    Giving both games miss. They can get tae at those prices.

    Next time I'll be at Hampden will be for AC/DC in June - similar price but far better value :guitar:

    yup, the only way they'll ever learn is if we vote with our feet. Fans yes, suckers no.

    It's a while since I've been, but I loved it.Obviously the new Acropolis museum. The Archaeologcal museum was fabulous, and largely empty. Monastiraki was fun and safe. The coast around Vouilagmeni can offer unexpected seaside and good food. Lycabettus hill for the views. Actually, I loved all of Athens, went twice in three months.

    Dennis Law, Any Older Ta Recall Him Playing

    My first Scotland game. Hampden, 1966, England the opposition. I was the wee boy at the front of what is now the North Stand, held up against the barrier by my dad and the thousands behind us. When Law rose to head our first goal to re-kindle our hopes, it seemed that he soared- to my 11 year old eyes he was miles above the turf- no one could head a ball like that could they ( and my young Saturdays were spent watching a certain Allan McGraw more or less perfect the art )? What a header. What a player!

    As for the elephant...Dennis Bergkamp was named after him. Sort of.

    Was in town earlier and walked past there. Would have been a horrendous thing to witness and of course get caught up in. Dreqdful for anyone injured and of course any pour soul amongst the dead. What's the feckin chances of going into town to do some shopping and then being clipped on the pavement by a bin lorry? Makes you take a step back from trivial worries........

    As an aside and completely unrelated to the awfulness of what has happened it would be nice for the reporting to make no mention of the Clutha and shoe-horn in a Jim Murphy connection (political allegiances out the window) - it's lazy and unnecessary. It would also be good if "witnesses" amd rent a quotes would refrain from making reference to the indomitable Glaswegain spirit - it's approaching Liverpudlian heights. Decent people react decently - it's not ingrained into a city dweller's psyche.........

    Speaking as a Glaswegian, I couldn't agree more.

    Lincoln City put their manager on gardening leave recently, can't remember why. First time id ever seen it in football.

    AVB

    'He departs eight months and 40 games into a £4.5m-a-year contract and is now technically on gardening leave,'

    Holloway

    QPR have placed manager Ian Holloway on 'gardening leave' as speculation mounts over the possibility of him taking over at Coca-Cola Championship rivals Leicester.
