  1. Idles were outstanding last night. It was a massive venue - 16000 capacity - but they pulled it off. A 2 hour set, the standing crowd was totally bouncing, I was quite glad to be watching from up above.

  2. I landed in Berlin this evening. Check in and security staff were on strike but thankfully incoming flights were unaffected. From joining the passport queue to being allowed in only took 3 minutes. 
     

    Currently enjoying a Burgermeister then heading for a couple of beers around Mitte. Idles gig tomorrow night with some sightseeing during the day and potentially a lower league football match. 
     

    I love this city.

    It's obviously got to 8 points. It's sticking me in a queue now if I try to log in (I'm on 8 points)

    Massive queue due to the public sale starting at 10am. 
     

    I got into the system ok having been put in a queue at about 10 to 10. Picking seats is awkward on a phone, I kept having seats added to my order when I tried to move the map. A bit fiddly but I managed to get Portugal tickets, the checkout and adding my son for the second ticket was easy enough. 

  4. I’ve just booked to see Idles in Berlin next month. I’ve had the urge to see them for a while and didn’t fancy the Hydro in November so decided a European trip would be fun.

    Noticed on sportscene it’s still sadlers that do the catering. McLaren Baker birdies a lot better 

    McLarens is where I got mine as Sadlers had none left - presumably as they’d sent them all to Station Park.

    We have the best ground in the lower leagues.....on a normal league game we are a 360 ground, one of only 2 in the leagues.

    I wish there were more 360 grounds. I went to Arbroath once and walked the whole way round, it was brilliant seeing the home fans change ends at half time. 

  7. Hibs were murder in the first half, don’t know how Forfar weren’t a couple of goals up by half time. Second half was better, our subs made a difference and we could have had at least one more. 
     

    The day on the whole was very enjoyable, it’s what the cup is all about. Station Park is a decent ground, one I’ve never been to before and possibly won’t be at again. The bridie before the game was good but I still prefer a steak pie. 
     

    Nice to hear the home fans giving Douglas Ross so much abuse. 

  8. FC Copenhagen 1-2 Aarhus

    We’re on a family holiday in Copenhagen, so I took the opportunity to take my youngest son to a local game. Copenhagen have been setting the pace in the Danish Superliga this season, but have stumbled recently, and Brondby’s win earlier in the day meant that FCK kicked off in second place. They were still there at full time thanks to two goals from corners which Copenhagen defended horrendously, and some excellent work from Aarhus’s goalkeeper. Copenhagen had two goals correctly disallowed for offside, and despite having the huge majority of possession and chances, couldn’t take anything from the game. 
    It was a great experience for both me and the wee man - we barely ever travel to away matches, never mind foreign games - impressive stadium, good atmosphere in both ends, and very easy to get to on public transport. Man of the match was Elias Achouri, a Tunisian winger who looked dangerous on the attack and got FCK’s goal.

  9. Billy Bragg at the Usher Hall was absolutely superb tonight. A 2 hour set covering his career, with plenty of anecdotes and politics in between songs. For the encore he did the first album in all its 17 minute glory. A glorious night.

    Manics and Suede at Edinburgh Castle next July looks well worth seeing. Never been to a gig at the Castle so hope I can get tickets.

    I got tickets for that this morning, I’ve seen both bands several times before and it should be a great night. Glad now that I didn’t make the trip to the US for their joint tour last year. 
     

    I’ve never been to a gig at the castle either so not quite sure what to expect.
