Peppino Impastato

Who gives a toss. Save it for the irrelevant politics in a foreign country thread.

Did the mestalla tour, pretty good.

Two or three of the Barca player's got hit by objects from the ultras celebrating the penalty too the hatred was incredible they must get that everywhere in Spain.

Was 30 degrees in vila-real on Sunday too, not been below about 23 anywhere since we got here. That's not a touristy place btw, perfectly safe and easy to find stadium etc, definitely go to a game there if you get the chance, to watch Barcelona or real Madrid there would be brilliant cause you are so close to the pit h, but it's not a place you would visit apart from to to the game and they are not hugely keen on tourists. An absolute world away from Valencia very very different. Walking round before the game was bizarre too an absolute ghost town right in the centre and right next to the stadium nobody around at all it was eerie. Even less than two hours to kick off completely dead. It was hot and during siesta but it was still incredibly strange. Vila-real is not what you expect biggest surprise of the trip by far. We thought because of the name it would be wealthyand exclusive it's the complete opposite, saw five of the oldest working cars I've seen in twenty five years driving about there. Kitten abandoned on the street, not a nice place but very very old Spanish so interesting to see.

Was at the Barca and Villarreal games, incredible. Absolutely wonderful experience, we even stumbled across the Barca team bus about to leave the hotel around the corner from the mestella saw messi walk right past me ten yards away they all did. Went round to stadium to see the bus arrive it was incredible, the whole place absolutely erupted with hatred and anger, there was a crowd and lots of police at the hotel but when they got to the stadium only five hundred yards away it was absolute bedlam, incredible to watch. The game had a real edge right from the start, never realised the depth of hatred for Barca all politics they were waving Spanish flags at them singing viva Espana really nasty poisonous atmosphere but magnificent experience to see. Suarez has big balls when he scored he deliberately ran right in front of the Valencia ultras behind the goal. The whole thing was mental, absolutely fantastic experience. Villarreal as a town is an utter shithole, well not that bad but not very nice. The stadium is great to watch games, you are very close to the pitch. We had great seats on the halfway line for only 25euros. Barca tickets were 95 quid also great seats the mestella is quite a place but you are much further away so high up. On halfway line there too, messi scored basically right in front us. Such a hostile atmosphere, Barca didn't actually play very well, Suarez was poor, sergi Roberto is out of his depth there, messi was okay not great, that midfielder they got from was it benfica or Porto or Valencia can't remember his name was very poor. Neymar was excellent and nani surprisingly good. Staying 300 yards from the new mestella, maybe going to do the current mestella tour today but got the mother of all hangovers was asleep with my face in a pile of my own sick on a wall outside the apartment at 6 this morning. Typical Scottish tourist. Played Sergio Garcia's home course yesterday too, also saw Valencia's training ground it's very close. Valencia is a great city really like it, and the games were a fantastic experience would recommend to anybody. Valencia surprisingly cheap too, much cheaper for food and drink than back home. Also, the la liga awards were last night in a hotel three doors away 100 yards from here so they were all there but it was surrounded by police you couldn't get close. Believe it or not we almost booked to stay in that hotel too, that would have been amazing. Think we saw Ronaldo come in by helicopter yesterday from our balcony flew right over our heads. If you ever do go to Valencia you could do so much worse than stay here it's called avenida de las Cortes like the west end of Glasgow. Speaking to a guy who owns a bar there are a couple of buildings on this street very expensive about ten Valencia and levante players live there including dani parejo. Loads of great pubs, cafes, restaurants bistro type bars ice cream places supermarket health food takeaway places pizza everything you could want all high quality and cheap. You can get authentic tapas etc or burger king whatever you want. Fantastic place and brilliant holiday, you should definitely go it's amazing.

What are you on about do you even watch it. The BBC said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

I may have been wrong about that, though it is an economic opportunity post independence.

That's a little different to water, why you would think I'd have a problem with that i have no idea

Is this how bigots Joke? Them marches must be a scream

I'm not arrogant i just know better about what's being discussed on here than most people on here. What i said is correct, keep an eye on it you'll see i was right, it's not hard to predict two of our three best prospects at cb will play quite a few games for us at cb. If you know what you're looking at its also quite easy to predict he level of club football a player will get to, I'm right on both counts with that. Harry may take 3 years instead of 2 is the only bit I'd consider revising.

Your mum's an imbecile

Yeah on fifa. I'm hardly gonna tell you my name.

Played in any Scottish cup finals? I have. Though that's quite funny tbf.

Sorry didn't realise you were 11. I'll leave you to it, you probably should be paying more attention in class anyway.

Utterly craven.

I'm bang on. Unlike most on here i actually know something about football.

They will make an excellent pair too, compliment each other very well one dominant in the air the other good on the deck and quicker. They'll play lots of games next to each other for Scotland.

Well actually his brother is regarded as the better prospect of the two, always has been. Perhaps because of his size but so what, mocking that would be like saying Usain bolt is only a good runner cause he's fast. John will end up first choice at cultic and get 40-60 caps, Harry will be first choiceIin the premiership and get slightly more or about the same as his size will mean he finishes earlier.

Say people who dondon't watch rt. It's been winning awards all over the place for years, you people are so immersed I UK propaganda you can't see the wood for the trees. They literally are identical except the quality of programming on rt is better.

Mundell can't influence brexit as he has been excluded from the brexit cabinet. Think about that, scotlands only representative in the UK government and he isn't even part of the brexit team. Same guy was on Daily politics the other day saying the government will get the best deal for Scotland re brexit. How the f**k are they gonna do that? There's nobody there to even speak for Scotland, what he means is London will decide what's best for Scotland and we can just suck it up. Craven doesn't come close. At the same time labour has an mp not even from a Scottish constituency as shadow Scottish secretary. Holy f**k, anybody who doesn't want out of this disgusting union by now is in a place way beyond my comprehension, this is mental.

The dee man showing breathtaking levels of ignorance. The BBC is literally identical to rt in every single way. If anyone thinks the BBC will ever report the actions of the British government in for example Syria with balance, impartiality, integrity and professionalism you would have to be the stupidest person ever. That's not even is job read their fuckin charter it's not a news corporation it's the propaganda arm of the UK government, alway has been look at its role throughout history. Incredible anyone could be that stupid. If you have a brain you watch both and draw your own conclusions, not dismiss rt as pure propaganda and deny the BBC is the exact same. Staggering.

But he isn't is he, moved on, worked hard, improved his defending a lot and keeping the hearts captain out of the team while still a teenager. That's a terrific prospect progressing very well, he only turned 20 3 weeks ago in a year or two he'll be in the senior squad. Think he'll end up at cultic personally.

Nobody said the tories the BBC is owned by the UK government funded by the taxpayer and only able to operate at all as long as Iit abides by a charter drawn up by the Britishggovernment dictating it'sconduct. Nonemof tthis applies, to channel 4. It is 100% a state broadcaster. Do you hold the BBC similar contempt that you expressed for rt calling calling it putin today? Some how I doubt it.

Water is trucked south all the time, the Scottish government expressed support for selling it I read that article at the time, export does not mean give away. Which doesn't take away from the fact if independent could make lot for money selling water to England given we have a surplus and they don't have enough.

UK government currently seeking a separate eu deal for London while denying one to Scotland. Better together.
