Typical Thick Hun Supporters

[PatHead]

My wife and I flew out to Portugal today. The airport was absolutely full of Huns on their way to Seville and anywhere in Europe closer to the final.
While waiting in the queue I got chatting to 2 supporters fully kitted out in their tops, hats etc.
I was surprised they were on our flight but they explained they just wanted to get to Portugal and rent a car, drive to Seville.
A couple of hours into the flight I checked their plans and they assured me that they had a car booked at the airport.
On Thursday they will drive back to the airport and fly back to Glasgow.
I didn't have the heart to tell them that Funchal is in Madeira and there is one chance of them driving to. Seville.
Maybe they should have looked at a map first before booking.

Hope this is true.

A mate of mine sent me something he’d seen on Twitter, a flight from Manchester to Faro.

One hun booted off before the plane took off. Plane diverted to Nantes so another one could be booted off, and another one had a medical emergency.

It is going to be hell on Earth being anywhere near this shower of idiots this week.

If we ever want to grow up as a country we're going to have to do something about these whoppers.

[PatHead]

I can assure you that this story is true. They didn't drink on the plane as they were driving at the other end.
I am sure that they will manage to get a flight onto Seville but would have loved to have been there when they put Seville into the satnav.

[Bothar Casca]

The reason lots of them are travelling to Portugal first is because Spain are blocking many people at the airport who aren't vaccinated. Allegedly it's easier to fly to Portugal and drive from there.

[Sir David Gray]

Yep Portugal accepts a negative test for non-vaccinated people arriving from the UK, whereas non-vaccinated people (or those who can't prove they have recently recovered from Covid-19) can only enter Spain from the UK if their journey is essential.

Hence why many people will be flying into Portugal first and then travelling from there to Seville.

Faro airport's only a couple of hours from Seville in the car.

Flying was back to normal really.

Just back from a week in Santiago de Compostela. On arriving there, c19 passport checked, straight through passing what looked like temperature checkers. Got back late last night with my first cold in two years. Did a c19 test this morning to be sure, damned second line appeared for the first time in almost two years of checking. That's me now confined to barracks.

Odd as nothing checked just a few weeks ago. Was a later flight - possibly just random check but definitely weren’t checking everyone like a few months ago when flying.

I just got back yesterday from a week's holiday in the Algarve flying to/from Faro. Only passports were checked at Faro and there was no requirement to show a Covid pass or travel locator form (which you were required to complete online before you travel).

However, Portugal is mega strict on wearing face masks on public transport. Basically, you won't be allowed on a bus or train without one. No doubt the huns will cause mega aggro over that :agree:

He was on the flight with them. He's stating that it's a flight to Portugal (I think Madeira is classed as a region of Portugal) to make the story more interesting!

[Iain G]

Do you think, now that up to 100,000 have left the country, we could cancel all of their passports and leave them overseas? Would improve Scottish society ten fold and drag us into the 21st century in one fell swoop 🤣

I worked in a hotel years ago and an angry American woman phoned up who had booked her clients to come and stay in Edinburgh. Apparently her clients were getting messed about and she wanted assistance to deal with the company handling the airport transfer.

After a few minutes rambling she said "And can you just confirm that Gatwick airport is in Glasgow?". I almost died laughing down the phone.

A guy is walking along a street in Glasgow, and sees a Baker's shop with a sign on the window that says "All cakes £1".

So he goes in and looks through the counter, points to something and asks, how much is that.

The Baker replies, "Ah, that's ma Victoria Sponge Cake, and it'll cost you a pound".

The man then points to another item and asks, what about that?

The Baker replies "That's ma Carrot cake, and that'll also cost you a pound"

The man carries on pointing to many other cakes, and the reply from the Baker is always "one pound".

The man then sees a cake at the back of the counter and asks, how much is that cake? The Baker replies, "That cake will be two pound!"

The man shocked exclaims "TWO POuND!! What's with that? Your sign says all cakes are £1. Why is that cake two pound??"

The Baker replies, well sir, that's Maderia Cake".

Think Bout it logistically. They would need a hotel in Seville booked. They'd need to work out the parking situation at the hotel. They'd need to know how long it would roughly take and what time they'd arrive at the hotel. There are two of them involved.

It's a funny story but clearly a tall tale.

I'm sorry, I genuinely don't doubt you but if you're all on a flight to Funchal why did you ask where they were going? Or was it you couldn't believe what you were seeing?

If he opened with 'I was on a flight to Funchal/Madeira today' then there's no pay off. State it was a flight to Portugal then drop in the line about Funchal and there's a clear point where it goes from 'why are you telling us this' to funny.

Do you think, now that up to 100,000 have left the country, we could cancel all of their passports and leave them overseas? Would improve Scottish society ten fold and drag us into the 21st century in one fell swoop 🤣

That would be so cool, they could come back in dingy's and get sent to the We Are the People's Republic of Rwanda

Remember, they're from the country that made Trump their President.

I wouldn't get to smug we are the country that part produced trump

I believe this tale simply because I want it to be true as it’s hilarious to think of these two guys scratching their head when they realise their error 😂😂

You don't need to want it to be true. It is.

Leave it mate. You made a post in good faith and shouldn't be harassed by fellow Hibs fans. It's a shame really.

Well his Dad is of German ancestry so we can only take half the blame 😁

There's absolutely no chance you make that booking without Googleing the directions at some point before you get on the plane.

Put yourself in their shoes. Hibs have reached the Europa Cup final. Someone says to you that all you need to do is book a flight to Portugal and drive to Seville. You have only ever left Govan to go to Manchester or various bits of Northern Ireland for a march.
You see a flight to Portugal (Madeira) and book it. Then book a car.
It is true.

Completely believable we aren't talking about Alan Whicker here we are likely talking about people who would struggle to organise a bus trip into town. :greengrin

Hire a car? Someone should tell them it's just a short swim. A piece of cake no less.

New idea for a TV series:

******s World staring hun support escapades across Europe and afar.

I'm over this site, it use to be a place where you could come and have a laugh / read snippets, some true and some not but now its just a place for ppl to come and snipe / abuse and harass fellow supporters. Is it just a sign of the times where it too easy to hide behind a username and a keyboard ? Is it fans from other clubs "under cover" to cause trouble? Its certainly disappointing to continually read derogatory comments.

[AdidasHibernian]

I find it more baffling some Hibees are actually sticking up for a couple of currants and actually believing they have the brain cells to actually book/plan a successful trip without problems.

They really are a special breed the zombies

Probably all of those things to be honest. Definitely more confrontational than it used to be.

Incredible some seem to be questioned the integrity of someone who has given us this marvellous story. Seems bizarre you would feel the need to question it when it is an absolutely superb ditty about a couple of football fans. Everybody on this site would personally know people who were capable of this mistake never mind a couple of Rangers fans desperate to ge to a cup final.

Years ago a colleague in Glasgow told me about 2 brothers who had never been out of Cambuslang. They had never even been into Glasgow.

One year they decided to go and see Scotland at Wembley. Once on the coach they promptly fell asleep. What seemed like ages later for them the coach stopped and they woke up, go off and started hurling abuse at "they English ********".

They were in Baillieston!

He swore it was a true story, and having been in Cambuslang a few times I'm not doubting him.

I do remember getting on a bus from Hibs Club to go to Coventry for a friendly. Our 1st pit stop was the Rob Roy!

[PatHead]

I'm sorry, I genuinely don't doubt you but if you're all on a flight to Funchal why did you ask where they were going? Or was it you couldn't believe what you were seeing?

Rereading your post I think I've answered my own question. It was you referencing a flight to Portugal rather than Madeira which threw me.

Just couldn't understand why they were on the flight. I assumed that they were getting a flight from Funchal to somewhere else. Struggled to keep a straight face when they told me that they had a car booked.

[Jones28]

I've never seen so much scrutiny on a post as this!

It's absolutely hilarious.

I hope they get spotted, the two saddest holiday makers in world, walking along the beach in all their Rangers gear. :faf:

Perfect, thanks! Superb story!

[Bristolhibby]

TBF, when you punch Portugal into Ryanair, Funchal comes up.

Could be as simple as that.

That said, most normal people would like to have a vague inclination of driving times.

I think the media were saying that it was a 2 hour drive from Portugal, that might have been enough for some to assume that it was a good idea, then they found the cheapest flights. 2+2 = madeira 😁

They've probably just looked at a map and thought **** it Portugal isn't that big we can drive it from wherever.

Obviously the majority of folk wouldn't do that, but people shouldn't doubt the sheer stupidity of some folk.
