Guest Post: World’s Best Supporters – For Two Weeks

We call ourselves the Best Fans in the World. UEFA even gave us a prize. We went to Poland in huge numbers but we can’t fill Lansdowne now for Ireland games. Our football love is reserved for Premier League clubs, mainly two of them, and mainly from the couch or the barstool. In a special guest post, Minty from YBIG.ie looks at how many Irish people take the easy way out when supporting foreign teams.

Passage of Play: YBIG Forum

“Germany suffered a 5-1 home defeat in qualifying for World Cup 2002. They kept their manager and went on to reach the World Cup Final.
Maybe if they were beaten 6-1 at home they’d have won the World Cup.”

We’re Caught in a Trap

Like the great Elvis, who died on the toilet, Ireland’s Euro demise has left a nasty whiff in the air. RogerMilla has penned this quite brilliant version of a Presley classic . Will Trap, our King of Rock and Roll-over, pay heed? The fans have suspicious minds.
