  1. I have an account on the ticket part of the SFA website, not sure if that’s what counts as being a member of the SSC. Either way, because I had 4 tickets allocated to my account, I wasn’t allowed any more.
  2. Just went on and got into reserve tickets but because I've bought 4 previously, I can't buy any more. Looking for 2 more tickets for mates coming over from Australia if anyone has spare.
  3. I've got 2 mates coming over from Australia and are hoping to go to the Norway game, if anyone is selling 2 tickets, I'd be much obliged if they could drop me a DM.
  4. Any reason why there are no Lowland League teams this season apart from relegated Cowdenbeath ?
  5. Surely if this was to happen en masse they would have to do what the East Juniors into the EoS and have conferences then form the new leagues based on their positions in the conferences?
  6. I'd much rather listen to a guy who's played at a decent level who uses colloquial phrases whilst still getting his point across than "journalists" giving their vanilla opinions on tv.
  7. Slaney is obviously there for "humour" and Kyle can go off on tangents at times but Si Ferry is quite articulate, knows football and I think will make a good coach one day as he "gets it". His opinions on overcoaching of young players and players not paying dues is bang on the money.
  8. It's due to WADA's jurisdiction not covering UEFA because they're not a "major event organisation" apparently. Edit: Beaten to it
  9. I have experienced this several times. I was on a first aid course and there was an ex military medic guy on it. "In the field, we'd have done this..." , When bullets are flying over your head, you've not got time for x, y and z". Asking questions just to show that he had a more in depth knowledge than everyone else. Cringeworthy doesn't cover it. Obviously had that misplaced air of arrogance you get with a lot of ex-military folk as well. Sit doon, shut up and let's just get this overwith.
  10. Wee Leo pre and post groom, a shaggy mess to a preened pooch in 2 hours.
  11. i vaguely recall being at the old Celtic Park watching the reserves v Hibs, who were wearing that awful purple away kit circa 93. The first game I can properly remember being at was a trip with my football team for what I believe was the first Scotland game at the new Hampden vs Holland. Pretty sure Bryan Roy scored in a 1-0 win.

    Anyone saying Fosters and Carling needs their palette repaired. 1. Moretti 2. Stella (Draught) 3. Drygate IPA 4. Hop House 5. Corona
  13. Fair comment, me and my mates used to go up to the local five a side complex on a Friday night and if there was pitches available, they'd let us on for a pound each, that was circa 97-02 right enough but you get the idea.
  14. The problem is endemic and it's not just one or 2 factors, its several. One of the gripes is about technology and video games, but every European country has technology and video games. The weather is horrendous obviously but it’s less horrendous than Iceland and Scandinavian countries but they seem to do ok. Also, boys can’t play for the school or local team if they play pro youth, which limits game time. There are coaching sessions run by idiot coaches where wee boys only get 5 or 6 touches in an hour session because the coach has picked a drill of YouTube that’s useless. Councils locking astro pitches so they can’t get on unless they pay a fiver a time is pricing kids out of playing too. In saying all that, there is a mentality problem as well. It's always been the same when boys hit 14/15 in this country, its not "cool" to be good at anything, so instead of putting all they've got into becoming the best they can be, they hit the bevvy and birds with their mates cos it's the easy option. To be a top professional, you need hard work and sacrifice and it's just not something a lot of our society is good at.
  15. We got married at 5pm and then just booked a function suite in a hotel nearby for a party. Hired a band, a buffet and a welcome drinks package and it was still very manageable cost wise. I know others will be different but going to a wedding for a 2pm start and sitting about waiting for the photos to get done, then the dinner, speeches etc is a long somewhat boring day. Ceremony, half an hour for photos whilst everyone else made their way to the hotel, speeches, cake, then party time, absolutely brilliant day.
  16. Pitch looks a damn sight better than it did for the South of Scotland Cup final a few weeks ago anyway.
  17. I think a lot of people are obsessing over the men being better than the women due to the recent claims that women should get paid the same. In the situation of national teams' prize money, I tend to agree the US should match the men due to the fact that they bring in the same if not more revenue from sponsorships etc. Anyone claiming the individual players' wages should be the same is way off the mark, players are only worth what clubs are willing to pay them and until the women catch up in worldwide appeal, that's just not gonna happen.
  18. Wee Leo, half Lhasa, half Maltese. Had his world turned upside down when our wee boy was born but apart from stealing his dummies he’s dealt with it brilliantly, doesn’t even mind his tash getting yanked!
  19. Caught the tail end of it last night after training. The guy who essentially got away with it due to supposed learning difficulties is a joke, showed no remorse and laughed through his interview. The text at the end said he lived in the community for 4 months after he was released but didn't say if any further action as taken.
  20. Did you hear about the cheese who painted his wife? He Double Gloucester.....
