  1. Not got mine's yet....what passport details do they need....name and number?? Will it be name and number printed on ticket???? Seems a lot of checking for a football match!! Just thinking about problems Welsh fans had outside Rotterdam (?) stadium.
  2. Question....has Tierney ever been played at left back when Robertson played? Just a pub debate about who is best although we all agreed we are luck in this ONE position!
  3. Yes - thanks John McGinn for rubber stamping my Friday post!! I really think he is the best option....rarely seen him come off second best in any company!
  4. Before he retired and immediately after, I don't think he had his finest hours for the national team. Now that he is back to form - and we must give him the benefit of doubt over niggling injuries etc - it is just bloody bad luck to lose him now!! I am a fan of Scott Brown so was just wondering at the time about his fitness. His demeanour was not right, he seemed unwilling to go forwards. I am not sure how terrific he had been for Celtic over the same period....yes I know he is now!! I know these are massive games and no time to experiment, but how about John McGinn?? He could play that role, get in between their midfield breaking things up and start the ball rolling for out attacks. Pretty much the Scott Brown role. If anything the ball would be quicker from back to front. Yes - It will probably be Fletcher though??
  5. Long shot - but did anyone apply and get lucky for tickets for the Cardiff final? Longer shot - anyone do the above and now can't make it???! Looking for two!!
  6. Bet he'd be prettier in pink too!
  7. Hmmm.......................BOAT SHOES!! Do we have a flag yet.....or even a simple polo shirt???
  8. Missed this!! Hopefully I will be able to re-join as a founding member after my slip into Palladium Boots.........although, to be fair, I wasn't on the boat!! Won't happen again!!

      Hey Jock - Not sure whay this is on my 'status page' and don't really know how it all works to be honest!! But, I take it the exchange above relating to a message from Speckyg is a reply to him!?? You said "You are not on my bus you told me you are going with someone else". I take it that this is to speckyg (John and Mary Gillies) and nothing to do with me?? :)

      it is mate sorry not good at this modern shit form of communication

  10. Ok - I know that is has been a while since we got the handy wee fold-up booklets with our tickets, but I thought that there was some kind of communication with the tickets - useful info or at least a cover letter?? The envelope I received contained two tickets and nothing else - the tickets (not SSC fault) don't even mention 'away fans' or 'Scotland Only'. Maybe the fact that they are flimsy bar code jobs, makes it seem that I'm missing something compared to previous deliveries?? Can't complain about the speed at wheich they were delivered, but £7.50????!!
  11. I was hopeful my tickets for the Marseille quarter final (QF1) might see a tasty France v Spain match.....but well and truly scuppered. Nothing is going right and don't know what to hope for. It's the winner of Switzerland/Poland v Croatia/Portugal now. Switzerland and Poland both been bit disappointing - seen enough of Poland over the last year or two anyway! With one eye on who I want to be sharing a Marseille bar with........Poland and Croatia could be the worst scenario (?).......but maybe the best game! I'm sure we haven't seen the best of Portugal which you can say about one or two other teams. What pairing would you want to see through to this game if you had tickets??
  12. It seems he had completed the implementation of the new vision for a better Scotland in 2020 and 'moved on'. In four years, we should be pretty good!!
  13. You could go mad trying to figure out what needs to be done and where things went wrong. What are we not doing now that we did in the 50's and 60's? I don't think a lot of money was ploughed into coaching then but we did have raw materials that we don't seem to have now. Is it a symptom of the modern age where you don't see kids having 'kickabouts' in the street anymore?? Surely we aren't the only country with this problem? Rather that professional coaching, manageable numbers, excellent facilities....we maybe need to provide areas in as many neighbourhoods as possible that provide for over-subscribed 'matches', poor surfaces, goals the size of garden gates etc!! Just get kids playing football again. Once coaches have an intake of youngsters that have acquired the skills, then we could tackle the problem we seem to have of mentality, attitude, maturity when compared against other countries. Marc Wotte ended up slagging off our youngsters as being more interested in burgers and Buckfast - a line fed to him if ever there was one! He was thanked for his services of course. Interesting that Germany doubled the coaches budget after a failed tournament. I wonder who and how many are making these decisions in Germany? Here - we create a job for a single guy who must be good cos he's Dutch!......and gave a top job to Gordon Smith (a personal gripe)....cos he 'knew fitba'.....oh and could talk well in front of the camera. It's an absolute joke. More people need to be involved with the bigger decisions and even at Scottish government level.
