FFS how many reporters will they need for that? 🫣

Aye, the excitement is building. Mrs Faraway kitted out our garden room, my Scotland top is ready. My plan is to get to bed tomorrow night about 8pm, set the alarm for 1am, head out. When I get back to bed depends on the result. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just driving around and seeing all the houses decked out in saltire bunting and flags is adding something special in the build up to our first game. Can't wait 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A special extra long programme on BBC Scotland tonight to bring us all the latest from Boston. Can't wait, might see some people I know. Starts at 6:30 for a full hour. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

McTominay has a wee bit of a bug but will be ok dokie for Sunday. The excitements building, all over social media, making me regret not really giving it a thought to go.

Ragin.

Just the answer you usually give when you lose. Another pointless emoji. Your go to hide. ANd you didn't even take time to read so you knew you were going to get shot down.

Panic over, it's back.

Naw, Shakira's too busy.

Do we get 3 opening ceremonies this time round? Wondered if there would be a bit of a hooha for each of the host nations.

Facebook down, whatever next?

Strips for Sunday

£50 for an adult Main or West stands

Cheers. Reason I was asking is the difference in Arbroath ST's before and after is only £10 albeit top price is £305 in the stand and £285 on the terrace.

Depending on age and what stand then between £30 and £65 from TF stand to padded seats in main stand ( not very padded now though).

The opening ceremony contained both Illuminati & Satanic symbols, all we need now is aliens to beam down during the trophy presentation. Apparently it wasn't the Real Shakira - good name for a team though!

It seems that Boston isn't really prepared or aware of the numbers of Scottish supporters, not to mention Haiti supporters, who are descending on the city. The mayor, bless her, looked, and sounded, a bit bewildered. Many of the locals are totally unaware of the world cup and haven't realised why thousands of men in kilts are taking over pubs and singing weird songs. 😂 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@faraway saint No, you were right about the Belfast rioters, they were mainly from the Unionist side altho there was some co-operation from Republicans. ********************* On the X-Box warriors we seem to be training them young. Go Pikachu!

Out of interest, what's the saving if you fork out for the early offer and if you wait for a wee while?

It wasn't overly scientific so it's probably slightly more than a stab in the dark On the defence issue, when John Healey was on the telly I found his view, albeit, as you say, from a biased viewpoint, straightforward and pretty sensible. I'd imagine most of us see any war as a far away () scenario so it's not particularly worrying and we can all sit back and chomp on our cornflakes with little real concern. While the chances are probably slim we, the UK, would see any "action" on our shores I'd like to think, if required, we could handle ourselves, without totally relying on our allies. Tech is becoming a bigger part of modern warfare but we're far away from X-box warriors being the only participants. Oh, I said a few years ago Russia would never invade Ukraine so I'm way down the league on predicting any wars.
