  1. The under 21 game there the day before was the coldest I've ever been.
  2. This. Loada shite. Kept trying until almost 5pm and it was still showing that it had sold out at 18 points.
  3. The usual exasperating experience. Still tickets left a few moments before my 18 points would have been enough. The site seemed to be bobbing between tickets available / sold out / tickets available. Just need to chance it over there.
  4. Here's how this should be going. The secretary of the Ukrainian FA has a look in the Polish Wee Red Book for the telephone numbers of all the bigger clubs and gives them a bell, one by one. "Can we use your park, chief? There's a few quid in it for you." When he gets a yes, that's the venue. There's no way that England or Germany would be treated like this.
  5. I just booked Monday to Friday flights to Warsaw and will go with the flow. It does seem a bit like one of these mystery bus tours where you turn up not knowing where you're going. Despite the obvious problems that the Ukraine has, it's an easy one to pick a venue and let everyone, including their own players, make the appropriate arrangements. You can't imagine Germany or England being mucked about like this and UEFA doing nothing about it.
  6. Anything with "celebrity" in the title, or which contains celebrities doing something that they are pish at. Anything with the shortened "celebs" in the title is even worse, and should be strangled at birth. You just know it's going to be chock-a-block with reality TV halfwits.
  7. Not sure if this is a wind up, but just to clarify it, QP fans don't get any discount for Scotland games.
  8. Hopefully all the "move the games around / Hampden is shite" mob will be filling Pittodrie for this one.
  9. 2-3 defeat to Czech Rep. Two from Burke; good finish as he broke away in the first minute to put us ahead. Then down 1-2 before Burke scored a penalty. We lost a third a couple of mins later. Burke looks a bit out of place to be honest. Ralston of Celtic was good and we have a couple of big , but not exactly pacey, guys at the back. The Czechs were a bit more skillful and a bit more physical than us. If we can learn from this (Brazil and Indonesia to play), it'll have been very worthwhile. A reasonable performance against a team that are pretty fair at this level.
  10. In Salon for the first game. Nice wee town and there is a pub cum glorified beer off licence in the main square that has stacks of different beers and it's reasonably priced "My Beer". Very near the ground. By the way, Nice or Marseilles...the pick pockets are very, very good (aka bastards)! Look after yer gear and don't carry anything in outside pockets.
  11. An old story....supposedly Stan Bowles gambled all his wages away when he was at QPR. His wife contacted the club to see if they could help out and they agreed to give him £100 a week (a fair bit of money back then) to gamble, and the rest of his wages went directly to his wife.
  12. I saw your message re your bus.  Would you let me know if you have a couple of spaces please?  Might be three, but definitely two.

    Thanks

      Hi, Keith.

      I assume you're talking about the Canada game?
      When we firm things up, places will be available to members first then to non-members for £10.

      However, annual membership of WESTA is only £12, so.........

       

      regards

      John - aye, it was the Canada game.  I think I'm in the WWTA, but point taken!

      Cheers - I'll keep an eye open.

      Thanks for letting me know

       

  13. Is anyone organising a bus for this one from / calling at Glasgow?
  14. Went onto their site as I quite fancied buying myself a polo shirt / tracky top...and almost everything has "Vauxhall" on it. No thanks.
