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.

I wouldn't have minded as much had it being the Germans they were booing. Bloody Merkel and her cronies making us pay their Bankers.

Yeah actually, i'd still hold in high regard the fans in the video having a few chants above fans of thrash TV, but that's a different discussion on a different thread. So all the fans were pissing now were they ? You wish they were just to have another rant at me.

Refusing to accept responsibility for putting themselves in a position where they are drunk, bursting for a piss in a place with no toilets. Its those clowns who need to cop on.

And I'm not ranting at you I responded to your thread in which you were lauding stupidity while you were denouncing it in another thread.

I can guarantee it's absolute bollocks. Whoever heard of a neo-nazi pub? Especially one trying to lure in Irish fans in purely for the sake of "beating them up".

And I'll tell you how I know it's bollocks, even if I never knew anything about Poland. The fact that it's posted on facebook in a kind of..."oh hey guys, please share this. I heard on some website that there is a nazi pub in Poland who want to beat up Irish. Like this post and one less fan will be beat up".

Absolute and utter fcuking bollox. It's Poland not Syria FFS.

They other guy is kind of right, and there are many more chants from united fans that are disparaging towards England. But while these chants are popular and funny, I suspect only a minority that truly feel that way.

So not entirely bollix.

Simplify what I think is thrash tv, then begrudge the actions of those deplorable troublemakers for harmless fun. I wouldn't go out looking for autographs off them. Btw I said i'd hold them in "higher" regard THAN fans of thrash tv. That doesn't mean I even highly regard or relate to them at all. I thought it was a funny video, simple as that.

Well we're obviously of different opinions on both subjects, leave it at that.

Many people across the country understand the need to go for a leak when pissed at closing hours, the educated, the stupid etc etc. You may think you're intellectually/morally superior to everyone else who breaks a harmless minor law or differs in opinion, but you're just another begrudger on a high horse who needs to rant and whinge behind a username.

You said "I still hold them in high regard". If you want people to understand your point then make it more clearly. So you describe it as a funny video, bit of harmless fun. And thats fine, but only because its you. Anyone else says the same about xfactor it doesnt matter right ? Because they are idiots. Got ya.

Who or what am I begrudging exactly ? You didnt wander into that other thread lambasting people who watched certain things begrudging them the right to watch a bit of harmless entertainment under the name MaxSteele no ? Here's the hypocrisy coming out again. Its ok when you watch harmless stuff or have an opinion. But not for anyone else.

I dont think I am intellectually superior to anyone unlike your good self who can barely contain their contempt for people who watch stuff you deem worthless. And arguing that indulgence isnt a justifiable reason to break laws isnt exactly claiming to be morally superior either.

My opinion on different topics. Because I see a difference between a harmless piss at all hours in a quiet alley compared to the daytime.

Both are harmless stuff. Difference is, I distinguish loud, singing Irish fans completely separate to what I think is lazy, dumbed down excuses for entertainment. You think both are equally the same in the intellectual category whereas I don't.

Yep, well I've made it very clear my opinions on both.
Simple fact is, there's plenty of us who don't care about this over indulgence and have better and more important things to worry about and deem it virtually harmless. I can tell you from experience Garda don't really mind either.

I for one cannot wait for Sunday. The football we play may on a whole be guff but I genuinely believe that we'll nick a 1-0 win against the Croatians and more than likely have a winner takes all clash against Italy in the final game, with Trap hopefully continuing his good form against his home country.

I'm a GAA man first and foremost but even that is taking a back-seat for the ten days. I'm even foregoing travelling to Tullamore to watch Wexford play Longford on Sunday so I can enjoy the marquee and live band (rebel music,perfect warm-up to an Irish match!) that my regular pub is laying out for the occasion. Gonna spend all my free time between now and then watching re-runs of Houghton v England, Packie v Romania (and the old man crying afterwards), Keane v Germany, while listening to Joxer Goes to Stuttgart and some Dubliners.

It's great to see the country in such high spirits in the lead up to a major tournament. But then again that's the beauty of sport

How does booing another team we may not even be playing make them "the best fans in the world"? They're not supporting their own team, they're just being dicks.

Some Irish fans really need to get over England. It's kind of emabarrasing - it's not even a mutual rivalry. England have no beef with us...they nothing us.

It just screams of small-man syndrome, going out of their way to hang around the England hotel to boo and chant stuff. No problems with it though if it was in the stadium and we were playing them. Wouldn't surprise me if some people went out of their way purely to be there when England arrived and were probably more excited to see the England team than they would be the Irish team, for different reasons of course.

Not really a rivalry if it's all one sided, more an obsession.

For all the pessimism regarding Ireland's chances, a huge computer programme has been developed and the results are in! ireland to reach the quarter-finals but be knocked out by England.

You know you are just a professional complainer when you are actually trying to make an issue out of fans chanting at John Terry, a horrible excuse of a man who has racially abused another player (brother of a former team mate) and has also cheated with the wife of one of his former teammates.

The funny thing lot of English fans would actually find that chant very amusing as well.
