There's only one end at the ground. The other end is another pitch.

I've ordered 3 but haven't received the email. However, you can go in to your account on the site and print them off.

Spain 82 was the best. We're well overdue an updated version.
Is that the red one with the blue pin stripes? If so, yes!
I maintain that the last away one (white/pink/yellow) will go down as a classic and will feature in this list in 20 years time.

A bit daft that in my opinion, if we assume the squad will be the same as the last one:
- the Championship finishes on May 7th - 13 players will go 5 weeks without a game
- Hibs finish on May 6th - add John McGinn to that list.
- Bundesliga, Scottish Premiership and English Premier League finish on May 20th/21st - 8 players will have 3 weeks with no game.
- Celtic finish May 27th with the Cup Final - 6 players.
So, there's only really going to be 6 players who are relatively match fit. Surely there's a case for playing on June 3rd/4th.

First time I'd seen Cairney live today and I thought he was superb. My Portuguese mate couldn't believe he had no caps.

My mistake then. I use the flash scores app for my coupon and it gives you all the stats etc for games. Said on there that Hanley was subbed for Perez after 49 minutes. Apologies
I've just looked at the stats from the game to refresh my memory. It was Hayden that came off, the app probably mixed them up.

Hanley Subbed off for a striker after 48 minutes with Newcastle 1 up? Anyone know why?
What? He played the whole game.
He was fine for about 70 mins, made a couple of mistakes with about 20 minutes to go which seemed to knock his confidence a bit. Lost Ince completely for his missed sitter but then was backs to the wall with the rest of the team.
Johnny Russell was poor, didn't get anything out of Yedlin and was subbed off in the second half.

Verdict ?
I thought the book was pretty average but on the plus side it may make watching the film less risky as my expectations arent high.
My wife preferred it to the book. Both are ok to me, but I couldn't get past the fact that I didn't like a single character. Emily Blunt is very good as well, give it a whirl if you've read the book.

Think i am going to go to the La Rams Cardinals game at Twickenham, been to Wembley a few times and never been to Twickenham, always a stadium i have fancied going too. Anyone else going to a game next year?
Sept 24 / Oct 1
Jacksonville Jaguars against Baltimore Ravens - Wembley
Sept 24 / Oct 1
Miami Dolphins against New Orleans Saints - Wembley
October 22 / 29
Cleveland Browns against Minnesota Vikings - Twickenham
October 22 / 29
Los Angeles Rams against Arizona Cardinals - Twickenham
I'll look at doing one of the Twickenham games. Is the contract with Twickenham just for 3 games in total? If so that'll be it done after next year's games. Then on to White Hart Lane?

I've seen Cooper 6 times last season and once this and he's a far better option than Hanley who is derided by Toon fans.
I'll defer to you on Cooper as I've never really seen him but I would disagree with you there on Hanley. I'm a season ticket holder and I don't think anyone really has an opinion on Hanley as he hasn't been seen that much. Most people would probably just shrug and say "I dunno"
My personal opinion is that as he's not playing for his club and is making regular mistakes internationally, he should be out of the squad till he gets back playing regularly.
-
2 of us booked yesterday, just wanted it sorted before Christmas. Newcastle to Vilnius via Amsterdam with KLM. Both 6 pointers, not confident of getting a ticket but should get in the home end at least as I can't see us being much of a draw for the Lithuanian public!

Does that rule out Luxembourg then?
I hope I'm wrong but I'd be surprised if we had a friendly before Slovenia.
-
Sorry GJ!
I would say Slovenia are a level up from Montenegro going purely on results and having seen neither recently! However, we should be looking to beat both of them if we have aspirations of doing anything ever again!

How would Montenegro compare for instance?
Well they finished 4th in a tough-ish Euro 2016 qualifying group. This campaign they've won in Denmark, drawn in Romania and lost at home to Armenia which implies a bit of inconsistency!
Personally, I feel that would be a good opponent for a friendly but only if the game was utilised properly. The result isn't the most important thing for us in friendlies. Currently the priority should be figuring out how we can protect our defence better, if we can figure out how to accommodate more than 1 of our left backs at the same time then great!

Our organisation of friendlies is piss poor as it always is.
Just as an example a team in our group who we need to compete against to get feckin out of it have arranged friendlies around EVERY one of their next 3 competitive games against world class opposition in Spain, Germany and France.
Then there's Slovakia? I haven't looked up their friendly list yet but they as well as England had a summer of competitive football.
Us? feckin feck aw! The space at November is going to come and go and if we do get anything else for the others it will be a last minute job as usual.
we should be arranging as many games and as much time together as possible particularly when its a feckin designated international fixture week!!
Just looked this up out of interest. In November, Slovakia are playing Austria away, Slovenia are playing Poland away.
It's ok though, the manager doesn't like friendlies and we've tried out all possible formations and players so there's no need for them....... oh!
-
If you look at the qualifying for the Euros (same group sizes), once the games against 6th place teams are taken off the 2nd place teams had between 14 & 17 points.
If we assume 15 would be ok, we need 4 wins and 3 draws not including the Malta game. After last night, I just can't see us doing that tbh.
-
I've said it ad nauseum to my mates, but the last away kit is a proper classic and people will be wearing it to games in 20 years time. The last home was the best we've had for a while as well, although some people do have a problem with the silver badge which I can understand.
-
Aye, you will. We had someone cancel their Malta ticket and I got refunded the money.
-
I've a mate who's got a spare ticket in the Scotland end. Holler if you're interested.

daft question but I have to ask... you did select standard/special delivery from the drop down box when buying the tickets? if you selected collect in person and ordered for a group then the whole group would then be made to collect
Aye, I selected standard. It would be easily done though if a few in my group had made the order!

Thats possibly a change in tact as I booked 4 tickets for Metz, although the other 3 were at the 5 or 6 point level together, and I was the only one from my bookings asked to collect.
Aye could be, I always thought it was just individuals that had to collect. I had thought as well that maybe it's because I made the booking and it was me who was selected that the whole group has to?
-
The whole of our group have to collect. I hope it's somewhere easy as well, preferably the day before if possible!
It wouldn't let me edit the post, hence the duplicate!
-
Aye, I got one this afternoon as well.

If it hadn't sunk in already then it definitely has now
This. Every bloody game it gets worse, it's been a really enjoyable tournament and it's gutting seeing all the fans from the likes of Iceland, Albania, Norn Iron, Wales, Sweden, etc, etc enjoying themselves and wishing we were there.
Looking for three home end tickets
in Lithuania v Scotland
