  1. Is there any chance that the polling results are heavily distorted from the referendum? A lot of "45'ers" signing up for sites like YouGov etc. Makes me doubt how accurate they will be.... Hope they're right. I'll be voting SNP

  4. Yeah I would recommend going over and you'll get a ticket nae bother (at face value). Always a few last minute drop outs. We got 2 in Poland in the first pub we went in to!

    http://www.football-rankings.info/2015/04/2018-fifa-world-cup-seeding-uefa-10000.html 2018 FIFA World Cup seeding (UEFA): 10000 simulations (3 April 2015) As usual with competition/pot sims, I used ClubElo's expected goals formula. Games up to and including 31 March 2015.Very important: this is based on the fixtures list from FIFA.com. If teams schedule other friendlies things will look different. Based on these 10000 simulations, these would be the pots. Teams are sorted by the average pot over the 10000 sims. There are new locked teams, besides Germany and Netherlands. Pot 1: Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Romania, England, Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Italy Pot 2: Slovakia, Czech Republic, Wales, Austria, Switzerland, France, Poland, Denmark, Iceland Pot 3: Scotland, Ukraine, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Northern Ireland, Sweden, Greece, Hungary, Israel Pot 4: Republic of Ireland, Slovenia, Albania, Turkey, Norway, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Finland, Armenia Pot 5: Estonia, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, FYR Macedonia, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Faroe Islands, Moldova Pot 6: Kazakhstan, Georgia, Malta, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, San Marino, Andorra Croatia replace Czech Republic in Pot 1. Poland and Iceland replace Ukraine and Israel in Pot 2. Northern Ireland replace Republic of Ireland in Pot 3. Best movers: 6 - Northern Ireland 5 - Wales 3 - Scotland, Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina Worst movers: -12 - Israel -4 - Czech Republic and Ukraine Pot 6 100.00% - Andorra 100.00% - San Marino 97.47% - Luxembourg 91.75% - Liechtenstein 89.31% - Malta 85.59% - Georgia 81.29% - Kazakhstan 35.99% - Moldova 16.54% - Faroe Islands 2.06% - Azerbaijan Pot 5 97.17% - Azerbaijan 96.77% - Cyprus 92.05% - FYR Macedonia 83.82% - Latvia 79.87% - Lithuania 76.77% - Belarus 74.08% - Faroe Islands 69.54% - Estonia 66.23% - Armenia 64.01% - Moldova 30.71% - Finland 18.71% - Kazakhstan 14.41% - Georgia 12.86% - Montenegro 10.69% - Malta 8.25% - Liechtenstein 2.53% - Luxembourg 0.80% - Bulgaria 0.72% - Norway 0.01% - Republic of Ireland Pot 4 100.00% - Turkey 99.28% - Norway 99.20% - Bulgaria 85.90% - Montenegro 69.29% - Finland 68.52% - Albania 57.98% - Slovenia 48.35% - Israel 48.20% - Republic of Ireland 33.77% - Armenia 30.46% - Estonia 26.57% - Hungary 23.23% - Belarus 21.54% - Northern Ireland 20.13% - Lithuania 16.18% - Latvia 12.56% - Serbia 9.38% - Faroe Islands 7.95% - FYR Macedonia 7.11% - Bosnia-Herzegovina 5.59% - Greece 4.76% - Sweden 3.23% - Cyprus 0.77% - Azerbaijan 0.04% - Scotland 0.01% - Denmark Pot 3 95.02% - Sweden 94.38% - Greece 73.96% - Ukraine 72.97% - Scotland 72.95% - Hungary 67.37% - Bosnia-Herzegovina 63.22% - Serbia 60.18% - Iceland 58.75% - Northern Ireland 51.74% - Republic of Ireland 46.27% - Denmark 40.98% - Slovenia 34.83% - Israel 34.45% - Poland 31.48% - Albania 1.24% - Montenegro 0.21% - Austria Pot 2 99.53% - France 97.41% - Switzerland 96.13% - Austria 73.22% - Wales 66.80% - Czech Republic 65.55% - Poland 63.76% - Slovakia 54.39% - Italy 53.72% - Denmark 39.82% - Iceland 33.60% - Croatia 26.99% - Scotland 26.04% - Ukraine 25.52% - Bosnia-Herzegovina 24.22% - Serbia 19.71% - Northern Ireland 16.82% - Israel 11.30% - Spain 2.07% - Portugal 1.58% - England 1.04% - Slovenia 0.48% - Hungary 0.22% - Sweden 0.05% - Republic of Ireland 0.03% - Greece Pot 1 100.00% - Germany 100.00% - Belgium 100.00% - Netherlands 100.00% - Romania 98.42% - England 97.93% - Portugal 88.70% - Spain 66.40% - Croatia 45.61% - Italy 36.24% - Slovakia 33.20% - Czech Republic 26.78% - Wales 3.66% - Austria 2.59% - Switzerland 0.47% - France
  6. According to the guy I spoke to, it's around section 315,316 and 317. Not had my actual section confirmed though. To pick up tickets on the day at their office.
  7. Also 1,500 Scotland fans behind the opposite goal in the Abbey travel section 2nd tier, above the Aviva sign where the Irish singing section are located ^^
  8. One of my favourite ever kits. Suave.
  9. Can ye drink (legally) on the streets in Dublin? Finding a carry oot shop and a square sounds appealing but failing that - pubs will dae

    Rankings

    Didn't realise Ireland were ranked so low. 66th currently. Also got teams like Australia down there who regularly make it to World Cups and gave Germany a wee fright in a friendly. (2-2) Anything against Germany at home would be massive for our ranking (big ask, of course)
  11. If you've got an iPhone, screenshot from the app to save your battery. Ryanair app is murder for chewing up your battery. All you need to do is point this thing at the RS reader ^^
  12. He is from Kilwinning.... They learn the words to GSTQ before they wear nappies
  13. Noticed the train station nearby on maps, seems like a decent area to explore from. Staying a few days after the game tae Swimming? In the Irish Sea? That'll be cauld!! Depends how drunk I get.. Handy info
  14. No good enough Would maybe give Armstrong a call though
  15. Gordon Whittaker Martin Hanley Robertson Anya Brown Morrison Gauld Maloney Naismith Scotland 7 Gibraltar 0
  16. Staying at Barnacles hostel in Temple bar the night of the game - then the Royal Marine Hotel at Dun Laoghaire for another 2 nights. May as well see a bit of Dublin! Flying the morning of the game from Glasgow
  17. Ayrshire is further than 10 mins away. Glasgow isn't all that bad in comparison to some of the loyalist towns in darkest Ayrshire
  18. Best idea I've heard. Although they should build the new parliament in somewhere like Stoke, or Hull. Maybe then we'll see the wealth distributed a bit more fairly to those areas.
  19. Tbf, we should beat N.Ireland and not far to travel for their fans. Looking at the ranking tables, NI are 43rd so a win would be quite worthwhile.
  20. Beith v Kilwinning should be a good yin. Will be a massive crowd at Medda v Talbot

    Hoolies

    Sounds like a normal night in that McDonalds tbf
