Die-hard Oasis fan goes viral after sneaking into Croker gigs by hiding in loos
Oasis performed two nights at the northside Dublin venue on Saturday and Sunday.
And while hundreds who were left ticketless outside the stadium enjoyed the concert in their own way, one fan decided to chance his arm by sneaking into Croke Park disguised as bar staff.
The young fan uploaded a reel on TikTok showing how he managed to gain entry into the GAA stadium with a fake wristband. He revealed he hid in a toilet for three hours, even boasting how he managed to 'sneak past the Guards".
'This may be the greatest masterplan,' he began. 'My fake worker outfit,' he said as he showed off his all-black get-up. He shared his wristband
'I got a worker wristband by queuing for one or then using a fake name. The view before crowds arrived
'I then snuck around the boss and found my way around the stadium to hide in the toilet.
'Spent three hours here. Trying to find my way to standing. Harry hid in a toilet for three hours
'Finally found a way, after sneaking past the guards and pretending I work in the front standing bars using the wristband.
'The masterplan was complete.' Harry makes it to the standing area
In July, another die-hard fan snuck into one of their gigs by posing as a litter warden. UK fan John Spilsbury marched through the gates of Heaton Park in a hi-vis vest in Manchester.
He said at the time: 'Transport planner John, 42, said he had arrived in Manchester ticketless but with a "master plan' after borrowing a yellow hi-vis vest and litter grabber from work.
'I took it with me as a last resort. They'd been lying around in one of the warehouses so I borrowed them for a bit,' said the transport planner from Alfreton, Derbyshire. I was quite lucky.
'It was just unbelievable really. From a security point of view, it was easy to get in and they didn't check for any tickets.
'I was acting very casual and when I saw the security guys I started picking up litter around them, saying 'Mind if I grab that mate' and I walked through.
'I did a half hour shift of picking, filling a bag with beer cans and plates.
'It was well worth it. I didn't get paid for the work but I got a free concert.'

Bitter Oasis feud ‘buried once and for all' as Noel heaps praise on younger brother Liam for ‘smashing it' on tour
OASIS idol Noel Gallagher last night heaped praise on his brother over their sell-out reunion tour, saying: 'Liam's smashing it.' Thrilled Noel, 58, added: 'It's great being back in a band with Liam. I forgot how funny he was.' 3 The feud between Oasis brothers Liam, left, and Noel Gallagher has been 'buried once and for all' Credit: Big Brother Recording 3 Noel heaped praise on his brother over their sell-out reunion tour, saying: 'Liam's smashing it' Credit: Pacific Coast News 3 Noel had particular praise for Liam's voice on the tour Credit: Reuters Oasis rocked Dublin on the tour's latest leg, with the brothers back on song after a 15-year feud. Noel revealed his legs turned to jelly on the first night in Cardiff on July 4. He also appeared to be tearful during a performance of Talk Tonight in Edinburgh. He told talkSPORT: 'We're not a band who have huddles before we go on or anything like that. 'I grossly underestimated what I was getting into. READ MORE ON OASIS WE'RE ON FIRE Chart-topping band reveal Oasis have 'inspired' upcoming new album 'After about five minutes (in Cardiff), I was, 'Oh, all right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again, because this is . . . 'I've done stadiums before and all that, but I'm telling you, my legs turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song and I could've done with going back and taking a minute. 'But it's been an amazing thing.' Asked how emotional it was when he and Liam hugged at the end, he said: 'We're not those kind of guys really, do you know what I mean? 'It's great just to be back with Bonehead (guitarist Paul Arthurs) and Liam and just be doing it again. 'I guess when it's all said and done, we'll sit and reflect on it.' Liam Gallagher refuses to drop spat with Edinburgh council bosses at Dublin gig Liam's voice has been praised for sounding as good as in the band's 1990s heyday and Noel joked with host Andy Goldstein: 'It's AI.' When Goldstein complimented Noel's vocals during the 41-date tour, he replied: 'I'm the songwriter, you know what I mean? 'I'm not really the singer. 'But Liam's smashing it, yeah. 'I'm proud of him. 'I've been fronting a band (High Flying Birds) for 16 years. 'I know how difficult that is. 'I couldn't do the stadium thing like he (Liam) does it. 'It's not in my nature. 'I've got to say, man, I look around and think, you know, 'Good for you, mate.' 'He's been amazing.' Oasis split in 2009 after Noel and dad-of-four Liam fought backstage at Paris's Rock en Seine festival. Noel said he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer', and the brothers exchanged insults in public for years. KNEBWORTH HOPES But last year, to the delight of fans, the band announced their comeback. Noel refused to confirm rumours of the band returning to Knebworth next year, 30 years after they played to 250,000 fans over two nights. Quizzed over the idea, Manchester City fan Noel replied: 'Right, let's talk about football.' Noel later said it was 'sad' that there are still many fans who have not had the chance to see them - after tickets sold out within minutes. Goldstein suggested those unfortunate ones would 'easily get to see you at Knebworth'. Noel responded: 'Right, when are we doing that?'

Ottawa Rose opens up about tragic loss of father and last phone call they shared
Rose of Tralee contestant Aidan Russel has opened up about the death of her father, bravely telling of the last phone call she had with her beloved dad. Ottawa Rose Aidan said she entered the Rose of Tralee to honour her late beloved father from Northern Ireland. The 27-year-old was working in Dublin at the Embassy of Canada to Ireland last year when she received the devastating news that her father was going to die. He had been diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune and neurological condition, and the family lost him just before Christmas. She didn't make it home to Canada on time to say goodbye, but fondly remembers their last phone call, saying: 'We had a really quick chat, he said he was in pain, he said 'I love you, I'll call you later,' that was our last phone call." Sadly, while in Ireland this week for the Rose of Tralee, Aidan became overwhelmed with grief, prompting her to take a step back. But her fellow Roses were there to support her. "We had a really tough night on Wednesday, we were dealing with some of the legal stuff. The outpouring of love and support I got from 31 girls who I'd known for four days... I can't begin to describe how much love, support and kindness I felt that night." The Ottawa Rose then stunned the crowd with a rendition of Someone's Watching Over Me, which was a tribute to her late dad.

Love Is Blind UK star who was CUT from show revealed despite getting engaged in pods
A LOVE Is Blind UK star has revealed that they got engaged in the pods – though their connection wasn't seen on screen. The Netflix dating experiment returned last week with 15 new men and 15 new women entering the "pods" in a bid to find love with someone without ever seeing them. 5 Ross appeared on Love Is Blind UK but was barely seen on screen Credit: Instagram 5 It's not known who Ross's mystery fiancee is Credit: Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025 Participants only get to meet their match once they get engaged – and from there it's a six week whirlwind to the finish line including romantic getaways, living together, and meeting loved ones. However, with so many connections there to be formed, not everyone gets to make it past the initial stages, even if they put a ring on it. Typically on a Love Is Blind season, up to five couples are followed past the initial stages. And one star – Ross Millington – has revealed he was one of the unlucky people who were halted from continuing the process. As TikTok blew up with analysing the first episode, one fan spoke about Ross's brief appearance on the show. While he was rarely seen in the pods, he was shown chatting with the lads in the men's lounge as he went through the process – speaking to Kai (who did make it through to the next stage) and Demola (who was snubbed by potential match Katisha in favour of Javen in the process). Ross, a 30-year-old barber shop owner at the time of the series being filmed, jumped in on one fans TikTok asking more about him. "That was me," he noted as she pointed him out. "I didn't make it to Greece unfortunately. Reveal went well though." Ross didn't elaborate further, but as he went through a "reveal" it is safe to assume he at least got engaged. A grab of the comment was later posted to Reddit, with fans dissecting who the lucky woman could be. Love Is Blind UK star storms off show and says 'get this mic off me' after branding co-star 'disrespectful' in fiery rant "Good thing he didnt make it to Greece, as they went to Cyprus," joked one. "I counted 2 guys and 2 gals during the "I'm engaged" scenes that had zero screen time," said another. "They are still around during those moments and I would assume they may have ended up as a couple but were not picked to go to Cyprus. "Makes you wonder if their connection was boring/lack of drama to not be picked over Javen and Katisha...." "I've never understood why they pick some and not the others and then don't edit it down more in post production if necessary," said a third. Love Is Blind UK continues Wednesday on Netflix. 5 Ross was largely seen in the boys' quarters speaking to the other suitors Credit: Cr.
