accies1874 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 On the topic of fair play, I can't actually remember the last time we got a red card. Might be forgetting something obvious, but you've just sparked that thought in my head there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I checked and I believe the last red card Scotland had was John Souttar in the defeat to Israel on the 11/10/2018.

It could end up being a fairly thin margin that wins us our place at the Euro's in the end given how the Norway game in Oslo played out. The Cyprus and Georgia games are like for like, so haven't been pivotal. This campaign has felt incredibly comfortable. So it’s weird to think that without the two late goals in Norway we’d be going into our last game needing a win to qualify. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pretty decent that Spain won in Norway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Looks like a straight shootout between us and Austria for 2nd seed. Denmark overtook Slovenia to go to pot 2 but I don't think that massively changes the relative quality. Decider between Italy and Ukraine next week, would want to avoid a draw in that game which might put Italy in pot 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) There's always the chance Italy lose and f**k the playoffs up again. That gets my vote. Perhaps not if it means Wales qualify, though. Edited November 17, 2023 by Bully Wee Villa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify…if we beat Norway by 2 goals or more we are DEF Pot 2, regardless of what happens elsewhere? And if we fail to beat Norway by 2 goals or more we are def Pot 3, regardless of what happens elsewhere? is that the long and short of it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mathematically we could still finish in pot 4 but would require a string of unlikely results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could still get pot 1 if Spain lose to Georgia while we beat Norway… AND Denmark fail to beat NI by at least 3 more goals than we beat Norway by AND Turkey fail to beat Wales by at least 3 more goals than we beat Norway by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
