  1. Spoke to the Legia fan at my work and he thinks the flags will now be burned, but he knows many of these groups and its going to ask, explained about the charity donations etc too. Doesnt look good but he will try

  2. First time ever in Poland and I will definitely be rushing back if we ever draw Poland in a future campaign. Warsaw is a fantastic city, great beer, our hotel on the Castle Square was bang on and the two Ted Christopher gigs were absolutely rocking.

    And the stadium is simply the best I have ever been in. Utterly breathtaking. Don't think I have experienced a cauldron such as that one and both sets of fans were in fantastic voice. The 'Can you hear the Poland sing' chant from our boys that bounced around the stadium when we went 2-1 up was just awesome. That will live long in the memory

    But special mention simply goes to the Poles. Terrific people who were so welcoming and their fans inside and outside the ground were a joy. Lost count of the number of Poles coming up to shake your hand after the game and wanting to pose for photos.

    Top top trip.

    A lot of folk question why I live here and now glad a lot of you see it's a good city, I actually prefer Kraków!

  3. Fantastic trip all round! just gutted we only stayed for 2 days!

    The polish fans were brilliant on the way to the game, getting photos and wishing us luck.

    I was stood at the concrete right at the very back of the stadium and the view was superb! great noise from both sets of fans!

    :ok::ok:

    Stood there too for the poland Germany game brilliant view and good for the atmosphere!

  4. Been talking to the ultras via Facebook messaging for most of the evening....the mod made a page showing my appeal for the return of the flags but some of it is lost in translation but the comments were 80-20 in favour of returning flags....moderator has private messaged me now as a friend saying he had to remove comments due to pressure from hard liners in the groups.....on the Facebook edition of the link there are over 300 likes from Poles......in the main they are still undecided what will happen to all the flags but we may see some as a gesture as he said they were mistakenly taken and should have been guarded better....they have a different mentality over flags and battle over ownership of them to gain the kudos over rival groups....If any flags are returned they wish it to be done discreetly in order to protect the name of the group returning them, I know this may infuriate some people but at times you have to oblige to achieve...I have played heavily on the good spirit of the TA, the donation made by TASA and the fact that we respect each other's national flag....this is not a club issue......I was grilled about my Celtic connection due to my name similarity and they checked out my FB profile to see my St.Mirren pics and posts......I also have asked them to look on a map at the locations on the flags that have them and they will see they are all non-Glasgow.....if the is to be any movement then I will know soon, the flags have been taken from the groups who "captured them" until a decision is made......keep the faith and I will keep trying

    To keep it discreet they can return them to a lovation and I'll collect them, my wife is also Polish if your struggling with the communication..also pretty sure a guy at my work is a legia ultra he could maybe be a go between?

  5. Nothing funny about a wee scrote nicking your £200 flag...believe me...I have talked to them on their Facebook page and they said it was nothing personal.....oh well that's okay then eh...

    Now they have their trophy picture and you can get them to return the flag I live in Warsaw and could collect it

  6. Probably too late but the undercover police spoke to me at tortilla and need a statement from a guy that was wearing a red tshirt and had flag taken but was also slashed with a knife, as they used a knife they are treating pretty serious

  7. Warsaw looking pretty quiet! Would have expected a bit more activity the night before the Germany game! They must all be getting the train up tomorrow!

    Certainly warm enough though!

    There was a about 40-50 polish hoolies gathered on my street, they soon had a few police vans to escort them away

  10. Anyone else suffer from these? Any tip on how to stop them occurring or calming them down when they do happen?

    Mine are awful, they finish me off for the day. Been to the doctor numerous times and any drugs they give me don't seem to make much difference.

    Thought I'd try here as it has the answers for everything else.

    I had them since i was a kid, medicine didn’t work, make sure you get your eyes tested, my prescription being off just a bit made them a lot worse, but im now on insulin every day for type 2 diabetes and now rarely get one, worth getting a blood sugar check too, makes me wonder if i had diabetes when i was younger and that was the root of the headaches
