My trip was sadly interrupted by a killer virus that wiped me out for the trip - fly to belgade, sleeper train to Podgirica, into Skhodra Albania, ferry from Bar to bari on the day of the game, vomiting, crying and a 1AM coach to Ancona to get the next mornings ryanscare flight back to Blighty.


we lost the coach at a desterted service station near to lecce and then walked for 4 hours through to the train station to get the train that got us to Ancona with minutes to spare.


Every single step was agony


I cant remember much of the game as I was lying down on the crumbling terraces


I have to admit that my worst Italian experiences as detailed above were Champions league games v Inter & Juve - unpleasant, if only for the final result- hence my tainted viewpoint



now last months game in Prag was another matter...

I didn't expect you to want me to spell out that Scotland have never got past Round 1 (assuming they'd entered or not withdrawn) of the EC or WC.


Having said that, I'm not feeling particularly big in my pants about Italy's position in their group.

maybe, but we won the Kirin cup the other year.


now thats not something the likes of Pele or maradona can boast about

Wouldn't you just know it, Germany win via a free kick, scored by my favourite German player Mr.Gonad, aka Bollock. They were so average last night it was painful. I really hope they don't progress any further because the quality and standard of their play is woeful.

I think Italy and Holland will both come through from that group.


France = England if they'd qualified. Meaning the prevailing assumption that by just scraping through a poor group, they'll be fine once they get to the real thing, because they have so many world class players.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
