loveofthegame Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 And it reminded me of our trip there a few years ago. Still my favourite ever away European trip, travelled for a week on Derek's bus. What a week! Stop off in San Sebastian won't ever be forgotten and the 3 days in Braga were unreal. The place had such a perfect square for us to congregate (beautiful yet even included a Maccy D's for breakfast lunch and dinner...) and THAT fountain. The fact the weather made it like being on summer holiday topped it off, along with the 2 pint plastic glasses of uber strength ''Super-Bock.'' Cracking stadium and result aswell. Superb. Nice wee trip down memory lane that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 That was my last Euro trip as I couldn't make the ones in 2006 due to working away from home. A great trip it was too and remembering it makes me appreciate how much we miss European involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
European Jambos Mum Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 As you can tell I was there. What a wonderful 3 days we had. The square was a great meeting place, the stadium with rocks at one end was unusual and the result superb. Memories...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought EJ's Mum's avatar was a wee bit too sunny. Braga was good as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Chiefo Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Seem to recall seeing trams in Basle though PJ1. When I say trams...I mean a tram system not just one route from one shopping centre to another shopping centre, changing on to a bus if you want to get to the airport.

kissthebadge Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 What a great trip. I remember walking down the aisle of the plane past where Stampy had been sitting. Couldn?t see the floor for empty crisp packets and cans of coke! ..and then there was the sight of Wyness walking onto the plane holding on to an impressive collection of lads-mags for dear life!

kingantti1874 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 didn't we try and sign meyong a while back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_92 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 didn't we try and sign meyong a while back? Yeah, I remember that. We were after him after he scored 17 goals for one of the bottom teams in the Portuguese league but they were asking for ?1.6 mill so that put Vlad off. We signed Pinilla instead:rolleyes: Then again Meyong seems to have been pish since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost in leith Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Great trip, despite a nightmare getting there I remember the "What's the weather like in Leith" T-shirts, admiring the lasses from the TA paddling in the fountain in their tartan mini-kilts , big MDV's 2 goals and an introduction to Super Bock. The walk to the ground was something else - at one stage I thought we were going to have to take a short cut through some local's garden! Hard work on the way back up the hill, but worth it for the celebrations in the square that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
