  1. I don’t fancy their bellend purple way top. I actually thought our top looked decent when I saw it in action last night.
  2. Has been going on for years and will continue to happen until they put something in place which completely eradicates it. I pretty much manage to get to every away match I want to (and can afford to) without harvesting so the daft bastards are wasting money to guarantee first refusal for tickets to matches in tiny stadiums. You should have slyly found out his name and shopped him to the SSC. 😂
  3. It’s 6 games without a win against England, France, Spain, Netherlands, Georgia away (where we have never won and never even took a point previously) and a decent Norway team in a dead rubber. If it was 6 competitive games without a win against lower ranked teams then I could see the point of being concerned. If we win our next 3 friendlies are those people who were booing last night going to suddenly think we are going to win Euro 2024 because we have beaten 2 mediocre teams and a poor one? I’d rather be losing friendlies against top ranked teams just now than be losing games that actually matter in June.
  4. If it wasn’t a friendly last night Clarke would not have made the changes he did. We were the better team until the subs were made albeit we were losing. On another night we could easily have scored 3 or 4 goals against a good team. If the game had finished 4-4 I don’t think anyone would have been moaning about Clarke. If we lose on Tuesday night that will be much more of a concern for me than a late collapse against the Dutch away from home. A comfortable win and good performance against NI and last night’s game can be forgotten about.
  5. He probably decided to keep quiet in case the England call up never came. Will be interesting to see what happens if he doesn’t play a competitive game for England and comes crawling to us in a few years.
  6. Getting into Hampden has been a farce since they brought in the automatic turnstiles. Tuesday won’t be any different but hopefully it won’t be worse. At least there won’t be people trying to do some sort of drunk origami with A4 sized tickets they have printed off.
  7. Who started that? Gary Lineker?
  8. I turned my WiFi and mobile data off and can still access my ticket for the NI game. Presumably this will still be the case when the QR codes are available on the day of the game. I’m not saying using phones is necessarily easier but I don’t think it make things more difficult (assuming the app is stable and everything goes OK on match days). Giving people the option to print from the app would probably have been the best solution I suppose.
  9. Does the app do that? Surely you get the choice of an email? Not sure about electricity but since everyone has their face stuck in their phones constantly I don’t think it would make a difference. Regardless of any of that the paperless tickets are here to stay so I think we just need to accept it. Having said that there is apparently an option for anyone who doesn’t have a smartphone so I guess you could just tell the SSC you don’t have one and go down that route?
  10. I actually prefer electronic tickets. No chance of losing them and if you are daft enough (or unlucky enough) to lose your phone you can log in someone else’s It’s also much better for the environment if you care about that sort of thing. I might change my mind if the app goes tits up a week on Tuesday…….
  11. I’m not suggesting the system is perfect but I don’t think this is an issue anyone can complain about. There can’t be many 11-13 year olds who don’t already have an email address. They are also free and easy to set up for anyone who doesn’t have one.
  12. An extra tenner for that. Or slightly less than a tenner with the discount I suppose.
  13. I think all 4 games are on Viaplay. Netherlands and NI games certainly are. Presumably BBC Scotland have struck some sort of deal with Viaplay to show the home games.
  14. Clearly it wasn’t done on purpose. Some sort of technical balls up.
  15. My points were wrong just before the sale for Euro 2020 and they hadn’t even moved to a new system then.
