Scotland v Israel

This group is not over, far from it. Austria, Israel and Scotland are all in positions where they can achieve the playoff spot. If we lose to Israel and Austria beat the Faroe Islands the table will look like this:

• Israel - 13
• Scotland - 11
• Austria - 10

So don't count your chickens just yet.

If we lose at home to Israel or drop points against Faroes/Moldova then quite frankly we have no business playing at a World Cup Finals anyway.

Why is that? Any one off game has the potential to go badly. Shocks happen every round of games.

It's mindless crap being spouted. If we go on to lose to Israel or draw away to Moldova you lot all think we've already got it sown up and so to have it taken away from you will frustrate, anger and disappoint you, you'll get emotional and start crying.  Finally, you'll throw your toys out the pram and call for Steve Clarke to be strung up in George Square.

How many “shocks” have there been in our group so far? Or in any other European qualifier group?

I can think of North Macedonia beating Germany and that’s about it.

No one is saying the group is over. Obviously things get trickier if we lose to Israel.

I'm glad 2426255 is here to be able to tell us all how the group will look if a certain team wins or loses as if the rest of the forum isn't capable of adding 3 onto a points total.

[2426255]

• Ukraine 1 - 1 Khazakstan
• Italy 1 - 1 Bulgaria
• Spain 1 - 1 Greece
• Khazakstan 2 - 2 Ukraine
• Turkey 3 - 3 Latvia
• Cyprus 0 - 0 Slovakia
• Slovenia 1 - 0 Croatia
• Slovakia 2 - 2 Malta
• Albania 1 - 0 Hungary
• Armenia 2 - 0 Iceland
• Armenia 3 - 2 Romania
• Germany 1 - 2 North Macedonia

I'm putting it front and centre for the people who are getting a little ahead of themselves.

To be fair, Spain drew with Greece at home, France have dropped points against Ukraine twice and Bosnia, and Italy drew with Bulgaria.

that said, none of those sides are nearly as bad as Moldova or the Faroes are. And I’m not bothering with results between two shite sides that had no fucking chance of qualifying anyway.

Should be a full house 

From about 35 mins onward after fiasco entry issues

Sadly people on here do think it's done now and we can only throw it away. 'It's ours to lose'

It's entirely in our hands, of course it's ours to lose.

It's also Israel's to lose? Why when I present a logical argument it's met with such distaste.  

• Point #1: Shocks happen regularly.
• Point #2: Israel are a good team, on a similar level to us proven by recent results. 
• Point #3: Scotland aren't relying on other results, Israel aren't relying on other results. Both teams have their destiny in their own hands.

Either I'm mad, or the it's the rest of you. Either is fine.

Unless we’ve fucked it, that one should be a dead rubber.

As for the game itself, we really should be looking for another three points. We have a better team than Israel and victory *should* all but guarantee 2nd, barring any hiccups against the uber diddies.

Have you even read the thread?

You said it would be the last time, last time. You just can't form a cogent argument to disagree with me. We are in the expectations setting point and clearly the majority on here are setting themselves up again.

Expecting the Denmark game will be sold out soon too. 

It’s definitely heading that way. Only the shitty restricted areas left.

I bought some of those for section P5. I love a dead rubber. My last game was the 4-0 paddling from Belgium in 2019. 

Will Scotland manage to scud Israel, Moldova and The Faroes?

We might not finish 2nd but if we don’t then it would be a bad failure on our part and hugely disappointing.

I’m sure you’re not thick and fully understand this point so I really can’t see why you’re acting as if it’s an alien concept.
