Awesome - thanks a million DiscoDave!!!

Aye, that's the track right enough. So someone in DUBTA has it at least!

Hoping someone can help. I had an mp3 of James McFadden's wonder goal in Paris - it consisted of loads of commentaries (including the infamous Peter Martin one), interviews and summaries playing over the "Wild Mountain Thyme" tune. It was listed as being by an artist called Ball X. It has disappeared off of my old laptop and I'd really like to get it back as it was the one mp3 guaranteed to put a smile on my face, regardless of how I was feeling! Does anyone have a copy that they can send to me?

HBETA are once again running two buses through to Glasgow for the Poland game on October 8th. The first bus leaves the Heb in Market Street at 2pm and will be heading to the Renfrew Ferry before going on to Hampden. Cost for that bus is £13, which includes a Ferry ticket. The second bus leaves the Heb at 5pm and will be going straight to Hampden (we'll have a toilet so will not be stopping anywhere on the way through). Cost for that one is £10. Both buses will be leaving from outside Pandora's in Victoria Road after the game, departing at approximately 10:30pm and getting back to Edinburgh about midnight (hopefully) If you would like to travel with us, drop an email to hebridesbarta@gmail.com, letting me know which bus you'd like to be on and how many seats you need. Cheers Lindsey (HBETA Bus Convenor)

Hi Tam I'm the bus convenor of HBETA - we're running two buses, one leaving at 2pm and going to the Ferry and another leaving at 5 and going straight to Hampden. Both buses will leave from Pandoras after the game. If you're interested in seats, drop me an email at hebridesbarta@gmail.com - I can also add you to our mailing list for future games if you'd like. Cheers Lindsey

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for somewhere near Hampden that coaches can stop and wait to pick people up after games? HBETA have just been turned down (yet again) for coach park passes and our normal pick up point of Pandoras is quite a trek after the game, especially when the game is on a Monday night... Any thoughts?

Going to see Book of Mormon and Les Miserables in New York in August. Have seen Les Mis in London, but the guy playing Valjean on Broadway at the moment has an awesome voice so really, really looking forward to seeing it again. Got lucky, 'cos we booked tickets then discovered we would be at his last Saturday night show before he gives up the role I saw Avenue Q off Broadway a few years back and it was absolutely superb so if you've still got some free time, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Have been over for a few games (including the night Messi scored his first senior goal against Albacete ) and have always just bought tickets direct from the club website. You can view available seats, including the pitch view from the seat, and keep an eye on it over time as the Seient Lliure (free seat) scheme means that season ticket holders who can't make a game will make their seats available so you often get really good seats coming up for sale just a few weeks before the game (we got halfway line, front of second tier for a game against Valencia a few years back) Tickets aren't cheap, especially if you don't want to be behind the goals or up in the gods, but it's totally worth it to see those amazing players play. One thing to watch out for - when you go to pick up your tickets, make sure you take your passport with you as they will not hand over tickets without it, as we found out once after standing in a queue for an hour and a half...oh, and go early to get your tickets because the queues get crazy.

Yep, got mine too - cheers fella!

Had a very good pre-theatre steak at the Capital Grille in the Time Life building. Would also recommend L'Ecole in SoHo - it's the restaurant of the International Culinary School (formerly the French Culinary School) so you get a three course lunch for $32 that will cost you at least twice that in a year's time when the students graduate. And go to Juniors in Grand Central Terminal or just off Times Square for cheesecake

Have to agree - pre/post match in Poland with Ted was superb but, apart from his slot, the Barrowlands thing was a bit of a let down. Couldn't make out a word the Tartan Specials were singing... Hope Ted does something on his own in Ireland, otherwise I may give it a miss.

PM sent with address details etc. Cheers

Scotland v Argentina at Hampden on 28th March 1990. We won 1-0 courtesy of a Stewart McKimmie screamer. Yes, really...

Brilliant pre and post match party at WTF yesterday. Thanks to AI for organising - we, and the three Ted Christopher virgins we took with us, had a ball.

Just received an email from the SSC about this: European Qualifier Gibraltar v Scotland Sunday 11 October 2015The Scottish FA has received correspondence from the Gibraltar FA regarding speculation surrounding the European Qualifeier between Gibraltar and Scotland on Sunday 11 October 2015. Due to ongoing issues at Estadio do Algarve in Portugal, Faro, the Gibraltar FA is working on potential alternative venues for some of their European Qualifying matches, should they decide to move away from their current venue. The Gibraltar FA has advised us that a decision on this matter will be made before the end of the year. We will update the Scotland Supporters Club members on the outcome of this decision at the earliest opportunity and advise all supporters to avoid making travel arrangements until the venue for the match has been confirmed. Thanks, as ever, for your support. Scotland Supporters Club

Latest tweet from the SFA says tickets available to all SSC members from 12 noon today - over 350 tickets left. Time for zero pointers to stop complaining about not being able to get points?
