Why the hell are Irish people shouting against France???

SuperInfinity

Something I have always done since I was very little, is if a team knocked out my team, to root for that team because they're the next best thing in the competition.

If France went on to win the competition, Ireland could say: that should have been us. We nearly beat those guys.

How does it make Ireland look if even Mexico can beat France 2-0? I'll tell you how it makes them look... it makes them look ****!

I know it's mostly just a bit of fun but it makes no sense for Ireland to be cheering against France.

People aren't "Shouting" against France, they're shouting for the better team who have put in the effort and deserve to win.

Tonight that team happens to be Mexico.

That France are cheating bastards is just a side issue

I was shouting against them beacuse I'll win €240 if Mexico qualify and €560 if France fail to qualify!

Also, they knocked the Irish team out unfairly and people will of course be bitter. Also, Mexico were the better side, who actually went out to try to win and played the better football.

And I'm sick of thicks that constantly condemn the Irish folk who rightfully feel they have been cheated out of a WC place. We've every right to despise cheats so give it a rest.

Reportedly, the reason that Ireland were not granted the replay that the majority of football fans in the world advocated, was because Raymond Domanech would not agree to it, even in the interests of 'fair play'. As a result, I feel that Irish fans are well entitled to relish the humiliation of the side he manages. Au revoir Les Bleus!

I was disgusted to see a world cup place that our players would have fought tooth over nail for throughout the competition go to a bunch of unworthy, sulky, self-obsessed pansies. They were at the World Cup - and they totally dishonoured us by throwing that opportunity away. I didn't hate the French before because of the handball but I hate them now for the shambles of a display they put on in the World Cup and the disrespect to us they showed (indirectly) by turning up and not trying.

Its like taking a toy from a child and breaking it so no one can play with it. (forgive the lame analogy)

If I was a boxer who was beaten by a guy who loaded his gloves with Plaster of Paris, I would hope the cheating scumbag would get the life beaten out of him in his next fight (I'd prefer if he didn't fight but he would because it's a corrupt sport). I would hate to see him become successful and win titles.

The same applies to these French folk.

I don't understand the sentiment either - can't we let bygones be bygones? I say we lend our support to our European brethren as they surely would, were the tables turned. I watch for the sport, I care not who emerges victorious.



















...that is, as long as someone gives that bastard Henry a good boot in the balls...
