I think this is a decent outcome.
Swinney has a chance to steady the ship and hopefully bring people together. Kate should be deputy FM and prob Finance again.
Get her decent air time in front of the public and let them see her competence and get over this bogey man situation about her religion. She can be geared towards taking over from Swinney as he’s never going to be the man to lead us to Indy.

I wanted Forbes to get it in the last leadership contest but I wouldn’t say that Swinney seems like any sort of bad call at this point.
Admittedly, I don’t know the ins and outs of the entrenched camps within the SNP that may be doing more harm than good.

I don't know about their finances but I would imagine Labour would be desperate for an election as the only major party that will gain seats (and maybe the FM itself). The Tories would lose a lot of seats and would be the smallest of the three main parties by far so can't imagine they would want an election although not sure how they spin supporting a minority SNP Government.
The only thing for sure is that there are a lot of twists and turns to come this week.
Exactly. Anyone thinking that unionist parties can’t muster deep pockets to see off the SNP here is wishful thinking. They’ve been awaiting this opportunity 17 years.
Labour have the momentum and will be the big winners here in a GE.Lots of twists and turns to come like you say though. I do wonder if we could end up in some NI style stalemate where WM have to intervene to run SG business. They’d love that!
The reason I say that is that if nobody will back SNP in a minority admin (if they win most seats m) after a GE - it might also be tricky for the unionist parties. While in Scotland I’m sure the Lab/Con/Lib ‘better together’ crew would love a coaltion at Holyrood to see off the SNP, their Westminster bosses won’t allow Labour to go near the Tories. Realistically, Labour prob need enough seats between them, Libs and Greens to form a coalition. Otherwise, I don’t know how the numbers work for anyone but there’s a long way to go before we get to that point.

Finally a good decision. Even if his hand was forced into making it and the shit has already hit the fan. At least they had the common sense to get ahead of the game and control the outcome.

Guys, sorry this is probably advised online but I can’t see it - is the final chance to resell your tickets now gone?
I have a category 2 ticket for the Hungary game but now have a clash and would like to offer it up.
Is there any way for me to do this? It seems frankly ridiculous that 2 months from kick of there wouldn’t be some way to shift it.
Cheers
I’m pretty sure that for Euro2020 they had resales ongoing during the tournament. So would expect it to open again before the tournament but who knows.

After all the calls for the SNP to ditch the Greens over the past few years due to question marks over how beneficial the partnership has been, tail wagging dog, etc. - it would be ironic if the Greens were actually to be the ones to ditch the SNP.

It hadn’t crossed my mind to try and get tickets for games through other FAs.
Does anyone know of other sales planned?They were all done in December with the exception of the 4 play off teams (who have now completed sales also).

Surely the way that JD are putting on the euros badges isn’t right?
I spotted someone suggesting that the aren’t centred to the 3 stripes, because they are instead centred to the sleeve. It just looks ridiculous though. Can’t imagine the team will be running out like that.

Has anyone bought the 150th top from - cough - 'other sources' and compared it to a JD one?
Mine arrived this morning and I'd be interested to see if anyone could tell the difference. Mine looks spot on.
I’ve yet to see a DH gate kit that is indistinguishable from a real one.

Not true. People in the original ballet have bad tickets loaded in the app
Didn’t realise that.
I thought UEFA specified they would only be issued shortly before the matches, with the QR codes then becoming active on the day.

and are the e-tickets themselves named?
The invoice itself looks legit with what I got via the SSC UEFA allocation. I’ve not checked my own to see if it’s an exact match in terms of data/content.
In terms of e-tickets - nobody has them yet. They will be assigned to the name of the purchaser.
If they are transferrable tickets (doesn’t apply to SSC tix), then the act of transferring the tickets in the UEFA app will assign them to a new email address/person/name.

So do I read it correctly that all flags need to be certified as "fire safe"? if so WTF.
Think this is pretty standard for stadia now.
I’m more worried about them saying we’ve got to be in 75 mins before KO!!!

Didn’t receive mine yet.

Just wondering if anyone else on here was “lucky” enough to fork out a fortune for the handful of Cat. 1 Restricted View tickets for the opening game?
I’ve been buzzing since getting me a my two young lads in, they were part of the official SSC allocation, so the fact that we’re in is amazing, but but can’t help but wonder what it will be like, especially considering how much I’ve paid to UEFA as opposed to some dodgy tout?
It’ll be fine.
It’s not like being stuck behind a pillar at Parkhead.
For the Euros, they’re very strict on classifying any minimal hindrance as a restricted view. It can often be if you are close to a handrail / barrier - for example, front row of a stand or seats above an entrance where the have a railing so you can’t fall.

Yes they do, I have posted a few picture of jerseys I've bought from DHGate and given my feedback on them. I've never owned an official/replica of one I have bought from DHGate in order to totally scrutinize the material but from the ones I have, I would not even suspect they are not the real ones.
I kept hearing this, so bought a Nike (Barcelona) top from DHGate last season and bought the official kit from Nike at the same time to compare.
The differences were certainly noticeable to me, but I appreciate that it’s not a million miles off and also a big difference in price so a lot of folk will seemingly be happy with the DHGate efforts.

I like it! It's radical, and instantly goes into the love/hate debate.
Robbo lifting the Euro trophy in that in July please.
Hated it at first glance.
It’s now growing on me. Something different I guess. I’ll reserve judgement until I see the full kit and proper images. -

I travelled abroad quite a bit last year- managed to make all the Scotland games and many visits for work.
On numerous occasions I got locked out of my BT Email account, causing some problems checking in for flights etc.
I had always assumed it was the kids logging in to watch BT sports etc... But on about the eighth or ninth occasion I called BT when I got home.
Astonishingly I was told, and they have confirmed again, 'that BT Email is not designed to be used outside of the UK and we cannot guarantee it will work'. So, when we get out of the group and progress to thw final, I am slightly concerned my email won't work when needing to buy tix.
So, a long way to get to a daft question.... does anyone know if we change Email addresses with UEFA and SSC after we purchased tickets if it will affect getting them?
I doubt anyone here is qualified to answer unless they’ve had a similar scenario.
Personally, I would check your UEFA account to see if it permits email address to be changed.
If it does, just go ahead and create a hotmail/gmail account and update both your UEFA and SSC accounts to use that.

Was hoping it would be a wee bit more than 2400 allocation, daughter got no tickets for Euros & I Am going on my own, so I promised her Netherlands trip & possible she may not get that- we are going anyway but I wanted her to experience what its like with the tartan army at an away game all together - we may be forced to purchasing tickets in Dutch sections-not the same.
Also hope there are no members purchasing tickets for loyalty points but no goin - unless of course they want us to use & scan them 😉 - sorry thats probably not a good joke
I’d be shocked if it doesn’t drop to zero points mate so hopefully you and the wee yin will be fine for tix.

That’s before my day. How did they allocate tickets for away games if there was no points system, first come first served?
First come, first served - with a ballot, if oversubscribed.
I think sometimes they would implement differing policy on a game-by-game or tournament basis where they would decide the rules on an ad-hoc basis.

Haven’t read all the comments but can imagine plenty of complaints about the website.
I found it generally clunky and the seating map rendering on the screen wasn’t great.
The change of price categories wasn’t particularly user friendly.
Having worked that out, I then made the mistake of assigning 2 of our adult members to child seats (and vice versa). There’s obviously no validation in place on the system as it allowed this to happen. We still have the correct number of adult/child tickets but not sure if it will matter in anyway.

Good luck - I don’t think there’s any reasoning in this debate. 🤣
I think it’s a step too far as well.
For the most recent home game I got offered hospitality. First time ever at Hampden hospo.
I sold my ticket to someone on TAMB and managed to help someone out. If the same thing happened in future, I’d have to miss out on a point despite being at game, or miss out on the (twice) in a lifetime prawn sandwiches.

That’s the game I was after. Would suit us nicely for the days between Munich and Cologne, when we’re staying in Mainz. Would have possibly considered the €150 tickets at an absolute push but not a chance of €200/€400 ones.
Hopefully there’ll be cheaper tickets flying around over there and the good thing is that we’ll be in the position of being non-fussed about whether we go to that game or not - so no need to spend a fortune. France-Austria is another option the same night but seems to have had higher demand.
