S.N.T.H. Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Glad we beat Dinamo tonight, and thought their supporters were absolute nutjob headcases. We clapped them at the end in Section N, but what's with the Vatican Flags? Yes, i know Croatia is 95% RC, but there's no need for it. That, coupled with the Celtic link, has made me vomit. GIRUY Dinamo. PS. That flair was an absolute belter!! Puts the 'Red Ultras' to shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorgieRules1874 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Totally agree mate the ****bags with the Vatican Flags ruined it and crossing us Hearts fans made me sick. And also the celtic flag in their end aswell. Only thing that was missing was the IRA songs. 99% Of the Zagreb fans were superb, talked to a few before the match and they said they loved Edinburgh and were asking why so many people dressed up (meaning the festival up town). The bit i loved the most was when they all turned their backs and flares were sparked. The old bill didn't know who had done it Fought they were brillant apart from the few *****.

jambo19 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 well done to those away fans. some great and hilarious antics going on shirts off was a good one. but yes, no need for vatican flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 It wasn't that long ago that their boys were involved in a little bit of civil war, and by the looks of them, I think some of them would love the chance to carry on. Serious headcases, but they give their team great support. Wouldn't want to let them down too often, or think they might have a word. Did love the flares though. Top entertainment.

CJGJ Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 As usual we are somehow disgusted at a foreign team daring to come from a roman catholic country -- it is 2009 for god's sake -- some of you would have a war on in Ireland, the balkans and the rest of the world if you could, just to prove a point -- what is wrong with being Roman Catholic ? We are on a Football board not a religious board -- log on there and spout your anti catholic rubbish. Some of my best friends are Catholic -- am I supposed to not keep them as friends ?

Malinga the Swinga Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Didn't notice the flags or Celtic tops to be honest. They certainly look and act aggressive, but if you have ever seen the Football factory programme with Danny Dyer (geezer or wat), you will see what they are like in on country. Also documentary about the start of Balkan war was partly caused by Dinamo Zagreb v Red Star Balgrade game, where Boban, the Dinamo captain and then Milan star, karate kicked cop who was hitting Zagreb fan.
