That's genuinely incredible.
(I'm assuming here he didn't travel on a fake passport of course! But seeing as he got through the border with no problems the other way, you have to wonder what's happened here)

Strange story. With biometric data embedded in the passport it cant be too hard to confirm identity even if someone put on or shed 50kg since the photo was taken.Quote:

Starting to add up now in fairness.

Robbie Keane has called Stan Petrov now,finally getting some payback from that contract!
That sounds as plausible as any reason. Not quite the same but there was a pretty well known Dundalk fan (used to post here if he doesnt still under a different name) refused entry to a country at a road border (Belarus maybe) because the passport was deemed too tatty.Quote:

Presume McGinty is gone at this stage? Or is he available for this evening?
They’d be right to expect to win comfortably
Not gone yetQuote:

Saints are back in red tonight, shock horror. I’m hopeful of getting something tonight. I’d be delighted with a 1-1.
I've had this experience, also coming back from a football trip, fair play to him if thats the case.Quote:

Bit strange for one person on a bus to be singled out for something like that, no?Quote:

RTÉ are reporting that -
That sounds ridiculous, especially after the guy showed other ID cards too. I think the fact he's been released so quickly implies the Bulgarian authorities are 100% in the wrong. Hopefully something he can have a laugh over in time to come, but not a nice experience at all by the sounds of it.Quote:

We'd still go out but at least Tuesday would be more interesting.
