I joined the queue at 9.10, got in at 10.15. Germany FF tickets went immediately, but managed to get my pick of Switzerland tickets. Already had Hungary.
There's still expensive Germany ones and some restricted view for Switzerland the last I saw.

Formation of a supporters’ club.

Do I not remember something like this happening before, where a bunch of randoms decided they were going to be the official supporters club despite us already having some? I remember the BISC weren't too pleased about it.

Great to be back

Can categorically state that the impact of the Malky appointment is much worse than 50 or so fans boycotting. For one thing there are a number of businesses behind the scenes that have walked away with substantial funding. A reasonable chunk of the money Roy had to write-off would be accounting for that lost revenue. There's also a reason the Victoria Suite has been shut for numerous games over the last two years - and that has a big knock-on effect too. Most of that isn't likely to come back though. I can definitively say that a large chunk of that cash isn't coming back regardless now.

I'm so conflicted on all of it, I'd essentially accepted our relegation after the Hearts debacle. It would be nice to not get relegated, but at the end of the day the most important thing is that racist sack of shit is given his jotters.

I would like to know why Sugar Kennedy got punted as MC for matchday hospitality. The guy is a legend and worked the room so well.
No "punting". Sugar's been slowly but surely stepping back for years into semi-retirement. He was only doing every second match pre-pandemic.

The trade up for Anderson is catching a lot of heat for the price but the whole city needed the boost tbh and they have two of the best players in the draft so I don’t mind too much.
A lot of chat they’ve given away potentially the second pick next year to Arizona but I can’t see the Texans picking quite that high with a last-place schedule next season. I think the pick will be in the 10-12 range personally and the one we have from Cleveland will be around 16 so not too much of a gap.
It depends on how you look at it. Switch the picks and you end up with Anderson, a pick no-one could argue with at #2.
To then get Stroud, we've traded two firsts, a second, and a third while also getting a 4th in return. To put that in perspective, the Niners traded 3 firsts and a third to get Trey Lance last year for the exact same jump - #12 to #3.
We didn't do it in that order as it would have driven the value of the #3 pick up in a bidding war for Stroud. If you think of the two picks as two separate issues and that we we were always going to take Anderson then the deal's actually not that bad. Like for like with the Niners trade we've got a First and a Fourth still for the price of a Second.

In fact, even if you let the OF do their own thing (provided they and the rest of the league can both broadcast the games) the rest of the teams should be doing something like this. It's all about continuing to raise the profile and find new revenue streams. Split the operating profit based on viewing figures or individual teams' subscribers if needs be. As long as the costs are covered it's a no brainer.

A joined up approach akin to how the NFL work their gamepass system is the answer. They've done away with a lot of the variations now, but you used to be able to sign up to either your own teams' games (live, "as-live" & various lengths of highlights i.e. "game in 60", extended or condensed), or a broader package for not that much more where you could stream every teams games and highlights. Plenty of people would pay for that second package, especially if (as the NFL did) you pair it up with oodles of additonal content such as Hard Knocks (behind the scenes pre-season with a different team each year) and RedZone (think, Soccer Saturday but with the actual footage from the games) - you could even have a different extra package for the cups.
Trying to structure a deal that will benefit the Old Firm and not make the whole thing financially pointless (or worse, loss-leading) for everyone else will be the challenge, but at some point it makes sense to make every single game available.

It's been down a few days now. I must admit, I was a little sad to see it go but at the same time it's a relief to be free of it.

If we can't trade down and turn #3 & #13 into a better haul I'll be disappointed. There's no "one thing" that we need. We need many, many things. I get the feeling no-one will try to jump all the way up to #3, but #13 might be worth something.

Cheers for the correction. Either way any European adventure would be wild.

I hate it. I hate how I get sucked in too. I took on helping out back when Adrian was still around but I've literally heard nothing from him in ages and I'm left holding the can for it. I'd quite happily walk away now if I could.

They really need to go and chuck the farm at Deshaun Watson now, just to reiterate what a binfire of a franchise they are.
Yes please

I think you're forgetting Craig Curran could also win a foul pretty much anywhere he wanted.

I haven't watched the Lions much this year but I can now confirm, we won't be getting the #1 pick this year. No way that Lions team are going to pick up 2 wins from here.

It's all about execution. The Rams plan isn't a great model to follow, but they've done it well. You could argue Bill O'Brien was trying and horrifically failing at doing similar for a while by spending all of his draft picks too. Stockpiling draft picks should be a good way to build up a team, but many teams do an absolutely dreadful job of it too. Every GM thinks they're a genius, but if they're genuinely good at their job then there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Hours to go until the trade deadline. Will Watson get his move? John McClain at the Houston Chronicle (the guy who gets spoon fed by the Texans) claims Watson's trying to settle the claims so that he can move today.

That's nice of them. It's a thoroughly horrible experience at the best of times anyway.

I see he's been banned. Is it over that post or is there more that's been deleted?
It's a temporary ban at the moment. Essentially I've given him a time-out in the corner. Nothing has been deleted, except the "thread title" of his new thread which merged back into the Dundee Utd one. It was a lovely attack on myself and Forfinn.

Well that took a turn.

Of all our championship residing former forwards Brian Graham would be the one that would most comfortably step back up to this level again.
Brian Graham > Jordan White
Billy Mackay > Alex Samuel
Edit: Also, P&B > OTB. Burn it, burn it now.

Also, don't believe the availability thing. It's bullshit. Also, even if they show on the portal they don't necessarily actually have the availability to go into your basket.
