  1. same here Agreed! Croatia was brilliant and top of my list also
  2. Because they have spent their hard earned cash with every intention of going to the game... They deserve the point a lot more than the arm chair supporter who "harvested"
  3. Gordon Sheer snapped his shinpad in the opening minutes IIRC
  4. my knowledge of Glasgow tubes is limited but the following could work depending on times?? 15 min walk to Rutherglen station then its 2 stops on the tube to Central then the short walk to Queen Street?
  5. smoking hot... but can she play?
  6. Agreed.. usually its around 10 days before our first game
  7. maybe best contacting your hotel lads (should you have no luck with the minibus company)... they should be able to book something for you?
  8. Fletcher has an abundance of ability but unfortunately isn't showing enough of it for Scotland for me. Its not entirely his fault though as he is playing up front on his own with players behind him who haven't been giving him enough service. For the Poland game we need 11 boys who are hungry to play for the shirt. Naismith has to be brought back in, D Fletcher, McArthur, Anya & Griffiths should start as well. There is no denying Strachan picks his squad based on familiarity which has proved (for the most part) successful but I think we are starting to look stale of late with the same 13-14 players being picked under the same formation every game. Freshening things up against Poland might just be the kick up the backside we've all been waiting for....
  9. used many different airline flight apps before and never had any real problems. If your ever unsure you can still print off passes / go to check-in desk anyway. Ukrainian Airlines gave us the wrong seats on our mobile boarding passes en route to Tbilisi earlier month but a quick check on the flight manifest and we were actually in the next row. on the whole I'd recommend using the apps
  10. Sunday night in Iron Horse then Campus was brilliant, as were the Germans! Highlight of the night for me was 4 x Germans on the Karaoke belting out "who let the dogs out"
  11. To see fellow fans shouting at the players to f*ck off and calling them a disgrace when they came over at full time to applaud us wasn't a great sight. Some of our fans seem to think because they have paid money to travel they are entitled to see Scotland win comfortably and the atmosphere to be great etc. Those regular to away games know this is far from the case. We pay our money because we want to watch our national team live and not know what is going to happen next, sometimes you get your moneys worth.. sometimes you don't. The game only lasts 90mins and I am sure most had a great trip despite the result. Anyone who thinks because they had to do a few hours overtime or some take unpaid leave to see the game means they somehow deserve to see Scotland win needs a shake.
  12. haha aye I can imagine! 8 of us staying in Glasgow after the Poland game and flying direct to Faro on the Friday for a week, also staying in Albufeira. Will probably bump into you over the weekend
  13. met you in that bar after the game (the 2 lads from Aberdeen who were at the next table) and also seen you at the back of the North Stand on Monday where you said you'd not long arrived in Glasgow. You the guy who was wearing the fred perry half zip? You boys going to Portugal next month too?
  14. good to hear Jock! it was obvious everyone who is going would get a ticket but you always feel better once your ticket has been confirmed. See you out there
  15. there is a Weatherspoons in the centre of Luton and a few other pubs (Yates's and The Crown come to mind as 2 I have been in before) next to the shopping centre. Luton isnt the greatest of places but its an improvement on staying in the airport for 9 hours!
  16. At this rate I hope Ukranian Airlines stock plenty alcohol! Lufthansa are forever running out of beer on their flights!
  17. it gets into Gatwick @ 1010 and were hand luggage only so plenty time to get to the departure gate.
  18. 2 of us on this route also. 0830 flight from Aberdeen to Gatwick first though
  19. Cheers for the additional info. I will keep an eye on this thread and the fixture list too. Hopefully a few TA are making the journey
  20. Neither of us have been in before so I guess its a novelty thing to check out the bar thats probably most mentioned on here.. Suggestions welcome as to where you would recommend for a Sunday night in Glasgow?? And of course if yo are in the area your more than welcome to join us.
  21. Aye we are on that flight too! We will be the 2 guys in the kilts if you fancy a few beers before we fly We are staying close to central station which isn't far from the Iron Horse either. Neither of us have been in the Iron Horse before so will swing by to see what like then make a night of it in the city centre. Yourself and any fellow TA welcome to join us for a Sunday evening Glasgow p1ss up!!
  22. struggling to find information on this game (obviously not looking hard enough) but definitely interested in going along. I was at the Duisburg game in Germany as well and was a great day (apart from their fans nicking our flag!!) what time is the kick off? I am guessing you can just PATG? something tells me this won't be as advanced as the Duisburg game where we purchased our tickets online and printed them off at home. The tickets also entitled us to free travel to and from the game.
  23. Shinnie has been outstanding this season for Aberdeen and deserves his place in the squad but Strachan is a fan of familiarity and experience so he will likely go with Forsyth. I would gladly be proved wrong by WGS though!!
