I find the narrative in the English sporting media on the ROI soccer team is of a plucky limited team that often punches above itâs weight
Yes, we think we have a rivalry with England in the same way that England think they have a rivalry with Germany. Most of them support us in international tournaments
The real diehard engerland fans actually do hate us though. Theyâre obsessed with Irish republicanism for some strange reason.
Thatâs the minority that sing 10 German Bombers and No Surrender. Canât compare them to the general populace
The real diehard England fans hate everyone.

The real diehard ingerland fans hate everything and everybody mate. And everybody hates them.
10 German bombers is a grand tune
Iâll be watching the documentary tonight, hope itâs good.
Confirmed it wasnât the Bloody Sunday documentary anyway. It was a 3 minute video showed in the dressing room before the game. The video included all Irelandâs goals against England in the past. At the end there was 30 seconds of âhistorical contextâ.
There was footage of the game in 1995 which straddled both themes
Bizarre video by the sounds of it.
It sounds box-office.
The video sounds so good, Iâve put together this reconstruction:

Who made the Bloody Sunday Doc?
RTĂ commissioned it, but it looks like it was a Clare production company Twopair Films that made it.
Whoever got offended about that video that Kenny showed would be better off out of the Irish set-up.
