  1. 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!
  3. Your reply made sense to Malcolms contradictory post. Dont get sucked in any more in he is on the deliberate wind up.
  4. 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’ 😆
  5. 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 🙂
  6. 😂, thank you ❤️ He absolutely hates politics so I know he genuinely would have forgotten about the ‘better together’ slogan being political. He probably weighed up his options in a mad panic and felt the ‘joke ‘ suggestion could have backfired had I been in a ‘mood’ 😆
  7. 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.
  8. Too soon. I am still hurting 😭
  9. 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.
  10. A belated thanks for being the only thing that made me smile last night.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 👍 thanks for confirming. I expect DTS and Orraloon are beavering away typing up a change.org petition as we speak.
  17. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
