Nice one, they should do this type of thing more often for the kids. Get schools to visit. Maybe they already do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo Foot Soldier Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Eskbank did they give you any indication if the kids get to speak to the players ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read the email, I couldn't decide what was the most stupid idea the marketing team had come up with: watch a lot of average footballers train or put mother's day flowers at seats in Hampden.

McTeeko Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Turned up at the Oriam 45 mins ago. No invite, but came along with the wee man anyway as it's only 10 mins away. There's about 25/30 fans in the stand yet the G4S guys still wouldn't let us in ? Stood behind the glass doors and watched the attackers go through a finishing drill so still got to see a bit. Oli Burke's body language is shocking. Zero enthusiasm. If he's like this at every squad get together it's no wonder Strachan doesn't go with him.

I took my two boys along today and they (and I!) loved it, especially getting the chance to talk to the players and get photos with them at the end of the session. It's definitely something they should do more of and the SFA rep I spoke to hinted that it would be repeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo Foot Soldier Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 My young lad has been buzzing all the way home. 90% of the squad over for photos etc. Fair play to them all, nothing was too much for them. I thought Oliver Burke was carrying an injury during part of the training but perked up in the bounce game. 1 v 0 to the Bibs ( Armstrong ) Now for two victories and putting some kind of life and momentum into the campaign .
