Dunning1874 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 That's fine, although we can now get relegated with a third place finish. We're now in the position where we need to finish above Israel and Albania over four games to at worst find ourselves in a playoff with teams at the same level as us to qualify, rather than having to worry about getting an Italy or Spain in the playoffs. Yes, neither of them are Estonia or Finland level diddies but this is our best chance to qualify in decades. Get the managerial appointment right, for the love of god.

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 One question:My understanding is that the Group Winners will all go into the playoffs for the Euros.If one or more Group Winners qualify automatically, the playoff place will pass to the next best runners-up(s).For the purposes of calculating the best runners-up, would results against the fourth-placed team be discounted? Because otherwise we would be at a disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Is being drawn in the group of 3 good or bad in the grand scheme of things?I have to admit to not having done much research into how all this works yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone still plays in the qualifiers, but they'll be considerably more difficult than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Still can’t see us even if we win the first section , winning a mini tournament with say Serbia , Slovenia and Greece to get a place in the finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Greece aren't what they were. We beat Slovenia over the two games last time we played them. Serbia look tough, admittedly. But if they are really good, they'll qualify automatically and we won't have to worry about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 A question if we make these play offs in June 19 how do we play these games and a double header of traditional qualifiers as well at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The playoffs aren't until March 2020, after all the other qualifiers have been played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I think I have worked it out if you are in the nations league finals, you will be guaranteed to be in just a five team group for the traditional euro qualifiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Apologies if it's been explained already but what happens if say everyone from group A qualifies automatically? Does their qualification place get added to Group B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
