Spyro Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 17 minutes ago, Hedgecutter said: The Spain Vs Croatia scoreboard having Spain in Spanish (ESP) but Croatia in English (CRO) rather than Croatian. Consistency people! Should it not be HRV or something like that? Did they have Germany as GER? (G for Germany!? If you know, you know) Never noticed but it's going to annoy me now you've mentioned it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's genuinely going to be watching this game and think "wtf is this SPA / SPN playing in the standard Spanish colours?" If Albania get ALB later, which could easily be Alba, then all hell will break loose. Edited June 15 by Hedgecutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I think there's an agreed upon standard that's been decided for every game(across sports as well I believe) so that every nation always use the same letters. I guess that when these don't make sense in local language then local broadcasters may change 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week it was showing as "Low Availabilty" on Ticketmaster, so I bought the ticket when I didn't really have the money for it. Two days later the "Low Availabilty" label had disappeared. Hate Ticketmaster. Still says there's Limited Availability for another show at The Cathouse... It's been sold out for two weeks But because I couldn't get tickets and subsequently need a gig for July I may take a chance on a random cheap one by bands called "The Rarely Social" ,"Alpha Signal" and "Exploding Onions". Oh, and if/when I buy that ticket it'll be from Tickets Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 21 hours ago, MazzyStar said: When have films ever been factual? Watch a documentary if you’re that bothered. It's a film that openly claims to be closely based on historical events - not Star Wars or some other fantasy shite - that inverts the actual factual basis to create a worse plot. The actual story of the Churchill government being formed and getting through May 1940 has more authentic interest and drama than the white hat, black hat horseshit invented by a film director. It's like having a cook take fresh salad vegetables and then boiling them in a pot for 10 hours to do something different. Taking a selection of the authentic facts and recreating the drama that actually existed would make the film better. And also stop it adding to the weirdo British fetish cult for Churchill and the Royal Family, which is not exactly working out well IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt Caley Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I bought a Viaplay subscription this time last year as they done a deal for a year for £60. Worth it for the Scotland games etc. I cancelled it so it didn’t renew and just assumed Premier Sports would follow the same account settings when it all transferred over to them. I was incorrect and I’ve had £80 taken out my account today, bloody wonderful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
