And it's also this sort of un-evolved close-mindedness begrudgery that's ruining the country.

They're a football team. They're lads who kick a ball around a field for ninety minutes. They're not the cause of the f*cking famine or the plantations.

Ah, c'mon guys, I'm sure it's just the bad 1% making all that noise?
Damn good ventriloquists.

God I cringe at this kind of sh1te. Bunch of drunken muppets thinking they're so fcuking cool. Get outta that you cretinous gimps making of a show of us on the continent. Go home and put your Man United jersey on.

Pathetic, especially after the great reception given to the Irish players.

F*ck sakes, just after watching the full video. Absolute stupid behaviour.

When I go on holiday I try to be as nice as I can as I like other nationalities to go "Oh! The Irish must be a nice bunch of people and not at all as the media portrays them..."

Well done lads, making an absolute show of the nation yet again.

Booing rivals and chanting "ole ole" and "you'll never beat the irish" is making a show of Ireland ?? Oh god Joe, it's a disgrace. :rolleyes:

It's harmless banter, nothing malicious was said. Last time I checked, English fans were the ones tearing up German cities post match in 2006 and so on.

Those fools are just letting themselves and their country down. I thought we were above that sort of behaviour.

I think it's the effort though. Who waits by the hotel the English team are coming in to just to chant "G'wan Ireland" like they're throwing some mouldy potatoes at them!? It's a waste of energy and should be in the stadium instead of them coming in. I stand by my point.

Oh how convenient you missed the "Terry is a racist" chant? Ar$eholes.

2:12 in if you didn't make it that far.

murpho999

Bloody hell, you can tell After Hours people don't watch football.

Nothing embarrassing about it and the English fans wouldn't expect anything else.

I'm more wondering why the Irish are there in the first place. They should be in Poznan!

So xfactor watchers are all trend following thickos (any half wit knows this apparently) but this is harmless banter and just a bit of craic like. Bunch of intelligent individuals doing something constructive is it ? :rolleyes:

Just because he's a public figure (and apparently a racist) doesn't excuse the fact that the Irish, people who are portraying our island, are there chanting this lowering themselves to the tabloid pap they fap to on their tea breaks.

mackg

English footballers get a lot worse than this at virtually every away ground they go to during the season. My problem is that these lads stood there and waited for god knows how long to boo the English for a couple of minutes, there is a rivalry there between us, mostly on our end but this kind of thing when we aren't even playing them just makes us look obsessed and pathetic.

You swear they beat up incident people, did Nazi salute or sang about dead people.

Yes its embarrassing, but far far worse goes on.

Anything for whinge.

banter = embarrassing drunks

No doubt they have their Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea tattoo's/shirts, covered under their Ireland kit for the next couple of weeks.

This is standard when England make a finals.

TheGimp

OH MY GOD CALL JOE DUUUUUFFFYYY ITS A DISGRACE SO IT IS.

murpho999

Really some of you want to lighten up.

They are young football fans on holiday at a football tournament, and you want them to think of the nations reputation or chant something philosophical.

Really they said nothing derogatory about England and will go totally unnoticed by the England team.

I stand by my opinions you mentioned. Yeah actually it is just craic "like". I'm sorry, I didn't know these fans were supposed to be constructive on holiday and not enjoy themselves. Maybe they should be off giving speeches of wisdom in Krakow city center.

Christ you just love being offended. don't you ?

Has the group tables been changed or something ? ... I didn't realise Ireland were now playing England .

A lot of people are flying into Krakow, Warsaw, Bydgoszcz, Łódź, Wrocław etc. and travelling to and from Poland.

Seems to be more opportunistic than premeditated to me.

Couldn't give a toss about the game, it's the wasted energy that's gone in to this that's irks me. I mean they could be still in a bar or just sightseeing?

I've just seen this posted on facebook and as it thread related thought I would post here .

Hey just a shout out to fans going to poland for the euros there was a warning on the ybig site about BROGANS IRISH PUB in POZNAN this is a NEO NAZI PUB its just a front to lure irish in so they can be beat up share this with other people going to Poland. We want all our fans home safe!

Liverpool and Utd from England supporters will be jeering their own players if they play against England and then cheer them again for their club in August, no need to single the Irish out for it, all completely normal.

Yes I got that bit. I don't know what the full story is, maybe passing by then noticed the English would be swinging by and decided to stay for a piss take.

There's too many of you blowing this out of proportion. I feel like I'm reading a sleazy tabloid.

I take it you were staunchly defending public urination then too ? And you still stand by calling watchers of the xfactor idiots for enjoying a TV show in their own homes while defending the actions of these clowns band people who piss in main streets ?

Your ignorance offends me to be honest. Looking down on others who dare to enjoy somehting you dont while revelling in drunken idiocy.

Much like their own fans then. Or do you forget Rooney telling the English fans to f**k themselves at the world cup when he was booed off the pitch.

Christ we've turned into a nation of humourless do gooder pansies. How dare they jeer that scumbag John Terry.

It really isn't!

I would never boo or jeer a player who plays for my club side simply because they were turning out for their nation. If anything, I actually make a concerted effort to watch their game, see how they do and cheer them on. This isn't something unusual among supporters in England either.

That was funny though Rest of as to why some Irish fans chant that stuff is politically based, just listen to the songs they sang in the video.

And by the way if the Scots were at the Euro's, they would of sang similar tunes with a Scots slant!

Aye, and some of the Celtic supporters might have been genuine supporters too.

Why would an Irish Liverpool fan boo 6 players from their adopted club side?

Seems bizarre.

Fratton Fred

Fair play to them. Actually making the effort to make sure they are there to boo a team that couldn't give a flying **** takes a lot of commitment.

This sort of thing always reminds me.of the airport scene in Mike Basset - England manager.

Maybe it was a trick to try and avoid the numpties but backfired because they underestimated just how thick these people were.

Went to Krakow while expected in Ukraine, meanwhile the numpty squad heard they were expected in Ukraine and went to Krakow.

Why you do not talk about this instead:

I am polish, living in Ireland for almost 7 years now and I have spend in Gdansk/Sopot/Gdynia over 25 years of my life.
I am not a big football fan and maybe I am too emotional, but to be honest seeing this bring tiny tears to my eyes.
Maybe you don't care but I am little proud of how my hometown welcomed irish team. I will support them as much as as I support polish, or more.

Ah would ya stop.. have the English never booed any teams?

They weren't rowdy or anything. I'm sure the players have a thick enough skin to take it for what it is.. a bit of tomfoolery, and jibing of the 'old enemy'. It's a lot less bloody offensive than some of the stuff which is published by the English media during competitions like this.

If you know nothing about football do not bother posting in a football thread, United fans from Manchester do not even support England ! When Ronaldo played for United there was a chant to be heard around OT that went "he plays on the left, he plays on the right, he made England look like ****e"

Supporting United or Liverpool or other English clubs says nothing about your ties to England as a country, MUFC and other PL clubs are an international brand at this stage
