QUOTE="Khalekan, post: 3401998, member: 7226"]I recall we had an away European game in Ireland circa 1978.
Against a team called Finn Harps from County Donegal.
A busload of us went over to Belfast on the ferry and proceeded to make our way north.
In those days the Irish Troubles were in full swing and the coach was stopped at an army roadblock and these Jock soldiers came on.
There was a bit of bantz when they let it be known they were Rangers fans......until someone started singing "to hell with Liverpool and.....etc..." and everyone joined in.
Then the chant "Celtic, Celtic, Celtic" went up and it all kicked off.
There was murder on the bus and it spilled out on to the road.......all these Jock soldiers and Evertonians.
The locals at the roadblock were looking on in amazement.
I wouldn't mind but the soldiers all had rifles and were waving them around yelling "yiz feckin' English Fenian c**ts yiz"
lol
Looking back now, nearly forty years on, it was a hilarious scene but for a few moments on that road in Northern Ireland I thought we were all going to be shot.
The officers came on the scene and got their men under control and we went on our way
But the point I an making is that you need to just be careful when going into war zones or politically volatile situations.
Any little incident can lead to a much greater confrontation.[/QUOTE]
