ElBufalo20 8,151 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Decent draw but got a bit of a Slavia Prague feel to it. Hopefully get a good first leg result. dougie76 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThenNowForever 232 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Massive game for the coefficient points as well given how Serbia are doing. Really is a win win if we put them out trueblue 64 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it didn't kick off, thankfully, considering someone had been stabbed at the previous derby, but the atmosphere was extremely tense. The Red Star ultras near me kept chucking flares at the riot police, and I spent most of the match thinking the police were going to rush in and batter us all. They were very good at keeping a lid on things, possibly because they were all fucking massive and scary. Also, Partizan were robbed by a series of dodgy ref decisions, which made my decision to sit with the away fans seem all the more stupid Cracking experience overall though.

shotstopper 785 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Are we sure, as fans, we will be allowed to travel, as Serbia borders Ukraine which we all know is at war with Russia. Flights may well be banned from flying to and from that region. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I thought you meant the game didn’t actually get to kick-off due to crowd trouble then realised you meant fans kicking off, but aye that’s some derby to tick off the list for sure. Do you plan on seeing any other big European derbies or was this added into a trip or holiday you had? Willis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCO website (from December) says: "Indoor and outdoor gatherings are limited to 500 people, with the exception of certain events approved by the Government’s Crisis Response Team." I don't know whether that includes football or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to go to some others. It's a shame that football has been on the wane in Eastern Europe since the fall of communism, because I would have loved to see the likes of Dynamo Kiev or Dinamo Tbilisi in their pomp. The good thing about the Belgrade derby is that, along with European games, the fans actually turn up. Otherwise they prefer basketball nowadays.

TartanTeddy 771 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Chatting to a mate in Belgrade who is part of one of their fan groups Reckons the chat is they are happy enough with the draw, but wary after the Dortmund result, said they were mostly all hoping for Braga. Reckons they are playing poorly in their domestic league, but raise their game for Europe. The team is still settling with a few new players arriving in the winter, said names to watch Katai, Stolica, Ben and Pavkov - Stolica was a recent signing from Bayern. Playmaker is Mirko Ivanić. Said he thought they were a weaker team than last season. Hadron Collider and GlasgowRangers1983 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackAlex93 12,470 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Favourable draw but they will still bit a tough test. Let's just go for it and see what happens.

hawkfalcons 2,367 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Tough game but winable, the strange thing is there stadium holds 53,000 but there average attendance is half that.

teddybear1975 2,269 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Has a similar feel to the Slavia Prague games where we are probably slight favourites to go through. They did a number on us with their spoiling and dark arts. Hope the team have learnt from that. BlueAvenger, Bears r us and graeme_4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
