jimstroma Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Could they got this worse if they tried? Overpriced tickets. Selling tickets to Irish fans for home end. Selling tickets in batches. Loyal fans are pissed of and they are not listening. Only fans who travel will renew membership as it will be easy to get tickets for all future home games.

Bit of an overreaction no? There will be fans mixing all day, I hope you voice concerns everytime Scotland fans are in the home end abroad?

THE STAIR PARK NUT Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Get a grip ffs.......I for one have no problem with Irish fans being in our end as we as Scotland supporters go in the home end in most away matches we attend!!! I forgot that we are the best suppoerters in the world & have a license to do what we want!!! Pogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washboarder Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 im thinking of the ppl who are bringing children with them, I know some guys who are bringing other ppls children with them a big responsibility when the children are not your own that's my concern their safety, and as for your comment re away we usually get 5% that's what it should be then so be it.

Nothing better to do with your time mate? Once your finished having a natter to Strathclyde's finest, maybe you can phone the German authorities and request a full inquest and report into those dangerous Scotland fans who risked the health and safety of the German public in Dortmund? Lot of garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, are the Irish going to snatch them or something? Those foul mouthed Irish with their drinking and their football songs. Something really ought to be done about it.

We usually get more than 5% and still have our fans in the home end. Did you phone to German police to voice your concerns as there would be 1000s of Scotland fans in the home end in sections where there were kids? Of the Czech, French, Icelandic etc over the years. I think folk are making this out to be a bigger issue than it actually is. There will be 1000s of us in home end in Dublin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The Irish fans don't have a reputation for violence or anything like that. Very well behaved, just like us ! Nothing to worry about from them.There's no doubt that one or two anti-Scots from Coatbridge and Garngad will be left deeply disappointed that they won't get the chance to indulge in any "Jock bashing" as Irish and Scots inevitably mix without any incident.

True Squirrel- I've already agreed with my Irish mate that I'll be doing it in Dublin. Two opposing fans who are best mates sitting next to each other in the home section of a football stadium... I can hear washboarder already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE STAIR PARK NUT Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Us fans who travel abroad book at the 1st opportunity to get tge cheapest prices so if its 5% & we don't get a ticket we just think better luck next time.....behave yourself.

ShedTA Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 To be fair regarding irish fans in the Scotland end. Of all supporters of other nations out there I would think the Irish would be one of the best ones to have in our home end. I have always found them fairly well behaved and generally just full of banter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimstroma Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 The SFA could have gave the Irish a bigger allocation in return for a sizeable amount of tickets for the return fixture. The whole ticket fiasco for all home games is a complete shambles. I really don't they could have got it so wrong if they tried. The only thing they seem to have got right is the appointment of Strachan as manager. They have also made a mess of the sale of merchandise. Every home game in the next 12 months should be a sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevincronin2000 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Well the SFA have confirmed that they have sold 7000 home tickets to irish addresses so add the official 3200 away tickets plus the ones posted to the Irish living in the UK it should make for a cracking atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 My concern is Irish supporters who are Scottish - speaking to a lad at weekend who supports Celtic and Scotland, he said he has had arguments with a number of fellow Celtic fans he knows who will be supporting Ireland in home end. This could easily lead to bother if the result goes a certain way or something controversial happens on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenAngus Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Ach it will be quite novel to have opposition fans in our end. This was easily predictable and avoidable but the whole ticket thing has been mishandled in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pencils Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just noticed me and my mates tickets that were booked together are 4 seats apart on the same row. Not that big a deal just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320lichtie Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 People thinking there won't be trouble in the stands.... FFS just look at the arguing on these boards between the 2 sets of fans. It's nothing like any of the games we've had before, it's a big derby match we both speak the same language, chances are 70 percent of folk will have been bevvying all day. If something controversial happens in the game there will be bother. FFS I've saw Scotland fans argue/nearly fight between themselves over arguing about club sides. A rangers fan from Aberdeen was nearly scrapping with a Celtic fan at the Georgia game. Trouble written all over this with away fans in the home end I'm sorry to say.
