Come Here To Me!

This one has been getting better and better in recent seasons.

While the ultra scene in Ireland ain’t what she used to be, with the SRFC Ultras and Shed End Invincibles both marking ten years this year the two groups have been among the most active on the island. I arrived into Tallaght Stadium seconds before kick off and both sides of the stadium were prepared. The home supporters raised a ‘ONE LOVE’ banner, while in our end dozens of streamers rained down onto the pitch, in red, white and yellow. Classic and simple, and visually as good as it gets.

Second half displays are to be expected with two groups like this coming head to head, and when the teams re-emerged onto the pitch following half time these two efforts went up. The SRFC Ultras banner is a response to the ‘NEVER RELEGATED’ banner at St. Patrick’s, while the Shed End Invincibles banner pokes fun at the manner in which South Dublin County Council recently attempted to name a stand in Tallaght Stadium after Robbie Keane.

Isn’t football great?
