1-0 Mulgrecpen. settling into the game now.

His game management was very poor in 2nd half. was obvious we were losing a grip of the game. After the equaliser he did nothing. After the 2nd goal he did nothing. If he stays then he needs to change his backroom staff. MeGhee turned up with an empty notepad....& left with one too. Hopeless. on Talksport apparently Allardyce said on Friday off mic that he would consider the Scotland job. If nothing else it at least says that it's still a job some people want. My preference would be to got for Paul Lambert. Let him bring in the younger players & work with them. Walter Smith as his no.2 would be ideal.

Fletcher has to start. Unspectacular but we need his experience especially with Brown missing. keep the back five the same. Striker stays the same. That leaves four positions that Strachan can use to freshen the side up but I suspect he may well go with the same side.

Is this actually an official friendly? I.e. Does it count as an away point? cant get to France game as only on three points. thinking about this one now.

....and four days prior to this game....we'll all just sweep this under the carpet once again then shall we. unbelievable the blinkered view in this bitter little country of ours at times. Police arrest 17 at Celtic v Dinamo Zagreb tie or the Dens Park riots last year? sweep, sweep.

Don't have any choice then I guess.

Any focal point for a march today or are we all just making our own way there?

Dusseldorf, Alstadt area ( old town ) absolutely rocking tonight. Good mix of Germans , scots, hen nights and stag nights. like being in Ibiza!

Arrived I'm Dusseldorf this morning. 6:15 flight from Gatwick. Did the cruise before lunch. Had a couple of beers in the Alstadt. A few dozen kilts around and more arriving by the hour. Nice city.nice beer.

one more sleep. up at 5 am tomorrow for 7 am flight from Gatwick to Dusseldorf. 2 nights in Dusseldorf & 1 night in Bochum after the game. cannae wait.

They were both on the bench weren't they?

Apparently there are two train stations at the airport. Any idea. Which one is best for main Dusseldorf centre journey?
