SaintDougie Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 So we're guaranteed a one game play-off fixture at Hampden in March 2020. Now regardless of whomever we play in the play-off, if we win is that us qualified? Or do we potentially have a further play-off after? With all these potential scenarios being discussed I can't ever remember anyone actually mentioning what the outcome of winning this game actually is. I'm probably being daft mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a final after that. Potentially would be against Serbia or Norway if they don't qualify outright before that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not fancy going to Serbia needing a win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Having to play Bulgaria / Romania in SF at Hampden, then Norway / Serbia potentially away, would be a tough route. Finland are doing surprisingly well and has only played 1 home game, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I don't think it's over-egging it to say that getting home advantage in that semi was an absolute masterstroke. I'd fancy us against any of our potential opponents there. But if we get an away final then that confidence turns into utter despair. Let's just qualify automatically, Steve. f**k this playoff shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just qualify automatically, Steve. f**k this playoff shite.Russia look in some decent form just now. I don't see us getting above them in the group and qualifying automatically unless Griffiths comes back scoring. We're hoping for a home draw in the playoff final imo.I also see we're going to be slipping down the world rankings again with a world cup draw coming soon. From pushing towards pot 2, we're now drifting towards pot 4. We've fallen to 28th in terms of the European teams at the next rankings, with 31st probably being the start of pot 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The semi-final will be at Hampden guaranteed, and it's a one-legged tie. I think after that the final could well be away, I can't remember what the criteria is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the semi and final held within the spring 'double header' date then?I would have thought that if two potentially full home crowds could have been pulled in for a 2-leg final they'd have found a way, but hey ho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, semi is on the Thursday/Friday/Saturday, with the final on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday (delete as WEEKOFFOOTBALLAPPLICABLE). I prefer the one-off game. I'd imagine there's always far more chance of us shiting it at two attempts than just one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Serbia fail to beat Portugal tonight then they’ll almost definitely go into the playoffs. Norway are still in their group but also likely to be in the playoffs. If one team is to go up to the higher group it’ll be a 50/50 draw between Bulgaria and Israel, with us playing the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
