People claiming Ireland is a "football mad nation", "best fans in the world™", etc, yet 2,000 people at a LoI match is considered a good attendance.
I don't think there's anything wrong with being glory hunting, event junkies who enjoy watching TV in the local and shouting for a foreign team, but let's be honest about it, not pretend we're somehow football fans.

And for what it's worth, I don't mind the drunken shenanigans on Paddy's day.  It's a massive tourist draw, and an internationally known day that allows us to sell ourselves to the rest of the world.
As for drunken kids, we all started on Paddy's Day (or Halloween if ye're from Derry).  It's just one of those things, no point getting upset about it.

Paddies Day is the biggest embarrassment. how can you say its not. Many foreigners are shocked by what they see on Paddies day here. If you dont see anything wrong with scumbags absolutely buckled by 10pm puking their rings up all over the street and causing fights, not to mention all the geebags in their miniskirts puking up and need their mouthy mates to carry them home and then complain their drink was spiked. Eh, no love you just got rat arsed drunk and couldnt stand up and were a disgrace.  Then there is kids drinking and thinking getting absolutely pissed out of their minds and acting like a complete arsehole is tradition.  ''Ah sure it's only a bit of craic''.  ''Ah sure the politicians are doing their best.'' ''Ah sure Bertie wasn't the worst.''Dead

Football is the most played sport in the country, thus proving that we are in fact a football mad nation.

What have fans of the Irish football team got to do with LOI attendances? Isn't supporting you're country not enough no? I mean if Ireland fans win best supporters in the world for 10 years running, what has that got to do with the LOI? 

Blah, Blah, Blah look at me i support a LOI team, how dare anyone from Ireland support a team based in the UK! Give me a break Dead

Drunken Irish. People seem to be proud of the fact that many landlords in America will not lease to Irish people. It has put me off visiting Australia, the though of drunken Irish dopes all over the place. When I lived in the UK, it was the same, drunken Irish everywhere banging on about Celtic bla bla bla.
