    Looking at other fixtures and going to plan Spain will play in Glasgow against a 3rd place team.

    It is a bit unfair that the likes of England, Germany et al play all their group games at their national stadiums. Although understand it because of logistics and sponsorship money, gate receipts etc.

    I'm not mad on this new format,preferred it in one country even two at a push,will prove very expensive for the average Joe,take for example if Rep. of Ireland qualify:
    2 group games in Dublin
    1 group game in Bilbao
    last 16 in Budapest.
    That's serious expense and travel which will be the case for most teams.

    Not sure how Hampden will be with Scotland not looking likely to qualify. To be fair, might not have been full even if they did qualify.

    Think a tactical second place would make sense, save our best for the final at Wembley.

    You'd have to be more simple than my mates @Mick O'Toon and @Mind The Duck put together not to go for 2nd place in the group.


    I like Mick and Mindy (maybe Robin Williams should have named a TV programme after them?)

    Yeah, that’s not really the demographic UEFA are pitching for these days. Bunch of lads in a camper van probably won’t be paying hundreds each for a ticket.
