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I didn't expect you to want me to spell out that Scotland have never got past Round 1 (assuming they'd entered or not withdrawn) of the EC or WC.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

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
