Sheach Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Anyone got any thoughts on where the TA will be massing pre-match on Saturday? Arriving Saturday lunchtime and keen to head straight into the action! The pre-match square in Dortmund was amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossman4 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Dublin, for the size of it doesn't really have any square as such unfortunatley. Would be difficult to see where a mass meet would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a real shame. Some of the best pre-match on away trips have been in squares! Trafalgar Square before Wembley, Dortmund! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossman4 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 It's got plenty of big areas, St Stephen's green being the main one but no way the local Garda will let us congregate there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Great news that there's no square. Some bawbags always think it's a great laugh to start pelting a football around the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jailender Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 They'll still find somewhere to do that. I remember in Kaunus, they did it with a basketball in the street outside a pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not great news for the large majority who go and behave themselves without any hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case the "large majority" should sort out the arseholes who think it's acceptable to punt footballs about the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, walking past Trafalgar Square the night after the England game, it was embarrassing to see the amount of rubbish folk had just left at their arses.

It's a pain in the @rse. You need to be on constant alert in case you get a football to the face. There was a group of idiots doing it outside the emirates a few years back at the Brazil game. A young boy was hit on the head so I grabbed the ball and put it in a wheelie bin. The baistarts just brought out another ball and started punting that.
