The game itself was fine, but before the game, all the FC Tokyo fans stood up with their scarves held above their heads, and sang along, karaoke-style, to 'You'll Never Walk Alone', with the English lyrics on the big screens for them to follow. I was there with a Belgian lad and an English lad, and the three of didn't know where to look.

I witnessed: - Lads calling each other 'Manc Scum' and 'Scouse W*nkers'. These are boys who grew up together in West Dublin. - Chanting in Mancunian and Scouse accents at the telly and at each other - A United fan decked out in that Green and Gold protest scarf against 'foreign' owners and his mates thinking he was a dedicated lad for doing so. - The coup de grace, though, was one fella squaring up to the ref (TV Screen in reality) and his mate holding him back going ''just leave it man''. These fellas are embarrasing beyond belief.

I find it odd that people would 'cringe' or get annoyed at new people becoming interested in a particular thing. It's almost as if they're trying to assert some sort of faux-authority by sticking it to the 'newbs'. I think it's great to see all the new interest in MMA that Conor McGregor has helped generate.

They seem to be too stupid to realise that the Bandwagoners are the only reason the sport is as popular as it is. Without it the All-Ireland final would be held in front of 5000 people, or less.

However it seems like every male from the age of 13 and above thinks he is this absolute hard lad, professional footballer wannabe-heavy drinker who can fight and womanise. -All of which are not remotely close to being true. It is not in their nature, it's so forced. "Selfie" culture - similar in some ways but somehow even more vain. As for the word itself I want to cut my ears off every time I hear it. Also all the recent Gaza outrage posted online on the usual social sites is ultra cringe material. It's as if most of them have only just heard about Palestine, oblivious to how long conflict has been going on there.
