Slovenia and Ireland away game blogs finally finished!

[Mr Blobby]

I have finally got round to doing my blog for the recent trips to Dublin which can be found here

http://englandbrighton.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/ireland-v-england.html

and also the fantastic trip to Ljubljana (Slovenia) via Belgrade (Serbia)

http://englandbrighton.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/slovenia-v-england.html

I have to say this trip is in my all time top 10. I liked Belgrade but Ljubljana was one of the best places I have been to.

I know I say this every time but the Slovenia blog was immense and also very interesting so many thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for that, a great read, as usual.

Ljubljana is somewhere I'd really like to visit.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Ditto. Interesting to read about Chapman and his 100. What will his 100th country be? We need to know.

 

[Jack Straw]

Just read every word of them both. Two marvellous accounts. Thoroughly enjoyable blog. Thanks Mark.

And I thought my train journey from Munich was long! Ironically the train journey out on Saturday was a proper party train, loads of England drinking the train dry. More like a morgue on the Monday morning return, a few having stayed out drinking next to the river far too late on the Sunday, this observer included!

Interesting blogs pal, good read. What a city Ljubljana is, desperate to get them again when the World Cup draw takes place in July. Been on many away days but this was right up there with the best locations and trips in general I've been on. Your Mrs wasn't wearing a Brighton apron/pinney on match day was she? Saw a couple walking up by the river and the woman was wearing one! Woulda introduced myself but was tucking into one of them family pizzas, less than €15 for that size, I barely managed half!

As for the guy who climbed the netting, he was in my hotel - got a €52 fine, which included a free lift back to the hotel to get his passport details!

Excellent read amply supported by millions of pics...many thanks Mark.

Agreed Slovenia was a great trip. We went via Trieste which was quite nice sea side town. Perfect city for a June game. Compact, friendly, clean.

Great beer, great food and just good fun! Enjoyed the game a lot too...

I saw that woman in a brighton apron too and must admit copped a bit of stick

Ermm no, luckily nobody I know goes dressed up like a clown! I believe said couple are from Ashford, we bumped into them in one bar pre-game.

He said he is doing a trip from North to South America at some point and will take in 5 more countries. They drove in to Croatia via Bosnia so got one more country in! Our train was pretty close to the boarder but no opportunity to get out and run across and stand in the country to meet Mr Chapmans 10 second rule!

Great read, thanks for that. I went to Slovenia in 2009 and still rank it up there as one of my favourite countries to visit, both the capital and lake Bled were fantastic.

What a life he leads. I'd struggle to name a hundred countries let's alone visit them.

It was a flag she was wearing wasn't it? I thought she had it wrapped round her - either way, looked bloody odd and she rightly copped some flak as she walked past. She must have been one of the only women not to be clapped through that afternoon!

On the Saturday we were down the far end of the river by the Asian themed bar, out of the way a bit and she copped some stick. I had my head in hands

There seemed to be loads of Palace on this trip an all, so no wonder she copped some. Although you didn't have to support Palace to give her plenty, strolling along attired like that on a baking hot summers day... just looked weird.
