    A decade on from being the first European side to be eliminated from World Cup qualifying contention, it would be fitting if we are the first team (apart from hosts Germany) to qualify for the euros.

     

    As mentioned on other threads we can wrap it up in September with a win in Cyprus, Spain beat Georgia and Norway draw with Georgia.

     

    If we win in Cyprus but Georgia lose both September games then we can clinch in October with either a win in Spain, Norway lose to Spain or both games are draws.

     

    Otherwise it goes to November and we’ll need something at home to Norway or in Georgia.


    If my calculations are right France are the only other team who can clinch in September, but they’d either need Greece to drop points in Gibraltar or Netherlands to fail to beat BOTH Greece home and Ireland away 

    In your October scenario we could lose to Spain and still qualify in October with a draw between Norway and Spain, we wouldn't need both games to be draws. We'd be 4 ahead of Norway with them only having a game left to play if we lose to Spain and then Norway draw with Spain.

    Also England can qualify in September but it probably needs North Macedonia dropping points to Malta.

     

  2. DFB Pokal weekend and a load of it is on Viaplay in the UK

    Braunchweig v Schalke on right now

    Saturday
    Balingen v Stuttgart (12 noon)
    Arminia Bielefeld v Bochum (5pm joins in progress due to the UK blackout)
    Bayern v Leipzig in the Super Cup (7.45pm) - Sky Sports
    Sunday
    Essen v HSV (12 noon)
    Lok Leipzig v Eintracht Frankfurt (2.30pm)
    Oberachern v Freiburg (2.30pm)
    Monday
    Lubeck v Hoffenheim (5pm)

  3. Tommy Conway is out for up to 3 months after getting injured in Bristol City's first game of the season. Probably ruins any chances he had of pushing to make the jump from the u21s to the senior squad for the foreseeable future.

  4. It'll be interesting to see if Doak gets into the Liverpool Europa League squad. He doesn't qualify as home grown or one of the u21 players since he hasn't been there long enough so has to be registered as one of the 17 non-home grown or underage players the same as the likes of Robertson and Salah.

     

  5. I suspect the 2024 Nations League draw will be after the March fixtures since there's League C/D relegation playoffs being played then alongside the euro 2024 playoffs.

    They could just do the draw before then with "Playoff winner 1 and 2" and "Playoff loser 1 and 2" in placed in some of the groups in Leagues C and D but with Lithuania and Belarus being involved when they have winter restrictions and Gibraltar and Cyprus involved when they have excessive travel restrictions it would probably just be easier to do it afterwards.

  6. Buses are all over the place and I think any bus that goes up Maryhill Road is stopping its normal route at Oswald Street at the other end of town and not picking up it's regular route again until Maryhill Road so I don't think any of them will be of use to you from near the bus station.

    Taxi from the bus station if going the quickest route to Firhill won't go near the road closures so should be fine. It's about 30-40mins to walk it if you're able to.
