Bully Wee Villa Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Not sure. What we ideally want is an England manager good enough to beat Slovenia but bad enough to lose to Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we ideally want is an England manager good enough to beat Slovenia but bad enough to lose to Scotland. I think our aim until no longer possible is to avoid the play-offs, considering the likely opposition. As unrealistic as it may seem, we need to try and win the group first and foremost. And to do that we need Slovenia to take something from England and then we do the same (or better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want Slovenia taking anything from England, that's exactly what happened with Ireland and Germany.Play offs would be a great result, finishing within touching distance of England would be a bonus. Pretty sure England won 9 or 10 games in the last qualifying group. Southfail is an unexpecteded bonus for us but to be honest I should be able to manage that England team and still beat us (not that I would ).

Blootoon87 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I don't want England to smash everyone, f**k that. Draws all round in their games would be perfect. ETA and two losses to us obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Does anyone know how the ticket sales are going for the Lithuania game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the website, vast swathes of the stadium are now not available for purchase. Usually means they're sold out, although parts will be blocked off for corporate I imagine. Around 100 seats left in the West, around the same in the East, although there's one block with pretty much no tickets sold. South has a few scattered around. North completely sold out.
