New self-belief means it's not just the Ireland fans drawing praise at Euro 2016
New self-belief means it's not just the Ireland fans drawing praise at Euro 2016

The dark cloud of violence and silver linings at Euro 2016
The dark cloud of violence and silver linings at Euro 2016
As Roy Keane pointed out the other day, the violence which has cast such a dark cloud over these European Championships is actually confined, as ever, to the proverbial tiny minority of the hundreds of thousands of fans who have come from all over the continent, and beyond, to enjoy the football, the fun, and all the good things that France has to offer.

We’ve more than fighting spirit, says proud Martin O’Neill

Robbie Keane: The hurler aiming to be on the pitch at Euros
Robbie Keane: The hurler aiming to be on the pitch at Euros

It won’t be long now until the Euros kick-off...

For the newest generation of Irish football fans, Euro ‘88 belongs to the remote past. France 2016 will be their first time, and just maybe, let’s hope, the best of times too.
