lads there have been some hilarious moments on our trips away but for me the funniest was in lisbon in 2000 , there was at least 5-6000 on this trip and there were a gang of lads all dressed up as Arabs ( they looked class) the were up on the front row of the second level looking down on everyone. There was another gang of lads all dressed as elvis and as they walked underneath one of the Arabs shouted out " Elvis!! Ya American Bastard!!"
 
I laugh every time I remember that.
 
Any more good lines from away trips lads ? or even something someone shouted from the crowd at landsdowne?

i remember years ago i was in lansdowne and tony cascarino was having a nightmare of a game..one fan across from me tried to lift cas's spirits by starting the chant 'there's only one cascarino', which was met, quick as a fart in the wind, by a lad who just shouted 'thanks be to jaysus there's only one of him'..stand erupted.. 
I dont email the count anymore, its been 9 months : ( He even sent me a YBIG scarf for my Birthday

remember the early 90's at a game in landsdowne. jack gave some young lad (mark wilson I think was his name and he was an electrifying winger at portsmouth at the time I believe). he was very small in build though,a nd I remember one lad commenting :
"fux sake, Jack must be feeling confident when he's even giving one of the ball boys a run out" ...

Mine was at a home game when at Half time they brought out this lad from England who was the World record holder for "keepy-up" (you know where you kick, knee and head the ball without it touching the ground). Anyway the young lad proceeded to strut his stuff around the edges of Lansdowne Road all the time moving around the pitch and keeping the ball up. Just as he got to where I was on the terraces after about 10 minutes he dropped the ball and a lad behind me went "JAYSUS!"

Mark Kelly was the boy BB!! Disappeared without trace. 
 
Outside Giants Stadium going into the game v Italy in 1994, a US TV reporter asked our mate Fergus (dressed as St Patrick) what the mood was like in Dublin.  Gus said there was a barman strike as it happened and that if the strike continued for the duration of the Irish games it'd make the LA riots look like Sesame St.  LOL

Too many to put here but a good one was also from Portugal from the stadium of lakes game, 25000 Irish travelled to that game and loads did a week long trip in the Algarve, was coming out of a nightclub there a few days before the game and a local guy was selling food out of a van, he was on his own and just under way too much pressure and never had enough food for the masses of hungry Irish wantin a late night feed, he even had to drive off twice to get extra burgers from wherever he had them stored, anyway in the end the queue was more than 100 people I would say and a song started up, you’ll never feed the Irish.LOL

Was at the Ireland v Norway in Landsdowne back in 2003. Gary Breen was playing and having a nightmare of a game. At the time he was with West Ham and Glenn Roeder was the manager who had just been quite sick with head problems. Anyway after a series of bad touches by Breen a fella behind me pipes up

Same as RM, back to Lisbon 2000, the day of the game we were all looking for pub with eng v ger(last eng game at old wembley), nowhere seem to have it til we came across place down this alleyway, 1 barman sitting on a goldmine as nowhere else had it, place was size of someones front room, place was mobbed in no time as word got about, after about 15 mins barman takes cash tray out of till and walks out (ran out of beer) left the place unattended, put a few bottles of local spirit free on counter to help ourselvesBig%20smile(there were still some hanging up behind bar too) about 15 mins later he comes back with 3 mates carrying loads of cases of beer. He was amazed some of the spirits was still unopened, place intact, that he then walked down through the crowd handing every body a free can of beer. Was still probably his biggest pay day in that bar even with the free stuff he gave out. For the barmanClap and the Irish fans who he was amazed at that dayClap

What's a Botel ? Confused
 
Is it like a cross between a Brothel and a Hotel.
