I went up the town today to get the white Ireland Jersey, couldn find one anywhere. I am going to keep looking for one, if I cannot get one I will get the green one before the game on Sunday.
Anyway.. ended up getting the black Celtic jersey. When I seen pictures of it I thought it was nice, I did however have some reservations about the celtic band around the crest - it seemed a bit big in the pictures I seen. Although when I seen it, the band seemed way better than the picture, love it now!
Also the dutch jersey's looked class, the France home jersey is probably the nicest jersey of the teams in the euros though. (apart from Ireland obviously )

"but I presume its still green as tribute to Ireland."
Why the tribute, Barry?
Never heard of that.

Ath, from what I can gather its cos we were the first team to play them after the war. Nobody else would.
Hows you mate?

Im open to correction on it though. Ive always heard it stated as fact but it could be a myth for all I know!

I think thats a myth tbh Barry. I have heard it many a time too. Green is the colour of the DFB (German FA). Also I think we were the second team to play them after the war. The Swiss played them first I think.
