It did, but had 2 good days of weather before that  . Match day was miserable. Pickpockets surprisingly thin on the ground, and of course, everyone who wore colours around the city got killed. Again. |

Why has anybody any interest in posing for local media. Fair enough if asked but there are lads who go out of their way. |

Decent trip for a few reasons
Meeting new shams An Irish bar that doesn't fleece us The toro steakhouse near the 3 carrots as recommended by Maria Not hearing the Gary Breen song over 4 days Negatives Team performance but still happy with a point Let's lose Shane longs on fire Roll on Moldova |

Yeah I must say that wearing the colours around was almost beneficial. At least 10 people acknowledged it positively on match day and the day before it.
At least 10 Serbians, that is. |

Enjoyable trip now. Didn't get to do as many museums as I've had liked due to most of them being closed on the Monday though. Nice town, and nice people, has to be said.
As for the match, disgraceful behaviour from the FAI again, though nothing surprises me with regards to the contempt they have for their own fans. For what it's worth, I was very lightly padded down going in, and they didn't even look at my ticket.

Great trip. Embarrassed to say i dont remember the game due to a very large volume of white russians drank. But dancing with Minty at 7am to Sultans of Ping on the balcony of my apartment was one of the highlights. Edited by Stretchryan - 08 Sep 2016 at 8:43pm |

Ended up at a rave on a boat with a load of random Serbians till 10am. The tech house tunes were top notch.
Vaguely remember telling them at one stage about how great the hurling final will be the next day and they should watch it. But didn't go to bed till 2pm and slept through the bleedin match myself after all that talk  Edited by Trapped - 08 Sep 2016 at 11:42pm |

Good trip, place was dirt cheap, couldn't spend money. Serbs were sound if a wee bit mad (in a good way). Wasn't searched going into the ground by the FAI, but was visited at my apartment in Republic Square on THREE separate occasions by the cops checking on my safety/security (according to them). Met up with sound Mayo and Donegal men and had good craic. Nice touch was the 20-30 Serb kids who stayed behind to applaud the Irish fans after they were finally let out of the stadium hour after the game...few of the lads gave the youngsters their scarves, was nice moment. As for game. Why do we go into our shell every time we score? Glad of the draw and all that, but could have been more...and could have been less, way we played!! Right, roll on Chisinau!

Belgrade was great spot. Hotel Tash was good enough spot-didnt manage to make it up for breakfast any mornings though and didn't manage to make use of their pool. Did anyone else in Hotel Tash get a City Tax bill when checking out? Three Carrots craic was 90 some great characters. Only got ripped off the once when we got a taxi from Three Carrots to ground when they asked for 6 grand-and this was possibly the only time during the trip when my girlfriends Belgrade mate wasn't with us
 .Long old trip from Belgrade to Budapest morning after the game and I was sick as a dog-top 3 all time hangs with numerous toilet trips on the plane! All in all a great trip and I would definitely go back |

Everywhere charges the city tax, they have to.
There were definitely quite a few dodgy taxi drivers about. Didn't get shafted but there were plenty of tales of lads who did. It was only 2 grand to the airport so 6 grand in the city centre is scandalous. They clearly charged about 10 times the proper fee. |

The cops were trying to move us on after the game but stopped when I told them how much the taxis had asked for. I forgot about the powered off lift and bats flying around the stairwell of my apartment when I got home each night. Really added to the ambience...

"Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur". Paranoia was rampant throughout."
