  1. Only got round to booking last week but managed to get return flights to Venice for less than £30 a head! Anyone else arriving Saturday morning & heading down to Ljubljana during the afternoon? Flying back the Tuesday so an overnight on the Monday in Venice. Anyone ever been? Places to go/avoid etc?

    Friendlies

    You don't have to be minted to get to all the away games. Working part-time & in my final year at university. 9 points. Easy days.
  3. We moved to 11's when i moved into Primary 7. So must have been 11. The league wasn't competitive but there was a league cup which was competitive. We beat our local rivals in the final 1-0 with our goal being a freekick from about 40 yards cos there keeper couldnt reach the bar
  4. Heading through to Edinburgh for the football tomorrow down at Meadowbank. First time my side has played in the capital for over 20 years. Where is best to drink pre match in Edinburgh? We usually just go to first pub we see after getting off train but is there anywhere particularly good or anywhere we should avoid?
  5. It can be difficult in terms of ticket prices but in terms of TV, nobody should be priced out of watching their national team! I'm now at the age & lucky enough to be in a position to get along to all of the games home & away. Growing up though I loved watching the away games on tv. How can youngsters get excited about the team nowadays if they can't watch them? Sad state of affairs.
  6. Spoke to a few lads after the game who due to issues with busses never made the game. Some proper horror stories, must be gutting travelling all that distance & missing the game (even though we were dire!). I just hope lessons are learned in the future & nothing like this happens again. A lot of negativity flying around so worth giving those that organised busses successfully a lot of credit & others that managed to resolve issues that happened with their busses. Lyonhibs especially, thank you!
  7. Turns out there is in fact 7 of us & we are flying from Gatwick, not Standsted afterall ! We're looking at getting the 11:25 train to Bratislava on the Monday
  8. The vast majority of folk that travel to away games will go to almost if not all the home games. I wouldn't miss either. Ps. Anyone know where in Bratislava will be showing the Lithuania game on Saturday?
  9. Alright,

    I see it looks like that seat that became available is now away but if anything comes up, i am looking for just the 1 seat if possible.

    Appreciate the busses are all full but just if anything opens up, would really appreciate if you could let me know!

    Cheers

  10. Looking for just 1 seat if any become available ! Cheers
  11. We've got a lad needing a seat as well on a bus!
  12. Drop is always heaving on a Saturday so get there early for a decent spot!
  13. Ticket system is a joke, i canny get a ticket to a big game when i dont bother my @rse for any others etc Or so that used to be the case before i got kicked off the page
  14. 6 of us flying on the Sunday morning from Stanstead then getting train to Bratislava early afternoon on the Monday, can't wait !!
  15. Hugo's passion as well. 8 vodkas for €6 !!
  16. We were curious as to why the crowd didn't seem to be moving, thankfully for us we were at the back & managed to leave the gates at left of away end. Truly shocking if it was only 2 of those turnstiles to get out, they were tiny!!
  17. I'm sorry but getting a pair of baws flashed at you before kick off in a football ground is not acceptable. 'Banter' or even if he was just 'enjoying himself' ! Do that in Scotland & you can get lifted, simple as that!
  18. Nothing worse than a flight being cancelled! Hope everyone who was supposed to be on that flight gets something sorted. It's the airlines responsibility to get you there! All the best folks !
  19. Just make sure you get your money changed into Maltese Euros!
  20. I'm delighted at the news. He has been poor for Scotland in recent years yet when fit would constantly be picked. This now means Strachan will have no choice but to change a midfield that has failed us. Might seem harsh but the team needs change. Annoyed though that someone who has been handed the captains armband has decided to walk away. Not something a player like Kenny Miller etc would do! Now he was a player that really did give everything!
  21. Is there a thread somewhere that i've missed? Whats the details of the boat party ? Our group may be interested but not seen this mentioned elsewhere or is it same as one in May?
  22. Edinburgh - Amsterdam - Malta - Saturday morning! Malta - Amsterdame - Edinburgh - Sometime on the Tuesday! Staying in the Beach Garden Hotel in St Julians
  23. It was always going to be a thistle victory, got you to beat us at 15/8! Clyde have no interest in the competition now & tonight would have cost us money. Our young lads have only just been signed a week or so ago & been told they won't be ready for the first team in next 2 years. Bit harsh on BF to throw them in at deep end against a good thistle side but it'll be a learning curve, I suppose! Our support was divided in how we should have approached the game but I reckon it was made clear Clyde's attitude to competition when BF wasn't in dugout. Instead he was outside holding a training session with the first team. Not going to lie I would have liked to see us beat thistle but I can see the reasons for playing our youths. Thistle looked a really good side the lad up front that scored 3 in particular. Won't be surprised to see a few of the lads pushing for your first team, certainly have the ability. Fair play! Edited to ask... Do you normally get a decent amount of supporters turning up to the U20's matches or was tonight a one off?
  24. Accies will finish bottom that's a fact. Killie didn't look great yesterday, thought Clyde were the better side but I understand it's the first game that most killie players have played together. They're bound to improve but can definitely see them finish in the bottom 3 or 4 this season!
