Thoroughly unpleasant trip. I thought the locals were a miserable bunch, who only cracked a smile when they were taking your hard-earned off you. Having been to Kharkiv twice following City, a population who have it far harder than this lot but were warm and welcoming, the Serbs were the exact opposite. Someone explained to me that they hold our country responsible for the NATO bombing of Belgrade in the 90's, simply because the US planes left from UK bases. That might explain the attitude, but it doesn't explain the targeting of UK citizens 30-odd years later, who weren't flying the fucking planes or loading the bombs you fucking bellends.
The absolute cunts who attacked Blues are just indiscriminate trophy hunters, who would run a country mile if numbers were equal and they weren't tooled up. That was proved at Queens pub, when they were initially repelled by a few of our old faces.
Met up with Ethan before the game last night, who was typically City, on the beers and having a laugh, despite getting a fearful kicking from the shithouses outside. Wrong place, wrong time, put in hospital, just making a fucking phone call.
Cunts.
Thanks Belgrade...and fuck off.
