    yeah - lol - it was the Germans who pushed us to pay back money we didn't have - and didn't want make any concessions - and drove many to an early grave. Lived in England much of my life , and like any society there is the good and the bad. Some of my best mates are now English , but growing up I too was told to hate them

    I have no problem with the English whatsoever, one of my grandparents was English, I wasn't told to hate them growing up, if anything my father hated the Provisional IRA and not the English. But your reasoning that you get on with English soccer supporters because their government gave the Irish exchequer a loan strikes me as bizarre, they gave us a 'bailout' loan because their economy has many ties with ours, it wasn't out of the goodness of their hearts.

    gardai everywhere all in their semi military "public order" uniform.

    overtime galore for the boy...


    It was sad to see a departure from the normal policing spirit espoused by the garda. it was quite a step up in intimidation than what should be and reflected badly on the city.
    You've obviously never been to a football match in England or Europe have you ?

    ya have idiots saying that they are their second favourite team now.... are we really that thick and easily fooled.

    So you're saying we should hate them a bit more?

    We had loads of English fans in the pub for the match yesterday, things have changed so much because it was great to see them mix with the locals and have a laugh. There wasnt a spot of bother

    The scumbag element is far from gone from the english national side and their clubs.

    In fact our league has a few clubs with a scumbag element. They dont go for the football. Its just a chance to cause trouble in a crowd. They have little else in their narrow stupid lives.

    It mirrors society. Unfortunately the scum will always be with us on the fringes.

    That's what the Irish "fans" of english clubs dont understand. They are absolutely loathed.

    i stated that i got on with English now - after living ther, and a shared love of good music, drinking and football- but as always my words get twisted - i never learn - signing off

    The 'loan' was self-interest. British banks were up to their necks in the Celtic pyramid to the tune of almost £140 Billion.

    Regardless, good to see that the whole thing passed off without any major incident(s).

    Not the point. There is an element there at certain clubs. It's a bit like saying the hooligan problem is gone in england.

    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.

    To be fair, I'd conflate singing No Surrender To The IRA with the Irish lads giving a belt of A Nation once Again or Kevin Barry if we were playing in England which you can bet would probably happen.

    Don't get me wrong, I hate the Surrender songs myself (as much because it will usually be a certain type of right-wing supporter singing it) but you're going to get national flags and political songs like that at charged games. It's just good they're were seemingly no assaults on innocent people or smashing up bars and the like.

    Presumably he meant in the actual stadiums. It's impossible for clubs to police events that happen away from grounds.

    That's what the police were doing over the weekend and people are giving out because it was over the top.

    Also, head along to the next match in Dalymount park between bohs and Rovers. When you look over at the car park from the main stand, you'll see the guards. If you cant see that far, they'll be in before the end of the game anyway to keep the fans seperated

    Easy to police this as the English supporters were more likely to end up in one tourist area.

    Rovers supporters are in the shed end now, not the Connaught terrace (facing the Jodi) which is closed down. They physically can't mingle with the Jodi stand anyway because it's two different stands with separate entrances.

    The point was that grounds here - like England - are usually perfectly safe. Anything that happens is away from the ground which nobody can really legislate for.

    yeah, i'm aware of where they are, I was pointing out the garda presence which lies in wait. They can mingle if they really want to, but it involves coming in via the pitch which is when the guards make their presence known.

    Dalymount (and presumably tallaght) are kept safe because of a strong Garda presence which was replicated in Temple Bar over the weekend which meant only minor scuffles, like those seen within the grounds of said LOI matches, took place.

    No, the difference is if you do an hour long documentary on them you'll get loads of footage of English fans doing their best to kick the **** out of other fans and other hooligans trying to kick the **** out of them. Do the same for the LOI and the scariest thing you'll see is "exclusive footage" of fans on a train chanting "WE ALL HATE BOHS! WE ALL HATE BOHS! WHAT ARE WE?? EEEVIL!"

    Thank **** for RTE or I'd have had no idea that football fans chant om trains.

    I love that man, a real manager, a real honest down to earth human being who gets on with the job at hand and make the absolute most of what he's handed.

    Yeah,legend.

    I went to a screening of the new Gascoigne movie (with live Q&A) last night in the Lighthouse and in it Gazza was talking about how when Jack became the manager at Newcastle he was very overweight, eating Mars Bars and happy to just play in the reserves. He said Jack came to him one day and told him if he didn't lose weight and get his head down and start taking it seriously, they'd let him go no matter how much natural talent he had. So Gazza changed his diet, lost some of the weight and under Jack he made his debut in the first team when he was brought on as a sub against QPR in 1985.

    We may never have heard of Paul Gascoigne if not for Jack giving him some tough love.

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

    The scum of the earth came out of their hobbit holes to irritate the English fans. At about 7 o'clock I saw two junkies mistake a family of American tourists as English supporters, they roared abuse at the confused family who were simply sightseeing. What an excellent representation of the Irish 'hospitality'. Not to say that certain English people weren't looking for trouble.
