That'll show them.

In fairness, $180 might only be 60p by next summer once Trump invades Venezuela.

Scandalous allocation for 65k stadiums

Apparently FIFA take 10,000 of the tickets for sponsors, media etc and 8% allocation comes from that reduced capacity. SFA then about take 500 tickets leaving rest for fans. 
 

Prices are really making me seriously considering not going. 

@OrlandoDon pal, see if I go to the Brazil game, I fancy popping along to see the Kennedy Space Centre while in that part of the world.

Apparently there's no public transport and the tour buses take like two hours. Any chance you could just give me a lift?

Sop to the masses. Or not. About 400 cheaper tickets for each match. Hope they end up in the most loyal hands.

The pitch? Bloody yanks.

The First Minister is proposing that Monday June 15th be made a Bank Holiday in Scotland so that people can stay up to watch us play Haiti at 2 am the previous night.

He just needs to ask the King (Charlie, nae Joey).

The King should tell him to piss off. (Not just for this, obviously)

The ban for Morocco and Brazil are just work and immigration visas at the moment but tourist visas will be allowed under certain circumstances. Haitians are banned completely. Iranians are also banned from all travel to U.S. In the past that would have been enough to trigger FIFA into action but not now as they genuinely do not give a fuck about fans attending the games. 
 

With the Poundland Mussolini now threatening tarrifs on anyone who does not support his annexation of Greenland there is a fair chance the number of other countries being added to his shit list.

They will have exemptions according to article I read. 

If you want to watch Scotland in a pub in Aberdeen, then you can. The council has granted licenses for the pubs to stay open.

FIFA talking of lifting Russia’s ban.

Probably Haiti 

Edit: or Canada, who will just be subsumed into the US side.

If that happens, international football can well and truly get fucked.

Deid rat in the post please, to this poory-informed patronising prick and his attempt to comment on terracing mass-participation in today’s Scotsman. What a fucking roaster. Stick to rugby for fuck’s sake. Booooooooooo…

Best fitba chants ever? The huns, I’m afraid, when they took the Piglets’ ‘Johnny Reggae’ - it was really Jonathan King in late 1971 - as a basis for their:

”Johnny Johnny Greigy, he’ll break your fucking leggy” 

and ourselves, when Davie Dodds scored a late winner for us at Fir Park:

”Davie Dodds, Davie Dodds, you’re not ugly anymore”.
