    Never been so proud to be Irish as to know Irish people are blocking the streets of a foreign city because they decide to do Rock The Boat during the day.

    Fück the begrudgers is right. No non-Irish person in the world is capable of enjoying themselves. We are just incredible. How would the world get by without us?

    I was sick of the banter videos at the start and when we lost to Belgium I was even more sick of them, but the fans were great against Italy and again tonight. I'm pretty bloody upset now, can't shake the feeling. Feels like that sad feeling realising you'll never see your holiday romance again, in the 90s, back before you could keep in touch over email and facebook and realise over time it would never have worked anyway...

    some people are just big black pools of negativity best off avoided at all costs. You can spot them a mile off.

    Ah that's part of it, so what if they are a bit cringey?

    We'd have more to give out about if they were pelting the police and other fans with bottles and setting fire to the place.

    My cousin to me on FB today: "A friend of mine was in Bordeaux and looks like she did 12 rounds with Mike Tyson cos "the best fans in the world" were randomly throwing wine bottles into crowds and she got one in the face."

    "COYBIG, low lie the fields of Athenry, we're all part of Jackies army..........!"

    If they'd had any indication before the tournament that Ireland mightn't win it, they could have stayed at home and saved some money. They must be raging. :mad:

    It really was, there's nothing like it. For me as someone who remembers watching Euro 88, even today and this morning before the game it was that feeling I used to get as a kid on Christmas Eve. I feel pretty emotional still, bah, need to snap out of it!

    They did so well. Really redeemed themselves. And it was a better second round match than any of Saturday's snoozefests.

    Bordeaux? The match was in Lyon. The waffle you've come out with on this thread is pathetic.

    Ireland's second game was in Bordeaux. :confused: She may only be back from there from a few days, probably had a little holiday there afterwards.

    Like, seriously, how could you not work out that I was talking about the second game in Bordeaux? :confused: How would anyone who has followed the Irish team for the last few weeks look at my post and think "Ha! You're wrong! They last played in Lyon!". Everyone following it knows where they played their four games.

    Now, it's up to you whether you believe me or not, but please engage your brain before writing a retort.

    I love this one. How in the hell is anyone in attendance going to know who's there for the first time? How? Answer that for me will ya? Are you forced to wear a badge or L-plates or something. Absolute bullsh*t of the highest order.

    A video on BBC tonight showing Irish fans cleaning up,and sweeping around some green area in Paris.

    Placing all the rubbish in neat piles,the little angels.

    Absolutely cringeworthy,the news commentators were having a giggle.

    And to boot,its lucky that the Parisian refuse collectors and street cleaners did not come across a load of paddies doing their jobs.

    Because the city council would have hired the fans instead of them?

    Absolutely zero details in that article. I have no tolerance for football hooliganism but would prefer more than a vague article like that before condemning the guy or Irish fans in general.

    As for the medal, meh. I was there for all four games. Don't particularly feel the need to be rewarded for not being a dickhead. At halftime in Lyon I was almost shellshocked and really starting to believe we'd be in France for a bit longer. Nice gesture though.

    So 100% of all Irish football fans arrested are guilty of hooliganism!

    Icelandic fans were the best imo.......but they're not looking for any recognition are they ?

    and why should they ? they just behaved themselves like 99% of fans at the euros

    I imagine it will be hard for returning Irish supporters to adapt to a routine where denting car roofs, nationalism and getting drunk won't garner awards and blanket Joe.ie coverage.

    Maybe it will become a recognised psychological syndrome. I suggest Post Affirmation Surfeit Traumatic Syndrome.

    I can't magine another sport feeling the need for 'best fans' rubbish.

    I like football, and watched a lot of the Euros. But the Swedes, Iceland, Austrians, Italians, Spaniards.......etc supporters were all great. A few countries, mainly the Russians, were the disgrace.

    I don't see the need to grade the Irish over the Iceland fans for instance siimply because they weren't cleaning rubbish off streets type bullshi!.

    Hope this helps.
