Thats some interpretation of ‘support’. They were as hostile as hell and their ‘song sheet’ was 90% provocation . I suppose thats what happens when you are a wee extension of England. I personally wasn’t offended in any way, as I mentioned earlier, it just made them sound like fannies. I was more irritated, the constant ‘ Scotland getting battered’ song was like listening to those vuvuzelas for 90 mins. Or Doh a Deer. But if I ever do get offended I will take your sound advice and join a wee sewing bee or something equally suitable for women and those of an easily offended disposition 👍

A tent would have been perfect last night!

Your reply made sense to Malcolms contradictory post. Dont get sucked in any more in he is on the deliberate wind up.

Oh , do not associate ‘ he hates politics’ with ‘taking a step back’ . He thinks they are ALL crooks . Infact he could have his very own ‘Get it off your chest ‘ thread dedicated to the crookiness of all them crooks. I know what you mean about certain phrases. I get a shiver when I see ‘Better Together ‘ written anywhere . However I console myself with the fact it must be worse for the other side, lets be honest, its pretty hard to avoid ‘YES’ 😆

You are not wrong. Our support was truly honking last night . Folk can go on about the team giving them nothing to cheer about but there was not even any build up in a stadium where a reasonable crowd were in early . We have qualified for the Euros, I would have thought that was some sort of justification for atmosphere at the start . Away fans will always bring some noise , it’s often a hard core of dedicated support and they have usually been drinking all day. It’s not so much fun jumping on a bus from work or driving on a freezing Tuesday night, but jeezo we were pathetic . As far as your support goes, I have never really bundled NI in with the ‘England’ rivalry, but the twice I have witnessed the fans has not been particularly pleasant . Might be a home nation thing but I think its probably a bit more bitter than that, no doubt fuelled by royalty, politics and some fans of a certain Scottish club. I would personally rather leave that at home. On both sides. Your team deserved to win, you did what you had to , but I will not be rushing back in the future to witness our revenge 🙂

I can categorically say I will never be back at another NI game. I thought the last one was maybe just a bad experience. Was laughable right enough hearing them singing almost continuously about Scotland being ‘ battered ‘ everywhere we go when they are up just 1-0 in a friendly yet we have qualified from the group for the Euros. Kinda actually lends weight to the ‘thick Irish’ title that is jokingly bestowed upon them 🙄 It would probably not have been so irritating if we had performed better but there is definitely a nasty side to their support.

Too soon. I am still hurting 😭
-
Seriously wish I had, it was bloody baltic to add to the rest of the negatives. First time ever I considered leaving early, and I have stayed to the end for some amount of dog shit performances.
-
A belated thanks for being the only thing that made me smile last night.
-
It was utter shite. Was so efficient it got me in 30 mins early. Please can we go back to missing the entire first half.
-
I have to agree with this. We just were just not good enough and it was arguably the worst atmosphere I have experienced in years. I could also have happily throttled every single NI fan. It was like listening to England.
-
Exactly. But why emphasise that you will still get a point in that section and not in the normal transfer ticket section ? As themikedoug says, there are plenty of people transferring so we will soon know.
-
Its not particularly clear in the ticket information link. The final paragraph in the ‘members without a smartphone section’ makes me think that this is the only transfer situation where you will get a point , as it doesn’t state this anywhere else, but I am not sure.

Its my wedding anniversary today. 36 years married. This is the card I got 😡 He said: ‘ i bought it on Saturday and was writing it last night. I thought ‘ i have heard that phrase before. Then i remembered ’ ‘fuck . it was the No sides strapline in the Independence referendum. I didn’t have time to get another card so just altered it . ‘ We had better get a win tonight or this could go down as the worst anniversary ever.

👍 thanks for confirming. I expect DTS and Orraloon are beavering away typing up a change.org petition as we speak.

Crowd might be a bit lower but 20,000 of them turning up at 7.30 pm is never going to help .

I couldn’t think what it was that the design of the top reminded me of , it is of course a Playstation type design. Great pic below of McTeeko and his wee boy. I think the top looks good on kids, probably because of the Playstation connection. I know adults play it too but I definitely think its more a kids design. Might be because I prefer a plain top right enough. Great combination below.

I think you could do either of these ways. I think your ticketless pal just has to download the Hampden ticket app, then your holiday pal transfers his ticket to him using the ticketless pals email address. ( first pic) would be good if someone could confirm this though incase its only another ssc member it can be transferred to . If so , treat it like holiday guy has no smartphone ( second pic.) as these can be transferred

Get yourself ready for Germany ! 🏴 🇩🇪😎 The Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal are selling Scotland sunglasses to raise funds for the charity . 3 pairs for £21 and free postage in the UK. Go on, get them ordered. It’s a bit of fun and helping a very worthwhile cause. I am not involved in the charity just helping promote this. I dont get paid anything , I even had to buy my own sunglasses. Happy to post a pic if it helps sell them 😏 https://yelluk.wixsite.com/sunshineappeal/product-page/tartan-army-sunshine-appeal-sunglasses-three-pairs?fbclid=IwAR0eq6FBeVBTRMVaIHMy-tiT8K2d6aj98L3ox_jkuHQRV91fFF7OcVZ_vXQ

Err, I don’t think so. https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/survey-results/daily/2023/11/29/ab42a/1 72% of scots think it has gone very badly ( 51% ) or fairly badly (21%) The most negative in the Uk. -
I agree, if we have to lose to anyone I would rather it be Germany. But not by a huge margin as I feel we would be on the back foot constantly . Playing Germany at home in the opening game of the euros is going to be hugely different to playing Netherlands at home in a friendly. There was absolutely no real pressure on Netherlands the other night, yes , they will have wanted to win but they will not have panicked when we were the better team as there was not a huge amount riding on it. On the other hand, if we can hold Germany at 0-0 for over an hour and also be holding our own, they absolutely will panic in such a big game. They could start making mistakes. I would hope we would not be making multiple subs like we did the other night either . The pressure may get too much for us in the end but it is very possible that any defeat is tight if we can keep the heid.
