Mr Bairn Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Yes I know but there will be both sets of fans in and around London airports So the same as any time Scotland and England play away matches on the same day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Yes I know but there will be both sets of fans in and around London airports Pretty certain that's why they started posting armed police at Gatwick TBH. Weren't there loads of Twitter posts about pwopah naw'y casuals heading up to do the Jocks when that last England friendly happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Rather like the draw itself, I see the fixture draw as 'middle of the road'... could have been better / could have been worse. I'm not as over the moon as some seem to be. First 2 matches are good to start with: away to Malta/home to Lithuania is a gentle start and so should be 6pts on the board providing a good platform. However the next 4 matches are very tough - away to Slovakia, home and away to England and home to Slovenia. Could potentially be playing a bit of catch-up after that. Then the easiest pair of matches again. Then finishing home to Slovakia and away to Slovenia is probably better than the other way around although if we're vying with Slovakia for 2nd it's bad that they finish at home to Malta, as FIFA apply GD and GF before applying head-to-head.

AberdeenBud Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Results against the bottom team will be discarded though, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Results against the bottom team will be discarded though, no? Only looks like that comes into play when deciding which country is the worst second-place finisher. Which reminds me; we're back to one of the second-placers not making the play-offs. Boo!

HibeeJibee Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Correct, only in deciding which runner-up doesn't make the playoffs are the results against whoever finishes last in the 6-team groups discarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was nae a waiting list before there certainly will be now. Suddenly the national team becomes more popular now. Funny that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 UEFA confirms Russia will play 10 centralised friendlies v Group H. http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/Draws/02/26/73/74/2267374_DOWNLOAD.pdf Nothing for Gibraltar. Unless they can get ad-hoc friendlies v odd team in Group I, or other continents, they're virtually out of football from Oct 2016 to Sep 2018.

Moo Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The SSC had so many free spaces at the start of this campaign as I remember them advertising it a couple of games in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
