Enough about the score already I reverted to type and spent post-match Dubrovnik with the Croatians in the Belfast Celtic bar.
The good people of Hrvatska have quickly moved on too from their favourites beating Scotland 2-1 in the European Nations Cup.
As Josko, with whom I share a sauna back in my billet at the Grand Hotel Park, reminds me, it’s only a friendly.
The Dubrovcanins are too, curious and direct.
By the time we part and I revive myself with my cold overhead shower I feel we have more of an insight of each other.
Although, gratefully for you dear reader, no unsavoury mental images here, Croatians wear towels to protect their modesty.
Green party
Whether the locals indeed know the Celtic history which is enough to make your hearts go whoah, whoah, whoa is moot.
They may just like the green, white and gold colour scheme on the walls and the craic.
The locals were out in numbers, drinking the Ozujksko local brew although naturally there is Guinness on tap.
The Celtic Bar Belfast Dubrovnik is obviously a treasure trove.
For those who follow the Bhoys with pictures of heroes, past and present.
And Irish reference and political points such as a You Are Welcoming Free Derry model.
Feeling flush
In the interests of fairness and reaching across the Glasgow Religious Divide the Belfast Bar is inclusive to their Rangers rivals.
In the urinal and the loo where the Gers’ crest is prominent.
Now for those who like their subject matter puerile and guttural then we will be delving into Game of Thrones Old Town Dubrovnik.
And share that with you and much else.
As we continue our loveholidays and easyJet holiday to Dubrovnik for our pearl anniversary.
But for now we’re checking out what else is on the prom and diddly om pom pom and that’s worth a piece in itself.
Underscoring this week though we’ve got us our sports bar so that’s our nights sorted.
With the Croatians in the Belfast Celtic bar.
