Paris was rather enjoyable but it's now time for the green army to descend upon another poor unsuspecting corner of the French nation with the kind of joie de vivre that would make you absolutely sick to be sitting in work at your desk.
Next stop somewhere in Bordeaux or the surrounding areas. The truth is that many of the fans that have decamped to the west coast of France, won't have a match ticket for the Belgium game on Saturday. Never has the phrase 'rarer than hen's teeth' been more appropriate but whether it be in Bordeaux itself or nearby La Rochelle, the Irish fans that turned Montmartre into an absolute nightmare for any Parisien daring to drive through their own city are once again out in force.
You may have seen this already but if needs some more focus. As if to really just annoy all the England fans that are complaining about double standards, one group of Irish fans outside the Connemara pub in Bordeaux, took the 'best fan in the world' mantle to piss taking new heights.
Meanwhile in La Rochelle:

And on the other side of Bordeaux in the coastal town of Arachnon, a quiet night during has been proven to be an absolute impossibility.
Big thanks to everyone who's sending their videos into the Facebook group (which you really should be a part of) and make sure to keep them coming.
