VIDEO: Irish fans block road in France with epic ‘Rock the Boat’ crowd-surf

Alan Loughnane

This is just amazing.

Ireland fans are certainly enjoying themselves in the streets of Paris today as they warm up for Ireland’s clash with Sweden tomorrow evening.

The fans were in great form yesterday when they had a sing-song with Croatian fans in the fan zone.

It seems that their good form has spilled over to today as the fans continue to have the time of their lives in Paris. JOE.ie Editor Paddy McKenna is at the scene and captured some fantastic footage.

If you’re feeling hugely upset at the fact you’re not currently over in France, do yourself a favour and don’t watch it.

It’s so good it’ll make you very upset you’re not over there.

While it remains good-spirited and there’s been absolutely no hint of violence so far – just fans enjoying themselves – the police have been called to the area.

Traffic was being held up by the fans and the police have arrived to ensure that disruptions to traffic are at a minimum.
