The impression i got was..... "Countries bidding cant vote." fullstop. Still we dont know how the bidding will be done as uefa and fifa are totally different in the way things are run. Maybe someone at the SFA can enlighten us.

It will be down to each individual vote. The panel visit Scotland/Ireland for a week from 9th Sept. They will be shown the delights of our 2 countries, wined and dined at all the best places and told that our transport system and stadia will be up to scratch by 2008.
It will then be down to each individual voter.
As for the Cypriots voting for Greece/Turkey, nae chance.
It is up to the bid team and the Scottish exec to put on a good show in Sept and convince them of our will to put on a good show. Austria/Switzerland may have better transport or other things, but it will not be down to what is best. If we can prove we can put on a show then it will be down to each individual.

Does anybody believe that Ireland will get the support from the public and politicians necessary for Euro'08 now that FAI has given two fingers the Irish supporters by selling-out to Sky?

Having just came back from the Irish holiday resort of Montemar(Torremolinos) i took the chance to quiz them about the bid and they all seemed up for it and were also of the opinion that they thought Croke Park would be made available by the G A A to support the bid.
I think there is a 70% chance of us being succesfull if we are all positive.

Can we not just bribe them anyway?.

After 2 weeks of scientific analysis, the world's greatest minds have arrived at the following percentage 'chance of us gettin 2008' equation:

(((Latitude degrees north of the southern tip of Scotland) + Latitude degrees north of the southern tip of Ireland) /2 ) + ((Latitude degrees north of the northern tip of Scotland) + Latitude degrees north of the northern tip of Ireland) /2 ))  +  (1/distance of the sun in miles * (pints per TAMB member per day until the December decision is made)).

Fir those of a non-mathematical persausion, this equation means the more swahlls we aw huv, the mair chance we huv of gettin 2008.

It works oot at aboot 54% but it increases by 1.2% each week.

So, TAMBers, if we want 2008 in Scotland, jist swahll as normal....

I'll drink to that.

I like your maths Johnny.

It now seems we should be 99.9999569% certain of winning the bid.

P.S Who's round is it ?

I'm wi you Craig, I am still extremely f***ed off wi fannybaws, Mr Spineless Traitor himself for denying us our solo bid. We all know that if the joint bid does happen then that w***er will be claiming "his hard work" paid off... we need New Labour out, its as simple as that.

(on very of very large angry rant so am off, apologies guys)

I would love to see us getting it, apart from the fact that it would do us out of a holiday that year but I can't help thinking of all the trips abroad and how good humoured the police and security staff have been with us then comparing them to the crabbit Glesgy polis and the stroppy Rock Steady Crew that take inflatables and flag sticks aff bairns.  Would we really want to inflict this on our footballing friends who already know us as the freindliest fans?
