Gordopolis Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Me too. Still can’t bring myself to have my morning coffee out of my Scotland mug. 46 years old. Me, not the Scotland mug.Is it one of those mugs with Jack Hendry on it where, when you pour boiling water in, his ability to defend disappears? Asking for a friend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 A draw is better in that game for us is it not? We aren't going to win the H2H v Ireland if we finish in a tie with them, and our GD is likely to be the worst of us, UKR & RoI in a 3 way tie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 If Ireland win tonight it could cause a potential headache down the road in terms of head to head.Draw a decent outcome.Can't see why it would be a headache. If Ireland win tonight and we beat them at hampden and Ireland beat Armenia, we are 9 points each. Thats before we factor in our two games against Ukraine. We simply need to beat Ireland at home, if we do they are gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke simply needs to learn from that debacle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three way tie is very unlikely, so them winning is definitely the best outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 25 minutes ago, Gordopolis said: England 1-0 down to Hungary... Pleasing. Paradoxically, England losing makes them more likely to be a second seed. France are making a right good go of it as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 If we're winning the group then we have to beat Ireland at home which would mean the most they could get is 9 points even if they win tonight, so Ireland win please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Also if Ireland win tonight it means we could actually slip up and draw with them at hampden as long as we take 4 points from Ukraine. Ireland could only get 10, Ukraine 10 and we would be on 11.Ireland win tonight preferable imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three way tie is very unlikely, so them winning is definitely the best outcome. 3-way tie would require us all to lose two. The only way for Ireland to only lose two, requires them to beat us, in which case we’d need to beat Ukraine twice and we still couldn’t win the group. An Ireland win means 5 points v Ukraine & ROI would be all that is required, no? If we drew twice with Ukraine it would go to GD, where we might lose out however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 The only downside of Ireland winning is that it increases our chances of finishing 3rd in the group, which might be a bad thing in terms of a play-off. But it makes winning the group much more likely, which has to be our main aim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Ukraine play Armenia away next. That would be a trickier tie had we not just got four of their players suspended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Ukraine were hyped up for qualifying for the World Cup. I think they will struggle to match that again with everything going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
