Bulgaria Away - 6th June 2009

**magnumpi** · 01/06/2009, 2:36 PM

hope we don't get caught in the cross-fire between rival Sofia fans!!

can't see us winning, would gladly take a drab nil-nil. an article in the indo this weekend had given saying that the bulgarian lads at city have been talking about the game for months. i'd say they're really eyeing this one as the way to get back into the group.

if we do win, 1euro a pint will make for great celebtrations.

Have you ever been abroad for a match lads ffs?!

99% of that notice applies to foreigners coming to Ireland!!

I just thought the link might be useful to some. If you don't want to read it don't bother. To answer your question yes i have been travelling to away games for 20 years.

We'll be on the one from Dub at midday via Munchen. Probably hold off drinking till Munich though so that'll probably be around 3 or 4pm Irish time. Will see any fellow fans at the bar (or in the carpark with a few cans (time & weather permitting)).

Way back in 93/94 JJ Murphy's used to have a dodgy sky box and would show all the matches on RTE. I'm not sure if they still have access but I think it would be your best bet.

I remember watching Celtic v Barcelona on TG4 sitting in the bar there. A crowd of English lads were very impressed that I was able to translate the "Bulgarian" commentary by Sean Ban Breathnach

What day are you flying to Sofia cos a crowd of us who live in Munich are on the morning Lufthansa flight on Friday (9.25am and arrive in Sofia at 12.15pm)?

Yes, but never where they have to segregate the opposition fans.
