And so to the final Road Trip report! A tour of Celtic Park and also a trip to Edinburgh, the Capital of Scotland, to see the castle and drink some more beer!The trip to Edinburgh was fun as we went into even more depth analyzing Scottish beers, food and culture,.... and yes, there is culture in Scotland! Jodingo!! started acting like an American tourist as he nearly caused a fight in one bar by asking where Caledonia was and suggesting that it was near Bulgaria! He then nearly got run down by a bus as he stepped into the middle of the road to take a photograph. But apart from that, and another run in with the police, the trip was a nice day out! The trip to Celtic Park was also great fun as we first tried to buy up the Celtic store ( El Gato woud have loved it! ) and then went on a fairly full access tour of the stadium. Unfortunately, no one signed us up so we are all still available to play for Madison.
All in all, it was a great road trip and a huge amount of fun! I would encourage any of you who are thinking of going next year to start saving!
End of September 2011 for the next Atlantic Rovers tour!!
Shame on all of you Guys:
ReplyDeleteI can;t believe no une have a picture of get on your knees and kissing the grass.
Also if I have the chance to be inside the stadium I will put all my uniform(Celtic) to make Photoshop tricks with others professional [;ayers.
But at least you can say that you were a FIFA referees and went down to inspect the field before the game.
Last pic. make me laugh so bad, because the name of the bar make me ask this: Are you Jody the result of the last drop? lol.(sorry I still drunk after we beat Brasil Yesterday.
Seriously, nice beautiful pictures, and thanks John for share with us.
Missing you guys.
BTW:
ReplyDeleteGame is on for Friday night practice.
Tano, Nice game by Messi yesterday! Re. the last pic: The Last Drop refers to the last public hanging...which happened just a few steps away from this pub. I think some of the locals might have wanted to hang me after my Caledonia remarks!
ReplyDeleteTano where and when is the practice stuff on Sunday?
ReplyDeleteWe would have loved to have grabbed a ball and played a mock 2 v 2 match on the lovely pitch at Parkhead, but as John said, it was a "fairly full access" tour... key word being "fairly". Alas, we were not permitted to set foot onto the grass as that privilege is reserved for bonafide players. We attempted to get John and Ronnie signed up while in the interview room, but Neil Lennon was not present to countersign the contracts. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBOR...It's their loss! Roniildo and I would have done a great job for them!
ReplyDeletePractice of Sunday morning:
ReplyDeletewe do at Jared Eliot Middle School

You have to get off at exit 63 of Fwy. 95
pass over the fwy and turn right at the first traffic light, that is Glenwood rd., go about 1/4 mile and turn right on ninety rd. and the entrance of the field is at half of block away on your right shoulder.
