Gibraltar is not an Island

It's a Peninsula, which in German is called a Halbinsel, or half-island, so he was half right....


....if he speaks German

Halbinsel was the word i was looking for




so it 's like a bigger version of crammond island, a sorta half-island when the tides oot

Forest turned up in numbers at the game. About 3 bus loads as I recall - all staying in Faro on the Algarve. There was an altercation during the game. It was ugly but it was swiftly dealt with - the Portuguese polis don't mess about with them big sticks! Clear who they blamed as well as they ran the Forest buses out of town immediately after the game. We had our car at the Forest "end" & the police kept us from walking round until they'd moved the Forest buses away then one of the top Polis who spoke very good English walked us round. He confirmed where he thought the blame lay.

I sensed something might happen before the game that night as both sets of fans went to same booth to buy tickets & there were what I would regard as sectarian comments by some Forest fans & one or two were giving it the engerland anti-IRA chants, Thing they were getting Hibs muddled with Celtic. Yes, some Hibs fans reacted to it inside the ground but mix provocation with sun & beer & it happens.

Sure the Baldy Foghorn can confirm my take on events?

I'd just emphasise it wasn't all the Forest fans. Myself, Baldy Foghorn & a certain Fans Rep director shared a hotel with some Forest fans in the wee town where the game was played & they were smashing lads, both before & after the game & they laid the blame squarely on their "nutters" as they called them.

about as ignorant as their bigoted sectarian brethren through in Govan anyways, ta for clearing that all up :)

Was in the main square before the game having a few drinks with Hibs and Forrest fans. Then I had a few drinks in a pub with more Forrest fans and it was a great day out.
When it kicked off inside the ground I was disgusted with the Portuguese Police who seemed to pick on anyone who was not involved in the fighting inside the ground. I tried to stop a policeman attacking an old man and a young girl about 12-14 ( probably his granddaughter) and was bull whipped back and side was covered in Black and blues.
After the game went back to the square and sat with the same Forrest supporters as before. They must have made friends with a Hibs fan because one of the young Forrest lads that was there came up and spoke to me at Ibrox last season (2-0 game ) and said he was totally impressed with the atmosphere we were creating that night. Told him it's not always like that and he said he knew as he had been to several Hibs games.

Conrad Turner texted me tonight mate and said they have limited spaces but Hibs supporters are welcome. Smart casual dress no trainers jeans or football tops. Seems a bargain at £20.

Aye, we kept in touch with 3 of the lads and they came up for Ibrox in Feb and loved the match and atmosphere. Group of us heading down there in Nov for their match against Derby.

Hope you have a great time.
