    Anyone got any idea when we’re likely to hear the venues for Croatia/Poland?

    Looking to get flights booked before prices fly up (pardon the pun) and it’s proving difficult to ensure we leave enough time to potentially get from one end of the country to another for a flight home.

    No word on Poland, but Croatia have announced that our game is in Zagreb.

     

  2. We could probably keep this thread alive til next month. Beat Spain in October and we qualify, but if we don't win then Norway v Spain on 15th October is the main match. We qualify if Spain win or draw. If Norway win then we then would need to get 2 points from the final two matches.

  3. We're in a better place now but there are shades of EURO 92 qualifying here as we needed Bulgaria and Romania to draw on the very last qualifying match in order for us to get to Sweden. At least this time I don't have to follow the results via Ceefax.

    As I understand it, he called off from the u-21's so he could rest and prepare for the new season with Liverpool. That was on Jun-13 - the week after the Spanish training camp.

    The motivations etc are open to speculation, so you can draw your own conclusions, but it's my opinion that if Steve Clarke had called Doak up he'd not have turned that chance down to optimise for Liverpool's new season.

    That's a leap, but if true would point to Steve Clarke choosing not to call him up for whatever reason where we re-enter the world of speculation.

    Let's be honest, when Scott Gemmill is the manager of the Under-21s I'm just surprised there hasn't been more mass withdrawals from the squad.

    Any idea of how good they are?  Sounds like a tough draw but I'm basing that solely on the reputation of the  men's team. 

    Don't know enough about their womens team to say how good they are. I do know they are ranked higher than PAOK and Ferencvaros so will likely be a tough test to qualify.

  6. If we'd kept to the days of giving squad numbers based on the number caps players had then it would look something like this

    2    Marshall
    3    Robertson
    4    Forrest
    5    Hanley
    6    McGinn

    8    Armstrong
    9    Mctominay
    10    McKenna
    11    Tierney
    12    O'Donnell
    13    Christie
    14    Fraser
    15    Dykes
    16    Gallagher
    17    Cooper
    18    Hendry
