England fans in Temple Bar Tonight

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.

Sir, please calm down. Who mentioned 'The Brits'? I guess you'll be attributing cries of '800 years this-and-that' to me next?

Really, you shouldn't equate schadenfreude as regards seeing hooligans, who caused havoc all over the European continent, getting a hiding with being some mindless, inferiority complex possessing, rebel-song singing, Guinness-stained Celtic jersey wearing anti-British caricature you're conjuring.

If by Danny Dyer you mean vicariously stroking yourself off about violence at football games, I'd be far from the worse offender in here.

Why do you persist in bringing up masturbation? 'Poetic justice' I would describe it as - unfortunate for the real fans who got caught up in it but fully deserved for those who went looking for trouble. Fuck them and everyone like them.

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.

Proud of the fact that we declined any help from the British Police that would have avoided the entire thing? And then we decided to put them in the top tier? Terrible policing imho.

And that we sold returned away tickets to home fans.

Combat-18 got a taste of it many years back so I'd say they will be on good behaviour this time around.

They won't be here because they aren't allowed travel, but I guarantee that they consider what happened at Landsdowne as a success.

Something about cocks triggers it off, dunno.

That just reads as we completely failed as a police force but at least we beat up Brits.

Of course, if we played England in Wembley and a few Irish supporters broke up the stand (in the fantastical hypothesis that the English cops couldn't police a football game properly) you'd be cool with every random Irish supporter in the away end getting their heads broken?

Were you actually at the game by the way?

without a doubt the Gardaí and the FAI made an absolute balls of policing the game.

A lot of the England fans who were injured at the game were sitting in the lower tier and were hit by wooden seating being thrown from the upper tier.

As far as I remember the main bout of Gardaí clobbering the heads off the English lads was in front of the old west stand long after the game had been abandoned and the Irish fans were evacuated. The English lads were told to stay in the stand, some of them made a burst to leave the ground and the coppers battered them back into the stand. Anyone who left the stand at that stage was looking for trouble So all I can say is fvck 'em, they were asking for it.

Maybe, but their young recruits will make it here easily enough.

A bloody nose and a sore head isn't success.

Hmmm.. it wouldn't be cocks that would make me think of masturbating but each to their own I guess.

Brits? Havoc wreaking hooligans who tore up the stadium. Nobody mentioned 'Brits' except you.

Irish fans behave themselves. I only remember harsh words being spoken in Paris after that particular incident in 2009.

Were you actually at the game by the way?

No.

Go to any Premiership game in England and you'll see Tricolours everywhere. White Hart Lane, Goodison Park, Anfield and Old Trafford. Loads of Irish bring their flags to the English clubs, not even a case of them supporting their own. At least these lads in the above picture are!

It's fairly common when Irish clubs or the national team play away to drape flags where you're drinking. It's not necessarily an aggressive thing, just supporters enjoying a trip.Even lads heading to England for club games bring tricolors.

What's up with all this cock sh!t ? I'm trying to visualise a beautiful woman while typing and all I see is cock this cock that wtf ?.

We did play England at Wembley though and iirc it was a friendly affair.

I'd say tomorrow will be as well. I think everybody has learned their lesson from before.

A lot of football fans nowadays are too busy looking at the game through their smartphones to cause any sort of trouble

Personal highlight was his use of "scafers".

Scarfers is a term used to describe normal fans... innit mate

Thank God for dumbed-down technology.

I said scarfers.

I'll check in tomorrow to see if you reply to this via the passive aggressive medium of referring to me in posts to other people.

Make sure all your mates thank this as well, as a passive aggressive tactic in lieu of an opinion.
