    Remember. If you are not joining in the mass self congratulatory circle jerk and cheerleading like every other one of the cheeky nandos , clap when the plane lands brigade you are a begrudger.

    Counter debate is shouted down by the "Confused.com", "that'll do pig" , "sure it'd be rude not to" , click bait website subscribing disciple.



    I have never seen a nation to pat itself on the back for being "sound" more than this one.

    Crowd surfing blocking traffic, being a general pain in the arse is de rigeur , but sure it's all only banter.

    I have my shoe off and held aloft as I type this, in solidarity with these extremely fun , enviable, morally incorruptable people.

    I'm off to find a statue I can climb or a garden to urinate in , but don't persecute me, I have an inflatable hammer and am adorned in an ironic retro shamrock t-shirt .

    I'm really enjoying the Euros but I'm finding all the "Look at what great fans we are" videos and stories on social media a bit much at this stage. There's some so self-regarding and vaguely patronising about them.

    There's been a false dichotomy put forward on this thread a few times "At least they're not rioting!!!" It's not either or. I'm enjoying the Euros but the saturation coverage of the Irish fans doing various thing is OTT and a tad embarrasing, IMO.

    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".

    Predictable reply - I didn't bring it up unprovoked - I was literally asked: "What are your hobbies?" by someone who said I must be boring because I don't like football. Should I avoid the question? Should I have just said I'm a hermit & keyboard warrior living in my Mam's basement, as was implied?

    And I never claimed to be cool. I do what I enjoy, whether it's popular or not I don't care - I don't think about whether it's cool to do it. Take some acid and rip along in the cool outdoor breeze at 70mph on Nemesis in Alton Towers and tell me it's not the best rush in the world when peaking on LSD. It's literally the definition of bliss.

    Some people enjoy jumping on bandwagons & following a large crowd, waving at TV cameras, slapping the sides of buses, having the bants & craic in public places, singing crap inaudible songs, taking selfies - and some of us enjoy other things. This fact obviously seems to confuse football fans ITT, who have stated numerous times "you must be fun at parties" or "you're a snotty boring hermit".

    You come across as a snotty boring hermit because you act incredibly condescending towards a large portion of people. You can almost smell the smugness coming from your posts.

    Yeah tournaments are great craic, especially for people that are mad about football. I assume you go to music festivals? There's no real difference. The only difference is that you act like you are somehow better than the people enjoying themselves in France which is pathetic.

    I'm a huge fan of the Ireland team and always have been. There's a lot of negative threads on this site though about the fans, what's up with that? I admit I was a little peeved with the stupid flags adorned with Father Ted refs and other nonsense, but once the game started yesterday, I can't remember seeing us playing such great football in any tournament it was a joy to behold (until we scored!). I'm currently in Spain and not reading the Journal and this joe.ie people keep mentioning so I haven't been watching the 1000s of clips I'm sure fans are uploading. They're pretty easy to avoid though folks! So far I'm loving having Ireland in the tournament, just enjoy it for what it is - I was also delighted I didn't spot any of the silly flags at the game, except "Dail Bar on Tour", which I kind of liked, and I think I saw it at the last tournament :)
    Anyway, let's hope we smash the Belgians, bunch of Divas that they are! They'll be no match for Lionel Wessi and the boys :)

    Well, I don't anyone is complaining about the team and the football they played. And I'm sure most of the fans are grand. But the media reporting and the antics of some of the fans are not to some people's taste. It doesn't make us minus craic and, let's face it, craic means different things to different people! I mean, you said you find the Father Ted refs overkill. Well, to others, some other Irish fan antics aren't to their taste.
