Fifth row from the front in section N2 in Cologne - not great. At least a bit further back in 127 in Munich.
Sounds like you’re next to me for both of those

It doesn't seem to work for everyone or every game but it looks like you can view your seat on the UEFA ticket portal.
Login - https://euro2024-sales.tickets.uefa.com/account/tickets
and then in the 'My Tickets' section if you select View on Map then it should show you where your seat is and you can check it's next to the people you requested to be next to if you done that for SSC tickets.
Mine is showing only for the Switzerland game. I'm N3 in the North Stand, looks decent enough for 30 euro.
I can see my seats for the first and second games. Pretty much right on the corner flag for both. Both of these were fans first SSC allocation.
Can’t see my FF tickets for Turkey vs Georgia, two additional Cat 1s I purchased for Swiss game and the SSC cat 2 for the Hungary game.

This can’t be right, ‘Manchester United Forever’ said he was going to miss the tournament.

26% of our points this season have been gained against Motherwell.
If we’d lost all games against them, we’d be in the relegation playoff spot and they’d be in the European places.
Motherwell FC, thank you.

Fantastic episode tonight. Stavrum was brilliant and the O’Donnell feature was really well done.

There were people who were at the game who aren't getting the points because their ticket didn't register when scanned never mind people with cancelled flights. A few on here have mentioned it in the new SFA ticket system thread. The SSC said in the emails prior to the Netherlands game they'd be doing this as the Dutch FA were sharing the details of tickets scanned and not scanned. They don't apply the same rule to home games and I doubt they have the appetite to either since they probably just want the money, especially for games which don't sell out like Northern Ireland.
It seems likely a needless hassle to get this data from the host association and then go got the trouble of applying it for those who didn’t scan in. It won’t be consistent across all away games either as I imagine most won’t be able to provide this.

Sorry to be a pain but can’t seem to get my head round this. I’ll be based in Essen for matches two and three. Will my match ticket get me train travel to Cologne for match two? I’m assuming I’ll have to book a train for match three in Stuttgart.
Essen - Cologne, you can travel for free if you hold a match ticket within the VRR and VRS zones on the map. Valid 6am matchday to 6pm following day on regional trains only.
Essen - Stuttgart, you should buy a ticket in advance, you won’t be covered with your match ticket.

Maybe I’m imagining it and it’s confirmation bias now but feel like both he and Jensen shy away from heading the ball. Our whole defence do at times. Feel like I’m often saying don’t let that bounce.
Is it ridiculous to suggest that younger players may be influenced by increasing knowledge of head injuries and resultant diseases? Has defending subconsciously or even consciously changed as a result?
Often sit and watch us and think big Gashton would have dealt with that all day long. Still miss the big galoot.
That knowledge clearly hasn’t made it to Serbian football academies

The best-attended Scottish Cup tie also happens to hold the European record for a domestic crowd.
147,365 supporters watched Celtic versus Aberdeen on April 24 1937.
Ah, the good old days.
No, I don't remember it.
'Mon the Dons.
Was it a 50:50 split?

Athletics and swimming are the two core events that must be included.
Could Scotstoun get some more temporary stands? Probably not enough for a 20,000 or more capacity and entry/exit might be an issue?
Don’t think there’s space at Scotstoun at either end of the track.
Realistically, the athletics would be held outside of Scotland like it was for the 2018 European Championships.

I would imagine there is now the threat that home qualifiers for USA 2026 will be played away from Hamden - just seen the news that Glasgow is a potential host for the Commonwealth games in 2026. I recall that Hampden was out of commission for about a year or so to install the raised track. Rep of Ireland game was at Parkhead and Georgia at Ibrox - just checked and see that they were after the Commonwealth games - whilst the stadium was reverting to football and track removed.
They’re saying that if Glasgow hosted it then it would be a scaled back games with fewer sports and only as a last resort.
I think they’d just use existing facilities and host the athletics elsewhere or possibly not have it at all (unlikely).

He never said it was "unimaginative".
"Elite", means one of the best in the league. For all the money you've spent I'm not sure a single one of your foreign legion fit that bill bar Miovski.
McGrath is one of the best attacking midfielders in the league.

Stuttgart one says you can view the pitch from the men's toilets. Do they mean via a tv or is this some kind of mad German stadium feature?

Not only has the system failed, they’ve also overruled the referee’s on field decision based on a guess, with the deepest defender obscured.
They didn’t even call the referee over to look at it himself.

The last part is a good point. The South Irish women benefitted hugely from embracing a smaller stadium in Tallaght, building crowds there to the point where they began to sell out tickets and made womens games an event worth going to. Results improving on the pitch helped but so did the social experience that made more people want to go. Now they've played some games at the Aviva with impressive crowds because of their momentum and folk wanting to be part of the experience.
I don't think our womens players would ever accept going to a smaller ground again and in most regardsbI probably agree with them, but it may be a short term help to build crowds and a better matchday experience. If that comes and results improve, then they could return to Hampden. Being among a 6% full Hampden cannot be enjoyable at all.
We had this to some extent with St Mirren Park. The way SWNT were going though, they had outgrown all grounds in the country under 20k. They had a few games at the Edinburgh stadiums and then went to Hampden as a move to ensure parity with the men (and a cost saving exercise since the SFA had acquired it so no rental fee).
I think there was an opportunity to grow into good five figure crowds and they did get this initially but failing to qualify for two tournaments and a dismal nations league campaign has seemingly removed any feel good factor and reduced interest. Moving to another ground may be a good option but it would be viewed as a backwards step at this stage.

Re the crowd, I might be completely wrong, but I don't get any sense the SFA do anything to promote these games other than punting out emails to people who have already paid for mens tickets.
There is absolutely no excitement for these games and even when there is eg v Ireland or England it only seems to be amongst people already with a bit of a stake in the national team.
I dont know about Ireland but it seems clear the England national team and club teams in England are getting support from people who would never usually go to men's football whereas the SFA seem happy to try and dip from the same well hence crowds QP would shrug their shoulders at.
I'd be really interested if there is a growth plan for support for the women's game.
Also highly predictable to hear the manager going on about 70% possession which might seem impressive to anyone not watching the game. Man's a fraud.
I don’t think that’s completely fair. There’s usually regular social posts for tickets on sale, I’ve seen led advertising around Glasgow for the games plenty too. I know the sfa regional staff near me help local clubs run buses to get to the games too. A huge proportion of the crowd will be young girls who play the game.
I'd say the trajectory of the team is the biggest factor. It’s also not a great experience at a mostly empty hampden either, which is a bit of a catch 22.

3000 is a terrible crowd.
For comparison, there was 32,000 at the Aviva tonight.

Ah, I see. That’s a bit unfortunate.
They apparently refuse to do reprints for Hampden tickets so AFC (and possibly other clubs) don’t offer standard delivery in case it gets lost.
Ridiculous situation. They could easily utilise the Hampden ticket app that they use for Scotland games too.

This is the problem with the player development model. By not signing before moving we won’t get a future sell on fee or decent transfer fee.
Circa 500k development fee and the standard 5% of any future fees at least.

Yep was an ideal opportunity to try out something different. Shankland isn't going to be good enough long term so could of given Mcburnie another go.
However, Clarke isn't the manager to bring in anyone different or new at this point though
Before the last Euros he brought in Adams in the March window and Gilmour, Patterson and Turnbull right before the tournament.

Said on twitter about how good the falkirk pitch looks. The livi pitch always looks like it’s soaking wet on tv.
reminds me of the old pitches at goals. Pouring the black small balls out your boots at the end of the game
I’ve heard the new Falkirk pitch has green pellets instead of black which definitely makes it look more natural.

Probably Performance Director would be the more likely role for someone like Cathro, but maybe they could expand the role to also coach the 19s (or 21s and punt Gemmil down to the 19s...or just punt Gemmil....).
The only one that is currently already in the system that seems to be doing good things is McLaughlin so he'd be worth considering, although maybe there's value in keeping him where he is as well.
An other person I thought of was Rhys McCabe - is his role at Airdrie part time? He's still to climb the job ladder so would maybe see it as a good thing to add to his CV. Been really impressed with his commitment to decent football at Airdrie and seems to already use and improve young players.
The Championship has fixtures during international breaks. I could be wrong but I think Airdrie are full time or at least hybrid.
