Again another example of how rugby fans are just have better sportsmanship no matter what country they are from

Always the way in smaller sports enjoyed by the middle classes.

Tennis and hockey have wonderful fans too.

dreadful game - but as I joked with a few English after how things have changed in 20 years - England are now my second favourite team - economically they did more for us recently than the Germans - and besides we have a lot more in common - language, good music , enjoy a good drink , football, rugby - the English are now are good friends - always have good crack with them when away , we have so much in common , that was hidden for years and throughout my youth

Because of one stupid boring 0-0 friendly in which all the scumbag English fans weren't aloud to aloud to travel they are your new second favourite team??? My god

yeah - lol - it was the Germans who pushed us to pay back money we didn't have - and didn't want make any concessions - and drove many to an early grave. Lived in England much of my life , and like any society there is the good and the bad. Some of my best mates are now English , but growing up I too was told to hate them

To be fair, the 'Sepp Blatter paid for your ground' chants were funny.

What happens to an abortion? Does it go into a medical waste bin, or a recycling bin?

My dear friend, you need to educate yourself before making such wild assumptions and accusations.

The Germans drove many to an early grave because we couldn't pay back money, seriously?

Nothing. Abortions are awesome.

English fans or 95% of them are good fans who love their country and go wherever team plays.

Far worse sets of supporters. At least the Hooligan element of English fans look to take on troublemakers rather then rather then people looking to avoid it.

Then again I have bit of English blood in me. WadIreland all the way today, even if nothing match these days.

>>It’s fair to say that England’s bore draw with Ireland in Dublin was, without a doubt, one of the most frustratingly dull matches of football in living memory.

Despite the domestic football season now officially being over, following a month of final fixtures, a much anticipated friendly between two home nations should have been enough to inspire both the players and the fans.

However, it appeared that the match would have passed many football fans by had it not been for the monotony of Sunday television, forcing viewers to endlessly flick between the channels, desperately trying to avoid Judge Judy, Top Gear and Friends re-runs.

But for those who had tuned into watching England by flicking onto ITV by accident, they would have certainly regretted that decision, such were abysmal nature of the two sides’ performance.<<

Did not miss much it seems .

english domestic season you mean. Also home nations???

So called Irish fans embarrasing themselves again booing some english player cos he wont sign a contract with their favourite english club.

More proof that the majority of football "fans" at home dont have a clue about the game.

The tension between the 2 countries is gone. It's old news at this stage and some people are not happy with that.

Was thinking about that today.

Imagine England playing Spain and thousands of England supporters booed a Spanish player because he wouldn't sign a contract for the Spanish club they all exclusively supported.

The mind boggles a bit.

Its the great paradox of Irish football fans.
Hate it when they boo ex Rangers players too.

Bout time we joined the commonwealth and got a few extra jobs and business contacts for the country too. Pity it took the English fans 20 years to learn how to behave though.

Shockingly dumb. I mean if this Sterling character announced he was signing for Liverpool at half time would the booing turn to cheering? Would they cheer if he scored.

I remember seeing an interview with an Ireland supporter and united fan who was hoping for a draw when Ireland played Denmark because he wanted Schmeichel to keep a clean sheet.

Especially when the announcer gets the name wrong and they spend the whole time booing the wrong player.

That was probably a friendly in either 2001 or 2002: http://www.11v11.com/teams/denmark/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Republic%20of%20Ireland

Yeah, hardly coming close to winning it!

There were only 8 teams in the whole of the Euros back in '88 and the knockouts were two semis and a final. In a sense it was the joint-closest they've ever come to winning.

1) The domestic season is far from over, it's not even half way through.

2) Home nation is a bit of a stretch.

Its all been a bit of an anti climax. No fights, no goals, no controversy. And the bizarre sight of raheem sterling being booed ny Irish fans. Very strange

onlyme!

theres something and nothing going on at the minute, with the guards there!

Temple Bar is populated by thousands of English visitors from one end of the year to another.

As is many towns and city's in Ireland.

Looking at the screen grabs below it looks as if the Gaurds have been there for a few hours now. Just a precaution I reckons

Guards have been out in force all day. Nothing out of the ordinary for them other than confiscating flags and banners from home fans at the whim of John Delaney

VinLieger

2 vans and 8 mounted patrol just went through :eek:

Walked through there bout 8.probably 50 - 100 england fans outside a pub, well on but just singing.plenty uniformed guards about, few guards on horse back, 2 guards with dogs, lots or marked and unmarked vans with riot squad in back. Went for a bite to eat and when leaving the riot squad and a big paddy wagen were taking a walk through.id say just making their presence felt. Id imagine english police would be keeping them informed of any known trouble makers if any were in the area.

And why not seeing as home fans typically have no respect for the flag to begin with.

Following their team all over the world playing that type of scutter for the last 50 years they're well used to it.

people died cause of the recession - people i know - so less of the patronising ****e - Germany did us little favours in our time of economic need , they wanted all debt payed to there precocious bankers & investors . Obviously they weren't solely to blame , but the British were much better friends to us in our time of economic need

Wacker The Attacker

I've just left the oval pub in Dublin with my mate and received a very important lesson.


Apparently Roy Hodgson is taking his team to Paris and Britain never surrendered to the IRA.
