Football tour time again.

Have you ever been on holiday with 32 other lads? If not, let me describe it for you. It is mental.

Went to Portugal a few days ago to play some other teams in some random friendly matches that no one really cared about. It's all about the booze.

When we went out at night we basically had a police escort watching over us at all times. 4 Huge blokes with batons and guns. They used their batons on us more than once when we got out of line.

They mostly hated the lying down game. Which, is as it sounds. A nominated person lies on their stomach. The last person from the group to do the same has to do a forfeit. This obviously prompts 33 guys (and sometimes others who like the look of it, or are scared there is a bomb in the building) to pounce on the floor - whether it be in a bar, club, restaurant or on the pitch during a game.

It was a holiday resort which makes it somewhat better as they are used to rowdy gatherings of people (Brits) and most of the bars were half outside half covered, though I'd be surprised if they get many groups like a football club on tour.

It's very fun, but totally exhausting. Back to the quiet life in Bangkok...
