Any practical advice for our colleagues heading to the euros?

Mint Aero

This isn't a sports thread so calm down with yer charters.

As you may know the "lads" will be heading to the euros and no doubt once again they will be the centre of attention over there. :rolleyes:

So lets try to be in the limelight for good reasons for once. My tips:

Sticking it to Enda & Merkel about your unemployment by desecrating our nations flag is embarrassing.

Leave the croatian breastfeeding to the college lads. No one wants to see the 30 somethings who've morphed back to looking like babies with round bald heads and round beer bellies do this.

Serenading the good looking female police officer with your gutteral hooligan chants has been done to death.

Don't throw your toys out of the pram when Roy Keane calls you a muppet for acting like a muppet. Follow keano's word for he is the gospel.

Any other advice for the "lads" AH?

Washington Irving

Lighten up

mickrock

Score as many goals as possible.

Try not to spend all the Dole money

log.lady

Stay away from the overly drunk bands of other countries' supporters so you don't end up in fights...I am sure we'll see some embarrassing brawls from the usual suspects but it shouldn't be us!

Icaras

What goes on tour stays on tour....except gonorrhea.

Dont ask for a french stick in the shops,they just call it...lé stick

murpho999

Ignore begrudging internet posters and go enjoy themselves and have a laugh with out causing trouble like some other countries 'fans' can.

Zombienosh

Over there they call it a "Royale with Cheese"

The King of Moo

Don't forget to have a bitta craic shure, bitta banter with the lads, unreal like, sound yeah.

Also, pubs will be crap as they don't do pubs, and most of the ones you will find will be awful Irish pubs with English fans fighting outside.

And learn a few simple French phrases, the locals will really appreciate it.

Try not to embarrass us too much, it's not much to ask, but I expect to be disappointed.

suicide_circus

In case you get separated from your travelling companions, have a pre arranged code phrase that you can shout out in order to find eachother in a crowd. I suggest something like "ALLAHU AKBAR!"

Nidgeweasel

So this is where all the uber cool gang hang out.

The King of Moo

Aw man it'll be savage like, literally get a few slabs in like, sound.

whiskeyman

Wear sunscreen

Point of order, yer man who was licking the nipple was a skinny, young lad with a head of hair. And I applaud him for his actions.

The_Valeyard

Bring me back a present or there will be war.

Swot up on a random Irish football team on Wikipedia before you go to avoid the confused, embarrassed silence that occurs when a supporter from England/Germany/Spain etc compliments your dazzling triclour outfit, asks you who you support, and you say Chelsea.

Bring baby wipes

Store your toilet paper in a freezer or cooler box.

What do you suggest otherwise? Stay at home and type on our keyboards ad nauseam?

I can't wait to head over myself. I'll sing whatever I like. And take my shoes off if the mood takes me.

Grand, hope it goes great for everyone going. Just a pity Ireland fans have such crap songs (same in rugby).

Nothing better then the Irish fans, the English ones cause fights... the Irish ones sing. Enjoy boys and bring some silverware back!
