    Signed.

    I hate seeing any club jersies at international football, not just foreign ones.

    Wasn''t myself, but i'd happily take credit for it if it was. Can't stand the Kell-tick brigade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,077 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Until the sponsor goes on the replica shirts I'll be wearing my Ireland tracksuit top (well, whenever I get home that is).

    Down with the Sell-Thick brigade anyway.

    Wasnt me...but i agree with it.

    I wouldnt wear a gers top to a scotland game.
    I wouldnt wear a Finn Harps top to an ireland game.
    And theyre teams from the same country.

    I certainly wouldnt wear a foreign teams top to a national game

    Really? You wouldn't wear a shels top?

    Its clearly someone on a wind up, but I have no objection to anyone brightnening the place up with green and white shirts of any persuasion.

    Why not pick on the red and blue foreign shirts that get worn before picking on the green and white ones?

    If I ever start going to Oirland games again, I wouldn't be wearing a Shels jersey, no.

    Meh, all the same to me. ManYoo, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Celtic, Rangers, Bayern Munich, Cameroon, Sparta Prague.

    All foreign teams.

    What will be really hilarious is when these Home Internationals start again, and there are numpties in the stands, "supporting" Ireland against Scotland, but wearing a Celtic jersey.

    OhNoIDidnt
    We, the signatories of this petition, are requesting that Football Association of Ireland ask fans of the Republic to only wear the Republic of Ireland shirts and regalia at
    international matches.

    Why do some fans wear the shirts of a foreign team at Ireland football matches? Are they ashamed of the Irish jersey? I'd imagine that if someone turned up at an England match in a Barcelona shirt, they'd be laughed at by all the other fans. Similarly, if some supporter of les bleus was seen sporting a Bayern Munich or Ajax jersey at a match involving France, he'd be treated with the appropriate contempt.

    So why should some Irish fans be different? I'm referring of course to those fans who wear Glasgow Celtic shirts at Republic of Ireland matches. Glasgow Celtic is a Scottish team with some obsolete links to Ireland that are no longer relevant. That in itself would be of little consequence were it not for the fact that Glasgow Celtic's fans comprise one half of a low level Catholic versus Protestant bigotry that has been rumbling in Scottish
    society for centuries.

    Given the history of this country and island, it should be obvious that any association between Irishness and either side in this sectarianism would be very prejudicial to support levels for the team. There is a well documented
    problem in Northern Ireland where Roman Catholics don't feel welcome at Windsor Park. We don't need to have the same problem down here where the Republic of Ireland team becomes identified with Catholicism. So I'm calling
    on the Football Association of Ireland to respectfully ask fans of the Republic


    for whoever cant see it.

    Imagine the cheek of some people wearing a jersey from a club started by a Sligo priest to help Irish emigrants abroad.

    Who I am sure would be turning in his grave if he saw some of the type of people who 'support' his club.

    So you would have no problem if I turned up to the next Ireland match:

    - wearing my Panitanikos jersey;
    - my notre dame football jersies or hoodies;
    - my Boston Celtics jersey;

    all sporting institutions with some tenuous link to the idea of Irishness and modern Ireland. Or would you find some of the above a little strange?

    Wearing no jersey is better than a celtic jersey imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    Wearing no jersey is the way forward.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,985 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    Signed it myself. Although I'm a bit of a hypocrite as I wear my Shels jersey to matches since last summer as now some Portguese scumbag has my Ireland jersey.:mad: But I suppose wearing a Shels jersey isn't half as bad as a Man U, Liverpool, Celtic, etc... jerseries.

    Nope I'd have no problem at all. In fact anyone wearing anything green to support there country is fine with me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    do you think the players look at the crowd and say, look that lad is wearing a green jumper, i must try harder?!

    That's ridiculous. So a person wearing a Boston Celtics top is supporting their country more than the lad in the Bohs jersey?

    I do to an extent agree with what CC is saying in terms of colour.
    Its always a better spectacle when the crowd is decked out in the teams colours.

    The more people at games supporting Ireland the better, regardless of what there wearing

    I always wear my Rovers shirt to Ireland games and will continue to do so until I can buy an Ireland jersey without an eircom logo.-
