The Polish Olympic Committee has decided to award Irish fans for their brilliant support at the Euros last year

One of the few things we didn’t want to forget about after the Euros was the amount of craic that our fans had over there when they travelled in numbers to support the Boys in Green, like this brilliant moment when ‘The Fields of Athenry’ rang around Gdansk.
It seems that we weren’t the only ones who don’t want to forget that though, as the Polish Olympic Committee has decided to award Irish fans the fair play award, normally given to athletes who are models of fair play in their sport, and which has been in existence since 1963.
The Olympic Committee said that during the Euros “the Irish fans demonstrated excellent support, joyful spontaneity and real devotion to their team. This fantastic behaviour presented not only at the stadiums, captivated our Polish hearts and still remains as a model to follow”.
Aw shucks, you’re making us blush, Poland.
