Shamrock Rovers fan held in Bulgaria over alleged 'fake passport'

A Shamrock Rovers supporter is going to miss his flight home after travelling to see them play Ludogorets on Tuesday evening as authorities prevented him from crossing the Bulgarian/Romanian border over an alleged 'fake passport'.

The border authorities prevented him from crossing into Romania for two hours before reportedly arresting him. His flight home is at 5 pm on Wednesday so with the lengthy travel time required to make it out to their airport he will not be able to make it in time.

The Department of Foreign Affairs told the Irish Mirror : "The Department of Foreign Affairs is aware of reports and is providing consular assistance. As with all cases, the Department does not comment on the details of any specific case."
