Was intimated to any of us who were in Tbilisi that we'd be sorted for Glasgow only for most of us to be shafted by the FAI ... huge shit storm brewing for Delaney

Agree 100% that those who travel should get priority, I'd be furious.Don't mind being in with the Scots as I suspect most will be Celtic fans cheering Ireland anyway.Good seat in lower section of North Stand!

If you make it over do have a look at the paving stone bearing my name at the main entrance to Celtic Park, near the foot of Jock Stein statue!

Main Street

It's my sole remaining worthwhile goal in life to make the trip to paradise and have my photograph taken by that piece of stone.
I suspect many here would be of a similar mind but perhaps would differ in what they like to do on that piece of stone.
I suspect Tony has to attend to the stone with an intense scrubbing brush deep cleansing, every time he attends Celtic Park.

See where Steve Bruce is waxing lyrically about Robbie Brady's perf at left back on Saturday where he says Robbie 'didn't give rahem sterling a kick of the ball'

Maybe a potential left back for mon ?
Could be very Coleman-esque as he is quick and superb going forward!

Looking forward to this battle of the ex Celtic managers,with two evenly matched sides, though it's a far cry from the last time Ireland played a competitive game in Glasgow with a side which included Lawrenson,Mc Grath,Whelan,Stapleton

FAI are a joke, as are the Scottish FA. Why did they only award us 3000 when there letting Irish fans buy from there website? Where did you get your accommodation sorted ballinaman? We had to settle for a hotel 5 mile outa glasgow, seems decent, cheap as chips.(Best Western Garfield House)
Hope ther will be a few Irish staying in it, hope we dont regret staying at the airport hotels.

I see there are still tickets available  and some restricted to Irish fans area Lisbon Lions stand uppr and maybe elsewhere

But maybe having a green dot on the seat doesn't mean it's restricted to Irish supporters

Visitors please respect those pieces of stone engraved with Tony's name.

The Scottish FA can at least operate a points system for away tickets whereby regular away travellers have first dibs on tickets. The FAI clearly aren't able to do that or just couldn't be bothered. Some way to treat your regular customers.

I thought usually the away supporters were allowed to have about 9% of the allotted tickets, but I see the home association are only required  by the regulations to make 5% of their tickets available for visiting fans.
Even the FAI can't do miracles.
Is there not ia system of sorts that the FAI operate for fans wanting tickets to the away games and for sure a supporter who made the trip to Georgia shouldn't have a VIP priority over somebody else who has been going to away games for years.

There isn't a proper system. It's nudge nudge, wink wink. Pretty much all the regular away travellers (and I'm not including myself in that as I'd usually only do one away trip per campaign), people who have gone to Georgia, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Russia, summer friendlies in the US etc have been shafted. That kind of stuff is not on.
