Ahhhh - I remember arriving in this country in the 80s, getting a "middle class" job despite not being middle class. I had no idea what "class" was - I was also a staunch RoI and Arsenal supporter


I didn't have many friends


But I did have a lot of English "geezers" telling me how us Irish would be humiliated at 88, and 92 tournaments. I also remember being jeered at in a cathedral city in England as English fans tore apart an Irish stadium because the poor diddums were losing to Ireland


Loooong time since England beat RoI. I have never overcome my dislike of English "geezers". Whatever rung of the ladder I find myself

Was this in 2001 when the 'friendly' International was abandoned? As I remember watching the trouble on TV and it looked like to me the Irish were throwing missiles down at the English yobs from the upper tier.

No the english were on the upper tier matt throwing down on the irish. Naive positioning of the away fans by the irish organisers gave the english hooligans a perfect location for their assault..

You haven't got the guts to call me the last name, because you might get your little wrist slapped by the admin man. Dick He.. better not.

Dear me, the spuds mafia have been getting together to think up names to call me, how long did it take you to think up this one? I can think of lots of names for spuds fans but you're beneath contempt and beneath us as you have been for many, many , many , many , many , many years.

Lazy saracastic comparison to a comic great? If you're talking about youself, you cleary hold your work here to be of great worth when in fact a child attending nursery could do better. Sarcastic and lazy enough for you spuds boy?

Moving on from the collective barage from the spuds morons on here, I went to the game on Saturday and Theo had a stormer. If Bendtner could play as well as he says he can he could have had a hatful on Saturday. Well done Theo, and well played Everton great game to watch .


Little do you know of Irish fans then Matthew and their history. Regarding the fact that the English fans were in an upper tier at that match, if my memory serves me correctly, it was because it was the only part of the ground where they could be escorted in and out of the ground without having to mingle with the locals. David Kelly scored the goal I think that gave them the excuse to throw seats onto the crowd below.

I remember watching that game and the English "fans" disgraced themselves by bombarding the fans below with missiles of various sizes. It's no surprise to me that English fans are treated with disdain when they travel abroad. Over the past few decades they have hardly gone out of their way to endear themslves to the people of nations hosting European and World Cup competitions.

But Jah, seeing as you are in read-only mode at present...there you go...

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
