Just spent an hour trying to get through to order my tickets for the Scotland v Georgia match at Hampden. After holding on for 25 minutes eventually got through but it's same for every game. We joined the Scotland Supporters Club to get tickets guaranteed and Josh and I have only missed 2 home games in the last four years. Also heard the website for the tickets kept on crashing and when folk phoned up were told they couldn't get tickets as they had already odered online.
The buggers at the SFA have also put the prices up, an extra £6 over the price to watch France. Never mind got the tickets all we need now is a manager.

It looks like rip off time at the SFA. We start to get a bit of form going and then it is Let's put the price up. Did you expect anything else from this mob Shanksi?
Any way you and the wee man are sorted, So lets hope we can get a result and put more pressure on the the big three in the group.
On the manager front it looks like McLeish is in poll position at the moment, Think the SFA might surprise us all by naming a total outsider in the media spot light but a yes man in the Association or one at the latter stages of his career. Still think McLeish is waiting for another crack at team level and don't think he would stick around long if a decent offer came along from the likes of Aberdeen or a team with potential in England say a Sheffield Wednesday or Wolves who have a big fan level and support, These two with the right guidance could be a regular in the Premiership. Think McLeish got a raw deal at Rangers considering the money he was allowed to spend and the success he brought to Rangers, any other club in the country would be happy but that's the old firm fans for you.

A manager's available who's won the World Cup, Champions League and Italian League but he's a foreigner so we won't be interested. Name is Marcello Lippi and he's good pals with Fergie and Walter Smith. As you say probably get one of the yes men for the job. The form we got for the tickets says they can't guarantee that you'll get two tickets, it depends on demand so we're supposed to wait until 10 days before the game and find out we don't have a ticket. So much for rewarding their loyal supporters.  shanksi |

I your right there Shanksi, It's not so long ago you could pick one up in Morrison's with your shopping mate.
The thing is they are no world beaters but at least they are having a go and giving a bit of dig and showing some commitment, under wee Bertie it was getting that bad the jokes were out before the result.
Where was the commitment from the SFA to the fans who followed the team when they were a laughing stock. I thats right fik them, everybody wants to come now so we will allocate ticket's to them first and do a ballot for our loyal supporters who have followed us through the dark days of Bertie no Volts.
