European travel thread

[Forza Cuore]

Still incredulous that this Livi / Hibs walloper expected a different outcome.

 

Needs his hardrive checked.

Saldly no, I saw from higher up at the corner there were a few jambo v jambo fists flying and security staff being manhandled at the vomitory for at least five minutes, not unlike in Zagreb.  
Also being seated at the corner next to the separating fence there was a man with a UEFA bib and telephoto lens photographing the hearts supporters antics.

I read on twitter, some hibby rejoicing, that there was hearts on hearts fightin in our end,,but not seen anything else about it, until you mentioned it..

I heard that they made it in time for the second half.

Think they made it in just as Zurich had scored their first! I blame them for our collapse. Craigy and the defence probably looking around to see if they were in the ground yet.

Unfortunately true .

Got dug up by self appointed PHM in Bordeaux bar for not being a Hearts fan . No idea why.

You don't need to wear a Hibs strip to attract the ******s in our support 

I remember some little tit, coming up to me in robbos before a utd game yrs ago, askin "who you supportin today mate"...I had a hearts polo shirt and scarf on..***** would have been at nursery when I was at my 1st game..kinda went off the place after that..

You only have yourself to blame. Maybe would have been better wearing the new Livi top then it would be people laughing and pointing at you. Instead you Hibsd it . 

If he'd wore his livi top, he'd have got a few back slaps, seein as livi gave us a great laugh, pumpin the vermin in the lge cup final a few yrs back..somethin for him to reflect on, while he puts ice on his black eye😂🇱🇻

I saw guys in hearts tops throwing punches at each other, one in particular doing what looked like a pro boxer combination, fast and accurate. That said there were plenty of supporters separating them and trying to calm the situation as well as trying to convince the stewards to take no action.

Spot on.  Maybe he should try wearing a Hearts top the next time he goes to Easter Road.  See how that works out.

Absolutely shocking that someone was punched just for wearing a hibs top. I'd love to get my hands on this person so I can buy them a pint.

I've heard from mates who were there that someone got headbutted a thrown down the stairs. I'll not say his name but everyone will have heard of him before that's for sure.

On the topic of stairs I have never seen so many people fall on a set of stairs in my life must be a few sore arses and heads this morning. Stairs were covered in rain water and beer very dangerous 

[Morgan]

I’ve heard it all now.

 

Some pea-brain shows up at a Hearts game wearing a Hibs top and is surprised to get a smack in the chops?

 

The most stupid thing about it all is the donning of a Vermin shirt in the first place.

 

What a clown.

Just wanted to say thanks to Sandy and his crew that gave my mate and I some great chat on the bus from St. Gallen to the stadium, and all the other folks that responded with a smile to me (a Livi fan, living in Zürich) wearing a Hibs top for a bit of harmless banter. My pal is a big Hibee and we came along to enjoy the game in good spirits and get a dose of much-missed Scottish craic. (He contributed in this thread as HibbyInZurich to help folks with travelling to the game.)

 

To the chap that punched me in face outside the stadium, despite us being as friendly as can be: take a look at yourself. We’re all people pal. To the folks that kindly stopped by to help out but asked "what did you think would happen wearing a Hibs top?": sorry, but you're part of the problem. We can't normalise such behaviour - it is not acceptable to lamp someone just because they support another team, even if they're your arch rivals, and even if you're pished.
 

Especially as Scots abroad, we're better than that.

Guy on our tram to the ground pulled his jacket open to reveal the same with a shout of ‘Glasgow Celtic’. Was swiftly and appropriately dealt with. 

[Holyrood_Hearts]

I’m a bit confused. The Livi fan wearing a Hibs top got punched, but the actual Hibs fan mate (presumably not wearing any football colours) didn’t?

Two things.

 

If he was a boy, he shouldn’t have been in a bar anyhow.  Secondly, one has to be 16/17 years of age to require a passport .

 

It looks like the Twitter information is, as usual, a load of nonsense.

On the way to Bosnia for the Champs League qualifier and greeted at the border by a local in a Celtic tap who told 20 of us to "**** off, this is a Catholic country".  One guy wound him up by asking what had happened to all the Muslims. Not a place I'll ever revisit.

I may be completely off track but if it's the one name that all fellow Hearts fans would know then I don't think many would lose sleep over him getting a sore face

Draw next friday, Europa League starts at 12 our time, Conference league 1.30

 

Will obviously be the usual build up and will be strung out a bit. 
 

Would anyone happen to know at what point the fixtures are confirmed? Would be good to know when can start making travel arrangements from

Heard the same thing last night. He who was head butted was mentioned in the transfer thread by name and tweet as he replied to Banderson when the news about the South Korean lad came about arguing about sources. 
 

He is a WAlloper.

Thursday was a clear indication we are not ready for that

Thank goodness someone is talking about important stuff on this thread.

I would imagine it be relatively quick and hopefully early the following week.

On the topic of stairs I have never seen so many people fall on a set of stairs in my life must be a few sore arses and heads this morning. Stairs were covered in rain water and beer very dangerous 

 

That stairwell was murder. I was about four seats in, and, as you pointed out, the number of fans who took a tumble was ridiculous. The luckiest guy of the lot was the big, baldie guy with a beard who catered down the steps but managed to fall backwards into other fans, which saved him from a right sore one.

Stairs in that Affekt bar were a lot worse, some poor Hearts fan tumbled down them on Wednesday night and split his head open same happened in the bar next door aswell. Soaking wet steps cause of spilt beer etc didn't help.

 

Seen the boy that fell downstairs in Affekt at the game and he was alright thankfully. Somebody almost crashed over into me at the game on the stairs which had me concerned but thankfully kept balance.

I would have thought our fixtures are known straight after the draw?  I.e. we will know who we are home and away to for each match-day.  The only thing we won't know is the kick off time, venue (although for most teams that will be obvious) and possibly the day of the game (although the vast majority will be on a Thursday).

UEFA super computer works its magic with the group stages draw right away and we should know in the hours that follow. So trips/hotels can hopefully be booked by next Friday night all going well.

 

Kick off times are likely to be 5.45pm - Away games. 8pm - Home games,  UK time unless we are playing in Azerbaijan or Kazkahstan where they kick off slightly earlier.
