12 Euros flags that prove Irish fans are sharpest in the world

You can’t take us anywhere.

ROB

IRISH FOOTBALL FANS ARE finally on the road to France this week ahead of the Euros, with Ireland playing their first match against Sweden on Monday.

But the actual competition is not on the pitch, would you believe. It’s on the fans’ flags. Here are 12 of the best we’ve seen so far.

1. This classic Eamon Dunphy quip

    Does any one else find people putting “look at me, i’m gas, so i am” slogans/images on the national flag a bit disrespectful?
    Its not done in support of anything other than their egos, so sites like the 42 can show it and let us all know what gas tickets these legends really are…….

    Respect the bloody flag!!

    Though the Jack Grealish one was the best. In a couple of months when he’s struggling to get a game on a Championship side, people will be asking Jack who?

    He just won the Toulon tournament with the England U21s. Will probably be playing at a higher level than the Championship next year.

    So nothing about Ireland being warned by UEFA about training with a sponsor on their kit today? Or do the FAI want that kept quiet?

    Well fair enough. But it’s shite on our fans that we are the ONLY team out of 24 that can’t buy a jersey/training gear without a fecking sponsor plastered on it. Thought it was at least a little paid back karma that the FAI were left redfaced with it today.
