Out of interest, how much are the two tournament passes? I haven't seen any mention of price.

My heart sank when you mentioned Gelsenkirchen. Not at you, but at UEFA. I thought, 'A sixth venue? How can UEFA make this so f*cking complicated?!'

Gelsenkirchen? FIrst I've heard of that. I thought it was Cologne, Frankfurt or Munich.

What are the odds for 1-0 with Lyndon Dykes to score? This is my gut instinct.

Home match on a Saturday please (fast running out of holiday this year what with the Euros and then the Nations League; that draw is now less than a month away).

So, back to the 2nd round (starting 6 days after Stuttgart/Hungary). How are you's gonna play it? Flying home and then back out? Already committing to staying over there?

Good point.

Just back from the Southampton match. Two goals and an assist for Fraser. He might have had two more goals had a couple of passes to him been slicker. Adams came on and scored too. EVERYTHING I have seen and heard about Fraser since he arrived at Saints has oozed positivity; whether that be his performances, his interviews or Russel Martin's interviews talking about him. I see a lot of behind the scenes snippets and interviews on the club app and he looks incredibly happy. A couple of weeks ago, I saw an interview with Fraser and he was absolutely beaming. He was all smiles today too. He's seems a happy bunny and not the least bit problematic.

I'm just off to Southampton-Walsall in the FA Cup. Team news... I assumed Adams would get a starting place - against Walsall - but he doesn't. Fraser gets a start. Adams is on the bench. Armstrong is also on the bench, but he starts most league games, so that's just case of being rested.

Back in the day, we had a pass of some sort for France 98 and we were all over the place. We saw a total of 8 matches in Paris, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes and Saint Etienne (twice) but match tickets were relatively cheap back then. Those days are long gone. For Euro 2024, it'll be Scotland-only matches for me.

ScotBeam, To my mind, an interrail trip would be something that would take in numerous countries. Not just crossing a border or two. Have you looked at one-way prices on the Deutsche Bahn website fo P.S. you can book EVERYTHING through Deutsche Bahn website or app - Even your Prague journey. I bought Zurich to Munich for 31 Euros... Munich to Cologne for 37 Euros... Cologne to Stuttgart for 64 Euros. I could have got that last one for half the price, but that train suited us best. So, as you can see, there are bargains to be had without waiting for 17th January. Right now, you can get Prague to Munich on 13th June for 48 Euros direct and 32 Euros indirect. And you can get Stuttgart to Zurich on 24th June for 26 Euros. I'm in agreement with what Toepoke and Runningtings said and just getting on with it. As for the Euro 2024 Pass. Is it worth waiting for? Unless you plan to be zipping all over Germany?

Nae problem Chief. Thanks for spotting it. I made a mistake, but you were on hand to put it right 👍

ScotBeamSquad, How many long distance train journeys are you planning? I'd just get on and book tickets now - Unless you plan to zip all over Germany; visiting umpteen different cities. If you have tickets for the 3 group matches, that's only 2 trains. Munich-Cologne and Cologne-Stuttgart.

You are absolutely correct. I f*cked up. I had it all written down correctly, but when I posted on here I accidently listed 1st 2nd and 3rd positions as 1st 2nd and 3rd of July That said, I was correct in saying the 2nd round doesn't start until the weekend AFTER Stuttgart/Hungary (there are no matches during 'the working week' following the Hungary match). From UEFA.com...

It'll be fine. We were in Mannheim for the Scotland B match about 20 years ago and had a good night. Population 300'000 so it's a fairly big city. Just do some homework on where's good to go.

The 2nd round STARTS the weekend after Stuttgart/Hungary. For us, I believe it would be one of these... 1 JULY - DORTMUND 2 JULY - BERLIN 3 JULY - COLOGNE, FRANKFURT or MUNICH After Stuttgart/Hungary, how are you's gonna play it?

This was on TV over Christmas. Felt quite emotional watching it; thinking ahead to June n that.

I heard the same.

Book the seat when it prompts you. But if you miss it (like I did on my 2nd train booking) you can still reserve your seat separately. Alternatively, don't bother and just head for the buffet car.

Valerie Leon ❤️❤️❤️ One of my all time favourites; has been ever since I saw her in the tent shop in Carry on Camping.

GOAL - Che Adams

GOAL 2 - Ryan Fraser

GOAL - Ryan Fraser "Beautiful" according to commentator on BBC Radio Solent.

You say that, but presumably those manufacturers paid the SFA more than anyone else at the time.

I woke up this morning to an email from BA informing me that they have cancelled the 06:45 Heathrow-Zurich flight on 13th June. My train from Zurich Airport to Munich is already bought and paid for. Happy-Fucking-Christmas to you too British Airways.
