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 Was talking to ya the night of the game bogball about the state of Tryone football  no didn't pay any city tax at all payed on arrival few of the other boys got caught with it alright....ya didn't miss much the breakfast was shocking...all in all a good trip bar the odd hospital trip here and there

Ah good man bannerboy I mind that rightly we had a good wee yarn or two!! Less said about the hospital trips the better I'd say
Good enough wee spot the Tash was, if I got that every away trip I'd be happy

Only took one taxi while we were there back to the airport  as got a lift on the way in , anyway in the end now our hotel said the fare would be close to 2000 so kind of shocked when it was only 1300 , but was asked for 5000 on the way home after the match with Hickster and NR , poor NR nearly fainted

It was called the Belfry.

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.

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!
