I saw him near the McGregor statue a couple of years back and I couldn't believe he wasn't a six-four behemoth. I know people shrink, but he can't have been taller than me, and I'm nobody's idea of a strapping number nine.
Are you sure it wasn’t a perspective thing? There’s a photo of me next to the Statue of Liberty which my dad took when I was 7 and I look tiny next to it, but then there’s one from further away and I’m much bigger than it.

Now I’m 5’10 so I could probably stand next to it and look huge!

I was around 10ft from him (I'm also 5'10). It's possible he was standing in a dip.

I’m in the US and am scrabbling around trying to find a way to be able to watch the match. Went four hours without seeing a gas station in Utah a couple of days ago, going to be I. Either Wyoming or Utah on the day. We usually win when I can’t watch so maybe it’s a good thing.

Just find a sports bar and ask them to put CBS Sports channel on, most places are accommodating, especially as at that time it won’t conflict with basketball or baseball.

Yes, got 4 tickets now. Went back and forth a few times on three different devices and each time they couldn’t make their mind up if they’d sold out or not. Either a blag to sell the most expensive tickets or the clowns at Villa are running their site for them.*

TBF had no issues though the price seemed to get higher - though had to take a flyer as was going with my brother who gave a non-commital type confirmation to it.  Worse case I go on my own and he can wait for our next european final.

Still no sign of a screening at the ground?
