England fans riot in Portugual, sing "F the Pope and the IRA"

Fan of Netflix

Disgracing their country once again, and now bringing out the full Rangers songbook, including "**** the Pope" which they now sing regularly. Plenty of Catholic English people out there, vile stuff more akin to their National Front days when they trashed Landsdowne road. Taking over an Irish bar and singing anti IRA songs as well. Obsessed....:rolleyes:

Nothing they do surprises me anymore. Can’t let them anywhere.
Absolute scum. No time at all for them. Booze filled, coke heads the lot of them.

I made the mistake of being in Amsterdam, and staying in the city centre, on the day this happened.

On the ground it was horrible. There were fans everywhere, they were in bits and just destroying the place.

I would honestly avoid any city that England were playing in.

Hopefully Irish fans/people don't get lumped in with these people in the eyes of the locals in future, they really have a bad rep everywhere.

Fan of Netflix

Plenty of anti German songs as well. 10 German bombers their favourite. I've been there when they were singing that in Germany even and taunting the locals. Then they wonder why the Europeans don't like em.

The English being English, plenty of f**k the queen and the UDA and ooh ahh up the ra from our own supporters in France in 2016.

Nothing to see here.

This stuff has been building up over the last few weeks. Liverpool in Barcelona, Sunderland at Trafalger Square, then the stuff in Madrid.

I aim this at Ireland fans too, going to a foreign country, taking up a square, getting absolutely pissed and leaving the place an absolute tip, is not acceptable behavior just because its a football match.

If members of our own nomadic crime Gangs went somewhere, drank all day &, night and left the place a tip, we'd be fuming. A sporting event is not an excuse.

Reporting the English being scum is like reporting that water is wet.

The Irish clean up after themselves, when there are cameras around and a few Instagram likes to be had.

As a big fan of both the Pope and the IRA, I'm pretty annoyed.

The Brexit folk on tour. Quelle Suprise.

It's in their nature, they are scumbags.

They should be removed from the tournament.

We should not be shocked either, I remember those bastards ripping up the west stand at Lansdowne road. ****.

Isn't it interesting how these clowns weren't running riot in Russia last year. They know where they can get away with acting the maggot and a mere arrest for disorder is the worst they can expect. They'd have been battered with impunity by the Russian police if they tried to kick off and funnily enough they were on their best behavior there with the only flash points being scuffles and in-fighting between other English fans.

Arghus

Why can't they be nice holligans?

Hector Savage

Yeah f-ck those fans singing anti IRA songs!

I prefer the Irish fans singing pro IRA songs!!!

You can be sure the degenerates hone in on a soft spot, and wreak havoc with abandon.

That really all you take from it? It's a bit different really. What about the anti Catholic, anti German, anti Irish songs, anti Muslim songs? They okay?

The lengths people in Ireland go to defend the English is unbelievable.

The fact the English FA, who preach tolerance and equality as much as possible, have never dealt with their disgraceful away fan base says it all. They made a big thing of Montengro fans being racist (rightly so) but give their bigoted fans a free pass.

I don't see the problem here.

"F the Pope and the IRA"

Both have caused and/or covered up awful things over the last number of decades.

El_Bee

Well the pope's not loved here much in post divorce/post abortion Ireland, especially with the low turnout on his recent visit, and the IRA were/are murderous gangsters who, like the catholic church, covered up pedophilia in their ranks, so yeah, f*ck em both.

**** the pope, is anti Catholic sectarian bigotry. The kind of rhetoric loyalists and other anti Irish bigots have revel in.

If the pope or Catholicism is what makes us Irish, we need to have a hard look at how we portray ourselves internationally.

I certainly have no issue with people having a pop at the pope or a terrorist group.

Tiny minority of them, in fairness.

Go on home, English football fans, go on home.

ban them from football matches for life.

When the they sing "**** the Pope", "Fenian Scum" and "No Surrender" and "**** the IRA" in an Irish bar they mean us. They mean Irish people. It's not really a theological thing. Do you not remember when they destroyed Landsdowne Road with the National Front and Combat 18?

Whether you're an atheist or don't like Sinn Fein is not really the point. I'm amazed people still don't grasp this.

Gimme A Pound

Detest anti Irish bigotry and hardline loyalism and the forelock tugging whatabouting apologism from some here, but yeah I don't see the issue with chanting "**** the IRA" by people in whose country the IRA committed murders. And the irony of complaining about bigotry by some English people and then calling "the English" scum.

"**** the pope" - yeah that's coming from an anti Irish Catholic place all right, but it's still just "**** the pope". Any hooligans - English or otherwise - should get a good dose of reprisal from the police, and hopefully whatever type of banning is possible.

Not really, only morons who don't know the history of the term, England fans or our country. But yes I'm sure you could curry favour with Loyalists in the North and Rangers fans in Scotland.

Seen a few English journos saying they should be banned from playing away and forfeit games until they clean house.

They didn't do anything of the sort. Broke a few wooden seats and benches that should have been thrown out a decade earlier.

A nasty bunch of sub-human vermin all the same, I really enjoyed seeing the garda riot squad getting to work on them.

Agreed and I think if Irish fans had any self-respect the next foreign match they travel to watch Ireland play in - they should be chanting "*** the UVF" in whose country the UVF committed murders

Wouldn't be into the rioting but could get on board with the songs.
F**k the pope who as head of the Catholic Church is complicit if not ultimately responsible for the covering up of thousands of cases of child sexual abuse and multiple other crimes.
**** the IRA who as a terrorist organisation is responsible for hundreds killed and thousands injured, many of those innocent bystanders.
