Torfason Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 5 hours ago, tree house tam said: It's really easy to get ahead of yourselves lads, talk of any other opponents apart from Valur is folly. I bet the Albanians thought they were in the driving seat after their first leg..... You boys are like that before a balls kicked. The joys of supporting a club like ours is if you don't have dreams, you have f**k all because they generally find a way of snatching defeat. I can't imagine Robbo will be distracted or allow the team to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nothing about this team though I expect they have big physical players well ahead of us in game time. The only thing that worries me is a sell out crowd at our stadium. No idea why but large home gates are usually followed with a poor result. That's just my nerves kicking in. PS getting a beer in for the game ? Nearly every so called foreign beer is brewed in the UK. Lidl in stock just now has Staropramen brewed in in the Chech Republic what a difference compared to the UK brewed version. 5ltr Budvar barrow for £18 again brewed in the Chech unlike supermarket Budvar bottles brewed in the UK. The difference is night and day. Small can of Heineken are the only ones we can buy in UK that come from Amsterdam - I agree tho the beers in uk all brewed under licence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kempes Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Great to see the photos on b & w army (X) of the Saints fans heading to Iceland. Can sense their excitement and it’s beginning to feel real. Safe travels to all and here’s hoping for a decent result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckets Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 St Mirren fans in all 4 stands for i think the first time, so should be the biggest Saints crowd in years. Will be a tough tie, probably very close but hopefully St Mirren can get through 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I spoke to a contact in Iceland that has been giving me loads of great info about the city etc... He tells me that although the tickets for the home end appeared to be on general sale they weren't really, there were plenty held back to allow home supporters to take up their seats. Once they had their window to buy then what was left went on general sale. That is why it looked like the whole stadium was sold out last Saturday then suddenly a rake of seats appeared again on Monday. The whole stadium is now sold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stunned, I say stunned that there won't be hundreds of angry/ disappointed Valur fans gathering outside the stadium unable to get to see the game..... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moretti on tap here is like drinking piss water compared to drinking it in Italy. Also, one of the last foreign brewed strongholds, Estrella Damm, has only started to be brewed from scratch in the UK this year. I think the bottled version is still brewed in Catalonia. Bedford becomes home to first Estrella Damm brewery outside of Spain - Bedford Independent Victoria Malaga is still brewed in Spain. Although, if its popularity grows I'm sure it will be brewed here eventually. Fortunately, Peroni red, the drinkable version of Peroni, which is one of the biggest selling beers in Italy, isn't brewed in the UK. Hard to find, but well worth it if you can get it. The worst of all is Madri. Marketed as Spanish, but is a completely made up brand with no Spanish brewing provenance at all. There's also an Italian beer Via Roma. Both brewed by Inbev in the UK. The Germans have got it spot on with beer. (Becks doesn't count as it's vile) They largely keep it to themselves, although you do see quite a lot in Northern Italy for the German tourists that nip over the border for a holiday. I told my nephew that he would experience "real beer" when he went to Germany for the Euros, as he regularly drinks "American piss water" (Budweiser). He's been converted. Anyway, apologies for the beer related interlude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In towns like Bolzano the architecture is very German and half the town speak German as their first language. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
