That would have been a much better idea. Nothing to beat racism like embracing black culture with a rap battle between John and Bastian

Anthems sound the same almost played like that.

Prick!

Why don't they up the sound of the crowd? Sounds dead, more mics wouldn't do any harm.

The Germans are massive

Anyone

Thought I had the Scotland game on my accident

Not meaning to knock the band but the anthems sounded dire played like that, Germans especially

1-1 draw I am very hopeful

Per has been very good this season, clueless isn't the word for the panel!

I hadn't realised that Vermaelen underhitting a pass was Mertesacker's fault.

Nice tribute

I'm on a German forum at the same time, they did like the bagpipes

Did Hamilton just call him "John O'Shít"?

Agreed, it sounded horrible and their fans couldnt keep time with it. Embarrassing tbh.

Germans already making a lot of noise

And Whelan called Fahey, Keith Fatty just now

There's a market for kitschy Irish/'Celtic' stuff in Germany. They probably enjoyed it for the different take on the anthem that it was.

Stunning start

5 mins in and we are still level. Improvement from summer...

Blow it up ref ffs!

Yeah, saw a load of them coming out of "Carrolls" in town today. Looked like they took half the shop out with them! A great bunch of lads.

Encouraging start by Ireland.

Could be as well a genuine appreciation to the band itself.

All the Germans standing in the Havelock end! Fair fcuks to them, I'd say it's about 15 times smaller than the Südtribüne terrace in Dortmunds ground. The Aviva that is.

Man I would love a pork schnitzel right now. Starving. Genuinely. I am not looking for an omelette!

Mad stat before the game....Germany have never lost an away game in World Cup Qualifiers.

German fans are class, every other major league should look at the bundesliga for an example of how to create a proper fan experience.

Sudtribune is amazing fwiw

One of the cats robbed the last one on me, when I got another can of beer out of the fridge. Sorry about that

Yeah, and did you know, Darren O'Dea plays his club football with Toronto FC? It's true, look it up. RTE also told me about 17 times already.

Incidentally, that was a class little touch by Muller there as he as off balance.

delad

Ireland are actually trying to play football, this is incredible

Amirani

I'm impressed so far in terms of how we're set up. 3 man midfield suits us a lot more against good opposition.

Watch this lead to a 'heroic' 2-0 or 3-1 defeat and for us to revert to antifootball against the Faroes

Had a season ticket between 1985 and 2004 for the Sudtribune, it's like the 12th man :cool:

But you can't compare the fans of the league clubs with those following the national team. You have to be a registered 'DFB Fanclub' supporter to gain access to away tickets, so they only have the very nice ones travelling

of course we are going to lose, we are playing the best team in the world right now, but by playing attacking positive football, our loss will be much less than if we play long ball football and give them all the possession. If we played how we usually do we would lose by at least 6 goals against this team.
