Thank God.

Dodds saying on BBC that they are close to a deal on his extension and he’s talking about recruiting for next year.

Some thoughts:

Thought we set up far too defensive in the first half. Didn’t seem to be an out ball at any point. Kyogo’s movement for the goal was sublime.

Second half was much better. Pressed more, had some players make runs. Second goal was just stupid to concede though, two rash challenges that took players out of position.

If you are going to score a goal in a final, a diving header in the sun is one way to do it.

I’ll need to see the third again, but looked like comical defending.

Was great to see what I thought was a strong outing for the support. But I can’t see us doing well with crowds next year if that’s the football on offer. We resorted to hoof ball a lot.

I'm currently sitting waiting to go on the 08:15 Easyjet from the international.

I hope it’s less mad than this ferry. 

Anyone on the 0730 ferry from Belfast?

Finished 3-1.

Second half got very scrappy, few stood out but nothing spectacular. First half was much fine, definitely need to be better then that otherwise Celtic will spank us.

Was good to get to see the lads plays again. Looked like we had almost as many fans as Dungannon there.

Your #8 for Dungannon isn’t aware this is a friendly I don’t think.

Anybody actually going to the European game ?

Aye, not often I can get to a game so I’ll pop up from Down for it

Happy days. Less than an hour down the road for me. At least there will be 1 ICT fan in attendance.

Two of us, I’ll probably come across from Downpatrick to watch it

Someone showed me some funny footage on Facebook of the team in high spirits on Auchterader High St - I think they were replicating a song and dance Liverpool did recently. Can anyone get it on here?

None that I saw. Walked from the Stadium back to town. Lots of depressed looking Falkirk buses passed, but no trouble

I've been told that there are no sizes over XXL left, very few available and none available in Victoria Centre shop.

The League Cup ones were aye

It's looking like the Montford and the Beechwood are likely to be booked out with the arriving coach parties, so any suggestions for a city centre venue for those of us flying in and getting the train out of Glasgow Central?

Hootenanny on St Enoch is good

That's a shame. Guess I won't see you guys pre match then

Well there could always be an exchange of bands or a wee fee fer a personal appearance ?

Will probably stick to The Hoot at St Enochs before the game. God Knows where I will be after

Are the Errea strip sizes still funny or have they fixed them to normal people's sizes?

That's a shame. Guess I won't see you guys pre match then

 

We have also been selling tickets in I2

Have we sold out I3 then?

 

I have no idea. I2 were on sale from the start to season ticket sellers.

We have also been selling tickets in I2

Do you know if they be available online?

That's what I am wondering seeing as I live in NI.

Any further updates CaleyD?

Ticket sales may be a 'distraction' for Charlie Bannerman but they are of interest to many other fans. Good ticket sales builds interest and can produce a snowball effect. Good on Falkirk for releasing their numbers today, I wish we were not so anal about releasing sales figures

Wholeheartedly agree. Club should publish the progress of CF ticket sales.

We are a small fan base club and should be open about this. I feel that the fairweather fans wil relish the glory on the day but for whatever reason don't/won't go TCS for the less "glamorous" league games.

I would love to go to as many home games (and away games) as possible, but personal circumstances dictate otherwise. I think you will find that there will be a lot of fans who used to go to matches but for whatever reason are now living overseas who are making a trip especially for this game.

If you are suggesting that there was an element of glory hunting to a lot of fans going to the final, I think you should be careful in alienating them.

Doesn't he have a habit of sending our players off?

Willie Collum announced as the ref.

Balls

I can't believe I am actually angry that I'm missing these games
