    Fairly sure the media would be more than happy to report any trouble.

    This link might be interesting to observe as we go into the early hours. The news media won't report any trouble but this might tel another tale.

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

    There's always hope.

    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.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,572 ✭✭✭Black Menorca


    No sign of the Roma head wreckers yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,654 ✭✭✭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...
