Took a punt with stubhub for the France v Austria game. For bye the fact it’s in my base city and will pass a night it’ll be a good indicator as to whether I use them if we qualify for the next round

We’ve had a Muslim FM and have a Hindu PM but under no circumstances should a member of the Free Church of Scotland lead a Scottish party according to some

A quick scroll through social media it looks as though Kate won’t get the gig because of her Christian beliefs as some look likely to rebel while others have threatened to leave the party if she becomes FM. Many of whom endorsed useless
Maybe they should ask Humzas mates down at the mosque what they think about those same religious reasons that are being used to beat Kate Forbes potential campaign with
What a horrible backward country we live in. Bigotry and prejudice is still alive and kicking

With all that's left, I'm probably okay with Swinney. He has more steel about him than he did 20 years ago.
And much more baggage
If by steel you mean caving into pressure and u-turning on major decisions then he has that in abundance. If it was up to him ABBA would have been called CDDC

The price of adding a hold bag to your booking has rocketed so I’ll be travelling light with just a packet of durex and some chewing gum

Has he played the race card yet?
Maybe he’s learned his lesson after the last time during the nursery debacle when it back fired on him after it turned out the owners were members of the BAME community 😂😂😂

Anyone got some tips for day trips to go and see big German castles? We've got a day free and considering this. We're based round Dortmund and would need either an organised tour or easy public transport.
There’s a palace in Nordkirchen and Linz Castle in Krefeld which both aren’t a million miles from Dortmund
No castle but there’s the Aachen tripoint is probably a couple of hours away by train from Dortmund. It’s got a maze and everything

I might as well see about getting my flight home booked then eh

It's not just whataboutery though, it's an observation of the enormous amount of hypocrisy we put up with daily.
The fact that Sunak is still in power after a plethora of scandals which dwarfs anything happening north of the border shows how broken our shambles of a system is. The Tories voted against the very creation of Scottish & Welsh parliaments...there might come a day when it will be only Westminster we can look at.
It’s absolutely whataboutery. The discussion is about the SNP led Scottish government and not about Sunak or Cameron but the age old SNP war cry of aye but Westminster still continues to rear its brass neck

Unhinged, unwanted and unelected
A failure in every ministerial position he’s held. A transport minister who was on the road without proper insurance
Two weeks ago he vowed to make Scotland Tory free then only at the weekend he was sending begging letters to the linesman. I would call him an absolute fanny but fannys are useful
He's no great loss
I hope Big Alex is smiling wryly to himself tonight when he has a dram or two

That accolade should be reserved for Call Me Dave on his luxury jet mystery tour...Securing arm sales? Some natural resources? Trying to make China/Russia jealous? Just photo ops?...
But look at Westminster…A typical response to any form of criticism aimed at the SNP
Where would the SNP and its followers be without a bit of whataboutery eh

Goodbye, good riddance and get to fuck.
He should never darken Holyrood's dooe ever again.
Absolutely
The moment he stepped off that plane from Qatar (which happens to be where Hamas leaders are based) after meeting the Iranians MI5 should have been all over him
He's a threat to national security

I now have an official and unofficially sourced Home jersey. Here are the side my side comparisons. My expensive one is XXL....and fits....my XXXL cheap doesn't fit me. That is immediately apparent, as is the shade of yellow on the collar and the quality of the patch. Yyou can see a few variations, they appear about the same weight, and the materials feel the same with the exception of the webbed portion at the lower back half because the official one is see through, but to the eye they look the same. The other thing you will notice is the brightness of the patterned motif - you can see the unofficial one is not as bright, and the shape of the yellow piece under the arm pits is different. Now I will say if I was wearing my unofficial one, the only thing that would give it away is the patch I firmly believe everything else would go unnoticed .
When you say the XXXL cheapo doesn’t fit do you mean it’s too big or too small?
That’s always my concern buying stuff online

Going by by-elections, he’s not Won a game all season, got a few thumping as well
It’s relegation form. His jackets on a shoogley.
The training camp in Doha, Qatar hasn’t had the effect he hoped it would
Or maybe it has considering those big fees to Iran and Hamas ☕️ 🐸

Cunts In Airports and On Planes
•The priority boarding passengers that dilly dally and have to be called to board while the rest of us are occasionally held back until they have. If you’re not there at the time of priority boarding then that’s hard lines
•When priority and non priority are boarded simultaneously. I’d be kicking up fuck if I’d paid a premium
•when the departure board tells you that your gate will be announced at 08:35 and at 08:41 you’re still waiting to be told what gate your flight is boarding from
•Folk that don’t queue to board their flight despite the departure board telling them to do so and just straggle their way to the gate so they could finish their pint or as I’ve heard in the booth behind me in the bar once “another quick round” in a guttural-nasal Glaswegian accent
•People who walking up the aisle with their backpacks on their backs turning and walloping people sat in the aisle seats. Usually it’s the same dafties with their neck pillows. You’re on a 2 and a bit hour flight to Alicante mate no 14 hours from Heathrow to Santiago
•Entitled arseholes who don’t want to sit in their allocated seats so they can sit next to their travel partners. If you’re that desperate to sit beside your companion then pay the premium to do so. If you can’t sit by yourself for a couple of hours then you shouldn’t be allowed out of the house in all honesty
•The “I’ve never flew Ryanair” mob on social media who think it gives them some moral superiority. It’s akin to Tory bastards making light of foodbanks etc.
-the phalacy that they charge to use the toilets
-“I’m never flying Ryanair again”
6 months later…
“who you flying with?”
”aw Ryanair”
who else are you going to fly with that will get you to some obscure city or town for £10,£15,£20?
•Kids on planes. However exceptional circumstances do apply.
-children crying are exempt. That’s what they do, especially babies. No issue here whatsoever. One could argue why a child that young is travelling but not everyone is going on holiday-parents who are more interested in the ‘bevvy cart’ than they are looking after their children and preventing them from slamming the tray table constantly, spoilt little brats over about the age of 6 or so screeching and causing a scene because they can’t get their way do not fall under the exemption category
•That one fanny who always has to stand in the aisle during his flight so’s to make himself seen and heard. Often in some form of Celtic uniform. Sit doon ya fanny, it’s not an away bus. Naibdy gies a fuck who you are
•This phalacy that we (UK passport holders) have to wait ‘ages’ or ‘forever’ to get through passport control at our destination if arriving from the UK. We’ve always had queue to show our passports. I’ve been through umpteen EU passport controls since Brexit and only once waited more than 10 minutes or so to get through. The exception being Prague where they put everyone in the same queue. After a while they opened the all passports desks and quelle surprise I was stamped and through within 5 minutes while the EU queue was tailed all the way back
•Edinburgh airport. The worst airport in the world bar fucking none

Its a shame other people aren’t as mindful and as self aware as yourself Sir.

Good luck with Essen. A group of us stayed there for the 2-1 game and it was a bit pish.
Thought similar about dortmund

Cat 1 seats, free bar, food and access 3 hours before. Offset by a lack of atmosphere i guess but a guaranteed ticket which is what we were wanting. Was around £1,000 ppn with current ex rate. The Cat 1 tickets on the resale were around £500 anyhow and like hens teeth.
I bought before Scotland had qualified as was refundable if they didn't quality so cost aside didn't really seem to be any downside and i was sure i would be just short of points to get through the TASC (only have 10).
I think kilt and Scotland top will be ok, its a neutral friendly area - hopefully?!?!
A grand a skull with free bar and food for 3 hours is a bargain in comparison for €900 for a match ticket alone that was being sold in the ballots
Saltire ghillie shirt and kilt should suffice

Do you concede that they are the same club now?

I’m jetting in from Dusseldorf the night before the game now. My digs for that night are right next to the Hbf and wondered if there’s any non ticketed Scotland events on?

What’s the kick off for the old firm final? I kind last time the Scottish cup final got shifted till half 5 for the FA cup. I can’t imaging Humza Yousafs private army will be keen on that idea
3rd party website for tickets
in Euro 2024

The problem here though is aren’t these tickets only able to transferred once?
