Champions League Qualifier 3

On Thursday night, I went to see one of Edinburgh's football teams, Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) play in their Champions League Qualifier against AEK Athens are Murrayfield Stadium (yes, home of course to Scottish Rugby.. go figure!). It was an entertaining night but man, Scottish football fans are scary people when their team loses. You see, appreciation of sport in the UK is completely different to that in Australia. In Australia, we encourage our sports teams, whether or not they win. At the end of the game, most fans of an Australian team will congratulate their team on playing their best, despite losing. Here in Scotland, one slip up by their team's players can cause a barrage of terrible comments directed at the offending player. Some of the foul language that was used was unbelievable! Then, because the Hearts were well and truly losing ten minutes before the game ended, the whole stadium pretty much got up and left. Only a quarter of the stadium were left to clap them off the field. I couldnt believe the crowd's attitude. I will never understand that passion behind football in Britain.

It looked like a promising scoreline until....










... finger pointing begun..."Ref, he just pinched my bottom!".....











....the players began their own congo line....
