Pie Of The Month

SSN had Simon Calder on saying book before the draw and take a chance for anyone still holding off.

Seen a couple of things this morning saying the German FA have corrected what they said about allocations and are now saying they will get 10k for their supporters club members and the Slovakian FA have said the same. That Leipzig last 16 game I'm going to try and get to if it's the early evening game, I'm back to Scotland the following day from Berlin unless Scotland make the quarter finals in which case I'll patch the flight and phone my work to beg for an extra few days off.

No. Israel and Bosnia both won their Nations League groups too and finished above us in the overall Nations League rankings.

We'd have been away to Bosnia as seeding would've been 1. Israel, 2. Bosnia, 3. Scotland, 4. Whoever was drawn into the path.

You're a year early, the qualifiers aren't done until October 2024 and the finals are in June 2025.

https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scotland/supporters-tickets/scotland-supporters-club-membership/ssc-loyalty-points/ That's the SSC points updated after Georgia and Norway and the final cut before the tickets go on sale in December. Looks like 12 points and above should be alright. Numbers on 11 have jumped massively with Norway replacing Denmark, was 4370 on 11pts last month and now over 7k.

This ref is the absolute clown we had in Oslo. Doing well tonight tbqh.

What a ball from Barron and touch from Mebude before the penalty award.

Slicker looks much improved recently from when I've seen him for Scotland youth teams in the past. Would be good for him to get regular football somewhere.

Wales games must be shown with Welsh commentary. Viaplay can't be arsed doing it so they subcontract it out to S4C. There's no such requirement for Scotland games to be broadcast in any other language so no need for Viaplay to do the same.

and in the bigger shock of the night Northern Ireland are holding Denmark 0-0 too.

For those who were wondering how it would work for SSC members under 16 the German FA have explained it as part of this article for their members. via google translate So you'll be able to buy the tickets for any u16s on your own UEFA account.

You're right to assume. Other than Germany who are allocated A1 as hosts every other team drawn out will then be drawn again to be allocated a random place within their group.

Welsh one will be on S4C but the rest will be Viaplay.

Yes they would so would be playing Poland rather than Wales.

Mine was wrong years ago and they fixed it, heard they're a bit more of a pain in the arse about it now though.

As @craigkillie said I think that was just bookings being wiped rather than suspensions from a booking in the final game. Joe Morrell was suspended for Wales semi final v Austria. The UEFA articles linked as the source in the wiki article don't mention specifically about suspensions from the final qualifier so I think he's out. Section IX - https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regulations-of-the-UEFA-European-Football-Championship-2022-24/Article-53-UEFA-Disciplinary-Regulations-Online

Kvaratskhelia picked up his 3rd booking of the qualifiers in their meaningless match v Spain and the euro 2024 qualifiers wiki which I accept isn't the best source suggests that means he'll be suspended for their playoff semi final which would be very funny.

Probably helps McGinn in getting the nod on penalties that Austin MacPhee is also at Villa with him working on them according to McGinn's post match interview. The thing that might harm him with goals over the next couple of years is our level of opposition will be getting better. Nations League group A will be much tougher plus the qualifiers reducing to groups of 4 and 5 from 5 and 6 possibly means less games v minnows and any friendlies arranged to replace the number of qualifiers I suspect won't be against the likes of San Marino.

That's Norway eliminated from playoff contention now with tonight's results.

Glad Breen is now miserable after being amazed Shane Duffy didn't reach double figures in Scotland because Scottish football wasn't good enough for him

It's not better content as it's simply not true.

Lovely.

Just recovered after getting 2 and a half hours sleep between full time and last night, those early hours flights out of Tbilisi are murder. Great city to visit, people are lovely with the exception of their version of wee neds who tried to attack the away end at full time and got a doing by the local police, I got pelted an absolute belter with a bottle. Not much to add on the game but surprised there was any criticism on McLean from my quick skim of the thread but see plenty defending him, he looked composed and done well in both his roles from what I could see, especially when combining with Armstrong after Taylor went off.

u21s 2-0 up away at Belgium half an hour in. Live on youtube.
