He’s got a talent for bullying defenders which is something I like in a striker and something we don’t really have in anyone other than Paterson.
He’d be down the pecking order for me right now but as Naismith is close to being done and Rhodes/Martin/Fletcher probably are finished at international level for various reasons I’d get him on board and get him capped.

Another pic of the new away top.
I’m guessing it’ll be out this month.

I'm on 12 points, which puts me just inside the top 3000. The Ullevaal holds 28000. We normally get the whole end when we play Norway, which is around about 3000 if I remember correctly from 2005 and 2009. The stadium in Belgrade is 55000 I think. Do we not get 10%? I think your group and I will be ok for either Norway or Serbia, if we beat Israel of course.
We’ll be fine if it’s Belgrade, Oslo will be unlikely as they’ve announced the allocation and it’s under 1400.

Findlay and Brophy have been impressive for Killie tonight.

Just scored!
Haha, just noticed that after I posted. Is that his first goal since his winner against Cyprus?

Burke started for Alaves tonight.

I will be trying but not on sale yet (Norway v Serbia is sold out)
Allocation will be fine if it is Serbia in my opinion
Any idea what their plans are for selling tickets, i.e. are they doing the same as us and making tickets available once their semi final is over?
Of our group we’re a mixture of 12 and 13 pointers so aren’t too optimistic of getting Scotland end tickets(if we get past Israel). -
Due to the allocation we’ve been given being quite poor for this is anyone trying to get tickets from Norwegian or Serbian FA for the home end?
-
I’ll be surprised if they’re back for long.
Dunnottar are worth checking out, Scottish based and a hell of a lot more trustworthy.They've only released one Scotland top so far(90 away)but it’s a belter and they have more planned before playoffs.

He’s still only 24, I’m still gonna hold on to the hope his career gets fully back on track and he’s back playing at the top of Portuguese football. He had outstanding technical ability as a teenager, you don’t lose that. Just look at John fleck now. He was in league 1 with Coventry at 24 now he’s fighting for European Football with Sheffield.
Hopefully we’ll be saying the same with with Gauld in a few years.
I’m not questioning his ability at all, it’s just worth considering that while we’re desperate for all these players to come good and start racking up the caps there will be players(and I’m not necessarily saying he is one)who think it’s more important to have a nice lifestyle and to a degree be out of the public eye.
-
Regarding Gauld, it’s not inconceivable that he doesn’t have a massive desire to become an international player. As hard as that is for us as fans to grasp I get the impression he’s happy with his lifestyle ie decent wage, good weather etc and as a result is happy to play away for average teams in Portugal.
-
Nowhere near good enough.
We’re desperate but fortunately will never be that desperate.
-
Anyone know what’s up with Liam Palmer? He’s been missing from the Sheff Wed team for a few weeks.

I would exercise a note of caution for anyone depending on this charter guys.
It will be dependent on numbers and may not take off atall (no pun meant) if past experience is anything to go by.
I was booked on a day trip to Kaunus for the game in 2003. Around a month or so before the game I received a letter from the tour company with a refund advising that due to insufficient numbers it was not financially viable for them to go ahead.
Of course the passenger list could have been added to in that month but it would have been worse to wait until the last minute and least I was able to make alternative travel plans.
Ramsey World Travel originally had three charters for the game in Moldova - one flight each from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
Again due to numbers two were cancelled and we were all put on a single flight from Glasgow.
So I would say don't put all your eggs in one basket and research a back up plan just in case - which could of course prove more expensive.
I booked this for 3 of us a few weeks back and at that point he said it was looking close to being confirmed due to take up, impressive considering it was a few weeks shy of pay day.

Herein starts the rush for home end tickets for Oslo/Belgrade.

Hearts hopeful both Naismith & Souttar can play this weekend.
That’s a big positive.
I’d forgotten about Souttar. -

Has anyone bought any of the fakes of the new top from DHgate yet? If so how close do they look to the real thing?
Aye I got the home top.
It’s the real deal as far as I’m concerned.

The arms. Ah'm strugglin' wae the arms 😳
And is that not a goalie's jersey?
Don’t think so, the guy that posted it said there were other numbered ones pictured next to it.

Rumours going about that this is our new away strip.
-
Gutted McGinn and McTominay look likely to miss out in March but the obvious choice is retain Jack, put Christie in at no 10 and bring Fraser in at right wing.
Bigger concern to me is Marshall being dropped, he’s not world class but he’s streets ahead of McGillivray and McLaughlin.

To be honest I've never been that excited, but a lot of people on here seem to have a lot of faith in him.
Being on the bench for a low level Belgium team isn't much better than being on the bench for Aberdeen though.
He’d scored 3 or 4 and was a regular before the last international break and looked decent in the couple of games I watched. Took a knock with the U21’s and has been on the bench for his club for the two games since.

We haven't had a midfielder capable of dominating and dictating a match since Barry Ferguson
Which is a massive part of our problem. I can grudgingly accept us being unable to dictate play against the likes of Belgium but when it happens against Israel or Kazakstan it’s shameful.
Gilmour is one who longer term could fulfil a role similar.

Got £45 return from Stansted to Oslo on match day and to return next day.
If its Serbia, then I battle it out with the rest of you on my phone in Hampden (I presume all the KO's are the same time?) .
Announced today that the other semi is a 1700 ko so we’ll know our potential final opponents before we start our semi.
Scottish players in action 19/20

Watched a lot of McGinn when he was at St Mirren and probably would’ve been called up had he not been in a team constantly fighting off relegation particularly with our lack of options there.
He’s steady defensively but offers much more than O Donnell going forward, not a massive upgrade but an upgrade nonetheless.
