I think that was actually increased to 120 days but not sure if it applies to friendlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Great games, Peru and Mexico will be amazing. Been to Budapest many, many times, its a great city and will be excellent for a fitba game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bunnet Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Living in Blackpool, can get direct flights Sun / Mon out, return Thurs, or nip up to Bratislava on Weds £10 on train and direct flight £30....but 2 nights is enough, so Mon / Weds. Need a good Cheltenham before can even dream about Peru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Heard some pundits moaning about this - ''it's too far away'', ''what about Celtic/Aberdeen/Rangers European campaigns?'' ''it'll be hot'' We really a nation of diddies. And the likes of Willie Miller, Chic Young get away with spouting utter nonsense on radio every week. These are the most exciting friendlies we've played in years. Four teams we have not played in donkeys, and finally some ambition from the SFA - makes you wonder if O'Neill has agreed to take the gig? He took Northern Ireland to Chile and Uruguay a few years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only "exciting" for the trips themselves. On the field will be a complete waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintydave Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Thankfully we never qualify for any tournaments, we would be pish without all the players from teams without European commitments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm getting those prices quoted on there even with stopovers etc. I'll go back later hopefully it's just a temporary price due to surge in demand since the game's been announced.

I've just booked direct flight with British Airways on their website using multi-city option (in to Lima and out of Mexico), came in at £722. Cheapest flight between Peru and Mexico is £150. Next cheapest is £400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's just a couple of friendlies, no major dramas there, ok it's a bit further away but most players would be jumping on flights for family holidays etc anyway so really there is no excuse no to go.

Langtonian Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 You,d have thunk it would be our new manager ( if we ever get one)that would select our opponents and venues for friendlies instead of a load of suits in an office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that draw, lose or draw it's back to trying to enjoy my holiday again. I used to get all worked up and down about it but Tbilisi was one kick in the stains too much for me. I promised myself after that I wouldn't let 11 wankers spoil my trips again Im nowhere near the "no Scotland no party" stage... yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
