I think we’ve gone soft after the start we’ve had. The prospect of a home game v Norway just needing a win to top the group ahead of Spain and qualify for the Euros is something we would’ve bitten your hand off for when we were the first European team eliminated, or when we were getting beat in Georgia, Lithuania and Macedonia.

Am I right in saying there’s no details of pick up yet?

Which is fair enough. But Anderson played for Scotland youth teams for years, accepted a call-up to the senior squad with some fanfare, turned up for training before apparently making some excuse and disappearing again, seemingly letting the press know that he “didn’t enjoy it”. That’s the bit that has put people off him a bit.

Still looking to punt my two French end tickets, open to offers. Would also swap two French for one Scotland if that helps?

Aye, at the start of the week.

Good luck 👍

Looks like the person no longer needs them, so I have two €79 home end tickets available. In the interests of incentivising the sale I’m prepared to drop the price a wee bit from face value. Anyone interested, let me know.

16 countries for the Euros and 32 for the WC was perfectly adequate.

He’ll be in the England u21 squad on Friday, I (almost) guarantee it.

And close this thread.

14 points will put you in the top 3000-4000 and it’s difficult to imagine a distribution of minimum 7000 tickets that wouldn’t get you one, no matter how many the SFA cream off. I’m on 14 and I’m assuming I’ll be ok. I did apply for tickets for the opening game, the semis and the final - a long shot to get them but you never know!

Norway currently 17/5 to beat Spain in Oslo. Add that to the probability of either Cyprus v Norway or Spain v Scotland going our way and the chances of qualifying by next Sunday are 88% (56% chance of Norway and Spain winning next week, only 22% chance of Norway then beating Spain = 12.32%) Been practising my statistics.

The England senior squad?

Wednesday

Will do.

Actually, seems it may be me that’s wrong. I was sure it was five years residency but seems it’s currently permanently resident for three of the last five years. He went to Vancouver in July 2021, so maybe he’d be eligible by next summer?

One is gone. The other ones I’m holding for someone. €79 was the only bracket I could get.

He can’t play for Canada until after 2026 WC as I understand it. 2030 would be his first chance, by which time he’d be 34, and that’s assuming Canada qualified.

I wonder if we might see him or Doak in the next squad, in Anderson’s place?

I just used my own name and address.

That might get a wee bit dull eventually, I’m happy enough with two nearby countries hosting together. Five, with four of them only contributing one stadium each and the other with six or eight or whatever it is, that’s ludicrous and smacks of tokenism.

I’ve got three home end tickets I don’t need now. I have promised two to someone if he wants them but I definitely have one available if anyone is interested. Afraid they’re the expensive ones.

Just need to worry about my flight getting into Brussels on time on the Tuesday afternoon now 😬

Ya beauty, just got three at 12! 😉🥳

Dans le nombre du petit homme 😡
