I'm English but absolutely love everything about Ireland: the culture, accent, music (favourite band is the Dubliners), comedy, tv shows (Derry Girls and Father Ted) and the scenery. I went to Dublin for my 18th birthday and it is one of my favourite cities, we went on a Dubliners tour guided by me and also looked at a load of the historic places. Did you know the Irish for Dublin is Dubh Linh which means Black Pool.

Shamrock fans would be shocked to know that we also have Bohemians in the Czech Republic. But Bohemians in the Czech Republic play in green and white just like Shamrock.

[@FTGouldey]

It would be really cool to see you at Sligo Rovers mate. Dixie Dean (Played 600 games for Everton) played half a season for us in 1940. He scored 7 goals in 10 games and got us to a cup final. We also have produced good talent over the years, with Seamus Coleman being a prime example. Everton bought him off us for €70k! Anyway you would be welcomed with open arms in the Showgrounds :)

[@RandomHuman91]

Always have had an interest in Irish Football and am glad you have covered a game! Hope many more to come

[@niallcassidy7219]

It was an honor to have you visit Tallaght Stadium Sam. Lots of Rovers fans support your channel. I can remember suggesting you should come to Ireland a couple of years ago, and now you have delivered. I was sitting in the same stand as you but didn't see you. Either way thanks again for your visit, and remember your always welcome back to Shamrock Rovers.

[@jordangchelseafc2007]

If you make it over to Dublin and don't come up to Belfast to do a video on the Oval (Glentoran's stadium) you've definitely missed out big time! The stadium was bombed in 1941 and destroyed by the German Luftwaffe. There's still a WW2 pill box in the stadium from then and tons of other history. That's not even taking into effect that the stadium is one of the last of its kind in world football with the old school stands and terrace and some of the greatest players of all time have graced the pitch (Cruyff, Eusebio, Best etc). Also Glentoran are the only team from Ireland to win a European trophy (Vienna Cup 1914) and there was a recent BBC Documentary made about it and the Oval is the 2nd most popular stadium to visit for ground hoppers behind La Bombanera (Boca Juniors). I know you'll absolutely love the stadium. Contact the club and they'll arrange a tour for your channel!

[@Kibol92]

Talking about the stadium attendence. It was sold out completely, 4 day before the game, where the south stand was sold out weeks before the game. On the south stand there was loads of people standing on the stairs etc, few empty seats on the stadium doesn't mean it wasn't full. Btw the gap had to be there between home and away fans.

[@ryuhayabaker]

7,600 were there if I remember; but game was a sell out. The block of 200 or so to separate the away fans

[@stevenbhoy0147]

Nice tae see Irish fibaw get some recognition, great atmosphere 🇮🇪

[@peteroreardon8547]

Cork City fan here and even though they're in the first division at the moment, they always have a good atmosphere too. I lived in Sweden for two years and would definitely recommend one of the Stockholm Derby's. AIK, Hammarby or Djurgarden. Watch any of those 3 teams play against each other. My team is IFK Norrkoping over there and they always have a good atmosphere, especially when Malmo, Gothenburg or the three Stockholm teams visit.

[@Hartley_Hare]

I work for a company based in Cork and am getting really, really interested in the Cork City story. There seems to be such a good and positive feeling around the club that it seems irresistible. If I get asked to visit the head office, then I really want to go to a game.

I went to Shamrock vs Finn harps this year when I was in Dublin visiting family. Got to admit, one of best atmosphere's of a game i've been to! The hoops are a very welcoming and great crowd.

Sligo is the name of the 2 gaa teams hurling and Gaelic football which occupy the 4th division of the national hurling and national Gaelic football league, Sligo Rovers on the other hand are TOP Division in League of Ireland football.

Yes it's expensive but I love Temple bar. Plenty more to Temple bar than pubs etc...Some excellent restaurants, art galleries, unique shops, open air concerts during summer, theatres etc... and one can go on. Point is there are also plenty of positives to recommend T Bar, in my view.

[@bohsgerry]

reason for empty seats is that people who buy them tend to crowd at the back of the stands if you look closely-empty seats dont look great but they are TAKEN its just the hardcore crowd at the back-same with the spaces at the BOHS side.Also the risk of trouble as both teams do NOT like each other tends to lead to some spacing needed but iots mainly the crowding at back causes it

[@fergusdesmond546]

Always great to see foreigners at our games and long may it continue. To clarify the reason why the season was changed in 2003 to summer football was to ensure better European results and this has been successful with Rovers (not shamrock) becoming the first Irish club to play in group stages of European football in 2011. Of course the change has also meant better pitches like you saw in Tallaght and less postponed games. Work has started on the new north stand so we will have a 10,000 seater stadium soon.

[@seosamhofionnaghain5555]

Ferguson Desmond: If it's not Shamrock then why is Shamrock the first name ! England onlookers tend to use the of a club unfamiliar to them . So do Scotland football club fans . As an observer living in Co Kerry where Gaelic Football is king I've noticed Sligo Rovers fans refer to themselves as Rovers and Shamrock Rovers as The Shams!!

Shamrock Rovers v Bohemian was a great place to start and you've already been to Windsor Park for Linfield. So next stop is the Belclassico - Glentoran v Linfield. Go to the Oval, it's a great old school ground and the atmosphere will make Rovers v Bohs look restrained. Then you could take in Coleraine and Derry City in two leagues and one weekend if you get the schedule right. Next up Cliftonville v Crusaders at Solitude or a Larne game in the Irish League and Dundalk, Cork City or Bohemian in the League of Ireland. Though any of them are geat really.
