Another one: under 21 match in Croatia. Got the train up from Zagreb along with 100 or so other footsoldiers. Arrived in the town where the game was (sorry, can't remember it's name) to be met by the local constabulary who stopped us just outside the station. Their spokesperson (female) came forward and asked us how many of us there were - to which someone replied "About 100". She looked horrified and said "no, there can't be 100 of you"...turns out there were already another 300 or so TA in town and they had only expected around 100 in total to go to the under 21s!
Anyway, they gave us a police escort up through the town, with us expecting to be taken straight to the ground. Not at all - they marched us to a pub where the rest of the TA were and stopped and told us that we could have a few drinks there  About an hour later, they said that we had to leave now - and marched us on to the ground before wishing us luck for the game!
Absolute quality - I can just see Strathclyde Polis creating the same impression with away fans...NOT!
BTW - TAC, that's probably the most disgusting story I've seen on here!!

Bzzzz - same thing in Brussels on the old Metro the locals were bricking it with the old bouncey bouncey, thought the thing was going to collapse....
Next thing we stop at a station and 4 lassies about 20 year old or so on the platform..... Hey baby.... I want to know..... the whole carrige giving some to them, locals wetting themselves. They didnae know where to look. Worst bit was I turned round to see who was screaming down my ear and it was ma Dad......
Also the tube on the way to Wembley '99.... all these suits were on it wanting to get off between Green Park and Wembley, it was too packed so the poor sods had to go all the way to Wembley and change to back down home.... Remember one copper saying to some poor old soul, you'll not get in the ground with that brief case.
Poor guy had had enough and went mad at the copper about all these rowdy Scots..!!!...
What us??????

Tartan Sheep,the under 21 game was in Koprivinica. iremeber the bird at the station as well. I think we were in the first group. Do you remember the huge guy,Jim from Liverpool i think when the policewoman said we were walking and he goes "bugger that" and climbs into the back of the police car. Same guy is walking back from the bog at the game and someone starts singing "who ate all the pies" The guy turns round and shouts "i have one every time i shag your wife",classic reply.

Aye, David, I remember him. He got a huge cheer for his response to the "who ate all the pies" thing
I have another memory from that game, actually. Behind the goal to our right there was no stand or terracing - and just a wire fence between the ground and folks houses. At the end of one of the gardens, there was a shed converted into a small stand-like structure - and there were about 10 Croats sitting in it watching the game They obviously decided there was no way they were going to pay to get into football matches, so they built seating in their own garden!!!

Yeah,i remember that stand,i think ive got some pictures of it somewhere that i must upload one of these days. Also remember standing with the big guy and Reeky Sporran outside the pizza place when Croatian telly came to interview the bug guy. Asked about the food he replied "just get a coo,rip the horns off and wipe its arse and ill eat it" It was funny trying to explain in broken english what hed said.
p.s. remember the cheerleaders at that game???

During the Ireland trip a couple of years ago we were in one of the bars that was jam packed of singing, drunken TA, so much so that it was shoulder to shoulder. A young American girl took a fancy to me and it was in this pub while holding 2 pints that I got more than I had bargained for. I felt her hand sneak up my kilt and , well need I say more! The funny thing was that it was my mates kilt and to this day he does not know how much the dry cleaning bill was!
It was in the same pub that Murdo Mcleod & Chico made a surprise appearance and much to the delight of the TA joined in with a string of famous TA songs. It was also a scream to see the bouncer( who had given up minding the door) dancing around loving the banter.

There was the guy that got the bus from somewhere to Bratislava instead of Bologna and missed one of the early 90's San Marino games because of it! Good mate of mine too so I shant name him.
There was also a guy who missed the first goal in Latvia (1st time we played there - was it 94 / 95?) as he was in the process of recieving oral satisfaction in the toilets from a young and very pretty rusko / latvian lady called Olga! He was subsequently locked in the toilets for some time as the police locked them as part of a scam they came up with. With all the toilets locked and between 800 and a 1,000 Scots crammed into a few sections on the edge of the pitch, a few lads could cross their legs no longer and nipped out to the trees at the back for a pee. This is illegal in Latvia so the police then made up some jumped up charge (which essentially was $20) for peeing against a tree outside the back of the stadium. If you didnae pay, you were thrown into the back of a police van. On trying to help release one fan who didnae have enough Lats for these Polis loons, the SFA security advisor came very close to being incarcerated by the polis who didnae seem to think that his "official security" badge meant very much. Glad it was all very different second time we played in Latvia.

The funniest one I ever saw was some guys who got there pics developed whilst in Prague.
One of the pics was when they were asked by a couple of Czechs if they wouldn't mind getting their pic taken with them .... when the pics came back lo and behold as the Czechs were posing with our gallant TA footsoldiers one of the cheeky buggers was dipping the sporran of the guy he was crouching next to... Classic

Wisnae funny for me, but my so called pals left me standing for 3 hours in Place Victoire in Bordeux after the Norwegian game. I got speaking to a couple of English guys, wound them up about hooligans etc
A month later I found out they were journos for Total Sport, there was I in my full glory, with the story below, and a caption "Who ate all the Whales"
