BBC and Sky both had the attendances at 18,500 from what I seen, did think it a bit strange

Going on at the moment, still knocking down the old main stand. New pitch with undersoil heating now in. Will hold about 20k once done. As I say I dont think it'll be ready for June, talk is 80% done as once the new main stand and railway ends are up they then need to tidy the remaining bit that are there now.

In some cases any Championship players will be finished on the 2nd May, apart from any involved in play offs. Champions league final is the 6th, night before ROI v England. EPL finishes on the 23rd May. Would think we'll need one game to keep us ticking over. Still talk over here in NI that we are playing NI at Windsor park to re open it but not sure it'll be finished for then.

Also seen on twitter that if you dont have a UK address it forces you to collect.

That was an estimated time, took about 12 mins each time. All I could see were single seats left in those sections

Logged in under my SSC log in and would only let me buy one ticket and I need 4. Surely it's not sold out that quickly?

I think the will still finish top 2 for sure. If they start taking their chances they will still run a way with it, in the 3 games so far they have had 77 shots on goal with 26 of them on target and only scored 3 goals. From our point you don't want them to click as the damage to an extent is all ready done.

ha ha meant to say Poland

I think we'll get 10%, at least. ROI seem to struggle to fill the Aviva , granted that may change now but they only hand 18,500 on Saturday

3 homes wins next month brings it back into our favour, even a Georgia/Poland draw would do. Dont think that would bring Georgia back into it as they dont seem capable of winning away from home, they will take points somewhere at home from us, ROI and Germany.

Had thought that very thing last night about Lahm, sure I heard it mentioned on Sky somewhere the Germans are unhappy with him for retiring. They still have Schweinsteiger to come back as well though. Still think they will do enough but if they failed to win in Georgia in March then it really will be any 2 from 4.

8 away games in a row we've scored now

Georgia will take points of teams at home, they always do. Drew with France at home in the last campaign. Took Spain to score 2 very late goals to win there as well.

The Attendance at the Aviva on Saturday was only 18,500. Think the wikki page for the group is wrong as it has our attendance as 48,000.

Totally agree its in the SFA best interests, but what can they do? They cant sell a highlights package that isnt theirs to sell. Its STV that need to get their fingers out. STV will be the ones paying ITV money to show England games, like they have to do to show things like Corrie and Emmerdale.

Ha ha, trust me I'm not SFA. Go google it. SFA had no input into tv rights this time, all part of this week of football nonsense from UEFA

Itv bought all the rights to the England games from UEFA, as they could afford to having lost champions league from next year. Would have to ask STV why they choose to show England games because as far as I remember that'll cost them money. Would have thought STV could have got some kind of highlights deal.

TV rights nothing to do with the SFA, all controlled by UEFA now. Sold as a a champions league type package. Which was bought by Sky and ITV. BBC didn't bother their arse.

Would go similar to Germany. Bring Darren Fletcher in for Steven Fletcher and push Naismith up front and Bannan for Maloney.

Georgia will take points of teams, especially at home. Horrible team to try and break down. Cant really compare last nights game to Tuesday. Poland for a start wont sit in as much against us as they did to the Germans. Will be a tottally different game. Was a few times that Poland left themselves exposed at the back and we very lucky. Have said to a few folk this weekend but do think we have a team thats much more capable away from home now than we have ever had. Confident of a draw at least.

I went through security at Dublin on Saturday as I have been a few times. Not an issue told them about the kilt pin, all friendly enough Went through the scanner and suprisingly didnt beep.

Unreal result but cant read to much into it. Hummels and Boetang to come back in at the back you would imagine

I new there was one recently but couldn't remember which, forgot (thankfully ) about Wales away. I'd be suprised if any games are on normal telly, do Sky not have everything bought up already?

4 of the 6 away qualifiers for Euro 2008 were on Sky, think the only ones that weren't were Italy and Georgia away. Sky have all the internationals exept England, ITV have all their games. All games on Sky over the weekend with matrch choice like they do for Champions League

Wenger last year was praising him highly and was linked with Arsenal before. Would be shocked though if it happened as when did Arsenal sign a player from the lower leagues like that.
