Donathan Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 My numbers suggest that a draw with Denmark will likely be enough for a seed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 How decent were the Faroes in spells last night? Fair fucks to them, they had a plan and looked great going forward a number of times, as well as being solid without the ball. 100% fair fucks to them for that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be our best qualification campaign for 2 decades. Why are some people on the verge of tears ? Exactly this. Last night was like away to Israel in 1981, Iceland in 85, Cyprus in 89, Belarus in 97. Dreadful performances but vital wins that took us to World Cups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the morning after again, I'm hungover after a 5am start and I couldn't be happier. I'm not one of these miserable c***s who likes to bring Scotland down, but their antics over the last 20 years mean that they give me the fear like nothing else in football. Might as well enjoy the next month or so now though. It feels great to be in contention again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's rhetorical, but twice that I can think of - both times involving Georgia. It happened in Monaco against Estonia too, but we got away with that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 9 hours ago, Deanburn Dave said: So if we beat Moldova we will finish runner up in the group. The 10 runners up from the leagues get joined by the 2 highest Nations League teams that haven't qualified automatically and are not runner ups......it will be Austria and either Wales or the Czech Republic. The Welsh and Czechs will both be involved in some capacity. The Twelve teams are then drawn into 3 groups of 4 teams. It's a one leg semi then a one leg final. That gets the 12 teams down to three "Winners" who all qualify for the World Cup. So Scotland 3 wins from Qatar . I know the seeded sides get to be at home in the play-off semis. What determines the venue of the play-off finals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dream scenario for us is obviously to be seeded and in one of those semis, therefore knowing that we are two home wins from qualifying.

I can't say I've been impressed by Dykes' performances (on the few times I've seen him, to be fair) but 4 goals in 4 internationals is good going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Absolutely dreadful last night and won. Same again in Chisinau would do.Think we had reinforced last night that McGregor has to play alongside Gilmour in the middle of the park. McTominay was pretty poor, Fraser needs game time for his club as he was a long way off his best, Christie was poor also but had little service from behind him.We've tripped up against 5th seeds so often (Georgia, Lithuania and Kazakhstan spring to mind) so thankfully we got the win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Christie and McGinn in the same side. Christie likes to occupy the gaps and spaces that McGinn likes to run into. McGinn's the bigger attacking threat and offers more defensively. Christie should be McGinn's back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
