Euro Irish banter are you bored of it yet?

_Kaiser_

I tell ya what I'm sick of... Apres bloody Match.

It was never that funny to begin with (but then I'm not a big fan of paddywhackery anyway) but it'a long past its sell by date at this stage IMO

So fair enough, you're finding it cringey, but there is a good chance that the "you love me" attitude will actually boost French people's enthusiasm for coming over to Ireland, so it's not all that bad.

The poor french must have no idea Ireland is the toilet of Europe. They will get a shock when they land into this kip, it makes Zimbabwe look appealing. As for the people in it, more like sheep than human beings. But as long as they rub Paddys belly give him his pork chop and can of guinness, they will have no problems

There seems to be quite a few variations on this, so you might have to
tweak it so it sounds like you want it.

I would have agreed in the past, Mountainsandh, but I think Irish people acting the eejit abroad is starting to tick people off, e.g. in Australia and the U.S./Canada. There wouldn't be the same droves of Irish people emigrating to France.
I love that we, as a people, can have a great laugh and have no pretensions about us, and find humour in sombre situations and can take the piss out of each other in a good-natured way, etc - but then there is going too far and acting the public nuisance, and that truly lets us down unfortunately. I'm not talking about the Ireland supporters in France as they appear to be behaving themselves (although I'd say they make a hell of a racket at night) - I just mean in relation to how our general perception is becoming internationally.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but that's mostly English speaking countries, and like you said, it doesn't really apply here in this situation. What you're saying is more in relation to emigration, and to be honest, I think it is diluted enough in Europe that there's generally no issue with the Irish getting a bad reputation. Certainly, most people in France are well aware that the Irish drink heavily, but we had the same image of the Irish in the 90s when I was in college.

I know I have 3 young nephews (from 15 yo to 23) who certainly won't get a chance to get sick and tired of the Oirish banter. They'll just think the Irish are brilliant for harmless craic.

You are seriously talking to the most uninterested French female in the land of Ireland, and quite possibly spanning over France too.

I mean, seriously.

"I was blissfully unaware, playing Irish trad music in a session somewhere in Ireland when the French were winning" kind of uninterested.

The kind that when Irish people say : "Good one last night, pity about the penalty" I go in a minions "whahhh ?" mode.

The self loathing on this site really is something else at times.

The media over do it sometimes in their coverage but I'd rather have it, warts and all. Football is a broad church and it contains a lot of people of many different stripes and as irritatingly banterrific as it can get, I'll still rather have it over the anodyne corporate Rugby fakery.

PistolsAtDawn

Best fans in the world me arse, god I cringe every time I see Irish people desperately trying be "mad lads" in front of foreigners.

How come all these clowns act the same, dress the same, talk the same etc... Whatever happened to individualism, are they that devoid of a sense of personal identity that self worth is only attained when acting like the collective?

This quote from Arthur Schopenhauer springs to mind:
“Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.”

He apparently shi-t down his shorts after 3 pints, but hes happy as long as some English get battered and his Instagram vid gets 30 likes

This reveling at the thought of English fellas getting the sh1t kicked out of them by Russian scum is pretty nasty alright.

They might not be so welcome over there anymore they next time they make the trip to Anfield or Old Trafford.

People liking the idea of hooligans getting the **** kicked out of them is hardly nasty - not that I like the idea of anyone getting the **** kicked out of them, but it's silly to pretend they're innocent and that they would not share the same glee themselves over others getting the **** kicked out of them.

Paddy thinks the "English are scum" and their fans all deserve to assaulted with weapons by psycho Russians. But he cant see the irony in living in London or wearing his Liverpool jersey to training

"**** the English" Paddy says, just let me have their jobs money and football teams

Nonsense, innocent English fans were mostly getting targetted. One man minding his business was half beaten to death with Iron bars by Russians and only for Police doing CPR he didnt die, now has brain damage and is in a coma. The video is even on youtube and pics in the media

But the Joe.ie brigade all had a good laugh and say he deserved it cos hes English. Fckwits will fly over to Old Trafford and curse the English at the same time, I know sound English lads who arent too happy reading some of the filth online from the Joe.ie Ole Ole greatest fans ever

Ok well I agree there - I was only referring to the England supporters who are being violent twits also.

The Irish are the opposite of the master race. Really the ugliest people in the world

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

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'.
