Except they're not disappointed. They went there to get drunk. Which is fine, but I don't understand why everyone feels this compelling need to point out that "although their team lost, they are still great fans".

THEY ALWAYS KNEW THEY'D LOSE AND WENT THERE TO PARTY.

How can you compare that with Spanish or Italian fans who are disappointed, because they go there to see football? The Irish aren't good fans, they aren't fans at all.
The fans support the team. Can't say the Irish didn't do that. It's not Ireland's fault you're a tight wad and their team sucks.

I think it's because with your Italian upbringing and growing up with Serie A all around you, you're used to a higher standard of fandom/football.

But what about those who aren't as like as you? The San Marino's and Lichtenstein's of the world? Just because they come from tiny countries doesn't make them bad fans. Just because they find joy and pride where tight wads like yourself find anger and pinched rage doesn't make them any less than you.

If the Irish want to be proud of their loser team simply for making it to the Euros for the first time in 30 years, they can. If you don't like it, go have an angry cry.

I was joking i love Italy and its culture ive supported Italy in ever major tournament since ive been born and followed them like they where my own country but Seven is really starting to wind me up how anyone can fault the Irish for what happend today is beyond a joke.
today was expected. the game against croatia was unlucky and very bad defence and goalkeeper. for irland to qualify is more than expected. hopefully they wont turn up for the italy game :)

Oh please. Your players are far from gutted. They didn't try to win either game. It wasn't even sitting back and defending against Spain. It was just utter shite.

In my logic the Dutch fans are admirable for not causing problems after their loss.

The Irish aren't admirable, because they expected to lose and were only there to get drunk.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE OR DO I NEED TO EXPLAIN IT IN WORDS THAT HAVE FEWER SYLLABLES?
We understand the words you type, however that doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.

They were there to support their country, knowing they would probably lose. They could get drunk just the same at home as well.

I'm Belgian. The Belgian team hardly wins every time. I am still disappointed when they lose. And when they lose, they are criticised and told what they could improve on. Slowly the team is improving. This culture of "we suck, but it doesn't matter, because we can still get drunk" is not something that I find admirable and it certainly isn't something I can respect. It's a neverending cycle of sucking.

The Irish team in 2002 was pretty good. This team has a guy who was cut from Derby County, what the fuck do you want?:lol:

For one, instead of deciding BEFORE the game that they don't have a chance and say "fuck it, lads, enjoy the stadium", they could TRY to win. The Irish never seem to try that. Perhaps there is an off chance that they win. But unless you try, you really don't know. The Irish are poor fans, because they set themselves up to fail. If you set yourself up to fail, you never end up disappointed. Their heart is never crushed, because they lose that all important game. There are no important games to the Irish. The Irish are never gutted, because they never try.

As a sportsman, I find that disgusting.

Far from gutted? and you know this how? I cant believe how stupid you are if you really believe that. We simply did not have the quality to compete with such a high level of competition i'm sorry for Ireland being at the Euros i hope for yours and Italys sake we wont be at the next one so you can have a much greater team get a result off of Spain to bale you chokers out!

All of this because you think the credit they are given (admirable fans) is undeserved? Big deal :D
