WATCH: Ireland fans in Bordeaux sing ‘England’s going home’

Conor Heneghan

A bit of a laugh at the expense of the neighbours.

A large portion of Ireland fans in France have made their way to Bordeaux ahead of the Belgium game on Saturday and quite a lot of them gathered at the Connemara pub to watch England v Wales on Thursday afternoon.

Even before Gareth Bale gave Wales a surprise lead with a long-range free-kick that Joe Hart won’t want to see again in a hurry, there was some mild and fairly harmless slagging of the auld enemy.

It continued into half-time and that was about as much mileage as they were going to get out of it, as substitute Jamie Vardy equalised early in the second-half.

All of a bit of harmless fun.
