It seems to be sad but true that many football hooligans are English.

This, however, does not mean that all English football fans are hooligans. The few who do cause trouble would cause trouble wherever they go and whatever they do. I don't believe it really has anything to do wiht football. The hooligans are most likely the people who are voting for the BNP.

And for those Irish and Scottish who are dissasiating themselves from the English, I understand why. I am ashamed to be associated with some of these people...and I can't deny association because of my nationality.

The majority of English football fans are good, well behaved people who just want to have a good time. There are a few who want to spoil it for everyone.

Well said Dave although I do know a few former hooligans who had no connection with BNP

look.. in this instance you cant win... you obviously dont know a lot about football or you would realise that Scottish fans are internationally renowned for their support around the globe... now bear in mind Ireland have only been to about 2 or 3 major championships... so when you have been to as many World Cups as Scotland and had as many awards as Scotland then we'll talk

you dont have to have Ireland win at everything you know... i know you think they do, but in this instance they dont.. ask REAL football fans around the globe and they'll confirm the above facts about Scotland... thank you

Ehhh, I'm waiting! :rolleyes:

And that's good coming from you dunk . And yes we've only been to FOUR major championships so we're competing quite well - Japan have an Irish day since the last world cup and close their main street for Paddys day, which is the only day of the year it will close for.

I'll have some humility when I'm given a genuine reason... comparing Irish fans to Scottish fans is just stupid - we're WAY better... talk to any REAL fan and they'll tell ya that

outwith? Do you mean 'outside'?

But no, you are indeed right - I've only seen Ireland matches in Dublin... although I was in Paris for the world cup in 98 and I found the Scottish fans to be overrated :cool: Wasn't that the year we got the FIFA fair play award?
