  1. We have a couple booked...1 at Hyde Park...1 is a Euro 21 booking in a pub....both deposit free. We will choose which one nearer the time... Malborough Head, Mayfair 7 to 10 (near Hyde Park).....and The Half Moon in Putney area (slot for watching the game 7 to 11).... Although we are hopeful rather than optimistic on getting tickets for Wembley.
  2. We are the same as you...2 of us with 12 points. Have the hotel booked...and waiting to book train.
  3. We should just about get tickets as there are 2 of us on 12 points. We have a hotel booked that we can cancel...and will be looking to book train once allocation is confirmed. Not thought about pubs yet. I kinda had hoped that pre and post game there may be a Scotland fanzone? Similar to Trafalgar that is happening (will surely mainly be England fans)..and hope that does happen...Will see closer to the time.
  4. So we leave out McGinn? Or play McGinn or Christie as a holding central midfielder? Not a chance......McGinn has cemented his spot as our man behind the striker now - deservedly undroppable. There is no room for all 3 - Fraser goes for me, until he shpws his commitment to Scotland........
  5. Fraser just now. For me, due to his reluctance to pull on the dark blue shirt of late, he has to win his place back. By turning up consistently for squads AND improving his form at club level (it's not been great of late), then he can stake a claim again, but not until then.
  6. I am. A Queen of rhw South supporter, and whilst he has some qualities, he should be nowhere near our squad. To those that say that players can improve, fair enough, but in half a dozen games for Livi he is suddenly Scotland material? Behave! At times he was not even an above average Championship player last season... No thank you! Sunday's goal aside... His finishing is usually woeful, trust me on that one. I wish him all the best, but I was not that bothered whether he stayed at Queens or not... .. That says it all really. Besides, I am pretty sure he said last year that he felt Australian and if he every got good enough to play international football (which I highly doubt) he would pick the Aussies over us. Forget about him as a potential Scotland cap.... It is not going to happen.
  7. Monday night most places will be TA friendly and will be desperate for our business. The reverse is true for Friday unfortunately.
  8. Agreed. Terrible venue. Enjoyed Campus but I think the venue for this has to be changed. It will never work in Mango. We ended up going to the Savoy the last time...they usually let TA in and it was infinitely better than Mango.
  9. I got 2 x 50 euro tickets for the Hampden game on 23rd June - applied for 2 tickts for all 3 group games. One of my mates got FOUR tickets for all 3 group games at Hampden - jammy sod! He will have lots of friends until June - especially if we somehow qualify! 2 of my other mates got nothing!
  10. My word. I never ever alluded to anything like that. We have decent players.....not world beaters. I certainly think that we have better players rhan Northern Ireland. They have qualified with worse players than us. We can qualify and be so much better than we are with a decent manager. I am not saying we will every be world beaters.....but we have quality, and enough to certainly qualify for the European finals.
  11. Of course things would improve with a top manager. I am getting a bit fed up with the "does not matter who is manager as our players are awful" mentality. It is this very train of thought that is killing our game domestically and at international level. A more positive perspective from the press and the fans may well help us achieve more. Half of the time we are beaten before a ball is kicked. It is no wonder that we have so many players withdraw. Our attitute stinks at times...this must filter down to the players, who must think...what is the point, we are not good enough? We have very decent players. Our captain has been (including this season) instrumental to leading his club team to 2 successive Champions League semi finals, and has a shot of winning a league winners medal at one of the world's top leagues. We have Fraser too, who is one of the top assisters in the very same league with a bang average side, and being touted with a move to Arsenal. A slew of very deent professionals at our top Scottish team, the best of which (in my opinion) being Tierney, I do think he will be in one of europe's top leagues very soon. McKenna, whilst having a lot to learn, is very promising, and valued in the £10million bracket. Bates...getting rave reviews in Germany. McTominay, bossing games versus PSG, and playing for one of the world's top teams. We have the like of Gilmour, who I believe will be top quality, coming through. Possibily Dembele, although attitudes such as this will ultimately force him to chose England over us. In Griffiths' absense we do lack a decent striker. But if Northern Ireland can make Maggenis look decent, then the like of McBurnie and S Fletcher can be made into world beaters. It is not all doom and gloom, and what I guess I am trying to day is, given the right manager, we will be a LOT better. No more of this defeatist attitude that had plagued our game for too long. Anyway...rant over.
  12. Of course he will leave. The maximum weekly wage he can expect with Celtic is £30k. He would easily command £100k+ in a top league somewhere. Whilst he is a massive Celtic fan, it will not be lost on him just how far Robertson has progressed by moving on (in exactly the same position). I think that Tierney is potentially as good as Robertson, but his career will stifle in Scotland. Sadly for Scottish football, he is better than Celtic.
  13. I am led to believe from a Hampden insider, that a friend knows, the reason behind Snoddy's absense is akin to a revolt against the management team. Allegedly in our last match Snoddy advised that he had a niggling injury. He was spparently then asked if he would take an injection to allow him to play, which he apparently agreed to. Then was not selected. The story goes that he was mightily pissed off as he risked further injury or damage through having this injection, thus a potential threat to his club fitness. Could well be total nonsense, however, if there is ANY truth to it, then it is an awful situation.
  14. McLeish has lost the players and the fans. Time to get rid after these 2 games, regardless of results. We are going nowhere but obscurity.
  15. I don't think we were that bad under Vogts. In my opinion, we had a FAR more limited squad then than we do now. But that was the last time that we reached any playoff. I think Vogts gets a bit of unwarranted stick, and I agree (at the time) I thought that he was awful.........but in hindsight with players like Crawford, Kyle et all at his disposal, it was a minor miracle he did as well as he did!
