What an amazing euro trip this has been. 17 days in France. 4 Ireland matches, 7 matches total, 4 cities visited, too much beer drank, hundreds of songs sang, tens of pizzas eaten, 11 Gary breens, 10 Paul mcgraths etc etc. Couldn't have asked for a better trip.
The Irish squad are an average bunch from a small nation but they did us proud. And we the fans did Ireland proud. Word spread quickly from Paris and Bordeaux about the 'best fans in the world' and we were like celebrities by the time we reached Lille.
At our last big sing song in Lyon tonight at any time there was hundreds and hundreds of French passing by just to see us, say goodbye, take pictures and join in the fun.
We showed the police and locals that football fans can get smashed drunk, be very loud but be peaceful and fun. That's what these tournaments are all about. Make friends not enemies.
TGV from Lyon to Lille tomorrow then I'm flying back to Ireland. After being away from home so long I actually can't wait.
VIVA LA REPUBLIC!!
