Anyone got a rubber ring to throw into the Deep end for Tess? 🙄

Heart and Hand

Scotland's greatest sportsman. Could Andy Murray win Wimbledon after 16 pints of heavy and 80 Embassy Regal? No chance!

Mark Harvey

I had no idea that standard match tickets for Braga were £59. That's outrageous. As far as I'm concerned these are bonus matches. Its either pure greed or something more concerning financially. I wouldn't be surprised if some seats were left empty at those prices. No need for it to be more than £50.

Martin Davies

Our tickets are always priced at the higher end. I don't think I've ever been surprised with a ticket being priced less than I expected. This Euro campaign is the equivalent of another season ticket. But at least we don't have the additiona cost of cup replays like we had back in 2008.

Steve Clark

Add the booking fee and a ticket for a non season ticket holder will be £60.by all means reward the season ticket holders with a cheaper price for a ticket but the mark up for non season ticket holders on this one is wrong.£5 extra is fine but over £10 of a difference is wrong for me

Mark McCook

Not just the semi that Ulster bears risk missing. No p&o boat for this Sunday meaning hundreds of fans not getting to the game.

Paul Kerr

Ramsey should be starting on Sunday if he can. My biggest criticism of Aribo would be that he never really makes an impact v them. He should be bossing Old Firms, he's more than capable. Re: Ticketing. I think the 3 ticket package for the 1st Champions League cost us about £60 and some people really lost their shit over it. Supply/demand size of occasion, i get all that but everything beyond Dortmund is a bonus financially. Nearly £30 for a kid on a season ticket is far too steep. I'd be more sympathetic towards the Club's attitude to making money if they didn't waste so much and fail to capitalize on so much more.

Andrew Hind

Well said Tess we all have enough to pay for without having to pay obscene prices for football, maybe board could think of fans and not profit...for once

Graham Vauls

It's a nightmare especially for the North Ulster supporters as we use P&O all the time. There's at least three 52 seaters not getting to go and unless they sail soon the semi and braga could be out the window also.

Ewan White

It's great news Colombia are out of the WC (if Alfie doesnt leave us). Could have ended up with a trip to Australia in the middle of June for a playoff game.

Steff Clarke

£59 ($120) for one game!?! I pay $200 (£200) for my entire season ticket for Wellington Phoenix in the A League! That's i same, fair enough we only have a 12 team league, so it's only 22 game season plus play-offs and cup games. We are the only team in world football who can't play in the confederations competition (Champions League, etc.) as an Oceania country (New Zealand) playing in the Asian confederation (Australia) so paying for the equivalent of European games can never happen, but if they tried to charge $120 for a game, I'd never go anyway!

Gary campbell

£76 for me and ma pals daughter who is 15 a expected the £48 for the adult £28 for a kid is ridiculous

Tamus

Thank you for the triffic shout out for Martin.

Tamus

In the follow follow link above you can read Martin's Daily Diary of his walk. My feet hurt just reading it

John Palmer

Was it just me or was the recording messed up and kept dropping out and goin silent or just spluttering? I checked the stream and it seemed to tick on and not jump all over the place.

Fraser Ritchie

Really hope Ramsey starts. Jack lundstram Ramsey in the middle. Either aribo or arfield on the right side of Alfie for me

Gary Brown

Always enjoy the update as my day doesn't allow for much twitter patroling. As for the ticket prices, reckon the £48 for ST holders is fair enough - I reckon we were over charged for Dortmund as it was expected to be our last. Steep for non-ST but big game hunters are unfortunately 'caught over a barrel' pay or someone else will.

Graeme Homer

I think Tess should remember the MILLONS of pounds that the board member have put in and still put in to our club to get to this point and further before complaining about ticket prices and saying that only see us a pound signs. It’s time for fans to face upto how football is and where they want us to be. Do you want a winning team domestically and European runs, then it’s gonna cost us especially with the new ffp rules coming in.

Kirk Guthrie

really appreciated Tess' rant on this one. very well said
