How is that a taxi? His reflection shows he is driving or are my eyes deceiving me? No hands on the wheel suggests he's taking the photo also.
Typical fake bullshit liars that has taken over the world, showing off for the sake of being talked about.
OH, Look at me in Athens clarets fans rushing to get to the press conference, what a muppet!!

He’s in the outside lane of a greek motorway, leave it at that lads.

Great pictures, the taxi picture, I don't think is fake, although he looks to have blonde hair and a Tutenkhamen beard in the satnav reflection but black in the driving mirror. He's probably driving with his left hand and shifting the auto with his right. Looks like they are on the road to 'Elefsina' as far as my magnifying glass can tell.

Not only is that his reflection, its also his barnet in the rear view mirror. Hes obviously driving a car, abroad, whilst on his phone, on a motorway...
When in Athens I suppose...

I don't think that reflection looks owt like Daz Bentley imo. Of course, I could be wrong, I've had about 6 pints 3 magner's, 2 mojitos and a bottle of Heineken.

Someone needs to change the thread title here.
Was expecting loads of pictures of people having an amazing time in Athens (in fairness probs would have just made me jealous)... instead I’ve stumbled on some weird and totally pointless debate about whether Darren Bentley or the taxi driver are using their phone whilst driving (I think that’s the gist anyway).
Strange.

To be fair there was a thread started at aberdeen, hoped to keep it going game by game stage by stage. But images werent working and nobody bothered to fix it.

It's quite clearly the taxi driver's reflection as he's in the driving seat and the sat nav screen is tilted towards him, so not quite Manet's 'Bar at the Folies-Bergere' visual reflection conundrum. That was the birth of modernism, this is the modern and better.
Cretan rakis the best, no hangovers with it. I don't rate the aniseed stuff. Next to his chin could be a reflection of his phone in his left hand. I'm enjoying this, but HEINEKEN??????
Indecisive, This is just the taxi! Wait till Ben Mee heads the 0-1 winner in the 73rd minute.

There's no Culture Show on the telly anymore, so this is it! It all makes good sense, you know. I've received a lifetime ban from a chain of pubs in town for 'acting strange after a drink.' I think I cracked a joke at the bar, that's what it was, miserable sods. It's the escape from mental torture, I start smiling again. The general idea is sit straight forward, don't speak and grimace into the beer in silence, but it gets boring after a while.
I had this at Whitegate Nursery. Me and a friend (another professional artist, actually) used to always laughing and joking and it didn't go down very well. They put my afternoon kip bed in the store cupboard to keep me away from everyone else.
True story!

Your correct.I asked 3 TIMES on different threads Why NO Photo, thread from the Aberdeen away game.Was told there was a Problem,BUT AS YOU SAY NOBODY COULD BE BOTHERED TO FIX IT.
There should Have been a SPECIAL PHOTO THREAD FOR ALL THE EUROPEAN AWAY GAMES.
I was in Aberdeen . not in Istanbul or Athens.
These European nights may never happen again.
Can Mods or Admin please try and fix this problem.Part of our History will be gone for ever.
Well done to all those who have took the time and effort to follow the Clarets on this European dream tour..

I put a photo on here before the Aderdeen home game and it didn't come up onscreen, just image.jpg underlined. However, when I looked over my posts yesterday, I noticed the image was there and it said it had been viewed many times. There previously wasn't any need for a tinypic thingy if I sized the image accordingly in photoshop first and made it a jpeg image.

My Dad didn’t get to see us away from home in a European tie, until today. His photo is on the flag for the match tonight.
Rest easy Dad, I only wish you were still around to be here with me #UTC

What a touching gesture, good for you, I'm sure he'll be watching from above. My ex wife, sons mum, sadly passed away last year, she would have loved to be a part of this European adventure, long may it continue.

Hi Indecisive,
"Was expecting loads of pictures of people having an amazing time in Athens (in fairness probs would have just made me jealous)... instead I’ve stumbled on some weird and totally pointless debate about whether Darren Bentley or the taxi driver are using their phone whilst driving (I think that’s the gist anyway).
Strange."
I too somehow thought I'd be seeing photos of the Acropolis, Anthony Quinn and Irene Papas but looks we'll have to settle for Daz Bentley and an Unidentified Flying Taxi Driver (could be Robert De Niro).
