For me, football shouldn't be at the Olympics at all. Events at the Olympics should be the pinnacle of the sport. Although given the recent increased profile of women's football at the moment from the world cup, I'm sure there will be plenty of political pressure with some token appointments from Scotland to make up Team GB.

The nights are fair drawing in

He hasn't been playing regularly for a while and Hamburg have been rotten. Confirmed that they are staying in 2 Bundesliga for another season so hopefully he gets out during the transfer window.

They’re back https://stv.tv/news/politics/1437632-scotland-s-bottle-return-scheme-deposit-to-be-set-at-20p/

Nice and straight forward to get some tickets just now. We've got a decent allocation and I don't imagine it'll be a sell out for Belgium so even more may become available.

Have you looked into Now TV? You can get a Day Pass for Sky Sports if you only want to watch the odd game now and then. Although, like others have already said, BT's coverage of Scottish football is far superior to Sky's.

What's Jurgen Klinsmann up to these days?

Kazakhstan 0 - 2 Scotland San Marino 0 - 4 Scotland

2100 kick off local time. Seems quite late. Hopefully the players get out there sharp to adjust to the +6 hours difference

Bundesliga 2 is still a decent standard, especially with a team like Hamburg who'll be back in the top tier next season. 2nd lowest goals conceded as a team in the league at the moment too. https://www.google.com/search?q=bundesliga+2+table&rlz=1C1GCEA_enGB802GB802&oq=bundesliga+2+table&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.3494j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#sie=lg;/g/11f40zrg6p;2;/m/09fj8w;st;fp;1;;

Geez, now saying it's suicide. Brutal

100% agree with this. We should be looking at these fixtures to top up the goal difference and get confidence high, not experimenting

I tuned in for Still Game prematurely at watched some "news" programme that was awful, and I'm generally not one for the cringe. Basically had news topics that were discussed by actors pretending to be punters. Although they forgot to get Billy on this time. Those running it have failed to see the obvious issue that it doesn't really matter what programming they produce, the BBC has become a toxic brand in Scotland.

Agree it would be great to co-host the tournament but would be interesting to see how the bid is structured and the branding so the member associations are all clearly represented and not an England plus bolt-ons to make up the numbers. Interestingly the 2026 bid went under a United brand which has Canada and Mexico giving 3 each and the US 17. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_2026_FIFA_World_Cup_bid

Exactly. Surely a flaw in the system. Generally, I'd imagine people vote parties instead of individual candidates. An excuse for politicians to milk the gravy train for as long as they can. The most incompetent government in recent history and the opposition are nowhere to be seen. Labour should be miles ahead in the polls.

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro at work and it's superb and would probably look this way if I was replacing a personal laptop now. I think the newer ones would make a bit of a dent in the wallet but all depends on what you need it for and willing to spend I guess.

The Yoonstream will be pumping out the "look how bad Brexit has been, Independence will be worse" as Project Fear II. This is how they'll try and win over those most resistant to any form of change. Although I must say that I love the idea of Holyrood running circles around Westminster after seeing how incompetent they really are...

Quite annoying to split the season / individual tickets. Had to get another season and now knowingly have a few spare tickets to shift. A considerably better experience than the Nations League tickets though

£25 for North stand or £105 for all 5 games seems reasonable.

Went to see Glass (sequel to Unbreakable and Split) at the weekend. James McAvoy superb again but I'd say you need to be pretty familiar with the both movies before watching.

TBC - Metallica are playing here a few days after the match but as you say, should hopefully know by the 120 day deadline

I haven't had one in ages but I'm now intrigued

Did anyone else think this thread was about these?

I've often wondered if that was because of the Queen herself as a person seems popular. People don't feel the same way about Charles so when he takes over I think support for the monarchy will plummet.

Was it a proper old school shell suit in a suitably offensive high visibility colour? The uniform of choice in Edinburgh for the less desirable types seems to be the grey hoodie / cotton joggies combo. So vanilla.
