I'm hoping to get to Inter - Juve in April next year. It's the other half's birthday, so she'll be treated to a trip to Milan. Happy coincidence, this game is. Anyone been to similar games know how to go about getting tickets? Their website seems to suggest they're not selling anything of any description just now. Any help hugely appreciated.

Because I've no life, I've seen games at Inverurie, Banks o Dee, East End, Montrose and Cologne so far this season. Only seen my own team once :(

I'm only on Morton, Queen's Park and Ayr this season so far. That's not too many for a change! :lol:

After Morton (H/A), Aston Villa (H), Queen's Park (H/A), Ayr (H), East Stirlingshire (H), Stenhousemuir (A), Dunfermline (H), Hearts (H) and Spartans (H) last season!

I went to Milan v Inter a few years ago and was able to order online and collect at San Siro on the day easily enough. This was for Milan's home game though so Inter may be different.

It will be a cracking gamewith a wonderful atmosphere and I'm well jealous.

I'm hoping to see Bayern Munich at the Allianz sometime in February.

Not going to, but was at the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup Final at RFK Stadium in Washington a few weeks ago, DC United taking on Seattle Sounders.

Couple of familiar names playing, Kasey Keller and Freddie Ljungberg, ticket prices cut to $18 to try and drum up a crowd and about 20,000 turned up, including around 200 Seattle fans.

Pretty poor game that needed a goal to get it going, unfortunately it didn't arrive until 20 minutes to go, Seattle taking a deserved lead. One of the DC United defenders wasn't too happy about this and stamped on the goalscorer as he lay on the ground, having been injured in the process of scoring.

Red card and arguments with anyone and everyone as he sulked his way off the pitch, Seattle scored another with DC getting one back on the 90 minute mark, but despite the ref finding over six minutes injury time from somewhere, DC couldn't get a equaliser.

The next batch of German fixtures have now been announced.

Not surprisingly, St Pauli are away to Rostock-scum on a Monday night - the same week we are over there to play hsv.

Will have a think about it, but at the moment I am for going to the Rostock-scum game. Fly back Tuesday, then back over two days later.

I have been invited over to Tel-Aviv by a Hapoel comrade to take in their derby against Maccabi. Far too much on this year to manage but may next year for the away game.

Little wonder you can't fit all this football into your busy political schedule, Mr Galloway.

Confirmed that I am going to see St Pauli take on Rostock.

Unbelievably, the game has been scheduled for 8.15pm on a Monday night. The reasoning being that they think less fans are likely to go or if they do, not participate in bother like the last two times, as many will have work the next day!! Imagine that reasoning being applied on these shores for such a volatile day. :rolleyes:

Public transport is out for the game due to the late kick-off, however St Pauli fans are running a special supporters train.

It’s going to be some experience..........add to that the hsv days after and a trip to Vienna. Can hardly wait for them.

Going down to Manchester next weekend to see City take on Burnley. I might use this as a humanitarian expedition to see how the locals are getting their lives back on track after the 'orrible 'uns' visit 18 months or so ago.

Also a nice chance to watch Fletcher hideously out of his depth in the flesh rather than feeling embarassed for him on the telly.

I reckon you should shout out Fletcherwatch-esque lines(particularly the kind of thing mhak would post, statistics et al), all in a normal "fan shouting from the terraces" voice any time he does something.

Was at the Levadia Tallinn - FC Flora derby a few weeks back whilst doing some travelling in the Baltics.

The game was played in the Kardirou Stadium(where Scotland once kicked off against no one after Estonia never turned up) and Levadia won 1-0 despite being reduced to 10 men after a few minutes.

A decent enough game, shame that Levadia were so far ahead in the league(they are now 59 matches unbeaten) as neither set of fans really seemed up for it, especially given that it was a derby match.

Hoping to get back to Prague in a couple of months for another Slavia game and will try and catch PSG when I'm over in Paris too,

Went to the Hansa Rostock vs St Pauli game on Monday night.

A fine victory for St Pauli but one of their players has just been banned for three matches after making a cut throat gesture to the Rostock fans after scoring.

After the first goal, St Pauli fans fired flares into the Rostock area that was filled with Nazi boneheads. Game got stopped for a bit but then went ahead again.

After the game we were kept behind for over an hour as Rostock fans battled with the police in an attempt to get at us. Over 25 polis ended up injured. Massive police escort for us back to our special trains.

Meanwhile in Scotchland we have supporters crying about another set of supporters standing up at games. :rolleyes:

Sounds like a good experience. Would love to take in a MLS game at some point. You mentioned that only 200 Seattle fans turned up, it hadnt occured to me the distances involved in the MLS - I know the are split East and West but must still be huge and away support would always be very slim.

I wonder if this has an affect on the home team winning more than in other leagues where there is a bigger travelling support...

Sounds mental. Proper European rivalry!

Dundee derby on Tuesday night. I am being slowly coersed into following the dark blues by a mate of mine. Am I right in saying this match is being played....to celebrate new floodlights?

:huh:

A tad random. And also random that I am attending, as I technically support neither team.
