They wouldn't actually let fans near the stadium, and didn't have any static trophy lift at the town hall, because of fears of a crush

Friends and family only on the stadium concourse & the bridge, then out onto Drayton Park where it was residents only (massive gates at Holloway Rd) and then through the gates and OMG!

An interesting article on today's Guardian on the World Cup. Personally I hope the whole tournament is a complete flop. I refuse to watch on TV as my protest against FIFA and the American government.

World Cup not interested at all this time round.

 

[AndyRM]

I'm only interested because Scotland will be there.

It's just a shame that after successfully boycotting tournaments hosted by dodgy nations, we've chosen this one to attend.

We'll probably end up beating Brazil, drawing with Morocco and losing to Haiti.

Still, I'm chuffed for Steve Clarke, a legend in his time at Killie, and regardless of what happens must surely be regarded as the most successful national manager of all time.

The ghost of Willie Ormond would like a word.

I get that.

But Clarke has got us to two Euros as well.

TV is certainly the safest way to watch the world cup.
If footballers like Switzerlands' Breel Embolo are in difficulty getting there, god help actual supporters planning on going.

Montreal are very happy with their decision to pull out of being a host city.
They specifically mentioned FIFA's demands along with T&Cs as being the prime reason.

More that NZ are hapless. On a roll they look a very hard test for Scotland.
