Irish Fans Boo & Taunt English Squad

vixdname

Hi all,
This video was posted on Facebook the other day by a lad I know, its basically a video of a load of Irish fans having gathered outside the hotel that the English squad are staying at during the Euro 2012 Tournament and when they arrive start booing them and singing republican songs
The video got a very mixed reception on Facebook with some lads thinking it was great that the Irish fans done this while others didnt agree with it stating that if English fans had done this to the Irish squad on their arrival in Poland like singing God Save The Queen etc etc, it would have been a whole different story.

What do ye think ? Is it Irish fans just having a laugh ? Irish fans lowering themselves in the international gaze ?

Let me know ye're opinions

You need to put "breaking news" in the thread title.

That's embarrassing...glad I don't watch/care about football :pac:

Looks like a bit of craic and a warm welcome to me. But sure isn't this what football is about, jeering the opposition with chants and songs? Everybody loves us still

TeddyTedson

It's football, not politics. That's what happens, you taunt your rivals. Our biggest being England, no big deal.

That kinda carry on is embarressing to be honest.

I played it to half way through and didn't hear anything racist. The general songs and stuff I don't think is offensive.
If there were any "w***ker" comments etc then that's not right, it shouldn't be aimed at players purely because they're on the English team.
However, there are a lot of w***ker little manwhores on that team so if it was aimed at them individually, the abuse is quite accurate and I say here, here!
Even if I was English I don't think I could want that team to win... the tears of broken-hearted manwhores surely tastes much sweeter than national sporting success

It's the only way to get our 6 counties back.

Its only embarrassing because I can guarantee the dicks who are booing the English side, support English teams

The only people that seem to have a problem with it are Irish non-football fans. In all of the UK papers that carried the story, it was said to be 'good natured' rather than malicious.

The mood was good-natured, a game of verbal ping-pong breaking out to wile the time away. The English began teasing the Irish with chants of “Thierry Henry”, a reminder of the Frenchman’s handling offence in Paris, which prompted a riposte of “One Maradona”. The English, showing rare awareness of life beyond the sports pages, responded by serenading the Irish with “You’re going down with the Euro”.

Stop being outraged and offended on other people's behalves ffs

I done a search for a thread about this but didnt find one, my apologies if there is one already.
So if this thread is boring to you feel free to leave and try be a keyboard comedian on another thread that might enjoy your fantastic wit more then this one

It really is such a pity that Boards.ie has so many smart asses on it who wouldnt have the balls to say boo to you if they met you in person.

It's no great revelation that Irish have their scum, and English have their scum. I'm just mortified that this is the over all impression people will get of our country, purely based on these fúck holes that can't hold their ale and or shut their moronic racist traps.

If only a country could disown their scum, I doubt we'd be the only country doing so in all fairness.

all fans do it - i remember watching England vs Germany with some Germans and afterwards these English lads came over and said "at least we won the war". just a bit of banter.

I opened a thread as I was interested in peoples opinion on something that happened a few days back.
I done a search to see if had already been discussed, couldnt find one.
Got a few opinions before the smart ass brigade arrived and posted ignorant replies and tried to make little of a genuine interest I had in peoples opinions in what happened. I cant understand why if people on boards.ie come to a thread that they dont find interesting etc why they feel they have to try and be smart, ignorant etc, thats what get my knickers in a knot.

Could not care less it happens in every sport. Look at GAA any county kicking into Hill 16 will get booed out of it by the Dubs

"Welcome to 3 days ago" wasnt trying to be smart ...ya think ?

What about, "Sorry lad, there was a thread on this earlier heres the link"

or maybe you dont know the difference between being a smart ass and social decorum :rolleyes:
