Shows what a great fan you are... it was 1-1!!

Exactly. There will be fans out there who use their spare cash to go to the football, and won't be able to afford the DNA membership. They could potentially lose out on big game away tickets because they don't necessarily have the spare cash for DNA. It's only £12 or £18 or whatever for a lot of folk, but for some folk that will be an amount too far. Should they be penalised for that, in spite of their loyalty to the club? It's an utter shambles that AFC have mixed the two schemes together. The club know who the most loyal fans are, the ones who go home and away. Regardless of anything else, they are the ones who should be offered first refusal of match tickets.

Good man SeeBass.

I think your mate has made a great point there SeeBass. It could turn out to be one of the great nights of Scottish Football (either one of them) and if we got a result you would love it. I'm not going to make it to either match as I'm away on holiday, if you can get yourself to Pittodrie sing your heart out. The boys need your support, sing them home SeeBass.

Agree Jute, think you're spot on with that. Got a few bucks on them getting there and a few more on Colombia. Maguire and Young on the wrong side against Cuadrado...? Surely there's only one winner? We'll see on Tuesday.

I'll be taking Colombia to win. Very good on the break, Cuadrado has been very good for them, attacking down the right on to Maguire's side (if they play 3 at the back again) will cause England a lot of issues - Maguire is a right footed centre half playing on the left of the three, against decent opposition that will become more of an issue. Their midfield isn't good enough either. Would imagine Quintero will boss them. England really need a passer in midfield.

That's yer Tom Widdows for you. He has a bit of a rep as a rowdy beery fight type chap. He's on here, ask him for a refund. ps. are beer fights just fights using beer? Seems a waste to me.

Glasgow and West hasn't gone for a number of years... must have had quite the effect on you.

It had fallen away way before that was announced. Cracking player on his day, but we never saw his day enough since the turn of the year. Don't think he'll be missed.

The biggest issue above. The technique of our players is, by and large, absolutely shite. Doesn't matter where you're born, if you're lacking in the fundamental skills of the game you will obviously struggle against those who master them. It has been a long, long time since Scotland have had a player who could even think about touching the likes of Modric in terms of technique.

Aye duff info, apologies. As you were.

Aaron McGowan, 21 year old right back, joining under freedom of contract. Was with Morecambe.

Most enjoyable thing about the Croatia game was actually seeing two midfielders in Modric and Rakitic doing a midfielder's job. Up and down the park, controlling the game, switching play, getting on top of the opposition. Feel as though it's the first time in the World Cup we've seen a proper midfielder's performance; the two of them were superb.

They've been trying to do it for years. I'm not sure why they think it's a good idea, but added to the DNA loyalty points nonsense, it's clear they want customers and not fans these days.

It's outwith your control SeeBass, so don't be too disappointed - we'll get the foreign opposition you crave in the next round. In the meantime i think it's a good way of us seeing how good we are - we're obviously more familiar with Burnley and the league they play in so it's easier to gauge than against the likes of Rijeka, Groningen etc.

We've never played them before! Great opportunity for McInnes to put himself in the shop window....

Alex Scott is good. "Half wit" for Lawrenson is too kind to the monotonous cunt. Why could he not work out that it was a penalty because after the defender had played the ball, Griezman had played it and there was then contact - different phase of play. The boy has the easiest/cushiest/nicest job in the world - watch live football in different places across the world, in the biggest sporting events in the world and he's still a miserable prick who gives off the impression that he hates the game even more than he hates his sorry self. The prick also seems to forget that he played for Ireland, not England.

I think it's allowed. Don't mistake being told that people think you're a cunt, for being told you're not allowed to voice your opinion. You seem to hate everyone and everything that isn't from Aberdeen and isn't straight. That, to me, isn't normal. I genuinely don't care where anyone is from, or who they want to be with (within obvious reason), but it's entirely up to yourself and absolutely is your right to voice your thoughts. The fact I, or anyone else, doesn't agree with you doesn't mean we're the thought police or it's "PC gone mad" or any other shite like that. It just means we're voicing our thoughts, exactly as you're doing.

That not the sort of thing that repulses you..?? Took Spain some weeks ago to win, don't expect that to happen now. Top scorer bets: Griezman, Jesus and Muller, was pretty delighted i got 33/1 for Muller.

Thought I'd join after the first game to give you all a head start and a bit of a chance...

He's ours. He was out of contract with Hamilton this summer. The compensation isn't because he was under contract but because of the development fee they are due.

McGrain was injured for that tournament otherwise he'd have played, bit bizarre the programme never mentioned it.

Didn't do a very good job of keeping them personal in the end there. You probably should have, however. Couldn't care less if any of our players or opposition players are gay (and some will be, of course).

This is about the development fee though, not a transfer fee. Hamilton are due what it cost to develop the player, not what they believe he's "worth" in the transfer market when he's under contract etc. If Hamilton are suggesting it cost them £900k to develop Ferguson then surely we'd be asking for proof of that? And also asking how on earth they are surviving if it costs that much to develop one player...

Yes, that was pretty much it. Tongue was partly in cheek, but was a nod to the number of players who called off this time due to tiredness etc, I bet they wouldn't have been tired if it was a World Cup they were going to.
