I think it's quite comical actually. Any other day in the year that Ireland isn't playing internationally it's called a shit hole by the masses. They'd be the very ones decking out their houses and cars with bunting, flags and donning face paint when the football does roll around. Hypocritical doesn't even come close to covering this shower.

Would you ever climb down out of your own arse,your the very type who aspires to be a desperate Dublin housewife character looking down your nose at people for being patriotic.

Am getting a Union Jack now I have to just for the looks on faces would be worth it ...

why would you get a union jack? that flag doesn't represent any team in the euro's. by all means put up a english flag if you support the team or country but putting up a union jack just to try annoy others is a bit childish IMO

Yeah if you bothered to read any of my posts I clearly stated that it was not my taste to have bunting/flags outside of my house but I respected the fact that others wish to do it anything else was just a joke really

Yeah, because trying to provoke a negative reaction is an obvious sign of your undying respect. Not to mention the fact that you consider your neighbours to be common, simply because they decided to throw up some bunting.

I guess your mantra is: "No disrespect, but I don't respect you".

Judgey judgey. One shouldn't judge when you're more than likely another one of these fake patriots. You were dying to label me as one of these, but you know nothing about me.

At least I've the honesty to call a spade a spade, rather than get locked with the rest of those that come down with a dose of fake patriotism ridiculing anyone that won't hang a load of cheap crap out of my house.

Although I did consider removing the flag from my car as well.

Someone around the corner from me has their papal bunting out (yellow and white, for the uninitiated) and a big eucharistic congress '50' thing in the front window.

Have to say, it looks way better than the Irish bunting for some reason..

So anyone who doesn't share your hardcore Republican views will be dealt with violence? Charming. The Shinners haven't changed.

Got our flag out ! looks great, even has a Leeds crest in the middle (Hopefully not a sign of how we'll do at the euros tho !). Quite a few others with their flags out. No bunting tho.

Now that's the ultimate in tacky. Adorning our country's flag with the crest of an English club. What's all that about!? I'll never understand that carry on.

wow sierra

Can we leave them up and pretend they are for the Olympics - I'm sure we will win something in that;);)

As regards whether its common or not - Soccer is more popular among "working class" or "common" people so therefore more bunting in those areas. I think they look great and create a good buzz around the place - that is until those Croatians wrecked our buzz:(:(

I saw loads of flags on cars at the Golf Club this morning - but that probably just means Golf has got common, not that Soccer is posh;)

Loads of flags bunting etc in my estate and on my house and car.

So not quite the patriotic Croat your sig implies then?

Funny that.

Its as common as mook, and I'm as posh as fook, so no.

Though it is has its advantages in making it easier to spot the lotto winners and tax dodgers living in the professional classes areas :P

The people in blackrock should start showing a bit of support for there country!

Showing it to whom? Who does it benefit? I'm sure they will be shouting at the telly just as loudly as we get hockeyed by Spain and Italy, or limp out of the tournament with some sort of 'moral victory' (i.e. a defeat or draw).

It looks like the bandwagon sports fans will be staying with the rugby provinces for a while yet.
