One Photo Sums up the Barstool "Oirish" Football Supporter Perfectly.

"FOREIGN GAMES OUT" on it.

Bet this same wanker has a Man U bedspread and would not cross the
street to see Cork City, Bohs, Shamrock Rovers, Dundalk, Galway
United, Derry City and so forth play.
My cousin also told me that one of the protestors on saturday outside
Croker was wearing a Liverpool top and is a member of the 'Dublin
Reds' supporters club and is given to terms such as "we, us" etc when
declaring his eternal love for British soccer as an expression of his
Irish identity - just like oul Ray on this group does.
But what am I saying, sure aren't Man U, Liverpool, Hartlepool,
Reading etc all "Oirish" clubs really...
Seeing that photo really made Saturday a perfect day on every level.
Even the morons and halfwits reached new heights and made us happy.

IQ of those trying to make political capital out of a game of rugby.
"Foreign games" indeed.

This was reported on Morning Ireland this am, and I nearly swallowed
my toothbrush.
It was only marvellous.
What a feast of rugby Sat afternoon was! My brother in law phoned me
at half time from frogland to ask me whether he was right to recognise
this as the stadium I took him to see the Leinster hurling final back
in 1989 or 1990 (which I confirmed). His comment: "your guys are
lions".
And they were.
I had to sniffle as discretely as I could - I wouldn't want the
beloved to think I'm a soft cissy, now - watching Flannery and Hayes
crying during the Irish anthem. I had a lump in my throat until the
guys started to play. It was just beautiful.
We watched the game with surround sound, and noticed one thing. The
quality of sound produced by RTE on the occasion was miles ahead of
the France/Wales match which followed. You could hear every collision
with bone-crushing clarity and I was brought back to my home place
listening to the delightful singing southern accent of the froggy ref
and linesmen "esssque tu mantannn? Essai pour les veearts!".
Ahhh... After the frog snatched victory from a not bad at all Irish
team two weeks ago, I was utterly chuffed in my mixed loyalties to see
a brilliant Irish team defeat the English, and a brilliant French team
easily beat a not so great Welsh team.
And that fellow Stratten (?) is not half useful.

A tiny compensation.

I noted that when I put on the RTE coverage of the France/Wales game George
Hamilton apologised for the blank columns on either side of the screen, and
explained that it was due to incompatibility with the inferior French
technology. Then after I'd heard Hamilton's total incomprehension when faced
with the oval ball game, I switched to BBC - and they filled the screen
quite normally. I was listening through a single speaker so I can't say why
the quality from France should be bad on a good system, but it might be due
to technical incompatibility.

Or maybe it is a case that the wiring in Croke Park was more
comprehensive? You could hear every little goings on. You could hear
the linesmen and ref, you could hear the thumps, you could hear the
hum of the stands and the crowd breathing when there was deathly
silence just before Ronan O'Gara was proving that the Irish willie is
bigger than your Wilk... ahem.
Commiserations, all the same. Your guys' chances were not strong
against a fantastically fit and cohesive Irish team, significantly
boosted by the willpower of 99.99999999% of the population. The
0.000000000001% was outside wearing a Celtic jersey and holding up a
plackard...

Brit dirty tricks.
An authentic Celtic supporter would be wearing his away top.
