Diamond Oracle Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thought I would create a thread for general discussion on the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. I noticed the pundits on Sky, when discussing Group D, are in agreement that Scotland, Ireland, Poland and Georgia will be fighting it out for 2/3rd place. However, after watching 15 minutes of the Ireland vs. Georgia game, it is clear that Georgia will be nowhere near top three. Playing a defensive back 5 at home against the Irish and punting long balls up to a hopeless No. 9. Hopefully this thread hasn't been created already.

djchapsticks Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 1-0 to Republic, first goal of the group stages and it's scored by a 'Scotsman'. A draw here would be just lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Only based on half an hours viewing of course but both of these teams are beatable. Ireland are OK but quite shaky at the back so far, Georgia don't look too impressive and are set up really quite defensively for them playing at home.

Big Fifer Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thought the keeper should have done better initially but from the other angle his view of the ball was blocked until it was too late. Great goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawfield shed boy Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Georgia look very beatable That ex Geordie is more negative than levein! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Oracle Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Georgia look very beatable That ex Geordie is more negative than levein! It's difficult to fathom why a manager looking to nick 3rd place would set his side up like that. Surely you play to win at home against Ireland, Poland & Scotland at the very least... Scraping 0-0s at home is as good as useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Oracle Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Just me that thinks the Poland lineup tonight looks very weak? Don't know much about the Polish so maybe someone else can shed some light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwithme Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Good wins for both ROI and NI. Unfortunately the ROI result is not a good one for Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Gibraltar only had 2 pro footballers in their starting 11 tonight, looking at the goals they conceded tonight I can see our attackers having a field day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Poland are dangerous purely due to Lewandowski, he'll pose more problems than the German attack did tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Poland are dangerous purely due to Lewandowski, he'll pose more problems than the German attack did tonight Disagree on both counts tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Gibraltar are gash. I genuinely think most of our Championship teams would beat them. In saying that, any 0-7 win away from home is to be applauded. I feel Poland are underrated and are favourites for 2nd. Aye so we beat them in a friendly; so what? I think Poland can take a point off Germany at home. The atmosphere at their home games will be mental. In saying that we should be looking to take 6 points off them. They'll rightly be saying the same about us, but we have to have the confidence to believe we are capable. Same with Ireland as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Poland are dangerous purely due to Lewandowski, he'll pose more problems than the German attack did tonight Muller alone is a much more dangerous player than Lewandowski. When you add in the fact he was playing with Gotze, Reus, Kroos and Schurrle then I find that a pretty odd statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
