Why do the media consider the Irish fans saints .

[bushcelt1]

bohs and shamrock rovers fans are from different sides of the city and generally don't get on and 3/4 years ago there was trouble at a couple of their games. ireland national team do not have a mob,have never had a mob and are known for their trouble free-fun loving support-welcomed by everyone. end of my participation in this thread. coybig!!!!!

To answer your question,why do media consider Irish fans saints,it's simple ,the Irish fans have a great reputation of being fun loving people who will celebrate win lose or draw,we don't cause riots or get friendly games cancelled(or any games for that matter),Im personally very proud of our fans

having spent many a Friday and Saturday in kilburn, punch ups are the norm .

Shellbourne, oh and i heard Dundalk are considered the worst behaved.

Your talking about 2 teams who have about 3 thousand fans in total,riots or trouble at a league of Ireland game in extremely rare,being taking my kids to Cork City games for years and have never witnessed any trouble

Glad to hear it, but Irish football clubs have had hooligan problems too, the number are of course less, but never the less to the problem is there.

Thing I dont get is all the Irish are supporting the Rooney's and Gerrards of this world when playing for their adoppted ENGLISH teams. why they dont help and support teams in Ireland which would be more beneficial to their league and their teams, instead of just trying to support fashionable teams? and I have nothing against the Irish as my wife is Irish. also not all Irish fans are saints as most countries have good & bad fans Maybe the anti English thing is they just feel inferior?
