Got hammered , 2 of them got stabbed to death!! Oh no they whipped out the lad and mocked a piece of garment? That mean they deserve to be murdered by some animal? The difference in Dublin was nobody was killed. The Turks and their "welcoming nature" have collapsed their Tourist industry and now they want to jump aboard the EU gravy train

Would you ever give your arse a chance, for fuck's sake.
I didn't say they deserved anything but once again you took it upon yourself to infer something like that. Not only that but you try to trivialise what they did and paint the Turks as savages.
They went to a muslim country and went out of their way to insult in the worst possible way the locals and you try to say it was nothing more than a bit of harmless fun? Get real!

Maybe you just let insults and the sullying of what people refer to as their "honour" just roll off you but there are plenty of people out there who take it very seriously. If you spread a rumour that some Italian guy's daughter or sister was the village whore I wouldn't give much for your chances of living much longer. Likewise with many southern and east european nationalities. I mightn't condone the fate that befalls you but I'd ask if you weren't 100% innocent in bringing it upon yourself.

And of course you could always just trivialise your insults as a bit of jesting as the guy pulled the trigger.

Leeds fans got hammered in Istanbul some years ago because they waved their dicks at Turkish women and desecrated a Turkish flag. That is a massive national insult.

The English police who travelled with Leeds fans said that claims about the flag were simply not true. Tbh, not sure where the "waving dicks" thing comes in, you have a link or source?

They and about 25 others were attacked by up to 500 Galatasary fans.

Yeah as far as Im concerned if a Man brutally stabs 2 people to death over a Flag, he is a savage. I think most sane people would agree with that. Go on justify it some more why 2 families lives were destroyed, because some subhuman scum cant control himself.

You hate the English just admit it, how a fellow football fan can justify the Leeds murders beggars belief. Maybe they should have took a diversity class before visiting Turkey. Those poor Turkish the Nasty English belittled their flag. Oh theyre Muslims they must be the victims woe is me, we're oppressed wa wa wa. Take your head out from wherever it is. 2 Fans killed over **** all, stop justifying it because of your warped Politics

Good idea posting it here to get them more clicks. That'll show them.

Do you have any concept of scale or relativity? They already have 2500 FB shares, which is probably around 25k views - so far.
I somehow doubt 7 or 8 more views from a Boards thread will make or break them.

Donald Trump pollutes my newspaper everyday and has done so for the last year but I'm not on here whinging about it daily as that would be a total waste of my time. I just ignore those stories and articles.
The fact some people are totally unable to change the channel, to ignore the websites, stories and articles that seem to be needlessly p!ssing them off whilst turning them into a bag of wasted rotten lemons is the actual pathetic showcase going on here.

So tell me how come you don't ignore the wasted rotten lemons instead of whinging about them on here?

It's kind of impossible to ignore the Irish fans are the greatest fiasco, every paper and radio station are harping on about it even the RTE news go on about it.

It's like when a concert is on and the artist says 'I love you Dublin' and all the daft members of the crowd go wild. They don't really realise that they shouted 'I love you Liverpool' the night before.

I just don't see why we crave others approval. It's really daft

This happens in every city in the world. It is not an Irish thing. You are really clutching at straws here.

Dont like it??! YOU wanted this, and now time to take the fallout

Be careful what you wish for it might just come true

Some people are materialistic/shallow/vain (mostly younger people who grow out of it), some are not. This is hardly new, and hardly exclusive to Ireland.

Little piece of advice: when everyone's the problem, you're the problem.

I remember when this tournament was good, 8 teams with high quality football. They diluted the quality with 16 teams but then 24 teams is a joke of a tournament, i'm not going to look at it until the quarter finals.

You're a real piece of work, you know that. Stamp your feet in outrage and dig your hole deeper and deeper and try to accuse me of justifying murders. Then throw a few more fits and brain farts and the infantile "wa wa" nonsense.

Go back through the posts and find where I justified the murder and when you can't find it, then retract it, ok?

Why do you insist on saying that I am justifying the guys getting stabbed? And then you go and try to bring emotion into it talking about the "shattered lives" of their families in a shabby attempt at tugging on heart strings.

Irish fans are nowhere near the best fans in the World. They might be the best event junkies in the world. There are obviously some genuine fans, but the vast majority are not and really don't give a crap about how the team does, they are just there for the session, which is fair enough, but should not be confused with being a genuine fan.

The best example of this was in Poland at the last European championships when Irish fans were congratulating themselves for singing in spite of being 4-0 down and having performed abysmally in that tournament.
Where was the hurt and disappointment?
I was in Croke Park in 2012 for the All-Ireland semi-final when Kilkenny hammered Tipp. There weren't any Tipp fans singing during the second half of that game. All I saw was anger, hurt and disappointment. There was hardly a word said in the pubs afterwards or a smile raised.

I couldn't disagree more with this. You seem to think that in order to be a 'genuine fan' you must go to a pub and look sorry and disappointed for your loss. There is nothing wrong with being dissappointed but also singing to get behind your team. Case in point- was at an Argentina Brazil game which Argentina lost 3-1 at home. Every time the Brazilians scored the Argentinians reacted by singing even louder in support of their team. Flick to 5m47s and you'll see what genuine fans are really made of

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRwrxr14u8M

Our fans did the exact same in 2012 when we were 4-0. They got behind the team no matter what and I think thats admirable. Its certainly much better than some in the GAA crowd who think going to a pub and crying into pints makes you a 'genuine fan'

Do the people who write those lists and ridiculous articles actually get paid? I can only think they're journalism students or interns?

As has been said already, Spanish, Icelandic, Swedes etc, they have been fine and equally in good spirits, but all I keep hearing is 'we' are 'nothing like the english' our whole image is based on this antithesis of what a small proportion of English are doing.

I hope they're not being paid for it. Any journalism student writing that crap should give up and find a new career path.

They get paid a (very) basic wage and then their bonus is based on how many clicks the articles they wrote got. More click=more ads displayed=more revenue.
Which is why the headline is often click bait, each individual writer needs to reel you in with clicks so they can get their bonus and the site can display more ads.

I never knew that - it makes perfect sense. Its a pity journalism has had to morph to that extent to survive as a profession. I don't blame the individual journalists - they have to eat - but it seems a bit distasteful as a means of disseminating news.

Best avoided in future.
