Football fans arrested in Dublin after England's 2-0 win over Ireland

Football fans arrested in Dublin after England's 2-0 win over Ireland
Ireland and England football fans hurled insults and beer cups at each other as police intervened to make several arrests after England's 2-0 win over Ireland in Saturday's Nations League opener in Dublin.
As English fans exited the Aviva stadium in the Irish capital some chanted "Rule Brittania!" while Ireland fans chanted "the IRA" in response, referring to the Irish Republican Army paramilitary group. Irish police told AFP that a "low number of arrests" were made after the game without giving further details. The match was only England's second trip to Dublin in 29 years after a 1995 friendly between the teams was abandoned when visiting fans rioted at Lansdowne Road.

TOP COMMENT

[@WilliamMahoney-qu2dv]

I'm sure the UK and Ireland have got more important issues to deal with rather than a game of football.

These two sets of opposing fans need to grasp that they are all victims of their own governments. Their futures are blighted and they need to realise what they have in common!

[@republicofhandball8815]

I don't get it. The Irish economy, for the first time in history, is doing very well and much better then the struggling English economy.

[@noelwhelan8963]

We have nothing in common

[@lindalonergan7887]

Neither set have the intellect to see that and both governments want it like that.The English are shouting about an empire that's dead and the irish are shouting about an organisation that's dead while starmer and harris are laughing all the way to their woke eutopia.

Well said

[@VelcroKittie]

The majority of Irish people have absolutely no problems with the English. I lived and worked in England for 11 years, and have incredibly close friends to this day. I was treated so well and haven't a bad word to say about my experience. The real enemy is the rise of alt-right thinking that is trying to spread propaganda ala Tommy Robinson style. Unfortunately I see that you are alluding to this. Thankfully groups that think in line with the likes of Tommy Robinson will never be large.

What's the real enemy? Enlighten me, it was an effing football match. I doubt Dublin will have the same problem when they host Greece and Finland. Always England in every city. I know it is a small minority but still always England. Not sure why you reference governments to this, it was a football match that England won. Congrats, enjoy yourselves, have a few drinks and be respectful especially when you're away from home.

​@artsed08 herd logic , football fans as a collective are usually child like , so many don't care about the real world and only focus " on their clubs " , they will turn up in large numbers to support their teams but won't turn up when their countries need them . They travel overseas to " support their club " but won't turn up to vote at a local election . And btw English fans are known world wide for disgusting behaviour. Both sides were at it

Bigger problems? You mean alt-right, anti-immigration groups setting fire to property? We don't have to worry about them. They're in the minority, and they're not growing as a group because they haven't got an official statistic to share between them. The vast majority of Irish people aren't buying your crap, nor ever will. You can't expect a movement that relies on conspiracy theories to be in any way ground breaking, let alone sustainable.

[@gloin10]

@pegitwillcomebacktoyou "We need to stick together as we have bigger problems coming"? WE, as in Ireland, are NOT together with you now, nor for any time in the last 102 years. There was this wee thing called 'The Irish War of Independence'? You might have heard of it? And we have NO interest in joining you at any time in the future. Thanks, but no bloody thanks!

"At the end of the day were all British and from the same islands"? No, we simply are NOT. I know that you seem to find this hard to accept, but Ireland has been INDEPENDENT since 1922. No-one in Ireland, the Republic of, is remotely interested in being British. No, we are NOT "...from the same islands." Ireland is an island to the west of continental Europe, separated from continental Europe by the island of britain to its east.
