we didnt bother gettign on , got the next one 2 hours later , had a compartmetn to ourselves all the way , 48 cans later , we arrived in great form !
Yeah got to my seats, a few lads were siting on them, but i showed them the reserved seats and wasnt takin no for an answer..I was far too tired and hungover to stand...yeah does Roman ever change his clothes?, boy did he love that red fleece
Think i spotted one of your group trying to get on the train at one point, wise move as we couldn't physically get past that point. The amount of police at the train station when we arrived in Prague :eek: And they weren't smiling.Quote:

I thought a funny part in Brat was at the stadium, Schloomp was walking around asking everyone "Where can I find the entry point "? Also several irish fans giving cans to 9 yr olds at the ground! :eek:
Aaaahhhh.......por old Shloooomp!!;)Quote:

Was aul Red Vest on the Monday train as well? Paid the fecker €85 in Bratislava. I know we should avoid touts but I wanted to go to the match having gone the whole way out and thought it was me best chance at the time.
Fair play to the lads who worked out how to reserve the seats. It was much appreciated. Luckily the fellas who were sitting in our seats were absolute gentlemen about getting up. Felt a bit bad about it but they took the chance whereas we paid the extra money.
Interestingly enough when we arrived in Prague airport the taxi driver offered to take the 4 of us straight to Bratislava for £40stg each - I think that's what people paid 1st class for the train isn't it?
yeah but how long did it take in the car in fairness? Id say Roman was left with loads of tickets..he looked fierce nervous the day of the match...
We met him on the Thursday in Bratislava ...Quote:

I hope the giant fcuker was left €100's out of pocket.
loved that red jacket! with all the cash he was pocketing..he fairly loved that red fleece and stank like the bejesus..humphrey *******!
That's the guy who's number I got on the Slovak website weeks ago and it seemed every Irish fan over there had it. We rang him when we got to Bratislava and the price was €70. The next time it was €75. We rang on different phones all the time and the price went up the €85 by the last time we phoned in Bratislava. When we got the Prague we gave him a call and the price was €60. We walked down to him outside our apartments and he was selling them to another lad for €50 so we got them at that price. Crap seats though.Quote:
