RandomGuy. Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 How many times have Scotland turned a great home victory into a meaningless memory by failing to beat the shite side in qualifying away in the same campaign? Performance not the best tonight but winning while playing poorly away to diddy sides is something we've all craved for years. If you can beat the shite sides home and away then thats half the battle for qualifying, doesn't matter how it happens. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monrovianmonk Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This is Scotland. After the Denmark game if you had said we would get 12 from 12 you'd have been laughed off the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just now, Bob Mahelp said: Of course we have, but that's not the point. In 3 of these 4 games we've been awful for most or all of the 90 minutes. I'm merely pointing out that sheer luck alone is not going to get us through 2 play-off games that won't be against Moldova, Israel or The Faroes. We're going to have to improve dramatically in defence, and in defensive midfield. We got to the Euros on penalties. Let's enjoy 4 wins on the bounce. The negatives you can leave out. That fourth consecutive goal for Lyndon Dykes means he is the first Scotland player since Colin Stein in May 1969 to score in four straight games.

Deanburn Dave Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 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 . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually in a double header like that we play the top seed first and expend so much energy we are knackered both physically and mentally for the second game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I remember saying about this time last year that I'd never hated a game of football more than that woeful play-off performance v Israel. Tonight came close to topping that. I'll be happier tomorrow hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
