It's FIFA policy, glass glasses have potential to be used as weapons.  So beer is served in plastic glasses which can be disposed afterwards.  It affects all fans, not just Irish ones.

Hard plastic with match details.
The young lad brought a few back.
They sold alcohol and non alcohol beer. 
350 roubles which was cheaper than some of the bars near the centre.

sometimes you can return the glasses and get a small fee 0.25€ or something

you could at the Euros anyway. Saw plenty of people returning towers of glasses

Never gave it a second thought and binned all of my glasses. Yeah they are nice for souvenirs but are a pain in the arse to carry around. 

Also they were definitely checking that id and ticket names matched yesterday.  But as said on here before less likely if you don't enter the stadium early.

Is there an Eamon Dunphy equivalent on Russian TV?  Yamon Dunphiev?
