    Last night was disgraceful in Templebar.. Despite a huge Garda presence English visitors were subjected to terrible abuse, and a few really savage assaults.

    At one stage we'd to shelter two English lads behind us on the door (I work in Templebar) to save them from a further beating.

    The Guards done great last night and were on top of trouble very quick, its just a pity we'd a pack of knuckle dragging bastards (Irish) out looking for nothing but trouble.

    A new tactic I've seen AGS use at this years Paddy's Day 'celebrations', and used again last night, is moving trouble makers out of the Templebar area and away from our visitors and it works a treat.

    I seen one lad give the cops some guff, he got a boot up the hole for his efforts and got pushed along the quay towards the He'Penny Bridge, he limped up rubbing his arse, stopped and gave more lip and got another kick in the hole which sent him on his way over the northside and out of Templebar.

    Its a great tactic, very effective and hilarious to watch.

    I seen some terribly shameful scenes last night, and without fail all caused by Irish lads taking a go at British visitors.

    Worked in Temple bar for many years and it's sad to say the only trouble i ever had was from Irish people.

    I'm delighted the Gardai are allowed to do this.
    Wait for the bleeding heart scum to come on here complaining about Gardai brutality.

    Reading this reminds me of the day Linfield played Shels in Tolka. Everyone at the game was there with the best of intentions but some scrotes just had to show up in the surrounding areas to cause trouble. Better atmosphere in the ground that day than there was today mind.

    Remember we came very close to actually winning Euro 88'. Considering the quality of teams in that tournament and the fact it was our first major tournament... that's just incredible! :)

    No we didn't!

    I'm hearing lots of sirens wailing. Anything kicking off round about now in D4 area?

    Or is it just the teams getting a motorbike escort home?

    To be honest without googling Linfield and Shels I wouldn't have much of a clue about soccer.. In fact I couldn't even tell you the name of our manager or one player on the team :o

    But I get you too.

    Maybe Gerald Keane, Barry Egan and Lisa Murphy have been spotted at the Four Seasons hotel.

    And what's worse is that those same knuckledragers presumably support an English football team, shop in English shops, read English newspapers (if they can indeed read) and watch English television.

    Paul Scholes described the match as a waste of space. He could have been describing a lot more than the match.

    English and Irish fans left the ground, side by side today. Not a hint of trouble. Great to see. :)

    By the sounds of it, everybody was probably too sleepy to fight.

    It's almost like people were hoping that the English fans would wreck the place to you know say "See I told you so".

    Personally, I just want to see the Guards getting to hammer scum, I don't care if the are English scum or Irish scum, I'm non discriminatory.

    Totally. I was in the East stand and I came out with England fans and walked back to the city centre alongside them. No problems at all. Had more of an issue with Irish fans and the ridiculous booing of GSTQ than anything England fans did.

    Fair point, Why are they not policing Dublin like that normally has a terrible problem on the boardwalk and all that. Not asking for horses but at least a visible presence to get rid of all the smack heads.

    Again another example of how rugby fans are just have better sportsmanship no matter what country they are from

    And the team that beat us went on to lift the cup!

    We were a genuine threat in that tournament. That Dutch side was one of the best in history, and we gave then a very close game...

    Same in USA 94 - we beat Italy, they made the final.

    Jack was a very clever manager. Could and should have managed England IMO.

    As was said earlier, soccer is a gentleman's game enjoyed by thugs. Rugby is a thugs game enjoyed by gentlemen. Though I have come across some real scumbags in Rugby, there are not as many, and the ones that are, hide it better.

    There should be a whole separate thread to debate that line in the Soccer forum....

    This stupid quote gets thrown around far too much and really is not as clever as those who use it like to think it is, also last time you used it you limited it to england when it really applies to football fans in europe if not worldwide

    If you think you can mind read as you have claimed, you're the one that's not too clever I'm afraid.

    Bleeding heart scum?

    As opposed to the scum who get a kick out of a good ole bit of police brutality?
