I first saw the story on the ITN news last night, they showed the minister on VT but didn't even mention her name!

I'd settle for a swimsuit photoshoot as compen. Thought Malcolm had made the Herald for a minute 😄

Tends to be a thing in the neighbouring villages rather than the town itself. When I was a kid in Kilmaurs I used to watch them pass and be quite impressed with the sound and colour of it, oblivious to the history behind the marches. I also used to wonder why the kids I recognised on the march were amongst the thickest at the school.

Cheers! I wasted half my dinner break trying to work it out from Wikipedia. 12 of the 16 League B teams go into the playoffs. And as Switzerland aren't eligible it's possible to finish bottom of the group and reach the playoffs. Bizarre system!

Ian Rush would agree with this.

Serbia, Slovakia and Israel in our Euro 25 qualifying group.

Definitely. Really surprised me how many have sold for an inferior package to last time. I bought some individual tickets yesterday but there wasn't that great a seat selection left at all.

The second was always my favourite... Amazing construction for the time...

I've been saying for a while (probably on this thread already) but for me the simple fix is to punish all handball offences with an indirect free kick, with the exception of when it's a clearly deliberate act (eg. Suarez v Ghana). When a team are getting a penalty for the merest flick off a defender's arm, the sanction is far heavier than it should be. (Also under current VAR stipulations it would mean most handballs wouldn't be pulled up by the video refs).

Just the four trebles in a row wasn't it?

Thought the north east was free of this cultural phenomenon?

The old Scottish Labour tactic, depending where they were campaigning SNP stood for "Soon No Pope" or "Soon No Protestants".

If only Gary O'Connor had a World Cup winners medal.

Fair doos, my old man used to take me to the stand back then 😀

Been going to Hampden since the 70s and don't remember a Scotland game ever being PATG.

We had a good second penalty shout for the trip on Donnelly. And what looked like a professional foul by Diamonte on Polworth went unpunished. Anyway it's good to be giving the Old Firm a challenge after some of the games last season. McInnes has needed time but is now putting his stamp on the team.

TBF two MPs have been murdered doing their jobs in recent years.

Great points, 100% agree 👍

Yep checked back through emails, last time round in 2022, the five match package went on sale 30th November, all matches went on individual sale to the SSC members two weeks later, then in the January for general sale.

Wow, not even the Spain game! 😮

I think there was yep. Last time with there being four actual qualifiers plus a friendly against England, there was still quite a bit of interest in getting the package despite the lack of a discount.

There wasn't any discount buying the package last time either. Although it was a fiver a game cheaper than now.

Yeah we could get Berwick back.

Why do they bother taking the Calcutta Cup out of the cabinet? 😁

Member tickets weren't supposed to be transferable previously either. Hopefully they're not going down the UEFA route of tying tickets to a specific phone.
