Heartbeat Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 When over in Zagreb two year ago we met an interesting guy namely Zvjezdan Levinger He actually approached us and was into everything Scottish. He had made a pair of bag pipes out of some animal skin or soemthing similar (I kid you not) and played scotland the brave and flower of Scotland to which he told us he had learned the day before on tinternet. Great guy full of life and it seems he is part of some Caledonian Society over in Croatia. He explained he simply loves Scotland. He found me on facebook although I am not a big user. Well imagine my surprise when I looked in the other day and there is pictures of him playing bagpipes and wearing the strip of the mhanky mob. I felt compeled to speak with him and point out the error of his ways and how disappointed I was after meeting us Jambos he could wear that. He sent a reply and was apologetic stating that he has difficulty in getting anything Scottish in Zagreb and was the only Scottish strip he could find and obviously didnt realise how offensive it was. I pointed out that they had more in common with Ireland than Scotland and I would send him a strip. He is posting his address for me. Well I now see this as an opportunity to spread the word in that part of the world and make Hearts a name in his homeland so feel free to look him up and tell him all things jamboish (is that a word) while pointing out how he has mistakingly donned the strip of such a loathsome institution. Or better still send him something. Funnily enough after I replied which basically slaughtered Smeltic I got a "friend" invitation from someone whom I had never heard of and there avatar is a picture of Lennon so I politely declined hmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambali Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 There were a few hoop shirts around in Zagreb. It's a staunchly Roman Catholic country, and one local had a grump at me because "you don't have the Pope". I explained that this referred to another Scottish team - so we became buddies and swapped shirts! Can't do enough PR damage to the weegies!!

Praha06 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just looked him up and it would appear he hasnt taken much u said on board as his profile pic is of him in a mhanks top. Still ive added him with the aim of rectifying that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamhammer Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 My mate in London is a big Arsenal fan. He ordered a pair of 'Arsenal' baseball boots via mail order (expensive) Now he's walking around with 'ARSE' on both feet, much to the amusement of local Spurs, Chelsea & hammers fans. They are feckin horrendous. Gonna get some for my Arsey brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralix Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I am Zvjezdan Levinger! Yes, I was rooting for Celtic because of my ignorance. Many fans in Croatia do not know that Celtic is not Scottish club. Today I was very sorry that I have offended some friends I met when Hearts played in Zagreb against Dinamo. I want you to know that I sold the Celtic jersey! Proudly rooting for Hearts three years and clothe Hearts shirt! A lot of people ask me, why Hearts, Celtic or Rangers do not? For me, Hearts is the pride, Hearts is Scotland, Hearts has the best fans!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astralix Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Good man Astralix! We were in Dubrovnik for a one week holiday this year, Croatia is a beautiful country. I was in Edinburgh last year. I was with friends from the Tartan Army for Croatia match in Glasgow Scotland - Croatia. This beautiful city, great beer and whiskey, all beautiful country and wonderful people who have welcomed us very welcome. We visited Edinburgh Castle, the Museum of the Queen, Loch Lomond, Dunfermline, Stirling Castle, The National Wallace Monument, King Robert the Bruce statue, Bannockburn, Rob Roy MacGregor in Balquhidder, Glasgow. Haggis is awesome to eat, lived five days of Haggis in many ways! Every day we had a party in the clubs organized by the Tartan Army Edinburgh, Church of Maradona Tartan Army! The first time I played the bagpipes Scottish fans in the stadium in Glasgow, and thousands of people sang, it's priceless memories forever! In seven days we all fell in love with Scotland! I'm sure, in the future will come again in Edinburgh, I'll let you do that with you relive rooting for Hearts at the stadium !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam? Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 After working in Ireland for the last couple o months .. To say Celtic fans are more akin to the irish is off the mark .. They are more akin to Brits that live in the green and white side of belfast ! The irish are great people with the men mostly lookin to the English premiership results on a Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astralix Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Who is the highly chuffed cheeky chipmunk next to you? Not perky a man, you're wrong, he's very affectionate and this is the recording in which he lifted the atmosphere. This man is very popular in the world of music and believes it was an honor to meet him. He plays the bagpipes in Red hot chili pipers! http://metro.co.uk/2008/09/10/five-questions-for-stuart-cassells-484329/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralix Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 This is quite simply outstanding. Take a bow Astralix. Thank you, your support means a lot. I am self-taught and only in Croatia playing the Scottish bagpipes, which are in my country very exotic instrument. I know I do not play as a Scotsman, I play three years and I try as much as I can learn the beautiful Scottish songs that I listen to on youtube.
