    Dry ****e, High horses who act like their poop don't stink out in force who begrudge anyone having a good time and look down on them with their beaky noses cause they think there better them when in fact their lives are as exciting as watching paint dry.

    Everyone's life is boring and just lol if you think that getting scuttered and acting the tit and being a nuisance makes you interesting.

    Bonus points for "dry ****e". The worst insult an Irish person can think of to call another Irish person :pac:

    No, just the truth. People looking down on others because they think there better than them. Your posts on this thread show this.

    Never said it makes you interesting. Just begrudgers giving out about people having fun. It mighn't be how you like to live your life but looking down on others is not a great trait to have.

    "Irish fans are very good little boys and cleaned up after themselves after they went on a really scary fast aeroplane to watch the big boys soccer team have fun playing a game".

    It's adorable.

    I am finding these live pictures on sky news of hooligans skirmishing far most entertaining that the football matches. But that wouldn't be hard.

    Ah but there are some people who, despite being Irish, have a go at Irish people in general (apart from themselves) - "Paddy this" and "Paddy that". It's cringey too how superior they think they are. As annoying as the Ireland fans acting the eejit stereotype in my opinion.

    It probably wasn't accurate for me to say "nobody" but the number of people on-thread who fall into the above-category are minimal from what I can see.

    Of course, they'll be cute enough to keep it outside the stadium to avoid sanctions. But I guess that's good for all the non-troublemaking English fans.

    Mortifying. The thing is though, they know their audience! All the posts I've seen on FB in the last few days about the fans have tens and hundreds of comments underneath lapping this shít up! I haven't actually seen any dissenting comments. The stories exist because it's what a sizeable portion of people want to see, for whatever reason.

    I think some of it is begrudgery but there is definitely some deserved annoyance among fans who go to most games week in and week out and don't get any talking up yet these guys do it once a decade on the p*ss and are the second coming. Meanwhile clubs here go to the wall e.g. Monaghan Utd in 2012 while Delaney sang and danced and Athlone now look done.

    This pic sums up what they're feeling.

    They've no right declaring themselves as the greatest fans in the world when the domestic league struggles to keep it's head above water. The Spanish, Italians, French, German, English etc are all better in this regard.

    This is a one off big trip but it would be great if on their return these fans could get themselves down to an LOI match on a Friday night. They'd really love it, just give it a chance if you have a side in your locality.

    I remember working at an art event. I was talking to the stage director. One of the artists involved came up and said he'd be away for a few hours to take a break and get some food and have a few beers. The stage director asked where he was going. He said he'd be in a particular bar getting a steak and watching the Liverpool match. I said Liverpool were in with a good chance, but they'd miss having a particular player that was injured at the time. I am not a football fan, my mother watches it when she can and my brother makes time to watch. This injury was in the news and my football fan friends talked about it a lot, so this was your basic pleasantries for me. Me and the artist talked about it a bit. Then he headed off. The stage manager told me after the artist hates football and sports, and thinks their fans are moronic. That he was taking the piss.

    I was talking to another artist involved later. He is nationally famous, and would be well known in his field around Europe. He's been abroad for international matches and . I know for a fact he'd watch any sport on TV if he had some free time. We talked about the six nations.

    Maybe a lot of the people in France would be dismissive of art. I wouldn't be surprised if a fair few went to look at the Mona Lisa, or tried some Bretagne cider. I know a lot of artists who are dismissive of sports, my artist friends value sport.

    Sure isn't our very own president a lifelong fan of Galway United, a poet, a lover of sport, art and most of all a lover of all things cultural.

    Someone posted that English thugs are at it again.

    Why not? Hasn't that mammon worshipping, lily-livered organisation UEFA given its blessing to thuggery outside the stadium?
    Blatter is alive and well!

    Despite all my supposed mean spiritedness and soapboxing in this thread I will say I hope all the Irish fans over in France enjoy the Euros and most importantly get home safe. And the others too.

    It's so close-minded the way all the proles in this thread are assuming that because some people don't like football, beer, and the bants - that they have no fun - since obviously nothing else fun happens in the world besides those things.

    I go to Alton Towers & take acid - at least once a year off-peak. It's the best rush ever - peaking when going 70mph on Nemesis. Did it in Legoland Windsor too. I take acid & go hiking in Glendalough for the day. I get stoned & go rock climbing. I get stoned & record music. Do you realise some people are into other stuff that's not the usual generic "lad" pastimes (footy, lager, cars, titty mags, bants, sun/package holidays, cheeky nandos, christenings, Mrs Browns Boys, The Script, whey hey!"), yeah?

    "You don't like footy & pints? You much be a boring snotty hermit".

    Do you take drugs?

    It's not clear from your post.

    Just saying that going on the sesh once a decade or so doesn't make you a fantastic supporter. Going on away trips to non glamorous league cup ties followed by run of the mill league fixtures on a weekly basis, often in the opposite end of the country, takes a lot more dedication. It's not banterific enough to grab headlines though.

    In relation to your last line. I never said we shouldn't go to tournaments. I was there myself last time out in Poland for Euro 2012. It would be phenomenal if we could go to both rather than neither.

    Its lucky these Euros are on and Irish fans are at it, otherwise the www.independent.ie website would have nothing to report.

    Check it out, and see just how many links there are to stories of fans in France.

    Another point in the "Please vote us the fans of the tournament" competition.

    We have this wrapped up by now, surely?
    Or is there more room for hilarity, paddywhackery and generally being nice?

    I'm just back from Paris. It was some of the best fun you could have if its your thing. No one there is thinking about what LovinDublin or any other "news" outlet thinks of them.

    People giving out about the fans have no idea what the atmosphere there is like amongst the Irish and opposing fans. I didn't see a single violent incident, verbal or physical. If you think there's any reason to be negative about it id recommend getting over yourselves.

    Jesus some of ye need to lighten up sick of this miserable, begrudging, self depricating, judgemental attitude.

    The lads in France are away having the craic and mingling with our euro neighbors in a positive manner. If ye're upset by the coverage stop reading the articles and comments.

    I get the feeling some people are looking for stuff to cringe and whinge about.
