Try that mate not sure how to add pics

 

Cheers marra, I couldnt find that anywhere

 

Only know because we booked our hotel for the weekend just incase ha

 

Exactly what I am looking for, hope I have to cancel it

 

Got my ticket. Got tickets for me and the boy for Wednesday too! Ha’way

 

Buzzing for this one, hoping for a fast start! Can’t let teams settle. Good news about Browne coming back, serious options now. Assume we’ll see even less of Milan now,

 

Great write up @RTB. take a bow.

Agree with your team. It is one of those games where we need to be on the front foot - attacking all match long. We can win this comfortably as long as complacency doesn't creep in.

4-1

Hawaaaaaaaay

 

I am being very selfish here but like the early kick off as it means I can watch match at a reasonable time here 20:30, otherwise I am up 11:00 for 2 hours then back to sleep ready for work.
I get that for most early kick of is inconvenient but for me is loads better.

 

It benefits me in a convoluted way.

It means leaving home tomorrow evening and staying in a Newcastle hotel, which I booked in advance for only £30.

Because I have time to get to Edinburgh, from home, and back on Friday and Saturday it means I can get the free bus rather than the train.

The Edinburgh - Newcastle return is cheaper because of the times, so the 'hotel' option works out cheaper.

All of which means

 

Let's hope we don't have to go a goal down before we pick up the pace.
I think the atmosphere might be canny for a change, a lot of fans are on a bit of a high after Mondays comeback.
I know I will be 'garn owa' with a spring in my step.

4.30am start here but all worth it when we win!

 

every evening kick off for me is an early morning start but the pisser for me is I leave for work at 04:45 in morning so only get to see first half as 20:00 kick of in UK is 04:00 in morning here at minute, until clocks change in UK then difference is only 7 hours. so kick off is 03:00 so get to see all of the game.
I have seen every game this season which can be difficult but who said being a supporter is easy ehh!

 

I’m guessing you may live in the same part of the world as me. A 2000hrs kick off means 0400hrs for me. If I’m honest unless I’m working day shifts then I won’t get up to watch. I like my sleep too much!
