Agree.No excuse for this nonsense.Really feel that the sfa quite often fail to push our fans case.Seem quite happy for this to be dragged out.It's a friendly for heavens sake.The Netherlands must know by now how many tickets they are going to give us.For f..ks it's time the sfa grew a pair and demanded them to let us know how many we are getting.Otherwise what is the point of the supporters club if they are not there to fight on our behalf.
£50 x 35,000 members = £1.75 million is the point for the SFA.
Unfortunately for the membership, that comes with no guarantees of satisfactory service.

Football's life and death, and rugby is a game for me, but I'm raging at that.
Earlier, I was very disappointed that we didn't pick up points during their yellow card. We always seem to lose 7 minimum. I can understand going for the 2nd scrum, as we were a man up and France were in danger of getting a 2nd yellow from consecutive penalties, but I wanted the safe 3pts just to stretch the lead before HT.
Absolutely this.
What is this obsession for gambling for 7 points when 3 points are being offered on a plate?
The time to gamble on 7 is in the last quarter of the game if you are behind.
Certainly not when you are in the first half with a free opportunity to add to your lead.

Viaplay? You mean OFTV?
TV and radio coverage of Scottish football is so blatantly funnelled towards the ugly sisters that it is no longer listenable or watchable.

Happy and peaceful New Year to all!!

Now would be a good time to send round the emails advertising the price of membership is going up.
More likely they'll send an e-mail charging us 3 quid per game for issuing new codes 'to cover operational costs'.

Brewery, piss-up, couldn't run and SFA in the same sentence?
Surely not?

Denny Laine RIP.

I wonder if the SFA rather than guaranteeing regulars a ticket to each game had considered say just 2 games and opening up to more people for a third game. Instead they’ve adopted an all or nothing approach which embeds the status quo. I’m fortunate in that I will probably pick up tickets somehow but the even the most ardent Tartan Army member must see that the Tartan Army needs a refresh.
The current system is administratively easy to manage for SSC staff, and is fair and transparent for all.
Please talk us through how your proposal above would work.

Had the pleasure of talking to him on a BA flight to Zurich in 1997.
A gentleman who took time to take an interest when he didn't need to.
Every respect for him.

Tavernier's misses have much to answer for.

Take a bow Steve Clarke, two qualifications and a WC play-off since being appointed in 2019 speaks volumes for your managerial skills.
Another qualification is a welcome return to the 70s, 80s and 90s model when we did so almost out of habit!!
Ooops - In one word - Glorious!!!

Can anyone recommend video/TV series/YouTube which explains the history of Israel creation and what follows.
I know a big ask
I'd recommend the book 'Palestinians and Israelis' by Michael Scott-Baumann which was published last year. It's a clear, concise and well balanced analysis of the background and history, in my view.

Leanne Crichton is generally OK.
However, she's insufferable when she's covering a Jags game involving Brian Graham.

I'd imagine information will only be forthcoming after loyalty points for the Spain and France games are taken into account.

what a bizarre few posts, do you think people could take it down a notch. been some unprovoked, unkind stuff on this board, ive noticed in recent weeks, months....
anyway...
Interesting to see the Barga event of this year, if not the first i've heard of it.
There is another city in Italy where they claim a random Scottish mercenary army "forgot" to go home following a war. Gurro in the Italian alps. They're all called McDonaltello and stuff like that 😆
Well said. Several posters on here would benefit traffic on the board by some reflection and winding their necks in a bit.
Re Barga, there's been a litany of families from that region that integrated and made major contributions to West of Scotland society since the back of the 19th century. The legal and estate agency areas are places to look for examples.
The Pordenone (Dolomites) and Sassuolo/Parma (Emilia Romagna) regions have also seen enclaves establish successfully in Scotland.

Hibs already out before half-time.
-
Viaplay probably asking for a refund now that Celtic are out.
After Sevco, what game do they cover now??

Well that was unexpected!
Why?
Given Kilmarnock's start to the season (no goals conceded) and Celtic looking like a rabble, this result was always on if Kilmarnock scored first.

Harry Kanes Bayern Munich win 0-4 against Werder Bremen, Kane scores and assists on league debut
Didn't know Bayern Munich had changed their name.
Oh wait.....................Paul Gascoigne's Lazio immediately springs to mind.

Sad to hear this news. I used to be a bit obsessed with The Last Waltz so this might rekindle that!
The Band (self titled album) is a treasure.
As any album that highlights 'drunkards dreams' should be.
RIP Robbie Robertson.

No offence ramy but you surely know the answer yo this question? If you were just trying to start a conversation then fair enough but there isn't a football fan that I'm aware of who doesn't know the qualifiers are played over two legs. It's been that way in Europe for as long as anyone can remember.
Maybe some older fans can answer this but has there ever been a European tournament played over one leg out with a final?
Sorry to contradict you VA.
In 2020/21 the Champions League qualifiers were single leg affairs due to the pandemic.
Celtic beat Reykjavik 6-0 and then lost to Ferencvaros 1-2, both at home before going to the Europa League.

Heard yesterday that former Celtic, Morton, St Johnstone and Thistle player (and in the latter case manager) passed away on Friday.
St Johnstone legend Shaun Rooney is his great-nephew.
Like Craig Brown, one of Scottish football's good guys.
RIP Benny.
