Booked flights Glasgow > Frankfurt Sunday morning, returning Thursday night. £300. Taking my chances I’ll get a single bed in a hostel once the fixtures are set and I should get a train anywhere from Frankfurt (?).
Will be keeping an eye on this thread for any tips.
What’s the worst that can happen?!
The worst that could happen is Scotland are drawn in group B play on the Saturday in Berlin and the Thursday in Gelsenkirchen and you see none of them.

Whilst I agree that there's alot of history to hampden the idea that edinburgh is a rugby city is only something you here from the west coast. You mention edinburgh sport to 99% of people and they think of hearts and hibs and yes there supports are comfortably behind celtic and rangers most of the OF support come from bigoted scumbags from all areas of the country, the idea they are more likely to travel from various regions of the country to glasgow more than edinburgh is weird when your consider the national team.
And edinburgh is a bawhair from glasgow in population, the differences aren't worth considering
The difference in metropolitan area is about 700k, it's definitely worth considering.

I would imagine it’s going to work as follows:
Tottenham, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Newcastle get 5 matches each - 4 group matches and one R16 or SF. Manchester and Tottenham get a QF each and the other three get a R16.
Cardiff - 4 group matches (including the opener) and two R16
Belfast - 4 group matches and one R16
Hampden & Aviva - 4 groups matches, one R16 and one QF each
Wembley - 2 SFs and Final.
Wales/Scotland/NI/ROI will be predrawn if they qualify into a group where they can play all their matches at home. England will be predrawn if they qualify into a group with one match in London, one in Newcastle and one in Manchester/Liverpool.
Cardiff, Dublin and Glasgow each get a QF according to the Times article.

6 games at Hampden is more than I expected if this is accurate.

That's Lamine Yamal out injured too so don't need to worry about getting ripped apart by a 16 year old.
Fair few missing for Spain now. Yamal, Gaya, Pedri, Yeremy Pino, Dani Olmo and Marco Asensio all missing through injury.

McKenna is front and centre in the picture the national team social media have put out of training this afternoon.
Carver sent out to address the media today to say all the things Clarke never would.

For those shiting it about this international window you can get around 6/1 on the results required for us not to qualify by next Sunday night.
If it comes in it pays my flights to Georgia next month and if it doesn't I'll be too delighted to care about the lost money.

How does it work for those on the threshhold for having enough points? Do UEFA operate a "window" to use your code in the same way?
Also, and a difficult question given that we've never been involved in a knockout game, do these operate in the same manner just in a very tight timescale after group stages games?
Apologies for all the questions!
Similar to how it works right now with the sales schedule they send out for away games they'll have a time and date where the points drop down and you become eligible to buy. If it's like last time you'll get an email from the SSC well in advance with your unique code to access the UEFA ticket portal so it's really just the same as how it works right now but using UEFA's website to buy your tickets rather than the SFA's.
I can't imagine knockouts working any differently tbh, just with tighter timescales involved like you suggest.

It's quite different, but 15 players selected in March have been selected in October. The October squad is only 24 men strong while in March it was 26.
These are the ins/outs. It doesn't seem massively stronger to me - just some good, some bad.
I don't think those lists are accurate for the games v Scotland. Olmo and Pedri both got injured so weren't involved in the squad for the Scotland game in March and won't be involved this month either, Balde got injured too so technically he's an addition compared to the last time they faced us.
Borja Iglesias came on against Scotland too and isn't in this squad.

Also sent a question on that. I've applied for 3 games in cologne.
Would the SSC tickets go via SFA website and not Uefa site? If so, can't see the SFA being able to cross ref with Uefa. Also surely would need to be via SFA for points verification?
Minefield!
SSC tickets go via UEFA's site. You get emailed a unique access code by the SFA to be able to buy tickets from UEFA for the Scotland allocation if you have enough points.

It’s been said all along - fan owned isn’t fan run. We’ve elected representatives who we think will best represent our shareholding and need to trust their judgement on these things. That’s how this is meant to work - if you don’t like it, vote for someone else at the next elections.
I think there's a massive difference between electing representatives to make the day to day decisions and not being consulted at all on a major change to the % shareholding held by the fan groups. The fact the Foundation have tried to address this suggests they know fine well it's not just a "fan owned isn't fan run" decision.

Barely literate statements posted by family members on facebook is a great look for the club.

Better news that I was expecting. His company indie already has advertising at Firhill and he's a Thistle fan so at least it isn't some absolute chancer or another Low.

Am I right in saying the PTFC Trust Trustees now includes The Jags Foundation, so it's possible this isn't the original group of Trustees who are widely disliked making this decision alone?
Correct. The Jags Foundation and the Jags Trust are now corporate trustees along with a couple of the original trustees.
Which is why I'd assume they are keeping quiet about this as they are never normally shy.

No match thread I can see but squad announced by France is just a bit good.

Took their time announcing the fixtures, very fan unfriendly with it being just over 3 weeks till game day 11 in the BL2.
Will be looking to go to the St. Pauli game as well.
Let me know if you want for me to try and get a ticket in the away end. The 3000 that H96 gets for the away end sell out in about 2 and a half minutes.
Cheers mate, will let you know once I work out my plans.

BL and 2.BL fixtures out up until the start of December.
https://www.dfl.de/en/news/exact-schedule-for-bundesliga-and-bundesliga-2-matches-released/
St Pauli v H96 on a Friday night is really tempting me on my way to Georgia for the Scotland game next month.

O'Riordan pulled out of the u21s but is playing for Crewe tonight and scored. Strange one.
The Courier confirmed he's changed his mind and is back to committing to Ireland. *shrugs*

I'm not following that information, I just can't see UEFA stopping any fans watching their nation due to getting tickets to other games - never know with UEFA though.
I would expect UEFA to give allocation to teams after the April ticket sales. I've applied for tickets every day near where i'm staying and will have the points for Scotland games
If we go by recent tournaments UEFA give allocations to qualified teams around January/February, it's only the teams that qualify via the playoffs that get their allocation that late.
It might work out for you but it's quite a bold move to just decide you know better when the alternative is a chance you're stuck with tickets for another game on the same day Scotland play with no way to buy Scotland tickets via the SSC because of UEFA's rules on not having tickets for 2 games on the same day.

Starting to regret being cheap here and booking the night bus back to London straight after the game.
