[Euro 2024 Germany 5 city Itinerary aka German Interrailing for older gits !]

🖖👍🏻🥃sounds great. 
feeling spoiled for choice atm . Know where I wanted to be based for an initial two weeks myself. Knowing the dates and venues  times for the first three is good. Summer solstice somewhere over there will be interesting. 
went from me myself and I to at least another couple, most likely another 5 already. The Germany are wanting a festival of football at a time of shite. 
IMO football is the planet’s most popular team sport because of so many reasons. 
my dreams and delusions have been my most faithful company. Supporting the Scotland National football team is the oldest relationship I have. 
Hope those of us living in peace continue 

[Euro 2024 Draw]

Munich, Koln , Stuttgart! Nice.

not been to Munich and Stuttgart before. Really like cologne. An ancient city and the Rhine and Dom are impressive. 
mates misses and myself both called drawing Germany for the opening game. Reckon they know we’re a not nasty bunch in general. Called Hungary too , my pal was getting spooked but we didn’t get Italy as I thought. 
do think we’re odds on to progress.

England have to beat Scotland for the benefits of Great Britain.

In the woman’s football the Lionesses of England are needing to thrash Scotland for team GB and hope the Dutch ladies don’t beat the Belgium women.

Deadly facists have to claim their beliefs. Why do they insist on denying their being? 
Socialism is meant to be an evil for these facists. I am not a socialist but have societal beliefs and commitments. My personal benefits are not , I repeat , not my priorities. That’s where you lose the natural Tory. They really don’t give a fuk for others. It’s a phycological condition associated with sociopath and psycho behaviour shown to be successful in business and politics.

Every dead Israeli is a person with a family and bereaved family. The thousands of murdered Palestinian children are just dead. Humanity does not share this view. However much the deviant media and government wish to portray their crimes. 
bbc and uk media in general is just a propaganda arm of Israel. Which itself is an apartheid state of a facist nature. Whereby you are likely to be executed if you disagree to their infant genital mutilation based society.

Remember listening to Tension from Killing joke in 81 when in Germany around the chuck and princess dead marriage. Sad Geordie is gone. 
Fairy Tail of Jew York came out on my one visit to the Babylonia capital in 87/88. Kirsty and Shane friends and family have my condolences.
Henry kiss of death is gone as is Darling dead behind the eyes. 
 

[Fuck the SFA. Dons league cup final tickets sold out in <2hrs...]

Love the sfa . They are blaggers 

went on the site today to look out about our mens a team. Apart from a lot of the squad not having any club I was surprised to know the boy Hendry is at Peterborough Utd. 
As great as the internet is , wiki wot not tells me the boy Lewis Ferguson is 4’ 4” , 1.31m . Go on wee man. 

[Least home nations qualify the better]

Do hope the Wales team qualify. No Irish will mean seating in the Irish pubs in every fukin town. 

[Georgia V Scotland - Match Thread]

They didn’t like the way we danced. It bugged them .

they didn’t like the cut of our clothes. The certainly didn’t like the way we enjoyed it . Stuck our fingers right up their nose. 
does seem culturally in Georgia that football attracts the roasters and rugby not.

[Where are you based in Germany?]

Heard that Abcdef didn’t reflect pots too. Regardless it seems the three games will be drawn about Germany. Which given the time between games opens up options. 
No where is more than a day away trip and most are day trips. Honestly don’t care what draw we get . 
have never been to Stuttgart , Munich, Leipzig or Hamburg. Would get two of them if in Germany group. 

[Where are you based in Germany?]

Wee town in northern Germany, Melle. .

Really looking forward to this and formulating choices. 
reckoning we’re a pot two team gives six choices of venues for the three games with two groups meaning Hamburg , Berlin and Leipzig in a different order and another group meaning Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt. Don’t fancy that myself. 
my preferred games would be Dortmund , Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen. 
Looking to take a couple of weeks with expectations to stay longer.

It probably should be observed that, although our defence was iffy, France’s finishing last night was absolutely top drawer.

Yeah , they have a not bad attack. The Mbappe boy has a future. 
quite agree that football is very much a squad game . Especially heading into a tournament. 
I do feel we’re at a position where some will be considered unlucky not to make the final squad. 
giving time to those in positions like goalkeeper a chance to experience a game is pivotal. An injury to a keeper would be p crucial and it was good to read how chuffed Kelly and his mate were to represent their national team .

thankfully our head coach has smarts.

Liking this guy, hes absolutely schooled Morgan

Ta for posting that.& it is true to ask why Israel allowed the attacks to happen. 
prime minister question time today  simply emphasised how our government, like many, has a total disconnect from the vast majority of the population.

[V France thread]

Don’t be impartial. Adopt the guy S Thompson for the bbc who loves nothing better than saying Scotland is shite and should accept it .fukin Britnat cunto.

 😇

It’s all preparations from now till next summer. There’s so obviously plenty scared , intimidated, contioned to a Scotland inferiority ( cringe and all that) .

looking so forward to next summer. Regardless of our group.

we’ve drawn both World Cup finalists for European qualifying group ffs. In the rugby we just had the world #1 and world champions in a qualifying group. 
want to play with the best . You cringe if you want to

Indeed he has. And the response has been generally, prickly Jocks, get a sense of humour.

While his cartoons might be skilful, the newspapers themselves choose whether to run them. If the cartoons correspond to the newspaper's prejudice, they get printed. I mean a cartoonist private citrizen can say/draw what he likes; if a London newspaper chooses to insult its Scottish readership it says more about the newspaper really. The irony is they generally have no problems reproducing national stereotypes for other nations, including (for these purposes) Scotland as an 'other' nation, except in their politics they won't recognise Scotland's right as a nation - just the right to be 'othered'.

You just have to know who cannot be criticised. Most of us know what that is .

just watching a repeat Motorway cop episode. When you see the ones testing for coke then update says no further action you just know they’re one of them . On the pay roll , no laws .

Hello, great to get over the line last night! 

Very new to all this so if I've posted in the wrong place, sorry, I am looking for advice on how to get to Germany, best place to go etc. Obviously no draw made yet but is there a specific place in Germany that would be best to go to? Somewhere safe and full of Scots preferably. 8 of us plan to go over and experience the atmosphere, not bothered about match tickets, we'd just like to go and enjoy it all for a few days. Any help would be much appreciated. 

Once you get off this Island you will find affordable options for all types of public transport and accommodation. They are not countries run purely for the benefit of very few at the cost of most . 
Germany will be offering cheap reliable rail tickets throughout the tournament.  Campsites will be all over the shop.
