    Hello,
    I would like to thank football fans from Ireland.
    Dear Irish people, I admire your spirit, the dignity you sang "The fields of Athenray" I'm really glad we could host you in Poznan. I'll remember the Euro 2012 because of you. Respect!
    I was so happy to sing "Polska bialo-czerwoni" with you together in the Old Market.
    Thank you!

    best regards from Poznan
    - Mateusz

    Contrary to popular opinion, Ireland have not got the best fans in the world.

    I predict a load of ginger haired children being born in Poznan around Paddys day next year.

    The country that gave us Tyskie beer

    It does be flying off the shelves in Tesco

    Is that the most popular beer in Poland?

    Lech is the best of Poznan. Took a trip to the brewrey when I was there.

    I really hope that Irish people will look at Poland as a fantastic county now..cos it really is :)

    I do hate that f*ckin' song, but you'd think some of the fans would learn the rest of it and not just repeat the first verse.

    A team from the top division in Ireland had to withdraw from the league today not even half way into the season.

    At some home games they had less than one hundred fans in attendance. If you are near an Irish fan now ask them who this club is, I doubt they will know. Ask them who is currently second in the league, I doubt they will know.

    Hardly the action of the greatest fans in the world.

    To be fair, I'd rather listen to that shite on a 10 hour loop than hear 'God Save The Queen' once more.

    True for the most part, but there are a lot of serious LoI heads that also follow Ireland home and away.

    Anyway, this Mateusz chap signed up to pay us a compliment. Lets take it and wish him well. No need to get into all the nuances of Irish football with him. :)

    I understand that you have different feelings about this song, but it's nice that you remember about this, and taught us about your history.
    Very nice that so many Irish people now gathered in the Old Market in Poznan and chant: "Poles thank you"
    We were very happy to welcome you.
    yes, Tyskie is really popular :-)
    Have somebody tried "Zurek" soup? ;-)

    Yeah, I wonder if they had sang "We all dream of a team of Gary Breens" for 10 minutes at the end of the Spain game, would there be this much talk about it!

    Tried the Czech version of it. We have similar here(without the meat), except its served plain in a regular bowl instead of the bread bowl. Potato and leek soup.

    Not as good, but.

    The thread was a nice gesture from a Polish person who enjoyed the company of Irish men and women in his country. Don't be such a buzz killer
