Eckauskas Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Same thing happened in Old Town square in Prague IIRC. This boy even shouted to people to watch what he was about to do. Threw the ball up and tried to volley it before falling on his arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Nah mate, leaving from Edinburgh. How're you getting down then?

We watched the defeat at Tannadice in a boozer first, with about 3 pints each. Let's just say that booze and that bus journey did not mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzyonthefence Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Me too! Hearts songs only unless the Tottenham supporters want a British sing song in the stadium.

Radioactive Mince Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Find it funny that some are mocking the idea of fans congregating together for a few beers and a sing song. It's exactly what happens on every away Euro tie. Braga, Bordeaux, and Prague most recently spring to mind! This. Exactly what was missing in Hungary IMO. Plenty lovely grassy squares in Pest ripe for a kickabout, carry out and pub invasions but small groups of supporters spread far and wide; far too many of them choosing to remain in a Scottish boozer for the duration. Trafalgar Square would be immense. No kilts, Flower of Scotland or see you Jimmy hat for me. **** that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzyonthefence Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Debatable No it's not - Hearts are representing Scotland, Spurs are representing England, but more importantly they're representing themselves. Britain don't get representatives in the Europa League as there isn't a British league - it's not that difficult to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzyonthefence Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Have we got an angry Scottish nationalist here? I'm not angry, just curious as to why you would want to partake in some British sing songs at a Hearts v Spurs game? Quite popular down Ibrox way though - maybe you should try there.

Whether you like it or not we're also representing Scotland and the Scottish league. Not sure the Hobos will agree we're representing Edinburgh but technically we are. If the fans misbehave it reflects badly on HMFC, Edinburgh and Scotland. Don't understand the relevance of your point about Edinburgh not being the capital of Britain and I would like to think that everyone on JKB is aware that it is the capital of Scotland! No doubt the Scottish media will probably try to make this into a Battle of Britain wheareas the English media won't be all that interested because it's not the Champions League and it's not the OF.

Couple of half decent Wetherspoons/Bateman's, the best liquor store in the world nearby in Chinatown/Soho (not sure where it's classed as) and a casino where I seem to be fairly lucky in Plenty arty wee films next door to the boozers at the Odeon for the cautious poof brigade, too.

Whether you like it or not, we are in the tournament thanks to our position in the SPL, therefore we are representing the SPL and Scotland. Why are these basic points even being debated?

The rules of the gang are wear what you like, sing what you want, drink what you like and have a party ? So Trafalgar or Leicester Square ??

Gibbster Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Leicester square pretty much completey closed due to major refurbishment and a crap idea to boot http://www.radissonedwardian.co.uk/leicester-sq-webcam.html I'm based in the city and there aren't many outdoor spaces to drink in but the best option would probably be The Globe on the corner of Moorgate and London Wall - Decent boozer 5 minutes from L'ppol st with outdoor standing room for 200ish at least. Other than that the bars at Broadgate circle by liverpool st or the wetherspoons there. The globe: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3228/2804280128_f9e990e2d1.jpg There's more outdoor space to the left of this pic and the boozer will be empty from 2-5 and then probably avoided by city types if we are there en masse. Also there is a large boozer at lpool st imaginatively called the railway tavern which is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
