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. What if we play really well, but can't score and they fluke one in? or what if it's quite a tight game between two pretty good teams and it ends up a stalemate.

I'm making the point that the group isn't done and dusted. Israel will come to Glasgow knowing that a win will keep them in total control of their own destiny and we will be depending on them to be dropping points. We also know that we have been roughly even with Israel in the last 3 years so where is the idea that if we don't beat Israel then it's our own fault? They could easily beat us or draw with us at Hampden. Edited September 8, 2021 by 2426255 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's ours to lose" isn't the same thing as "this is over already". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact the Denmark game is a Monday night will affect attendance more than anything. We're away to Moldova just three days before so it will be pretty late in the day by the time we discover if it's a meaningful game or not (from a finishing 2nd perspective). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Fully expecting some more West Stand tickets to appear at some point, especially Section A, but have bought upper south tickets for this one just to make sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 1 hour ago, Cardle is Magic said: 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. To be fair, the Faroes were within a few mins of getting a draw off Denmark. I also see them beating Moldova as a bit of a shock, though that’s not quite such a surprise I would still have expected Moldova to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Aye Moldova are far worse than the Faroes. Are Moldova not about the same quality as Gibraltar? A level above Andorra and San Marino. I think Crocker said they're the 4th worst ranked team in Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I was going by what I had seen rather than the rankings. I thought they were a lot better against us than the Faroes were, hence the surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by populations Moldova should be better than the Faroes, but the Faroes keep punching above their weight (have done for a while now). Moldova can now boast a team in the Champions League this season, yet at internation level they've floundered for a long time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read somewhere the league D route won't apply for 2024 and only 3 teams will get through via the Nations league as Germany have already taken up one spot as hosts which didn't apply for 2020. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
