It was effing freezing!
😄 True, and I only went outside from the couch to the bin last night.
Ordeals like yesterday certainly justify awarding SSC points for home games.

I'm sure you are right, they looked to having a great time acting like plastic English fans, booing celtic players despite there likely being celtic fans from northern Ireland in their end.
And in their team, eg. the matchwinner.

I had a bad feeling when this game was announced. Horrible opponent to play, always a horrible atmosphere and probably horrible weather. Turns out the last part wasn't as bad, but still I'm not too bothered I decided to save the 30 quid.

Quelled surprise. I actually wish they would fuck off over there if they hate their own 'country' that much. Bootlicking, subservient wanks

Best team won, played out their skins.

Now I'm hoping we don't set up a team for damage limitation, but playing Germany in Munich in the opening game of their own tournament is going to be one of the toughest challenges our players will face in their careers.

I have 2 x Wales or Poland v France in Dortmund for swap for 2 x Scotland v Swiss or Hungary if anyone interested. Got them in Uefa lottery.
Doubt you'll find many takers for that swap on here!

Did they not get home advantage in the playoff semi finals due to their higher ranking? Just like we did against Israel and Ukraine?
Yes.
Home team in the semi finals is decided on performance (Nations League for the Euros / best group runners up in the World Cup qualifiers).
For the play off finals it's luck of the draw. Appreciate the fixture congestion but I think the finals should either be two legged or played at a neutral venue.
The Welsh have been jammy buggers twice and I think they'll get through to Germany.

Yellow doesn’t work at all. Pish decision.
and the blue shorts with the yellow even worse. Should be white shorts.
Can’t decide if the blue is wrong or it just looks that way cos of the yellow.A shame we won’t look so good at the big party……. But I won’t care how they look if they play well.
If all the yellow parts were white it would look fine.

A lot of criticism being rightfully directed at the defending late in the game, but the space left at the back for the opener was criminal. Can't switch off like that the Euros or we'll be home before the postcards yet again.

P3 W0 D0 L3 For 2 Against 11
Add in the qualifier against Spain - another top side - and it's:
P4 W0 D0 L4 For 2 Against 13
And Harry Maguire is our joint top scorer.

would have much preferred Souttar over Hendry.
This didn't age well.

Maybe not one of the worst teams in international football.
On tonight's showing we need all the shooting practice possible.

just need a better final ball & someone who can finish.
A major shortcoming at this level unfortunately.

The first Dutch shot 🫤
If it means we're using up our bad luck for the year now, I'll take it 👍

I’m in Cologne for a couple of days either side of our game against Switzerland and fancy going to Dortmund to watch Turkey vs Greece (potentially) so hoping some tickets have been held back for play off winners.
Jeez didn't realise that was a potential clash. Would be wild! I'm just arriving in Dusseldorf that night, I imagine the atmosphere will be spilling over there 😱

Just because there's a little bit of blue in their St George's Cross
TBF it will be much harder to paint on a beer belly.

Well neither Bale nor Ramsay and they're nearly in Germany...

Thought you were talking about the £125 price tag, then I saw this...

I like both forums but they are a very different experience. Posting on the TAMB is like going out for a pint with a couple of mates, whereas posting on Pie and Bovril is like taking the karaoke mic at the end of a stag night.

This poll isn't clear why he's unpopular (it might be because people think he's a creep or it might be something else) but unpopular he is:
I can't remember Sturgeon or pre-trial Salmond ever polling so poorly. It's alarming too that Anas Sarwar - a man with the charisma of a wardrobe - is marginally ahead of him in preferences for next FM.
I can remember when Iain Gray was bookies favourite to be the next First Minister. Long way to go til the next election.

To be honest the DNA matching is very useful in terms of family history stuff, if you know what you are doing( I don't, my wife does). In terms of ethnicity then its a the results are consistently being refined and give a decent indication.
I'd second this. My brother took the test (saved me a job 😁) and while the results were pretty much as expected (68% Scottish Highlands, 27% Irish with a little bit of English and Scandinavian mixed in (our mum's grandpas were from Killarney in Ireland and Cornwall)), the links they gave to people you may be related to that have also done the test were surprising.
A couple of close relatives were mentioned to corroborate the findings, but also distant cousins I'd never heard of, with common names to the family that the people compiling the test would never have known.
