How the rest of the world see us....

The IRA is so retro now is it not cool and hipster to sing about it?

As long as everyone is having a good time it scarcely matters.

Careful now, there are standards of discussion on this forum. Please refrain from abusive language. People might think just because you use abusive and offensive language, that we all use abusive and offensive language, we all get tarred by the same brush.
Don't let the fact that I don't believe you, let you slide into a morass of moral decay.

THIS EVENING IN POZNAN

Yeah. They really hated our presence.

I hope the friendly in Poznan idea happens.

Ya, we will bring the flag back if it does :)

In fairness the waiters and waitresses did hate us by the end of it, and rightfully so.

Speak for yourself...
:rolleyes:

And Torun would be better than Poznan!

Poznan fan zone for the Spain - Portugal game:

sorry, missed your edit

No bother...only messing.

That footage is amazing. And to think some people are embarrased by how we behaved out there.

yeah, but I'm not driving from Berlin next time.

Aye. Funny though how some selective people are about giving credit though.

:rolleyes:

And what's wrong with a train (or even bus) from Berlin-Poznan?

You didn't have to share a car with Bonnie.

Hence the, er, public transport suggestion...

Anyway, how was he so 'terrible'?

He talks a lot. Really, a lot.

I'm all on for visiting nice places but a 3+ hour transfer for a friendly is a bit much.

you can fly directly to poznan, but i gather you are on about torun.
