1320Lichtie Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 He'll be telling you that's not how football works. As you well know. So should we be doing better than Uruguay on the international stage too out of interest? And why are you saying we when talking about Scotland are you not from Northern Ireland? I only replied to Deeboy initially here by the way. I'm hardly looking for encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 If someone put up a thread about the streetlights in Denny 1320 would be on there posting away at the rate of 15 parargaphs a second. He's unavoidable. It's like being trapped in a lift with Dominik Diamond. I'm replying to people that have replied to me. You included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeboy Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 You know you're struggling when your best argument is 'aye but we're better than Scotland'. Which argument is that? This all started by quite a vocal Scotland fan saying 'Qualifying is a bigger achievement than Leicester winning the league it seems'. Absolutely nobody said that, or anything of the sort. It's now grown arms and legs into making up the numbers 8 times is better than actually making an impact twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaviliunas Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Couldn't care less, I'm perfectly fine with us not qualifying. I think we had a tough group and were aiming for a play off. A play off which would've been a 50/50. I'm quite content with how the Scotland team done unlike others. When was the last time they qualified? 86 for their one and only? Pretty sure nobody is bothered in the slightest over TFS qualifying record, Scotland's is quite good. Brilliant in comparison to theirs actually.

It's now grown arms and legs into making up the numbers 8 times is better than actually making an impact twice. It was tongue in cheek by the way. I obviously do not actually think NI qualifying from a 6 team group over 10 games is more of an acheivenent than Leicester winning the league. Just to clear that up.

Antiochas III Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Northern Ireland boosting the argument against the extension of a previously elite competition to 24 teams. Adding nothing. That's nonsense. If there was no extension NI would have still made it. The won their group. Looking at it, if we had all group winners and best runner up the following would be there... France, England, NI, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Czech Rep and Austria, Italy, Romania* and Slovakia*. those on the chopping block due to playoffs would have been... Wales, Iceland, Switzerland, Russia, Croatia, Poland and Albania and Turkey** Leaving the teams certain to miss out as ROI, Ukraine, Sweden, Hungary. * top 2 runner ups ** best third.

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 So they've qualified 3 times, and we've qualified 8 times? You've just proved my point No. 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The World Cup also has it's also rans , should that be cut down aswell? With several confederations feeding into that competition it's less clear. But there was nothing wrong with a 16 team Euros. The elite of Europe squaring off against each other in a more straight forward format. For the record, I'd prefer a 16 team competition without Scotland compared to a 24 team effort that included them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 No. 4 times. World Cup only that. 4 with euros included. No idea what Scotland's would be overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
