Did Germany not push for the sub-ordinated debt from Anglo Irish be paid in full by the Irish people or taxpayers . These were gambles that German (mainly) institutions took and failed due to the ineptitude of a few Irish developers and chosen few. The Iris economy is in serious recession due to the actions of tiny chosen few , , my point is Germany did us little favours , and many people are still suffering including myself.

So the British acted differently how? Gave us a loan?

You also realuse loads of these institutions are often run from London and the states, with German bases? Which is why the praise for Britain is baffling.

So it turns out the CIA knew the agent was selling secrets to the Russians?

I have many British friends - we share much in common - football, music, booze .
I grew up in an environment where I was encouraged to hate England , thankfully today , after spending much time over there , this is not true now- like any culture or group - Irish , German or English there is good and bad.

Typical Irish attitude to the public sector showing again.

If the Gardai don't have a large presence and something kicks off then they are useless, lazy BASTARDS.

If they do have a large presence then they are intimidating, jack booted BASTARDS.

A nation of angry teenagers getting annoyed at mom and dad just because........

your post is stupid.
I hate the public sector as much as the next man but that's not what I said in anyway.

if you saw the gardai yesterday you'd know they weren't the normal gardai you'd see. they were dressed in combat gear with batons and whatever else they were carrying.
It wasn't pleasant viewing. if it was necessary , why not keep them discretely out of view until they were needed (if needed)
It made the city look bad and for no reason.

that said - they could have killed time by riding the city of junkies.
abbey street and liffey street were infested with them yesterday while i was walking through.

English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Manx . . . . .

We're all very similar, all connected by geography, living as we are on a group of islands off the NW coast of Europe. England & Ireland are really just like two old estranged siblings who really should get along better, seeing as we're so inter related and connected through the millennia. And we always will be connected, unless one of us sinks!

Watched the match on ITV HD, and the amount of Irish players who play in the English Premiership is amazing . . . now Rooney gets tackeled by O'Shea "His Man U team mate", etc etc etc...

Thankfully the old England fans of the yobbo variety have either died off or had their passports confiscated.

It's also time to boycott the establishments that profiteered from the queens shilling this weekend.

I was in the oval bar in Dublin last night. If you were there you'd realise how wrong this statement is.

I'm not anti British by any means but last night was confirmation that the scumbag element of Englands football support has never gone way.

A very very unfortunate spelling mistake.

the Garda presence was absolutely needed - nothing happened - but if they weren't ther something unsavoury could easily have kicked off - and everyone would have said where was the response - Most cities I have armed police - and many games escort away fans , under heavy escort . Am not always complentary on the Gardai, but they did a great job at weekend - ensuring a peaceful weekend

That may not work out well them being Ireland's biggest trade partner in the EU.

People tend to forget it happens all over the world with football massive police presence.

Were they actually causing trouble or threatening people though?

I personally agree that I would hate to hear that IRA stuff being chanted (because it would suggest they're probably right-wing boneheads) but lots of football away trips, including the Ireland national team or Irish clubs, would involve people putting flags everywhere and singning or chanting.

Just had to adjust that 4 you, and very sorry to hear that the scumbag element still exist.

I lived in England for many years, and I have very good English friends who had told me that the old Yobbo/scumbag element were a thing of the past, obviously they're not :mad: although I guess they're a very small element within the England supporters.

Full credit to the Gardai for keeping them in order.

Right... Isn't that how he used it?
That people infer from his writing that he is stupid.

There are problems with the paragraph, but I think in this case infer is the correct verb.

Without re-reading the whole thread, I'll have to agree with you and give Mr. TheBaz the benefit of the doubt.

This post has been brought to you by the letter 'P' and the colour 'yellow'.

The are visible for a reason, their presence on the streets is the deterrent, surely its better for them to be out and visible so nothing happens instead of be hiding around the corner waiting for it to happen?

Your making it out like this is the gardai's fault, you understand this happens for a huge amount of matches in england and across the continent and is an unfortunate part of football?

And I did not see the same people moaning about the presence on Patrick's day. They were moaning about some tourists getting battered. The Garda can't win.

cheaper that UK cities at night - €6 = about £4.30. Most bars in Birmingham city are £4.50 - £5 for bottles/pints at night. London is way more.

That really only has to do with the strength of the pound.

"The Ballad Of the Empty phoca" is doubtless being writ as we we type.

MathDebater · 08-06-2015 01:32PM

Who won the drinking session after? A lot of our young talent has gone abroad so I'd have expected the English to nick it with a few late shots at the death.

They were not threatening specific people but they were behaving aggressively. I dare say they were looking for a reaction. Then it would have kicked off rightly. What's even worse is they were probably too young to remember the good Friday agreement.

99% of traveling sports fans will carry either their national flag or the flag of the club they are supporting. In the vast majority of cases this dies not cause undue offence.

I doubt any set of fans in our group will travel to Germany and start singing about Auschwitz or Belsen though.

This sort of Aggression is symptomatic of a low level of intelligence.

It's not so much that they're a thing of the past. It's more a case of out of sight is out of mind.

Which one? I know they're under resourced, but surely the commissioner didn't leave one poor sod to deal with Paddy's Day on his own?!?

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!!

A lot of nonsense most gers fans don't care about this so called Blues brothers
