Eire soccer fans; Martin O'Neills Green Army

Dear Irish supporter,
Sunday your country will face mine in the knockout stages of Euro 2016. Well you know what? If my country wins or yours, I’ll be happy. And I will celebrate. As If my blood is French, my heart, thanks to you and your comrades, is increasingly Irish.
Dear Irish supporter, you shall never measure how much good are you doing to our country. Before your arrival, here we kept to yell, people went on strike, they broke the shops and pounding it. We spoke only of hatred, discord and disgusting lawns of our stadiums. Since you’re here, Irish friend, we speak only of generosity, brotherhood and good atmosphere that you put in the stands. In the stands and on the streets too! Every day all France feasts videos in which you sing ballads for pretty French ladies, lullabies for innocent babies, loving slogans for the police who remembers thanks to you it can be loved, you repair the car that you accidentally damaged and pushes repentance to compensate the driver, you even leaned up- such Japanese supporter-garbage that you leave! ETC 
 ETC 
 ETC 
 In fact if the Irish Wears green is because that’s a Martian. Yes, a human being with such heart, it can only be an extraterrestrial, or Irish.
You do honor to your country, your people, to your ancestors. Even drunk, you’re a gentleman. Even with your belly sticking over your shirt, you have class. Even defeated, you’re in good spirits. I love you, the Irish, and I think I am telling the truth when I say the whole France that has fallen under your charm. You have so conquered us than you reign over us already. When you see how much good you’re doing for our country, we French we say that Ireland is better than Holland 

Because it is much more than a good mood that you spread, Irish brother, it’s Love. Love others, stuff that had been forgotten. Love the beer too! You drink so much! ‘ve never seeing anything like it. And you’re beautiful when you drink! You sing, you laugh, you make friends and I rarely see you vomit. Spread the word: Irish is the best advertising for alcohol. In fact, I propose that on match days of the Irish team , we do not prohibit the sale of alcohol , but that make free and compulsory .
You remember in 2009, we ripped you off. We played like feet ( French expression for rubbish) and it took the hand of Thierry Henry to go to the World Cup. But if God is not (maybe) Irish, he must still know one in his family - divine justice - we were covered with ridicule, to make the whole world laugh (even strike history, specialty home 
). At the time, despite the joy of qualifying, many French were ashamed because we agree the game was won, but at the same time we also lost our pride 
 You, you were sad but left with no violence, and you’re back in our country without seeking revenge. Hey, the Irishman: you are a great lord. The kind of guy to whom we bow. I swear if you win Sunday thanks to an imaginary penalty, a wandering hand, a bench not whistled, there will be no problem between us: a ball over the centre through the bar box. And the French who dare to complain, we will condemn him to only drink water, that’ll teach him. Waiting for the game, I will inquire about obtaining the Celtic nationality. I am even ready to learn your fucking incomprehensible accent. I start this post on social networks as launching a bottle into the sea: I hope it will reach up to you. If a good soul could translate it, it will have my eternal gratitude because my English isn’t good enough. At school, I was too busy looking at the girls’ skirts rather than learn my irregular verbs, you will understand me and excuse me.
Have a good game, Irish brother.
You can be proud.
Because the Euro is not over and yet you’ve already won.
Olivier Sauton.

I can’t really see any difference between either set of bandwagons.
All twats, to a man.

No difference at all really.

the 1st two birds are nice spots brimmer, fair play 3*

The differences are miniscule Brimmer.

I wouldn’t call either grouping twats though. They are just following their team. Doing no harm to me or you.

Ah I’m in a fucking foul humour today and can’t have a pint to cheer myself up. I was just looking for someone or group to take it out on.
Some of the cunts on here would sicken your hole though , gobbing about the rugby crowd, and they all gone of the cuntfest beyond in France which is infinitely worse that any rugby match.

There certainly are differences between the Irish games, not that they both don’t have strong bandwagon elements. I think the Irish rugby team bandwagon is more noticeable at home during big games when you have thousands of new experts on the sport who couldn’t execute a spin pass if they were asked.

At games, Irish rugby fans are nowhere near as boisterous outside the ground as the association ones. It’s a non stop party at a major finals.

Conversly, the association football fans have taken recording every element of their trip to new levels to try and prove how great they are. This is a newer development because of social media and Lad culture. There was as many rugby supporters over at the RWC and not the same level of viral stuff as this.

Without question there are more women and an older average age at the rugby. More couples. More auld fellas.

I’ve been at a couple of away Irish soccer games before and the atmosphere is far tamer than what appears to go on at the major finals. There’s more uniformity in a Rugby World Cup game to a standard Six nations away game for Ireland imo.

Fackin’ kants trying to get our lads involved in their shit carry-on
