  1. Hi mate. Apologies if this has already been asked, but me and a few mates fly into Frankfurt early on Tues 18th June. Do you need to prebook the ICE trains or can you just turn up & buy a ticket a bit like ScotRail? Easier to prebook obviously but just concerned that if the flight is delayed and we miss the train we have booked, we would need to then rebook another one anyway. Also we are staying on Brusseler Straße near Molkestraße station, area looks ok close to the city centre…? Cheers 🍺
  2. I think you are correct mate. Pretty sure mass events in Moldova are only allowed 50% capacity at present. Very difficult to know how things will be in a month’s time. I was really looking forward to this trip… the chance to potentially book a play-off spot (if all goes well on Tuesday night) gives the game that bit more of an edge also. But it looks like I will struggle to get a ticket for the game and not sure if going into the home end is feasible, so thinking about giving it a miss now.
  3. Booked on the sport options flight from Edinburgh for this game but just read that Chisinau has now been placed into a Red code alert area of Covid restrictions due to high incidence rates: https://www.moldpres.md/en/news/2021/09/28/21007138 Not sure exactly what this means for bars/restaurants/public events capacities and opening hours but some sketchy information here: https://www.moldpres.md/en/news/2021/09/22/21006974 Hopefully not too many problems but difficult to predict what the situation will be like over there In 6 weeks time.
  4. I think this is a great idea and have always believed that all Scotland games be available across the country on normal tv. However, with only 2 and half weeks to go this is likely a bit too soon and even more unlikely. Has there been any communication with the broadcasters already?

  6. New Year Derby 2nd January 2014. Hibs 2-1 Hearts. Attendance 20106.
  7. The 2014 league final? Official attendance was 51k and I'm sure ICT sold approx 8k. Still very impressive that Aberdeen broke the 40k mark but it was a bit short of 50k! Back on topic. Not a huge amount to separate the two. And on their day both teams, and Hibs, can pull similar numbers for a one off game.
  8. I would except us to be allocated and sell out about 30k for this one (same as the Kilmarnock final in 2007). Going to be a very tough match and can't go into the game being complacent. Great chance to get some silverware though. Can't wait.
  9. To argue that smoke grenades don't add to the atmosphere is very debatable. In the area they are set off they do seem to get everyone going, add a bit of colour and improve the visual spectacle. Especially when you see games on the continent in the ultras sections and tifo etc. You only have to youtube some of the games in Sweden which look amazing. Night and day compared to the atmosphere on these shores. The show on the pitch is obviously the most important thing. But fans experience shouldn't be ignored. Football is tribal FFS. Otherwise nobody would shout or sing, and we would all sit there like we were at the cinema. Obviously they aren't for everyone though so having designated areas for the "ultras" or pyro merchants should be the way forward. Then the boring farts who want to sit on their arses the whole game and get annoyed at a Wee bit of smoke for 30secs won't be calling for £1000's worth of fines. Just adds to another long list of things that are deemed too dangerous for the football in this country. Safe standing- too dangerous apparently. Even though it's perfectly fine in Germany etc. (Look forward to seeing how it goes at Celtic Park and if other clubs will follow suit). No drink allowed in the concourse. Even though in England, which has had worse hooligans problems than us, it's completely fine. No swearing- you'll hurt the kids' ears. No smoke grenades- it may cause a mass panic in an outdoor arena and cause multiple respiratory attacks. Even though at much more crowded concerts and festivals like TITP they haven't done so. (Can I also add that I think these smoke grenades use cold burning technology and cause no external flame. So unlike flares they will not cause burns). Other countries in Europe have embraced the whole ultras and tifos thing. Gave them designated areas. Allowed them to let off their smokes grenades, shout and make noise for the whole game. Allow folk to have a beer at the game. Have fan experience in mind. Stadiums are full. The game is thriving. The game is dying in this country. However, all the authorities & police seem to have in mind is to bring in facial recognition equipment to arrest and ban a bunch of young lads for letting of some smoke grenades.
  10. Agree that we need to hold onto the ball better. Doesn't help when you get rockets in the support booing Scott Brown for going backwards when the pass wasn't on. All the good sides don't mind going backwards and starting again as long as they keep hold of the ball. Instead in this country you get the tuts and groans, and the shouts of "get it up the f***ng park!" if you dare to pass the ball back to the defenders.
  11. This is terrible. Showed far too much respect and no urgency from kick off.
  12. The Lion is on our national team badge so do all the posters reacting negatively to this think we should change our "subservient" badge as well?? What a load of p**h! As many flags as possible would look amazing. A sea of saltires and lion Rampants! Fly both flags with pride.
  13. Nice n Sleazy.Pretty sure you can still get a glass of the finest tonic wine if you ask. Wasn't really my cup of tea and Haven't been in years but I used to enjoy the White Russians.
