Or not quoting people but quite obviously referring to their posts, like you do to me Ann.

There's Brits in our city at this minute and you're on here waging war from your armchair. Get in there.

"Oif".... can't find that in my cockney slang dictionary.

Probably because it's not there?

Came across a bunch of English being arrested around 7pm yesterday evening on dame st.

Drink and disorderly.

Starring on anyone and everyone.

Only here a few hours and they've gone native?

Top marks for their cultural sensitivity!

And they're very welcome as our largest number of tourists come from Britain. Heck, I was asked for directions from a bunch of English lads a while back and as I was explaining how to get there I said 'feck it lads, follow me, and I'll drive there' they followed me in the car as I guided them to their hotel.

When I stopped to let them know they were at their destination they pleaded with me to come in so they could buy me a few beers - I politely declined but was happy they experienced a bit of Irish hospitality early on in their trip and hope it set the tone for their visit.

You're the one with the prejudices about 'Da Oirish' who hate 'The Brits' not me.

I'm not the type to go looking for trouble myself. In fact, I'd actively avoid trouble being a peaceful sort of a character. If trouble comes looking for me it's a different story though.

You missed your chance there Tom, you should have brought them up to Dundalk for the craic!

I actually find that shocking. Hopefully the flag was taken down. Surprised the owner tolerated it.

FLEG!

It's a long way from the south coast! In fairness I've only ever had good experiences of English folk, from hitch-hiking to bar chats, and I dare-say that the vast majority of them are embarrassed by the behaviour of the few who travel abroad looking for trouble masquerading as sports fans.

They're currently singing 'Rule Britannia'.

That's it. I'm joining the Real IRA. Who's with me?

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...

Big deal. What's that got to do anything?

Funny how there were tranmere jersies around when aldo was playing.

Embarrassing to see a tranmere tricolour at Irish games.

Ahhh steady on now.....They'd wake up chained in a container bound for qatar in the morning.

Yerra, it doesn't matter. We'll beat the shit out of the weigh anchors anyway.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 07-06-2015 04:52AM

"Cor blimey, go on my san." The words of a Londoner as I brushed by their group in the smoking area and briefly flashed an old Limerick 37 jersey I was wearing underneath my dress shirt.

Indeed, and just like the fashions and haircuts of that time it's mostly to be found among the less enlightened Eastern Europeans

I suppose we won't hear from Anncoates after tonight for a while.
"He'll be banged up proper after 'aving it large with the top boys from the English firms."

At least he supports his own, our league, 20 years ago we had the Chelsea Headhunters/ Combat 18/West Ham Inter City wrecking havoc. It amazes me that Irish people could support clubs like Chelsea and West Ham to this day. Chelsea especially, the Blues Brothers Alliance Chelsea-Linfield-Rangers, No Surrender!!

I'm not a fan of Chelsea but supporting Chelsea football club has nothing to do with their dodgy fans associations. Chelsea Football Club isn't some ultra loyalist organization just because a chunk of their supporters have decided to mix football and politics together.

Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy and leave them in peace.

Are all those groups still around these days?

Very much so. The headhunters were involved in violence before the PSG game last year - about 300 of them.

When the English fans descended on Tallinn for their Euro qualifer a few months ago it was chaos. They covered the Old town square with their club flags and did the same to the inside of many of the bars. Of course the Estonians were too polite to stop them. I went to the game and a large group of the ones without tickets managed to force their way into the stadium and the game had to be delayed as a result.
Afterwards I went into town expecting it to be a jungle. I was right. A bunch of Russian's had made the trip from Narva to Tallinn for the specific purpose of fighting with the English fans and the bar I was got wrecked as the result of a huge fight between 2 groups of Russians and English. Blood, glass and chairs everywhere. Just as I was leaving said bar there was another colossal brawl outside the main big tourist bar/nightclub and entire streets had to be cordoned off. Honestly I didnt know what to expect when the draw was made and it showed England coming to Estonia. I certainly didnt expect for that many stereotypes to ring true. The vast majority were sound as always. But the more drink that was thrown into them the smaller that majority became.

I watched a documentary last week on English soccer hooligans. its called 'hooligans, no one likes us'. It's up on youtube if anyone wants to watch it. Good job it's an early kick off. That'll stop the all day drinking.
