Thought i'd chance my luck this morning on the sale date of Atalanta tickets for their away game at Liverpool next Thursday. After a slight hitch, where it said i was ineligible to buy (i had told the truth and entered my UK passport details and place of birth as Scotland), i simply picked a place of birth in Italy from a drop down menu and using the same genuine UK passport number was the proud owner of a ticket! Staggered it was that easy, looking forward to being in an away end with some mental Italian ultras, hope they don't beat me up!

Quick GIS of Euro 2020 to refresh my memory brings up a mixed bag... We did wear all navy in all 3 games Spain and Germany fucked it off and wore their traditional shorts more often than not England did too on occasion but also wore all white against us and in the final v Italy.... Where Italy wore blue shirts and NAVY shorts?? What a mess!

FIFA put that into World Cup regulations from the 2014 tournament but I don't think it's been followed for any of the Euros in that time as I recall. In my mind it always seems to swing back to classic kits (Germany black shorts, Spain blue etc) during the UEFA tournament as it always takes me a bit by surprise again by the time the next WC comes round

Absolutely staggered some people on here are not convinced Judd Trump is as bald as a coot! Are you mad??

The legend goes that Stirling Albion actually called in the local fire brigade and gave the pitch a good hosing down before that game as they thought they'd have the advantage on a boggy pitch. Not sure how much truth there is to that, but it's pretty popular folklore round FK5, i think the story was even included in Bill Lothian's Stenhousemuir history tome 'Onwards & Upwards'

This is available here, albeit on a subscription network. FiteTV (TrillerTV+) is about £6.99 a month (depending on dollar exchange). They also do a 7-day free trial if you wanted to strategically wait for the semis/final week. They also have the coverage of the Portuguese League in the UK and the Asian Champions League (though that doesn't recommence 'til mid-Feb) Won't be dabbling myself as not all that interested, might do the free trial if there isn't anything on the box for semi-finals/final week, but in case anyone is interested

Missed the voting on this, so here's the real top 10 10 - Nathan For You 9 - Twin Peaks 8 - The Bridge 7 - Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin 6 - Succession 5 - Planet Earth 4 - Monkey 3 - Better Call Saul 2 - Transparent 1 - The Sopranos

I thought Gretna had done 14 twice that season? Maybe one of the earlier run was a cup win? Either way, i think 14 will be the highest, without having a deep dive i can't think of that having been bettered in L2/3rd Div East Kilbride won 30 straight in the Lowland League in 2016 and claimed a world record at the time, but that was across 15/16 & 16/17 i think so obviously was helped by no promotion. Perhaps East Stirling fans can tell us more about that, that was the year they moved into their new permanent division so witnessed the feat at close quarters! If a team was posting those numbers in L2/3rd Div they're obviously not going to be around for a second dip at the total the following season. So for form's sake i think considerations should be kept to single season totals! @craigkillie

Jarell Quansah at Liverpool has a Scottish grandparent apparently. Unlikely to make the leap while in the current England U-21 team, he will fancy his chances to go all the way with England. But worth an eye for the near future if he doesn't break through

Couple of young lads live on the telly just now. TNT Sports 1 coverage of the Man Utd Vs Bayern Munich UEFA Youth League game. We have, for Man Utd, centre half Louis Jackson and Malachi Sharpe, who's playing on the right hand side of a front three. Both capped for Scotland U-19

Alternatively, are you familiar with the @evertonspares twitter account, always lots of spares for home games flying around on there, and quite often two, three, four together etc.

Yes easy enough, if you link multiple memberships to a master account you can buy seats together in one transaction. Obviously need one membership per ticket bought though. I have 3 with my girl's accounts so if you needed multiples this season i could help you out with that. Would be 1x Adult and 2x Junior, but i'm pretty sure once tickets are bought you can contact the ticket office and pay an upgrade to make a junior ticket an adult.

I'm off the matches at the moment due to new twin babies in the house, still making evening games as they are decent sleepers but 12:30pm/3pm/5:30pm KO's are off limits for me at the moment. (Only managed Burnley so far this season, with Newcastle and Fulham to come in December!) If you need a ticket for a home game i can get one for you with my membership (or anyone else for that matter) for the time being. Bear in mind it's only one so no use for folk wanting to sit together, and would need notice of what you wanted as games generally go on sale a month before each match (eg Newcastle game on the 7th December just went on sale yesterday the 6th November.) Really need to get them on first couple of days once on sale for most games, and pretty much day of sale for your Liverpools, Manchester C/U's etc. Disclaimer: Will still be going to the derby whatever time that ends up being, snuck that in as a non-negotiable to make me feel like i have some control still!
