Mash Tun the best bet close to ground. Plenty good boozers doon "The Shore" also but a wee 20 min walk to ground. Cameo, Carriers, Constitution and of course Edinburghs no 1 alternative tourist attraction = The Port o Leith !
Albion Bar is no more. Now sadly a grocers !
The Mash Tun on Easter Rd has an excellent range of real ales and craft beers. Plus the food is top notch.
Of course Qatar suits us commercially and in most if not every case our choice of friendlies suits us financially ahead of the footballing side.
Japan 2009
Brazil 2011
USA 2012
England 2014
However a win v Qatar and Ireland will likely get us pot 2. A more decent team such as a Romania or Austria would risk defeat given its about fitness & game time and kill any pot 2 chance.
Think folk need to calm down. We absolutely need a friendly b4 Rep game and we are better winning it than losing it. Qatar have beaten Algeria and Slovenia recently so it will be worthwhile. If we beat Qatar and Rep it's possible we will be in pot 2.
Had we picked a glamour game say against France and lost that would made pot 2 almost impossible regardless of Rep game.
Plenty utter shite on this board. Not 1 person slagged off Morrison when he was outstanding in Zagreb whilst mulgrew broon and a few others wur on the beach. Get a grip.
I wouldn't mind if the texts and emails were around the team, news and chat but it appears to be marketing stuff in the main. 9 times out of 10 disappointing and deleted.

Great stuff fae the laddie. The kinda phrase you won't hear from Kris Commons.
It's not appealing at all but it's fair enough in terms of preparation for Gib and Ireland in June. Happy to trust wee Gords friendly selection so long as the June one is tasty.
