  1. If we`re one of best 3rds will we not definitely play last 16 in Budapest? Alphabetical order group D before E or F. Or how could we be in Seville (Group A doesn`t qualify?) or Glasgow?
  2. Trying to renew. Only option I get is " Pick up in person". Also when I try to renew 2 people it says I can`t have 2 items in checkout.. Thought someone said groups could renew together.
  3. If we qualify we`ll play 2 matches at Hampden and 1 at Wembley. If we don`t qualify presumably Israel/Norway/Serbia will play twice at Hampden. If ROI qualify they`ll play twice in Dublin and once in Bilbao. If they don`t Slovaquia, Bosnia or NI will play twice in Dublin and once in Bilbao. If Hungary or Rumania qualify they`ll play 2 matches at home but we won`t know till March if either or neither is going to qualify so how will this be arranged in draw next week? Pot 4 is for 4 play off winners, Wales and Finland but with Hungary and Rumania in same play off "group" how can UEFA confirm where all teams will play? Telling winner of Kosovo play off "group" they`ll play in Budapest or Bucharest? UEFA have already announced there is no longer need for extra draw the day after play off finals.
  4. I suppose they`re trying to have maximum time between semis and finals (5 days) but 8 playoff matches on the same day may reduce TV audiences. England have confirmed a home friendly with Denmark on 31st March which could clash with a NI v ROI final and our final (hopefully).
  5. I`m talking about a possible draw on 1st April after the playoff matches. Not quite sure why it would be needed but am guessing it`d be to slot hosts into their places in groups or to keep countries apart - Armenia and Turkey perhaps
  6. Apparently there could be another draw after the playoffs but not sure under what circumstances. To make sure hosts are in their proper groups i suppose.
  7. Yes well done Finland but depressingly yet another country which has qualified for a tournament since 1998. I remember reading an article about Hearts in 90s titled "Supporting Scotland`s 13th/14th team" cause before 1998 there were 12 or 13 other clubs which had won league or a cup since Hearts`last win at the time. We must be about 25th in Europe maybe worse with Finland now, Latvia in 2004, Albania, Wales and NI in 2016 etc.
  8. If we qualify we`ll be in group D with England. Does this mean that if we don`t get through playoffs whoever wins our playoff will be in group D playing 2 or 3 matches at Hampden? Not sure if we could play another host in playoff, Hungary perhaps.
  9. Interesting. Does this mean that if we lost play off semi final would still be at Hampden if we win draw to play final at home? So could be Bulgaria v Serbia at Hampden in final. Only a couple of days to make arrangements for final.
  10. Many thanks for all replies. All useful.
  11. Spoke too soon. O`Mara out of doubles in 3 sets.
  12. What park in Scotland would be considered private? Sports ground owned/used by a private sports club perhaps. Cricket, rugby or golf club might be big enough. Football stadium?
  13. I`ve rarely bothered with travel insurance but reading of cases in news of folk stranded abroad (dead or alive) plus numerous cases of lost luggage makes me think I probably should have something. I know some people pay a set amount each year but no idea how much you`d have to travel to make that worthwhile. Anyone here pay every year? Sometimes it`s mentioned that if you pay for trip by credit card you`ll be covered but no idea if this is really the case.
  14. Jonny O`Mara from Arbroath (with partner from El Salvador) currently winning in US Open last 16 Men`s Doubles. Haven`t heard his name mentioned much.
  15. Still tickets for 125€ and more for 3 of the Hampden matches. Ridiculous pricing will mean a lot of empty seats at a lot of matches.
