The start of this one shows the head capo leading the singing
from the front before the march starts! Then there is a view
from further back down the line where you can see the ripple
effect on the singing starting at the front & working its way
back.

This was a section of the fan march before the Iceland game at
the Euros. Reported widely in the media as 10's of thousands and
no trouble. The ultras are the guys head to toe in black, faces
normally covered in scarves or wearing balaclavas, the people in
regular clothes & the national colours are the 'normal' fans.
Any attack on the fans by other country ultras, one set of
ultras would deal with them whilst the rest get the regular fans
away from it, any of our fans get a bit lippy to any
bystanders/locals then they get put firmly back in their place
by the ultras, they won't be stupid enough to repeat the
mistake!! The bystander/locals would receive an immediate
apology & reassurance it won't happen again. Happens rarely -
any pre-arrange ultra v ultra shenanigans are well arranged, far
away from the fan march, not that I approve but they keep it
between themselves - no regular fan of either side will ever be
involved, it's a very strict ruling. Any regular fan would
instead be protected, taken immediately to safety & there is
retribution if one were to get hurt.

Our manager wouldn't let me go and join this one! Team coach was
bouncing along with them though! It was great fun!

bmb ---sorry, I have only just seen these today because I have
not had very much computer time recently because of difficulties
trying to sort out my charity cases who are not on the internet
and I am unable to leave telephone messages as well. In
addition, our charity HQ has instructed that, because of my age,
I am not to visit so it is like being in Catch 22 and I have
been trying to resolve their problems from a distance!
Very interesting footage in the three clips and that Cup Final
turned out to be a cracking match from all accounts.
Who knows, once we get over all the current problems, things may
return to 'normal' --whatever that is ---and I get to visit
Hungary and add it to the list of countries where I have either
watched or played. Stay safe!!

The charities are more important!
I stuck it here as I figured the VAR thread was not the right
place for it - should have linked to it in that thread though
maybe.
The cup match was at the end of my 1st season working with
Lilák. In the preseason when I started there I bet our gorgeous
manager that we would win the Magyar Kupa and/or finish in the
top 3 in the league but only if he gave me a kit shirt with his
name & #1 on the back. He laughed at me, took the bet & bought
me the shirt, which I wore every single game - we won the cup
and finished 3rd in the league! He is still paying off my
winnings [emoji23]
Hate not being with him & our boys right now but we are Skyping
regularly. If he & I are still at the club when you finally get
to Hungary, I will arrange for you to have a full stadium tour,
lunch at the club & VIP tickets for a game. As I am on his team
of staff if he leaves I leave with him, hopefully we will remain
there though - Néni loves her boys. [emoji7]
You stay safe as well - I'm always around for a chat
Skype/WhatsApp/email/Text/Facetime if you ever need to talk x

Lovely to read things like this. You are a true football maniac
----it takes one to know one and I have a good friend up here in
the north east who will be very interested in reading this when
I get chance to see him again ---he is also a real football
maniac and knows more about non-league football than many
people.
Keep up the good work --even if it is from a distance! I am an
eternal optimist, in spite of what you may think with my many
comments about VAR, and I just never worry about anything, a
mindset I have had since 11 February 1985 because of an incident
in Germany which changed my thinking on everything.
Stay positive and we may just get the chance to meet up on that
trip in the future. x

The cheeky wotsits are playing me up!
I started yesterday's Skype session with "Ma Nénivel - Szabály
11: A Les" (Today with Néni (Aunt) Law 11 - Offside). Lots of
eye rolling and use of the mute button!!! We have absolutely the
worst record of offside, 3 disallowed goals in the last 3 games
because they can't stay onside! ::)
They seem to forget who deals with any discipline issues - they
will blimmin listen!! [emoji23]
