Ok, haven’t checked veracity of this, but from reading on Twitter, a lot of travel packages for Irish fans, tickets, accom and all the gubbins, only were available if tickets for both tonight’s and tomorrow’s games (ie both QFs that Ireland would have qualified for) were purchased. Hence the high number of Ireland fans in there this evening. Not condoning it – I tend to think “it’s not your game, sit back and enjoy it” but the singing only really started in the second half when 1, the match was lost and it was just an exhibition and 2, everybody’s probably got a bit hammered. 😀
