    My understanding of his argument is that he had 11 points and attended all home games bar one (probably Poland game). There are others who bought tickets for all games but didn't attend them all who are on 12 points. They got first stab at Euro tickets while those on 11 had to sweat it out.

    If this new system for home games means tickets are non transferable and it is actually recording if the ticket is used or not then the points totals of quite a few are going to start to drop....

    As is evident above, this is largely irrelevant for a lot of people who don't travel to away games and they don't seem to understand the issue.

    I doubt the system at Hampden is smart enough to record whether a ticket is actually used or not. I haven’t seen anything official stating this is going to be the case either. 

    And what happens if the scanners go down and stewards need to check our phones manually to let us in?

    apologies if this has been answered already, but couldn't see.. what if one of your friends/family can't go on the day, will it still let you give their ticket to another family/friend?  notwithstanding it'll be "non transferable" in theory, can it be done?  

    I think the only option would be to let the person you give the ticket to your login details for the ticket app.

    Buy 3 tickets for Euros using the UEFA website - circa 45 seconds

    Buy 1 season ticket on SFA website - An hour and a quarter and still nowhere

    There was no chance they were gonna spend enough money to get someone on board who's vaguely competent and then handle the transition competently themselves, none whatsoever

    UEFA’s website budget is just a wee bit bigger than the SFA’s I think.

    it's not sold out there's loads left. There's 38k members in SSC and more seats in the stadium than that

    Some sections look pretty full already so maybe it was just a section that was sold out? Either that or the new ticket system is complete bollocks.

    Point was couldn't log into my account to see other details - wasn't necessarily wanting to join the ticket queue

    Probably not the best time to try and log in when thousands are trying to buy tickets.

    Seems to Microsoft minutes unfortunately:  14 mins to go… 10 mins to go… 6 mins to go… 13 mins to go…. WTF?

    Mine was pretty accurate until I got down to 2 minutes then it jumped back up to 4. Process was easy enough once I was in. Just need to wait for the inevitable balls up now once the ticket app is launched.

    I think he's probably going to be included in our euros squad. Good player who would  improve our squad and has goals in him which is usually something we lack. 

    He would need to declare for us first. Is he interested? I actually hope not because I can’t be bothered with the inevitable meltdown on here. 😂

    Anybody know how Craig Gordon is getting on?

    For him to make the squad he will have to displace Clark in the Hearts team and probably with at least 10 games of the season to go to allow Clarke to make sure he is back to somewhere near his pre injury self.

    I didn’t see the game but he played the full 90 minutes against Spartans. Back on the bench for Hearts next 2 league games but at least he’s back and fit. 

    Unless Clark has some bad performances or picks up an injury I can’t see Gordon forcing him out of the team.

    I do understand how you feel about this but most of us just want us to win games which hopefully means feel good factors & months of having something to be excited about( tournament football🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🩷) 

     I think lads that are born elsewhere to Scottish parents can grow up feeling Scottish if their parents want them to be but when it comes to grandparents they aren't Scottish & never will be but it doesn't mean they aren't proud to represent us. There's plenty of good examples of this & there will be plenty more in the future. Every country does it & when they play for that nation in a major tournament in front of a worldwide audience the people watching won't be thinking about how Scottish, English or German etc etc a particular player is.

      In the future it's not inconceivable we might have 5 or 6 coloured guys starting for us( hopefully at least half of them both in Scotland)  then older people that know anything about our history or even just watched braveheart or outlander might find it a little funny but it's just the reality of the world we now live in, multiculturalism will/has even landed in Scotland 🩷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😊 

    Coloured? Awrite grandad.

    And all the others are Scottish 🤔 

    Double Standards me thinks, when Ché Adams scored that goal against Denmark to secure that 2-0 Win, don’t tell me you’s didn’t celebrate?? 
    It’s an argument that won’t concern any of of us! 
    Only S.Clarke, H.Barnes and J.Carver can decide / resolve 

    But the lad is a Player and if he pulls on the Dark Blue for Scotland then that’s good enough for me and many others 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

     

    The big difference is Barnes doesn’t want to play for Scotland (as far as we know) and has played for England at senior level. 

    If he changes his mind and ends up playing for us I will support him the same way as I support all of our players but until that happens he does not play for Scotland and shouldn’t be regarded as a Scotland player.

    Half the board want him called up though.

    Until he switches his allegiance to Scotland I’m not interested in his injury status. If others are then fair enough but it seems odd to me to include him in a thread about Scotland players when he doesn’t play for Scotland.

    Wasn’t sure where to post but this seemed the most likely thread 

    Taken from Newcastle World ➡️ 

     

     

    Newcastle United summer signing Harvey Barnes looks to be closing in on a return to action after providing a teasing update on social media. 
    Barnes, who joined from Leicester City in a deal worth £38million, has been sidelined since sustaining a toe injury during the 8-0 win at Sheffield United in September.
    The winger was initially due to return in December but suffered a setback. United feared surgery might be required if the pain persisted but Barnes' latest update has offered hope that a comeback is just around the corner. 
    Uploading to Instagram on Thursday morning, Barnes posted a photo from the club's Benton training ground of him wearing his boots with a full battery emoji, suggesting a return is close.

    Isn’t this a thread about injured Scottish players?

    10/1, stuck a wee wager on. Hopefully covers my 195 euro ticket!

    Considering how bad Germany have been recently those odds are tremendous. OK so they could improve significantly between now and June but if they don’t they could easily be there for the taking. I have a few quid on it myself so here’s hoping.

    I am assuming it is because the match ticket isn't active in the app until you get to the ground and the stewards activate it. The pass presumably giving you a QR code for use on trains.

    The twice I have been to Germany v Scotland in Dorrmund we had very effective pieces of paper 

    Greta Thunberg would not be impressed.

    Personally wouldn't have him in the squad. I'd have Porteous, Hendry, Souttar, Cooper and McKenna all ahead of him.

    If Souttar stays fit long enough to make the squad in June I’ll eat my own Y-fronts.

    We do not actually have a physical ticket or even the code by then...What would you show, email, receipt?  I reckon it will be open house for anyone..ticket or not in the zones...

    I’m fairly sure there will be an app to download or something. Or something added to the UEFA app maybe?

    It's fine us adults sorted it.

    What about the OP? Are you suggesting he just goes to UEFA and they sit two different category tickets together?

    Or could we not all just behave like adults and help each other out?

    You are certainly not acting like an adult at the moment.
