“Stand up for the Boys in Green!”

Not all of us have been lucky enough to travel to France, but that doesn’t mean we’re not getting behind the Boys in Green.

Euros match parties have been happening up and down the country and if you’re planning on having one, you should probably be warned that these are the people who are going to come.

The expert

When watching the game, there is always one person who spouts all the facts they can think of. Expect to know where Robbie Brady gets his haircuts and where Wes Hoolahan bought his first pair of football boots.

All very interesting. All very useless.

The rugby fan

There’s nothing like the rugby fan pontificating about the graces of sportsmen who don’t worry about their hair, or fall over at the slightest touch.

We have no idea what they’re talking about.

The control freak

This person will organise Mexican waves during the most inopportune moments and they’ll also have dance moves co-ordinated for any moments of celebration.

The ‘1990 was way better’

“Jon Walters? We had Ray Houghton!”

There’s always one nostalgia merchant who thinks it was always better back in ‘the good old days’.

The know-nothing

Bless these guys, they’re trying their best to get behind the side, but they don’t have a clue! Expect a cheer for every corner and a hiss at every throw-in.

The ‘X Factor is on’

This is a variant of the ‘know-nothing’ supporter. They know nothing, and they don’t care.

‘SHHHHHH’ merchants

Some people want to hear every single syllable the wonderful George Hamilton is uttering…

The optimist

We’re going to win it all! Wes is better than Messi, Randolph is world class, etc, etc, etc.
