    Not a destination as such, but I find German public transport to be massively overrated.

    The trains are frequently late, or they just stop for no apparent reason. They are often filthy and covered in graffiti. The ticket machines don't always work. The stations are magnets for junkies and all kinds of assorted weirdos.

    I've had problems getting around in both Dusseldorf and Berlin. I'm not sure where their reputation for efficiency comes from. My own experience is very different.

     

     

     

     

    I think in-city transport is really good in Germany. Your trams, U-bahns and S-bahns are great for the most part.

    Deutsche Bahn IC is so much worse than it used to be though. As you say, constant delays at Düsseldorf. I got stuck in Cologne for a night last year because of it. They did put me up for the night to be fair, but the hotel was a shithole.

  2. Should rename this ‘The Armchair Refereeing Thread’. It’s a non-stop whinge about how the refs are against us every week of the tournament.

    Ireland too clinical and we’ve made too many mistakes, which you simply can’t make against a team of this class. We’ve made progress, undoubtedly, but there’s still a big gap.

  3. Underrated  -

    Salta. Nobody outside of Argentina seems to have heard of it, but I had a great time up there. People were great and the scenery is unique.

    Osaka. Not got the sights that Tokyo has and missing the traditional elements you get in Kyoto, but the people are great and a lot more outgoing that the rest of Japan in my experience.

     

    Overrated -

    Bali. Maybe it’s where I was staying (Nusa Dua) and I missed out on things I’d have seen staying elsewhere but I just thought it was overdeveloped, clogged up with traffic and mobbed with Australian and Russian tourists. Had a good time nonetheless, but don’t think I’d rush back.

    I also think San Francisco has gone downhill in recent years. I used to love it but it just felt dodgy last time I was there. Massive homeless problem, people breaking into cars in broad daylight, and dirty.

    Disappointed in you, you should know better than to believe the media when it involves one of the cheeks.

    You’re better than this.

    Again, if Celtic fans criticise the media it’s paranoia or hysteria (I think it often is fwiw), but you lot do it’s suddenly acceptable.

    Laughably hypocritical, but I guess it’s easier to circle jerk and dole out a few minuses than actually make a half decent point.

    Not that I want to be defending any decisions in Celtic's favour, but if its given as a handball red is correct going by the rules isn't it?

    Red card if a handball prevents an obvious goal scoring chance. Blocking it on the line is about as clear as it gets. 

    In our game against Hibs at Tynecastle this season when Bushiri handled it and got a yellow Stuart Dougal said it was only not a red as they couldn't be certain it was going in.

    For me the player behind him was enough to merit it being just a yellow.

    Plus he clearly wasn’t deliberately trying to make a save or anything. Was harsh.

    We were discussing the red card. Not the penalty. Eejit.

    Yes, an example of a ridiculous refereeing decision. Which you claimed never go against Celtic. Just pointing out that we’re not immune to the farce that is VAR or Scottish officiating.

    Fortune favours the bigot brothers. 

    Decisions in Scottish football will always be in favour of those two clubs. 

    Could you imagine the same decision being made against those two clubs?

    We’ve already had a few penalty decisions against us for hand ball this season that really shouldn’t have been. O’Riley’s being particularly ridiculous.

    But alas, here we go with the lazy ‘old firm’ schtick again.
