broonalegeordie Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 We found the tranny street! Amazing! There were 5 or 6 sheltering from the rain in a bus shelter, so we dived in with them and took the piss for a few minutes. We asked a one with cracking tits where real ladies could be found and it pointed us in the right direction. Helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broonalegeordie Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Also just thought I'd mention we had a brilliant time in Lisbon. Parts of it were shithole-esq, but I guess most places have dodgy parts. The drug dealers were very annoying though, and the police seem to ignore it. For the hour or so before kick off we left the area that the busses dropped us off in search of lager. A local pointed us to a small bar which had windows onto the training pitches. It was busy inside but once we had our pints in hand we started to sing. We were the only Nufc fans in there so it was 5 vs probably 50 or more. Met some good people in there and had a great time, as it got busier out ranks swelled to 7! When we first started to sing we were approached by 2 males, one with a white Lycra type material balaclava on and the other had his scarf covering most his face. Thought we were going to have to scrap at that point, but it was just to take photos! This guy on the video seemed to be quite famous amongst the benfica fans in that bar... he seemed slightly crazy about benfica and is coming to newcastle via faro and leeds http://youtu.be/Lj_1BVPeZo4 So thanks Benfica fans for your hospitality and if any Benfica fans here know the black lad with the white mask on, I want the picture off his iPhone of me and him!

Bruno Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Great to hear broonalegeordie. That guy in the video is quite a character His name is Paulo Parreira. BenficaTV always interviews him before the home games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Apologies to anyone from Lisbon but it's the biggest shithole of all the European trips this season. Edit: Kharkiv was much better. Bollicks It's beautiful, I'm planning to head back for a few days in the summer. edit: Though the drugs bit is true I've never been offered drugs like that apart from at music festivals. Actually showing me the cocaine, and in the main square! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eusebio10 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hi there, Benfica fan here! I've been lurking this thread for a while, and just decided to register now. Also just thought I'd mention we had a brilliant time in Lisbon. Parts of it were shithole-esq, but I guess most places have dodgy parts. The drug dealers were very annoying though, and the police seem to ignore it. I'd been to Porto and thought it was very nice so looked forward to coming here. There was no one offering to sell me drugs on the street every 30 seconds or having to watch my pockets all the time there though. Though the drugs bit is true I've never been offered drugs like that apart from at music festivals. Actually showing me the cocaine, and in the main square! Actually, none of you were offered any drugs, and the reason why those fucking gypsies sell their crap in broad daylight in a main square is because they are simply selling tea (weed), baking soda (cocaine) and bay leaf (hashish). That's why the police can't do anything other than taking them to the police station, and then releasing them...it becomes pointless eventually, and this scam has been going on for many years now. The gypsies only target foreigners, because the locals are not crazy enough to buy "drugs" in such a busy area and in broad daylight Besides, the scam is well known. Regarding shithole-ness, I bet most of you ended up in Bairro Alto, well that particular area is one big and smelly shithole... But for some reason I don't understand, many foreigners always end up there when there are MUCH better alternatives to have a drink or three. Maybe word of mouth, tourist guides or something... haven't been there in years and certainly don't miss it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Sold out! Benfica didn't even take a full allocation, so we had an extra block in Leazes L7 for home fans. That's fucking tremendous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I bet Porto would have sold out their allocation. Rich, what your prediction on away fans? How many seats do we have available? Didn't read anything about that so far here in Portugal. Just curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basel and Fener got knocked out in the playoff round pre-groups of CL and t'other two dropped in from 3rd place group finishes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
