Red Star Belgrade away.

I know you're a Blue @MCFC Wirral but the undercurrent in your post seems to suggest we somehow brought it on ourselves? I really hope you didn't mean it to come across that way.

You mention "noisy lads". This was the quietest, most restrained City Euro trip I've been on. There was no mass gathering of Blues, no flags, no colours, no singing, no-one taking the piss. Just small groups, heads down, having a few scoops with mates.

Then the lunatics took over the asylum.

Well just got back from Belgrade .
Wasn’t there on Tuesday night so can’t comment on what went on .
I’d say yesterday was a bit like being very wary of what could happen around Belgrade . Got to agree with @Dodge as there was no large gatherings of blues around Belgrade in pubs etc .
Thought police were ok and only doing there job and keeping us safe on the day .
The lock in at end of game was expected .
Only scary part was taxi drivers , fuck me there mad and have no idea of road safety .

Of course I didn’t. I was comparing Wales fans to City fans in terms of personality and noise.

I did one away with City and that was Sevilla. I was in the bar that got attacked and it ruined my trip. I felt unsafe and was watching my back throughout. The win was nice but I think it stopped me booking again.

We had over 30 arrested in Armenia, were ripped off everywhere in Albania, found Baku unprepared for us, taxi scams in Georgia… Serbia was great throughout and I’m both astonished and saddened that this happened.

100% blame Red Star fans. Research told me to buy a Partizan shirt I still own.
 
This was in the street at Skadarlija when I went looking for beer on the first night. The girl in my hotel directed me there and I went out thinking how very friendly and helpful she was.

Yes they are, nowadays it's mainly bucket hat wankers (kids on a piss up) & organised trips (post 2016 euro's, ex rugby fans)

Enjoyed the bus convoy to the ground; police escort with Blues and Twos, stopped all the traffic at all junctions, cops blocked off all side roads and held back all the pedestrians at every crossing. Felt like royalty or summat, with all the locals staring at bus loads of wrinkly old Mancs!
 
Rightly or wrongly, the best way to enjoy these trips is to do your own thing and stay away from the City flags and the Irish bars.

This time I was talked into going to the Queens Pub,.and sure as night follows day, it turned ugly.
Not necessarily our fault,.but locals take offence at what we consider to be normal behaviour

Most of these football hooligans are not fans at all. Most of them are criminals, drug dealers. About this so called rivalry between Red Star and Partizan, ffs, one of the Red Star fans leaders switched his alegiance to Partizan and became one of Partizan fans leaders, like he fucking transferred from one rival to another.
Basically, so called fans are just criminal thugs who work for the fucking secret police and are doing what they are told.
So, there is no real distinction between RS and Partizan "fans".
Last year, an organized crime group was arrested, and they were Partizan fans, they had offices inside Partizan stadium where they hid drugs and arms.
They were so brutal, like mexican gangs style, killing, torturing and raping people with baseball bats or something, before grinding their dead bodies in a fucking meat grinder and throwing them in the river.

Cheers, interesting read that.
 
The European hooligan 'thing' is to steal flags and hang them upside down. These flags have only been obtained by violence so why do the clubs allow it ?
The useless uefa fine clubs for being a minute late onto the pitch, throwing rolled up paper etc etc but say nothing about organised violence, that sums up the useless wankers.

Yes, a really interesting article, thanks.
Fancy a trip to Belgrade as going to Budapest next August and thinking about visiting a couple of other cities.
Hopefully, the football hooligan season will not have started then...

Profound.

They’ve worked very hard to eliminate club rivalry. Huge numbers come from North Wales who aren’t Cardiff / Swansea and don’t like rugby. I can’t stand egg chasing.

City also do official and unofficial travel packages. I book myself.
