot more. I'd be hoping that out of all the so called band wagoners at least a small percentage will now show up at the Aviva on a regular basis

I would expect attendances to definitely increase for the WC qualifiers. After Euro 88, we got a full house at Lansdowne for the four qualifiers, even Malta. The Euro qualifiers just gone always had an air of doubt or uncertainty hanging over them and a question of whether this current Irish squad were up to much and whether MON and Keano were the right men for the job.

Shame that. The only thing I personally saw which I found utterly embarrassing was people pissing wherever they wanted. Appreciate the French don't exactly go for toilets in a big way but I always made the effort of just popping into a bistro and asking. Was only refused once. I did meet a few clowns from Limerick the day of Belgium game who openly admitted they were only there for the craic. That's part and parcel however and as long as they don't make arses of themselves I've no real problem with that. Quite a few lads singing hardcore rebel songs in Bordeaux one night. Again I don't have a particular issue with that but I do think there is a time and a place and that wasn't it. ------------- Draw me a compass I need a MAP |

I heard a group singing it in Lille. Funnier was the group of locals singing it in an English pub as Iceland got their second. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.
