Nice to hear that the Worthing Gooners flag was spotted on its travels again but it nearly came a cropper. Tied it to the fence no dramas then 15 mins later 5 of their boys rushed to that corner grabbing it and trying to drag it into their section ready to set fire to it!! Fortunately there was another Gooner on hand to give me help so thanks to you pal!!
This is a regular occourance here as they burn all their booty in celebration to please the Ultras.
My mate got cleaned up by the local currency arriving on regular intervals from over the fence and had a visit from the medics to check him over.
Still the right result was had.

Was that why the ambulance with the medics kept coming round? Glad to hear he is ok.

Just got back myself, shattered from 2 days on the go. Good little trip though, immense atmosphere although a Red Star fan over there told me it was Liverpoolesque and done for the cameras). Only bad part was trying to find the entrance to our end, didn't realise we had to cut through a park, i circled the ground twice and ended up walking straight into a wave of their ultras heading into the turnstyles down the far end from us, thank god i wasn't in colours.

Did anyone get the bus into town from the airport? Couldn't believe some of the slums in the outskirts, houses made from used matresses and families living in actual tips, it was like something from an African poverty documentary, shocked me. Those blown apart buildings that haven't been touched from a decade ago are chilling as well.

The Ambulance firstly came around because a woman broke her arm, maybe trying to dodge a missle and fell over the plastic seats. Then my pal and a few others needed a bit of help from the medics but broken arm apart nothing too heavy.
Saw some bombed out buildings and it gives you a jolt of reality about our problems. They do hate anyone from a Nato country for getiing involved in a cival war. This lot fight at basketball/tennis games so football with violence to them is pure "Fun".

I got the airport bus too, couldnt believe the state some people had to live in and to see small children foraging through rubbish when they should be out playing, made me realise how good my kids have it, was a real reality check!

Worst poverty I ever saw was in Cairo. The city itself lies encased in a shroud of filthy pollution most of the day. And it stinks really bad. It was a true Megacity with a population of over 16 million when we were there in July 2002. As our tour bus drove through the outskirts we all went silent as we saw first hand the abject poverty that the majority of locals live in. Christ, I really can’t over-emphasise just how bad things were in some of those slum districts. We really have no idea what true poverty is in the West.

It was frightening as we drove through the seriously impoverished district of Imbaba. The filthy streets were surrounded by small lanes and crowded tenements. It soon blurred into a horror-montage of choking pollution, deserted dry plots of land littered with all sorts of trash, open sewers and half built hovels. People lived in cardboard boxes, corrugated iron shacks and mud huts. Little kids played footy barefoot among piles of human waste, hard dirt, open sewers and mountains of garbage.

Our guide told us that after the 1991 Gulf War nearly 4 million Egyptians that had been working in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia went back and settled in Cairo almost overnight! Imbaba’s population density was over 105,000 people per 2 square miles; an average of 3.7 people lived in every single small room!

Maddest thing we saw that day was a local man sitting on a scrawny donkey with a live goat draped over the saddle in front of him. Standing behind him was his wife and two children, aged about five and ten. His wife held a large parasol over the man and goat, sheltering them from the midday sun while she (and their kids) followed on foot, taking the full brunt of the intense heat (50 degrees in the shade). Our tour guide explained that the goat would have been their prized possession.

To say Cairo is a city of extreme contrasts would be the understatement of the fucking century. After driving through miles and miles of these slums we passed through the security “Ring of Steelâ€

One last thing on this match before I forget - what the feck was Denilson doing on Twitter just minutes before the start of a big match? :shock: :shock: :? :banghead: :banghead: Why wasn't his full concentration on the game? :evil: Is it any wonder the crunt struggled to put two passes together and couldn't tell his arse from his elbow when conceding the penalty? :oops: :roll:

The person that invented twitter has a lot to answer for. :banghead: As does Mr Denilson Snr. for not wearing a condom!!! :oops: :lol: :lol: :wink:
