He shouldn't be so harsh on himself by calling himself one of the ugliest people in the world though.

No wonder Sarah Annabelle loves cosmetic surgery and Brown Thomas, she looks like Miss Piggy after a bottle of brandy. Shes taken 100 vacuous selfies but has finally got one to put on Instagram. Shes trying to bag a rich husband, Paddy in France whos one of the greatest fans in the world. He cant believe the French moths arent interested. He needs 10 pints to approach and thought they would like the smell of garlic from his breath. He can't believe his gym selfies, sunbeds and bandana from Forbidden Fruit have failed him. What went wrong he asks could it be my incredibly dull personality. No way he says, I'm one of the greatest fans in the world, time to sink 10 more pints

Ah man don't hold back, tell us what you really feel! Spitting straight fire there! Some of these posts are mental but you have to love the conviction and sheer vitriol in them. Keep it up, entertains the life out of me ha.

It's not necessarily a criticism of the people themselves as the media outlets that keep showing us footage under titles like, Look what amazing thing Irish fans are doing.

Agree with this, its mainly a media led thing. Here's an article from balls

In Ireland there aren’t many things that we like more than being considered generally great craic, particularly when it’s other countries making that claim.

The delightfully hip Vice Sports, or rather the German version of the website, has sat up and taken notice of the Irish travelling support in France and, more specifically, the '**** Euros Flags' which will be displayed with 'honour' throughout Ireland's participation in the tournament (and probably long after we're gone, if we're being honest).

You may recall that during our abject failure at the last Euros, German fans referred to us as 'the European Champions of the Heart' and, while that's all well and good, we'd probably still prefer to be the European Champions at football. Either way the Germans seem to have forgotten/never really cared what Shane Long did for German/Irish relations in the Aviva last October.

that's pretty cringworthy tbh. I've no problems with fans enjoying themselves but the media spin the narrative into 'schure aren't we just great, give us a pat on the head'.

I like the Spanish and Italians. Genuinely deserve the crown more.

Alot of bitter people on their barstools in here

I don't see the harm in it. And it shows up the Russian and English d*ckery even more harshly. Revelation: you don't need to kick someone's head in to have a good time.

The only thing I would ban the Irish fans from doing is singing the &*%$£$!! Fields of Athenry, because I hate it.

Nope, in our armchairs working on our ass groves. Now all I need is four beers and my conversation hat.

I'm... fairly sure that fans of all the participating countries (inc. the nations with a minority of troublemakers) know this.

Some joker on the radio yesterday giving out about supporters on the dole skiving off to the Euros while he works 60 hours a week to put food on the table.

Amazing how the Irish wreck Australia when they go there and they are the best behaved in the world supporting soccer.

Irish fans are nowhere near the best fans in the World. They might be the best event junkies in the world. There are obviously some genuine fans, but the vast majority are not and really don't give a crap about how the team does, they are just there for the session, which is fair enough, but should not be confused with being a genuine fan.

The best example of this was in Poland at the last European championships when Irish fans were congratulating themselves for singing in spite of being 4-0 down and having performed abysmally in that tournament.
Where was the hurt and disappointment?
I was in Croke Park in 2012 for the All-Ireland semi-final when Kilkenny hammered Tipp. There weren't any Tipp fans singing during the second half of that game. All I saw was anger, hurt and disappointment. There was hardly a word said in the pubs afterwards or a smile raised.

You wouldnt have been much of a fan if it took you until the 3rd game with Spain to realize that things were going badly!

Were fans suppose to starting pouting when spain ripped apart?

The performance would have annoyed me if I gave a damn about the soccer team. But I don't so I would have happily joined in the singing had I been there.

If everybody that hates Irish people could just leave Ireland, that would be great.

The tabloids are going a bit ott with their 'best fans in the world' carry on.

A sample from today Irish Mirror website.

"Irish fan loses ticket to Sweden game moments after saving man's life - but what happened next is unreal"

"Euro 2016: Bordeaux the new home for partying Green Army"

"Republic of Ireland fans at Euro 2016 hijack live Hungarian TV report in truly epic style"

Sure tis all the GAA lads doing the damage down in Oz.
You know it's them from their County jerseys and their club jerseys, heaven forbid someone doesn't know they play for Ballybofin's 6th team.

:pac:

So... nobody on this thread then?

Criticising a handful of Irish people =/= hating Irish people.

But you knew that.

Watch this charming video of Irish fans serenading a nun on a train.

No thanks, I have to go and punch myself in the face instead.

So the irish are the best fans in the world because their not causing trouble and having the craic

but isn't thats what they're suppose to do anyway, no different from the Swedes, Icelandic, Spanish, Portuguese, Welsh etc etc

all this self-backslapping is getting nauseating

Come off it. Every Irish football fan is being portrayed as a dumb cnut.
