Newryrep Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) There will be absolutely zero issue with Scottish fans in the home end. As i've said before sadly Irish fans got coins thrown at them and secterian abuse from a minority in Glasgow as they sat in the home end. I guarantee there'll be zero hassle when you visit. We leave that shite to people in Northern Ireland and a minority in ScotlandTbh tbig I wouldn't be that confident in 113 though if there are a fair few scots it's less likely Edited May 31, 2015 by Newryrep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ANDYP Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Tbh tbig I wouldn't be that confidentmakes them just as bad as the 2 or 3 arse holes that abused any of the irish in Glasgow then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donegal-lad Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 There will be absolutely zero issue with Scottish fans in the home end.

We leave that shite to people in Northern Ireland and a minority in Scotland I don't know how you can guarantee that there be zero hassle, I'm sure the scots would of gave us the same guarantee before the game in Glasgow. Will always be a few who let the collective down and I'd not be as confident that all our support be on their best behaviour. I'm not saying be anything serious could be just bit of banter taken to far etc. We have seen fans moved from 113 in the past and it wasn't because of massive confrontation but over something that was said. I've been asked by a lot of scots about possible trouble in home end etc and been honest in my response, they can expect banter to be thrown at them but if any irish fan steps over the mark with this they will be dealt with by their fellow irish fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Artois 1366 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Has the FAI announced a fan zone either for the party pre match or providing big screen for fans to watch the match? Surely it would make sense considering the number of troops landing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
