I have been to many a friendly game and they were all just that, friendly. Whether involving teams from Engerland, Europe or elsewhere. However this was not the same. There even had to be a considerable Police / Steward presence around their section of Paradise, which is not usually the case. More a token presence in normal circs.
Ironically the two lads sitting beside us were Leeds fans, over from Dublin. A couple of great spuds who I chatted to throughout the match. Much shaking of hands and "safe journey home" at the end of the game.
If this was a pre-season friendly, where we played loads of laddies coz there's a game during the week, I wouldn't want to see them when it mattered.
Oh and Fernandez was on the bench and warmed up but didn't play.
