    My 2 cents worth is the home top isn't too bad! People were moaning we'd get a boring, off the shelf template and we actually get a bespoke design and people hate it 😂. They missed a trick not using the Portland Timbers home top design for our home top. I'm not a fan of the yellow parts though. The away one I want to like but the purple trim ruins it for me. If the trim had been dark navy it would have been an absolute belter imo.

    Well at least they can’t be accused of using a boring template 🤣🤣 I’ll need to see this in the flesh first but I’ll no doubt end up buying it lol
  3. Yeah that's why me and my Dad joined up and all. I'd been to every home game for those qualifiers and missed out on the playoff. One of my mates, who'd not been to a single qualifier that campaign, went to straight to Anniesland Safeway after his night out at 3am to queue and got a ticket. Raging is an understatement. Fast forward a few years and I had to listen to the same mate moan about how hard it was to get a ticket due to the size of the SSC 😂
  4. Aye anyone outside the OF banging in that many goals is worthy of a start imo. I really want to see him start one of the Holland or NI games, preferably the NI game as that's the kind of opposition we should be going out and attacking.
  5. Bugger that lol! Did that at the Greenock Safeway for the Holland play off in 2003 and missed out. The staff at the time clearly sold the few tickets they had to themselves and/or to their mates. Remember some poor sod got sent out at 9am after us being queued there for hours to tell us "sorry but there were never any tickets for sale here". Aye right! 🤣🤣
  6. For me changing up how we award points is a non-starter, you're basically punishing the loyalty and efforts of some rather than reward it. Unfortunately attending away games is expensive and that will never change. It's not right that a fan who goes to Georgia/Lichtenstein/Latvia etc potentially misses out on a glamour trip to Spain/Germany/Italy etc simply because they're better off. IMO the main problem is the 5 match packages with the SFA wanting to get their grubby little hands on our cash for the next full year. They know doing it game by game increases the risk of lower ticket demand later on if we have a poor NL campaign. They don't care about empty seats if they've already been paid for. I want to be back in the North Stand again after missing out due to not buying the package last time so I've bought it this time. I wasn't planning on going to the NI game but will now seeing as Nov to June is a long time to wait for A Scotland game
  7. I just got in 5 mins ago and got 2 seats in the North Stand so Christ knows what’s going on there
  8. Jesus wept considering how much money they get from us and the fact they know how many members will be looking for tickets you’d think they’d invest in a decent ticket website. I was in early and the options wouldnt update from coming soon so had to refresh and lose my place 😡
  9. Was it not also originally his idea of playing Tierney as a left centre back when we were all crying out for him to be moved to right back where Strachan was playing him?
  10. £35 a ticket against "league A" opposition isn't too bad imo. My only gripe is not making the single match tickets available sooner. I'm not fussed about the N.I game but will end up buying a ticket so we can get back in the North Stand this time around. Last time I couldn't make the England friendly and me and my mate decided to dingy the Georgia game (which turned out to be a God send 😄) so had to wait for the single matches and got stuck up the back of the South stand. Wasn't too bad and the view was cracking but we had to be a bit better behaved than usual due to the families with young kids around us 🤣
  11. I'd swap Italy for Holland but agree with the rest

    Think the footy headlines article that leaked the Germany kit mentioned March as its release so I’d imagine we’ll also see our own kit released around that time too
  13. Swap Clark for Kelly and this is how I’d line it up too. As for the result I’d love to see us give them a bit of a doing as the icing on the cake of this campaign.
  14. There isn’t a snowballs chance in hell McCrorie starts tonight and I wouldn’t want him to either given he’s had 0 mins of real game time this season. Also it would be a helluva slap in the face to both Clark and Kelly. I’d go with Clark personally
  15. Draw please! Then we can go to Georgia and exorcise some old demons then beat Norway who’ll be without Haaland as Man City won’t want him risking injury in meaningless games! That is the least we deserve after the injustices of Thursday night
  16. Fuck me I actually laughed out loud when that link opened! What’s the fucking point? Seriously, can you imagine the shit storm if, for example, that was England that had that goal chopped off? They’d have every media outlet in the country rightly crying corruption! I’m fucking fuming!
  17. Wow. I’m proud of our lads tonight coz they weathered a helluva storm for a long time but we were robbed by a corrupt ref again. If McTominay’s goal stands their arses were collapsing and we’re getting at least a draw. I’ll take great enjoyment in watching them get horsed at the Euro’s next year coz they’re chronic
  18. Ally McCoist? The staunch, Royalist ex-Ranger was sooking on the English teat again on Talk Sport this morning?! No chance 😜🤣
  19. Well thank christ I went to bed right after the game! Some belter over-reactions gents 🤣 I get it though, nothing worse than losing to that lot. My thoughts are: Gunn was excellent, we've never really seen him under real pressure like last night so to see him pull off a number of great saves was comforting. Even Spain and Norway didn't really bother him as much as England did. Most of the players just didn't turn up. It's disappointing especially as last night was a good opportunity to shut up a few people down south but hey ho, at least we got a performance like that out the way in a friendly rather than in Spain or Georgia. Viaplay/whoever can continue to take my money, fuck me listening to those presenters and pundits was harder than watching the match! Last night was meant to be a celebration of 150 years of the SFA and it was all about England! McCoist was hard to stomach but I agree with the poster above that Souness was clearly just raging at the Scotland performance. He did go a little bit overboard with reaction to England's performance but they did play well and Bellingham was excellent. England played well last night but on the flip side we were shite, so one bright side is they now think they're world beaters again. Joe Cole gave us a preview of every English pundit from now until the Euros so the pressure on these lads will be immense as always and inevitably they'll shit the bed in their usual fashion next summer.
  20. I agree about the fit, I went with my usual medium size from there but would've probably been better off with a small. Might still actually do that lol. I stopped short of trying on the genuine one in JD as I'm certain I'd have noticed differences and done something stupid like buying it 🤣
  21. I understand the caution most people are having in the build up but personally I've been buzzing for this game since the final whistles went last Saturday afternoon! This current group of players are a completely different beast to teams of the past and I'm more than confident they won't let us down tonight. In all honesty I don't think I've been looking forward to a Scotland game this much solely for footballing reasons since Craig Brown's era. For years the excitement was mostly based around meeting up with friends for a mighty piss up before and after the game, the game itself was just a bonus if we won! Now I'm genuinely excited to watch this team play! I'm going for 2-0 tonight
  22. Swap Dykes for Adams and I'd be happy with that line up. I doubt Clarke will go that way as it would be very harsh dropping Hickey as you say. It'd be harsh dropping Porteous too but I don't think he starts ahead of McKenna when fit and on form. I also think Christie will start How I think he'll go: Gunn Hendry McKenna Tierney Hickey Robertson McTominay McGregor Christie McGinn Adams
  23. I was in JD Sports today picking up an away shirt for holiday and had a look at the 150th shirt. Got to say there is next to no difference in the quality from the genuine one to the one I got here a few weeks ago for £14: https://www.soccer03.com/h-product-detail.html?goods_id=611159
