Gordopolis Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I used to feel really excited before Scotland games like this one, then really nervous. This time I just feel a bit numb/sick.Braw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumdog35 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'm sorry but there is no chance of us qualifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It will depend how good we are at breaking slovakia down, they know that a draw suits them down to the ground. They may just hold in and try and hit us on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddist Monk Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Draw tonight, win in Slovenia. It's not what I want to happen, but I believe this is how it will pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Studying the groups again, based on the current set up as long as wales and Bosnia don't win both games we couldn't finish worst second placer if we win both games.I don't think Bosnia will win in Belgium although Belgium have a.ready qualified . The big concern is we can will two games and there is a strong possibility wales beating Ireland on monday would finish us as the worst second placer .So the two day wait even with two wins is a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Scotland need to win in Slovenia... or draw, and hope Slovakia don't beat Malta.Slovakia need to win at home to Malta, and hope Scotland don't beat Slovenia.Slovenia need to win at home to Scotland, and hope Slovakia don't beat Malta. As I noted Kane's goal didn't actually make a real difference - it simply eliminated Slovenia thrashing us and hoping Slovakia just squeaked Malta.

We need to root for Holland to beat Sweden at home on Tuesday. Basically if Holland win both their games we're fine. Group B - Both Switzerland and Portugal outrank us no matter what Group C - If Norway beat Northern Ireland then we outrank them Group D - We're fine unless Wales win in Tbilisi and beat Ireland at home Group E - Forget about this one. Group G - Forget it. Group H - Bosnia need to win both their games Group I - Bit of a clusterfuck TBH I'm not too worried about being the worst runner up now. We'd need a lot to go against us if we win on Sunday to not be in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 In terms of runner-up ranking and Scotland: if we win in Slovenia we'll have 14pts after removing Malta, but GD of as little as 0. Of groups that finish on Sunday - Denmark would rank above if they don't lose at home v Romania, and Northern Ireland would if they don't lose in Norway. Bosnia and Wales would need to win their last 2 games, whilst Iceland/Turkey/Croatia is complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bosnia is they key one they need two wins to overhall us, unlikely but Belgium already qualified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden have 10 points that count as of now, but still need to go to Holland. Even if they lose in Holland they'll finish second if they beat Luxembourg at home, but would be a point behind us.
