  • Just because you don't know the words doesn't mean you can't sing the song........
    One of the best moments of Irish Away football support. As the home crowd stood in silence the away support sang La Marseillaise with great gussto. Something that everyone who was there will remember

      A big thanks for all the Irish Fans who were there in France. Your team was good, real fighters. It was a pleasure to meet Irish people in France. Don't change, you're really perfect and that won't be the news about the Irish fans during the games who will say the contrary.
      Our Irish brothers are always welcome in France !

    France designed the Irish flag, its based on the French Tricolour and that's why we like the French! *except Thierry Henry! ;)

    • @Teraiefa
      @Teraiefa Před 5 lety +2

      Thierry Henry is more despised in France than in Ireland. We'll never forget what he did during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

    Remember the 500,000 Irishmen who fought and died for France before and after 1789. remember the Irish at Fontenoy and that Napoleon's Irish Legion was the only group of foreign soldiers in the French military to whom Napoleon ever gave an eagle; which they never lost.

      Merci, je le savais. Mais il y a encore un grand nombre de catholiques en France ( et même des ultras ! )
      Ce que je voulais dire c'est que l'Alliance Franco-Irlandaise s'est formée sur le principe que la France et l'Irlande étaient deux pays catholiques ( sous Louis XIV ).

      Comrade, I hate Tory England, but I don't hate individual English. I'm sure most French people feel the same way. And don't forget, both our countries are secular states. Vive la France, agus Eire go bragh!

  • @gnawershreth
    @gnawershreth Před 8 lety +58

    To be honest, La Marseillaise is just an awesome anthem. It's hard to not "sing" (I don't speak a word of French) along to it. One of the best anthems around and it sounds amazing in a stadium. Too bad the French fans aren't that loud when it comes to their national team. They sure know how to make noise when it comes to their own clubs. ;)

    irish fans are great, when we(australia) played against ireland in limerick a couple years ago the irish fans clapped and congratulated our third goal which was a long range goal from 35 yards, i never seen that happen in international football before it shows how respectful they were that they can appreciate the good things about football.
    if we scored a goal like that against italy or argentina we would of got booed and whistled at lol

Bernardo O Higgins (the G Washington Is south America more or less) and the Hennessy cognac family...Hennessy may be a french brand but I'll be dammed if the name ain't irish

    It's great to see so many positive comments on the Irish fans and the Irish team from all over the world. Italy, France, Finland, Croatia, Mexico, United States etc. However, there are some negative comments and all come from the same country, the homeland of hooligans. When Irish fans travel the police in the host country can take the day off. When English fans travel the host country has to call up the army. I feel sorry for the Irish fans, team and their manager, the great Signore Trapattoni.
