A little bit of everything really. Politics, Scotland, Ross County, BJJ and general stuff I think is funny.

🇩🇪🎟️ EURO 2024 TICKET INSTRUCTIONS 🎟️🇩🇪 (3 mins reading time)

📩 In the next few weeks UEFA will email you details on how to get your tickets on to your phone

🚫 Remember: all tickets are electronic through the UEFA app only, there are no paper tickets, tickets cannot be printed or downloaded as PDF, a screenshot of the ticket will not work.
Do not fall for scams!

_____
THE APP

📱 Download the official UEFA tickets app:
iphone: https://t.co/d7YZ7bJXv6
Android: https://t.co/dvEYoXPvq6

🔑 Only once you receive email stating your tickets are available, you will be asked to log in with the email address used for the purchase OR the email address that you receive a ticket transfer from a friend

🔢 You will then be emailed a registration code to enter the app & your ticket(s) should display (example screenshot attached)

_____
TRANSFER OR KEEP

🦥 Ticket distribution is done gradually (even for tickets purchased in the same order and for the same match) so you may not receive all your tickets at the same time

➡️ Each ticket will have the option to 'keep' or 'transfer' (example screenshot attached)

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 If you have multiple tickets, you do not have to 'transfer' them all to the other people (e.g. if going with your kids or someone without a smartphone), you can instead 'keep' all the tickets on your app

🚪 Everyone can enter on your smartphone - but obviously only if you are in the same section of the stadium. You will also need to enter the personal details for the other people using the tickets (do this in advance)

⛔️ SFA have stated SSC tickets are non transferable...

❓ If you get a new phone after you have downloaded your tickets (or you are letting someone else log in to your account on their phone) You MUST first log out from the UEFA tickets app on the old phone

❌ Log out: tap on “More” in the bottom right corner, then select “Log out”

📱 Then install the app on the new smartphone and log in with the same email address (you will be emailed a new registration code to enable login)

🛜 You need internet signal to download the ticket or transfer your tickets to your friends, so make sure this is done before you get to the stadium

_____
ON MATCH DAY

🌃 Ensure your phone is fully charged - kick off is 9pm local time, & your train back to the hotel might be after midnight, with your match & train ticket on your phone

🔋 If you are out all day, especially on the bevvy, please remember you will need to have charge on your phone; small power banks are allowed in the stadiums - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

🦷 have your phone Bluetooth on at the stadium &
⏲️ have phone date & time set to local time

🎟️ The above is because the QR code on your ticket - scanned at the turnstiles to enter the stadium - will only show a couple of hours before the match, when you are in the vicinity of the stadium with bluetooth on. Wrong timezone set or no bluetooth may cause you not to receive your QR code to access the ground

🛜 You don't need internet signal to enter the stadium (but DO need internet signal to download or transfer your tickets)

_____
IF LOSE PHONE/NO CHARGE

🆘 Go to ticketing Centre near the stadium from 2pm on day of the match (or day before, see opening hours in links at the end)

🆔 Bring passport, order confirmation (or email notification of transfer from a friend) & a smartphone to get the tickets on to

🛂 Check your passport expiry date (issue date less than 10 years ago & 3 months validity after you leave - details in quoted tweet)

☕️ If I've helped you in anyway and you'd like to say thanks by buying me a coffee or a couple of quid towards a stein in Munich then feel free: https://t.co/RVcn9D1Xuy ☺️

The reason London has become the worst nightmare of the hard right is very straightforward.

People from different backgrounds not only live together and mix together, but they enjoy doing so.

That's the future of Britain, which is an apocalyptic vision, sure, if you're a bigot.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

If you're on the left, the results are very heartening indeed.

- The Tories got smashed, and will lose the next election

- But this is nothing like 1997.

Labour had a 17 point lead over the Tories in the local elections before the 1997 general election.

This time, they have a 9 point lead.

Labour wasn't losing seats to parties to their left in the pre-1997 local election.

This time, Labour have haemorrhaged support to the Greens and independents.

What that underlines is a massive rejection of the Tories, but none of the enthusiasm for an opposition party set for a landslide victory of the sort on the cards for Labour.

It shows that already key parts of Labour's electoral coalition - younger people, Muslims and other minority Brits - are angry about Keir Starmer's leadership.

That's before he's even prime minister and actually enacting policies which anger people - like continued austerity, or complicity in war crimes, for example.

There is already a constituency of people in Britain who are actively rejecting Starmerism from the left.

That will only grow when Labour is in power. So the task of the left is to build on this base - and then build from there when Labour is in office.

Fucking scumbags. And it’ll all be because he signed for Hearts.

[Ross County FC @RossCounty]

Club Statement - Yan Dhanda

In the 30th minute of today’s match, Yan Dhanda was subject to alleged racial abuse from a Hibernian fan.

Ross County FC and Hibernian have worked with Police Scotland to identify the male suspect, who has now been detained.

There is no place for this in our game or society as a whole.

The club will be making no further comment at this time.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Let me get this straight. Biden gives Israel a blank cheque, which it uses not only to slaughter civilians in Gaza for six months, but to bomb the Iranian consulate in Damascus, a very grave violation of international law.

US intelligence tells Biden this risks triggering a catastrophic regional war, so Biden publicly vows to protect Israel at all costs, whatever it continues to do to inflame the crisis further.

Does it not look like a depraved sociopath occupies the White House, one prepared to play a game of chicken with others' – maybe even our – lives? Because that's sure how it looks to me.

[C.O.Double.G @JRCoggs]

@Jailender Have we become that bad defensively that people are actually glad to see Baldwin back? Fuck me we’re getting relegated!!

[C.O.Double.G @JRCoggs]

@gerags99 Dude, you might get lucky. Did you reply to the Halifax text yesterday? I got confirmation just there that they’d tried again and it had gone through. Maybe worth emailing ticketmaster Spain explaining and asking to charge again before public sale.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Both the judge and the CPS concluded that anti-trans hatred partly explains Brianna Ghey's hideous murder.

So much of Britain's media and political elite have dehumanised trans people.

They should reflect on the fact that trans people are humans, and words have consequences.

[Jailender @Jailender]

Transfer deadline days are never going to peak the year County signed Ruben Palezuelous and it was found out because he showed up on Tinder before it was announced

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Why did the International Court of Justice accept all of South Africa's arguments but not order Israel to end its genocidal military assault on Gaza?

Because it dared not take on the real culprit: the US. Biden would have been forced to wield his veto at the Security Council to block enforcement.

Identifying Washington as the sponsor of genocide marked the limit of the World Court's courage.

[Billy Bragg @billybragg]

Never understood how anti-trans women who claim to be feminists are happy to stand with misogynists, wife beaters, anti-abortionists, men’s rights activists and the far right so long as those individuals are vocally anti-trans.

[C.O.Double.G @JRCoggs]

Please take onboard the feeling in the room @SSCMembers . You have an opportunity here to fix this and introduce a fair system to distribute these.

[C.O.Double.G @JRCoggs]

@tomdearie Shambolic: yes.
Unexpected: unfortunately not.
Easily rectified: yes.
SSC response: no chance

[C.O.Double.G @JRCoggs]

@Whattheactuali2 @MattySHS_ @AboutScotlandd @scotlandscoeff1 No it doesn’t. You’ll find most of those teams will qualify automatically so coming second or even third in the group is likely to still get you a play off spot.
