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

6 players who could play their way into a big-money move this summer>
‘Back in 96, I was delighted to play one game for Ireland so to be here 20 years later is phenomenal‘>
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!!
Sketch, its the fun police!
Think of it more as something funny on a green white and gold background if that makes ya feel better
The42 will be spending the entire summer reminding us how deadly we are
Missed the Roy Keane one with the play on the conor mcgegor quote. “We’re not here to take over, we’re here to take part”
Thought that was the best one ive seen
or have I just dreamt that. I can only find the proper quote on the flag. Still think my way is funnier
Maybe we’re not that sharp after all
They are all shite. Embarrassing stuff.
Cringe worthy crap
no, i just think our national flag should be treated with respect and not as a rag for lads who wanna get on “da tele”
‘Angela Merkal thinks we’re at work’ the best ever.
Them protestants, always up to no good
I wish some of the flag creators were posting on here. Might be happier. I enjoyed them.
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?
Yep, he would likely start if he’d opted for Ireland
He just won the Toulon tournament with the England U21s. Will probably be playing at a higher level than the Championship next year.
Didn’t play in the final anyway, not even as a substitute
Scored two goals in the tournament
Ah you shower of dry shites here. COYBIG.
Can you imagine, an actual shower of dry shite.
Wouldn’t be that dry for long?
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?
Also to stay on topic that Todd Umptious flag is outstanding
Probably because it’s not news. Or interesting.
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.
Wasn’t it Northern Ireland that were warned today? For wearing branded training gear
Try Jersey Shtore on FB….. u will get jerseys without sponsor :-)
I thought the father Ted one was best. Some feens need to lighten up big time on here.
So what number did Jack Grelish get for the England squad on holiday so missed this news!
2 goals in the Toulon tournament winning team
