Bought at about the same time and was number 1036

Lost all our tickets for both games at Hampden. Went to Euro 92, Euro 96, World Cup 98, nearly 100 away games over the last 30 years, and I’ll be sitting in the house watching this on the telly. Absolutely fucking gutted.

Most places were €5 a beer. We stumbled across the occassional place which was €4.50, but everywhere seemed to be fairly consistent in price.

We're on that flight. Back to Rimini for beers before the 0550 train to Milan.

No season tickets for us. We might want to take the kids to one or two of the games (not all of them, the wee man is still at primary school and cant really do midweek), but unless I want to have my 10 year old sitting in a completely different part of the stadium to me, we have to give the season tickets a miss and just buy game by game. Pity.

The lassie is sitting with her legs wide open at 90 degrees. If you think that's an acceptable way to sell a football top, then you're a complete zoomer.

There's five of us going for that flight home from Milan too. We looked at the 0333 train, but decided on the 0550 train which still gets there in plenty of time. Maybe time to grab a couple of hours kip before going for the train.

By sheer coincidence, he's on this week's Hampden Roar podcast talking about how that was one of the best goals he's ever scored. I was a great hit.

I cant remember the last time I watched a really engaging English game, the excitement level has definitely drifted off recently. I much prefer watching foreign football to Everton v Bournemouth or whatever. The Real Betis-Real Madrid game last night was totally engaging, a superb game. Milan winning with an injury time goal away to Udinese a few weeks ago was tremendous end to end stuff. Napoli's late winner away to Juve at the end of last season to keep them in the title hunt had me out of my chair cheering. Dortmund are a great attacking team to watch. Despite PSG's dominance, Ligue Un has been brilliant in recent years (although not so much this season) with Monaco & Marseille coming close to winning it. The Boca-River Plate final a few weeks ago was one of the best games I've seen in ages. I just cant get the same level of excitement for the typical English game - too many teams either win at a canter, or are dull & defensive beyond belief.

5 of us booked Easyjet Edinburgh-Milan £125 Fri-Mon, then train from Milan-Rimini is about £55 return. Sorted. Happy days

Hi Davy - could we reserve 5 x seats on one of the buses please ? Have just sent you £62.50 by paypal. Thanks

Yeah, the Rose & Crown was our base the last time and was a great laugh for a few days. One of barmaids was Scottish, if I remember rightly, and she was absolutely made up that her pub had been "chosen" !

Bear in mind Russia is BIG. No idea if they ever play in Vladivostok, but if they do, that’s seven days on a train from Moscow 😳

Stayed in Rimini the last time. Great fun

So which set of fans are you going to lumber with the three mile walk from Waverley to Murrayfield ?

Last year the winners of Group B played the winners of Group C in the semis. Anyone know if it’s the same this year ? Can’t find the semi draw anywhere

Yeah, you get some crackers - there's a boy every morning standing on the platform at my local train station, lets out a puff of smoke that you could hide a stream train in, and he them immediately walks away and stands somewhere else on the platform, its so bad. Sod all the people that happened to be standing next to him. What a complete walloper.

Thought about it. Alex Taylor was superb, but McCarthy was a better attacking midfielder and Neil was a better defensive midfielder. And I'll never have a best-ever Accies team without Wurzel in it.

Loving my mate's work - he's come across this place online which does unlimited food & drink for €15 a head for any two hours between midday and 5pm. http://www.trofeagrill.eu/en That's matchday afternoon taken care of :-)

I thought he came across quite well, to be fair.

We changed our nationality to "other" on the ordering process and it worked - the first credit card we tried rejected it, but a second one went through ok. We may or may not get in, but I figured that we have a better chance of getting by going through the front door with VIP tickets, rather than through a turnstyle in the Hungarian end with umpteen stewards and police in the way.

SFA sent out a tweet earlier today saying they were delighted to announce they now had 10,000 members who had renewed. Seems an incredible fall from the 35,000 members they had last campaign ?

Yeah, three of us are in the VIP Gold 1 section for £34 each. We emailed them too and that was the link they sent us.

Piss poor away allocation, when the stadium hold 24,000 and their last friendly v Russia had a crowd of 9,000.
