Where's any sign of trouble, or are you just hoping?

There's always hope.

Though there's more Gards there than punters.

You're probably more likely to get trouble from the average drunk Irish Temple Bar-goer than England fans there.

Paddy Power offering 11/4 for more than ten brits to be arrested.
I reckon the it will be a quiet affair, on and off the field.

I was very proud of the An Garda Síochána when they battered the fuck out of the English 'fans' in Lansdowne Road 20 years ago. Very proud indeed.

Well in that case I hope the guards have stocked up on their REALLY big sticks for the weekend.

Never really get this stuff lauding the gardai for bashing the English in Landsdowne that time. Don't give a fcuk about the English/C-18/NF/Linfied mobs getting s hiding but they battered anybody that came out from the away end that night , even scarfers. It was a policing and containment failure on the part of the Gardai and FAI and the Gardai knew they could bash who they wanted because of public fervor.

The same people hgih-fiving the gardai here would be the same decrying them when they get let loose in situations like water protests where they know they have the same implicit public and Establishment approval to break heads.

No sign of the Roma head wreckers yet.

Nothing at all will happen. The vast majority of the English troublemakers are banned now.

SHOVELLER

If there's anybody who should be arrested it is the 'oirish' idiots wearing english club tops.

The mind boggles

At least if any of the Irish mobs do head in, they'd be doing something instead on **** off on an internet forum about The Brits.

Yeah but if you talk to them you'll find that their uncles probably worked over in London or Liverpool in the 70's so they've a connection. Funny how you never see Watford and Tranmere Rovers jerseys over here all the same...

Sir, please calm down. Who mentioned 'The Brits'? I guess you'll be attributing cries of '800 years this-and-that' to me next?

Really, you shouldn't equate schadenfreude as regards seeing hooligans, who caused havoc all over the European continent, getting a hiding with being some mindless, inferiority complex possessing, rebel-song singing, Guinness-stained Celtic jersey wearing anti-British caricature you're conjuring.

If by Danny Dyer you mean vicariously stroking yourself off about violence at football games, I'd be far from the worse offender in here.

Why do you persist in bringing up masturbation? 'Poetic justice' I would describe it as - unfortunate for the real fans who got caught up in it but fully deserved for those who went looking for trouble. Fuck them and everyone like them.

Proud of the fact that we declined any help from the British Police that would have avoided the entire thing? And then we decided to put them in the top tier? Terrible policing imho.

And that we sold returned away tickets to home fans.

Combat-18 got a taste of it many years back so I'd say they will be on good behaviour this time around.

They won't be here because they aren't allowed travel, but I guarantee that they consider what happened at Landsdowne as a success.

That just reads as we completely failed as a police force but at least we beat up Brits.

Of course, if we played England in Wembley and a few Irish supporters broke up the stand (in the fantastical hypothesis that the English cops couldn't police a football game properly) you'd be cool with every random Irish supporter in the away end getting their heads broken?

Were you actually at the game by the way?

Be great if after we batter them and qualify for.. another friendly (cough cough.. may not happen) someone hooked this up to the Aviva tannoy on the final whistle.

without a doubt the Gardaí and the FAI made an absolute balls of policing the game.

A lot of the England fans who were injured at the game were sitting in the lower tier and were hit by wooden seating being thrown from the upper tier.

As far as I remember the main bout of Gardaí clobbering the heads off the English lads was in front of the old west stand long after the game had been abandoned and the Irish fans were evacuated. The English lads were told to stay in the stand, some of them made a burst to leave the ground and the coppers battered them back into the stand. Anyone who left the stand at that stage was looking for trouble So all I can say is fvck 'em, they were asking for it.

Maybe, but their young recruits will make it here easily enough.

A bloody nose and a sore head isn't success.

Hmmm.. it wouldn't be cocks that would make me think of masturbating but each to their own I guess.

Brits? Havoc wreaking hooligans who tore up the stadium. Nobody mentioned 'Brits' except you.

Of course, if we played England in Wembley and a few Irish supporters broke up the stand ... you'd be cool with every random Irish supporter in the away end getting their heads broken?

Irish fans behave themselves. I only remember harsh words being spoken in Paris after that particular incident in 2009.

No.
