    If isis came out a week before it and said every game has been targeted and all supporters and players hotels and stadiums are targets then it would end it after the first device is found or goes off,even dummy devices will cause games to be called off, i know two people who are not going since brussels attacks.. could be carnage

    its a fact the vast majority of terrorists are Muslims.


    I am traveling to another European destination during the opening week of the Euros and I will admit it is a concern.

    Pretty sure that's not actually a fact.

    Maybe you should stay home if your worried

    Grow a pair all balls. If ISIS come out and say every City and Town in Europe is a target, will everything in the Europe stop?

    I wouldn't go, but I can't stand football.

    However, last year I booked flights & tickets for a concert in Brussels in April, recent events didn't stop me from going to that.
    As another poster mentioned not going is letting them win.

    Why are they picking on France? Isn't London a more obivious target, and why do they pick planes, you could drive a load of Semtex on a ferry easily enough and get a way bigger body count.

    I think France has a very poorly integrated and disenfranchised young community of immigrants. Very hard battle home grown terrorists. The UK are extremely adept at dealing with it due to their experience with the troubles. Also everywhere in london etc. has cameras, I still think sadly its a matter of time before they are targeted again.

    Haven't they come out and said every country in Europe is a target, as well as other international ones? Time to move country then!

    If we can beat Sweden (which is possible if you take care of Ibra), there's a possibility we could get through as one of the better placed 3rd place teams.
    Are you playing? What position?

    The most embarrasing part of that game, was our "greatest fans in the world getting praised for singing when losing 4 nil" These same folk would rather watch Man Utd on tele than an Irish side play!

    The amount of remarks we got for walking around in LOI tops by Irish fans was laughable

    Oh not this **** again

    This is one of those times I really want to be wrong I have a friend going.
    Whatever is thrown at me for this thread is beside the point I would not be going if I was paid.

    Sounds like a conservative amercians, scared of the big bad terrorists and convinced "terrorists" are everywhere. As long as you're afraid and scared ISIS and the politicians that want more unnecessary laws to monitor you are happy.
    You've a better chance of getting killed in a car crash in the taxi to the airport. Imagine telling someone you're not going on holidays because you're scared of the taxi journey?

    I'm not going to the Euros, but I'd go in a heartbeat if it would do anything to shut up right wing anti Muslim loons with blatant agendas and get them to sell their bigotry elsewhere. But it won't, such is the free society we live in.

    Yeah, they hate Muslims for no reason. It has nothing to do with frequent terror attacks, child grooming gangs and Muslim men sexually abusing women.

    What?!? All of them?!? All 1.6 billion?!?!?

    And, in fairness, the three accusations you level might equally have been applied to us in the past. Frequent terror attacks? Tick. Child grooming gangs? Yep. The men in black. Sexually abusing women? Well, it's not been too many years since rape was legal in marriage. For a start...

    What is up with modern far-right wingers being such soft c*nts?

    There was a lot of worry about a terrorist attack from Caucausian militants on the Sochi Winter Olympics a few years ago, but at the event itself security was tight and nothing came to pass

    The right is built on a foundation of fear, so it's hardly a surprise.

    The Right is built on a foundation of fuck off and leave me alone, and get your own damn money. :D

    It is not the immigrants but their children, same in UK.

    The Euros are just too juicy a target for ISIS to pass up.
    Huge gatherings of people, confined spaces, lots of foreigners and the eyes of the world watching.
    If they could scupper a huge decadent western infidel sporting occasion all the better in their 8th century mindset

    They don't need to hit a stadium, railway stations, city centres are easier targets and could contain lots of fans.
    But of course anyone that says such things are right wing Islamichores

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Not going , but more down to the cost of hotels and such then anything to do with a possible terrorist attack , had tickets to the sweeten game but sold em on a few weeks ago.

    There is a possibility of trouble given the amount of Muslims and that in France but security should be top drawer after the recent attacks.

    No way happy days. I very nearly had to do the same but we were lucky and found a 2 bed gaff across from the train station in Lille for €460 for the 2 nights.

    If anyone else is still looking for accommodation in Lille I noticed a few hotels on booking.com that had no availability last week but had options available last night. Id imagine they were freed up by cancellations etc.

    Nuke it to **** !! Restart the crusades/wwiii/iv better than watching overpaid cocksuckers diving at every chance they get..

    Modern football... No loyalty to fans/players/managers .. Run like businesses now not entertaining.. No tv refs after how many years?? Maradonnas hand ball in Mexico then that vavavoom French prick!! Why coz it's corrupt at its core, Blatter gave green light for France to cheat against us (more revenue).. Sooner you realise your being shafted every two years by FIFA n EUFA for subpar holidays with a chance of hooligans with rip off accommodation n ticket prices, the world will be better place to live.

    Sky sports half the reason pints are so expensive €1200/month that cost needs to be made up somewhere..

    what'd a reckon chances on getting tickets over there on day of game? We're not expecting to get any so some big screen will have to do us :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,847 ✭✭✭Sebastian Dangerfield


    I'm going and looking forward to it.

    Though my wife is due to have a baby the following week, so if I miss the birth there's more chance of her killing me than a terrorist

    Just noticed England have a game in Marseille. How much would I get for my apartment on airbnb for three days? Could fit 6 hooligans easy.
