Seems sensible. The SFA should get on top of this and have people in the next few points level indicate if they would like to be in the ballot for tickets so that nobody who has no intention of going isn't entered into the ballot. This would probably save a lot of back and forth with UEFA if it drops a few levels.

Scotland v Czech Republic: 1,972 tickets (134 at £155, 450 at £107, 1,388 at £43). England v Scotland: 2,655 (128 at £155, 494 at £107, 2,033 at £43). Scotland v Croatia: 1,940 (133 at £155, 490 at £107, 1,317 at £43). The breakdown in case anyone else is wondering. Wish I spent an extra few minutes looking for this before I bought the tickets.

Huh, not sure what I read then lol.

Did anyone else not go for the category 3 tickets? All the reports I read said that they were limited with the majority of seats being in the higher categories so I didn't want to take the risk of them selling out while I was adding the other tickets so I went cat 2.

Hmm. I got my tickets ok. The confirmation page was a bit weird saying something about clicking next to get into a queue but I got the confirmation email through and can see the tickets in the ticket portal bit.

Hopefully the message saying the ticket portal will be available from 14:00 is central European time and not BST.

Hopefully. I'm getting married on Sunday and tomorrow at 1pm will no doubt be the most stressful point of the week.

Got my 3 emails through. Slightly concerned by the important note that tickets are not guaranteed and subject to availability. I hope this is just if people try to buy outside of the sales window?

Seeing as it's a Nations League Fixture I'm pretty sure UEFA would have had something to say had they refused to play us.

It was ridiculous that there wasn't a card shown until the 90th minute. I've seen refs be too card happy and give a yellow card for nothing in the opening minutes of these games, but to let McGregors go set the tone for the game. Jones was worse for me, Jack wins the ball but studs were up and makes contact at speed with the player, but at least there was an attempt to go for the ball. Jones was a shitebag tackle, no attempt to get anywhere near the ball. I hope he gets fined for that, it's embarassing.

I think they get there stats from a centeralised source so I don't think it is the BBC's fault. Sofascore has it 60% in Rangers favour so could be just the case of someone put it in the wrong way https://www.sofascore.com/st-mirren-rangers/bXsjX

Not sure where the possesion stat game from that had it 60% is St Mirrens favour. I was following the game on bet365 and they never had Rangers having under 60% possesion

The only way some people will learn.

The Rangers game is on Rangers TV worldwide. Not sure about the Celtic game.

That's because as a Rangers fan I am still waiting for a dodgy decision to go in our favour 😋

Aaid beat me too it

In a few minutes

Hopefully it there is another embarrassment its at least a couple of weeks. I have concerns about the Rangers game. They looked a decent team and an early goal would make the Ibrox crowd very nervous.

When you have mounted police right behind you telling you to move forward and get off the road you tend to shuffle forward a wee bit

While there is no doubt that there were some instances of this there were cases where codes which hadn't been used before wouldn't scan. This resulted in the stewards having to enter the numbers from the bardcodes manually. For codes which hadn't previously been scanned this worked and the code was accepted, for those that had been scanned before the manual entering of the code didn't work and the code was flagged up as having already been scanned.

Just seen that there are 2 to the left used for Killie fans but also 7 for the chadwick stand

I think the left 2 are used for Killie fans, or at least they were the times I have been in that stand

I wasn't at the game but have had issues getting into that stand previously before the new ticket system (the other stand in my experience is much better). Part of the issues I have had when I have been there is that there are only 5 gates for 4200 people to get through. You have Kille fans entering through the same set of turnstiles at one end so there is speration there and then cops keeping the queue in line with the turnstiles on the other side so you are forced into a quite a small area. The road behind is also open and the Police urge you to move forward to get off the road. If the situation was the same and there were extra delays with searching and issues with the new ticketing system (which are expected, it is a new system, there will always be teething issues, I expect issues at Ibrox on Sunday as it is the first game with our new system) then it is easy to see how things can become quite tight, especially as kick off comes and goes and you are stuck in a queue outside the stadium people will be eager to get in. Opening the gate was not on, if things were really that tight and people were getting crushed then it would be easier to spill to the side past the gate rather than go through it. While the set up of getting into that stand is not ideal, it is not Killie's fault. For me it is the over agressiveness of the cops trying to keep the crowd moving and into the game. I have had the same at other grounds where they tell you to move and you physically can't go anywhere. Celtic Park for Scotland v Ireland is the example that comes to mind.

Aye, they have had the UK rights to the home games so far as well. 9.99 a pop but at least the 'blue pound' goes to Rangers. And as crap as the commentary is it is better than Premier Sports attempt of the Progress game where they missed the start of the game and then didn't have any audio for a while.
