Cue derogatory comment from Paula Brennan about alcoholics and lost sovereignty.

15000 irish men and women paid alot of money to go over to poland and support the boys in green bloody sure there going to sing there hearts out the team gave them nothing back…!!its alot better to see than the polish and russians kicking lumps out of each other

This video is going viral at the moment. Heard the French and German broadcasts stayed silent while the fans sung. See the country ain’t all bad, we got the best foundations and thats us. This will have a welcome boost to tourism.

The answer here is to send the 30,000 Irish fans to next years Eurovision. Certain to win.

I just got goosebumps!

You are the one who’s deluded. Football is sport. SPORT! which should be enjoyed win loose or draw. The whole world is complementing IRELAND fans on their sporting behaviour. Lighten up mate, There’s a happy world outside

If the object of sport is to lift our spirits then us Irish are world champions. This performance by the Irish fans is right up there with the silence that roared around Croke park when God save the queen was played before the English rugby game. I am deeply proud to be Irish and I truly believe we are an amazing race of people with unbeatable spirits. The meaning of one of our favouritism anthems ‘you’ll never beat the Irish’ was never better defined than last night. If people outside our little shores didn’t understand what we meant, surely they can have no doubt about its meaning now. You’ll never beat the Irish.

dutch fans booed their own team off the pitch when 1-0 down to germany the other nite,our fans sang to the death when 4-0 down…best in the world

You’ll never beat the Irish ….. At singing anyway ,well done to the supporters ,you all stood up and the world took notice of how good our fans are.

That was just awesome. Fields of Athenry made most Polish press and Internet news and now people know what this song is all about everyone is extremely positive about Irish and people say you showed so much proud and dignity thousands of respectful comments in Internet towards you fair play. Also don’t know if anybody noticed but Irish fans sang during game “Polska Bia?o Czerwoni.” That means in polish “Poland white and red” – standard polish fans song. That’s class – thank you :-)

Fair play to the fans. But this country needs a lift and it should be the team doing it! Roy Keane is right, the team didn’t try hard enough. The team should have the same pride and resolve and drive as the fans. Well done the fans though!

I think the lyrics “you’ll never beat the irish” are meant to show you’ll never kill our spirit, not meant literally. This gave me goosebumps last night and made me proud. All the thumbs down for the positive comments about this story show who the real plastic paddy’s are! #COYBIG

No-one will ever stop the irish from having a good time, win or lose. The Irish invented partying, and not all the miserable begrudging cork whingers like roy ‘attention-junkie’ keane will stop that. well done the fans. a credit to the team and the nation.

I wonder what quotient of thejournal commenters fall under the category of “moody bollix”.

I think there should be a civic reception for the fans when they come home.

Support the effort the players put in you tit. It might not be great but that’s the best the players can do. We are not world beaters.

I’d rather be singing drunks when losing than be rowdy ones

The other video that was @ 100,000 hits on youtube was taken down. Pity. Here’s a link to the only copy I can find still available on the Internet . http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/euro-2012/irish-news/roy-keane-blasts-team-and-says-songs-not-enough-3139353.html

Irish fans are amazing… Head high always, thats what I so admire about Ireland and love it for <3

To all Irishmen, especially those, which have provided this absolutely wonderful moment at the end of the match.
If you like to really enjoy this moment again without any comment of a moderator, have a look here:

This is the best recording, which I have found in the net.
Many, many, many thanks to all the irish fans.
With honor and respect
best regards from germany

Paula Brennan is a cnut

Wow. It’s awesome!

Yea cop on people your not there to support yourselves, its suppose to be about the supporting the team and they don’t deserve that at the moment. Singing is great but not when you have been trashed 4-0 , theres a time and a place for that I’d love to see those people and more singing like that outside the Dail and other Goverment buildings.

I hope it’s a long time before I sing that famine song again.

Losers!

sing when you’re losing…. sums up the people of Ireland. enjoying being lashed for the last 1000 years. but we love to get drunk. what a wonderful cultural trait.

For the love of god all the Irish fans are completely deluded! We just looked liked a bunch of muppets singing a song for a utter shite team! That Irish team should have been booed of the pitch! The fans need to swallow their pride and cop on, once again the focus is on how great the fans are and not on how shit ireland was. Euro 2012 is about football not how feckin good fans are!

We are a sad bunch alright. Celebrating hard luck and good effort is ok but celebrating mediocrity and failure like we did last night with that singing confirms it for me.

Every single country in world would be sad that there team lost in any match. they would trumble out of the grounds of any sporting arena and would be down heartened. They would not be able to muster up the emotion of joy to sing and party. The Irish mentality on the other hand is to party and sing and carry on as if nothing has happened. W e lost, who cares, we hand over country to the Europe bigwigs, who cares, we pay the Banks debt, who cares. We’re Irish lets drink and sing. We know what it is like to lose but we dont care we’re Irish. Lets party.
You’ll never beat the Irish..!!!! What are you talking about..?!?!?!!? Irish Delusion holds no bounds.

I would be singing go home you useless shites

World’s Media… ahhhhhhhhh look at the Irish supporters singing together..! Why are they singing so heartily, did they win something.??>!? No Hans they lost and they were 1st to be knocked out of the tournament.. mmmh ok so why are they singing>? ehhhm because the Irish like to drink n partty n have good time… ok.
Right lets invade that country they seem really thick.

Ray whats your excuse for Croatia? Your the one who doesn’t have a clue, making excuses for a team like that, go away look at the goals we conceded and our defense and then come back to me! Even trap was critical of his players. Jump of the bandwagon!

You can’t argue a point with an idiot!!! Nuff said
