Alva-Jambo Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 ie - we need a win. I would love this but, I suspect a draw 1-1 maybe as they are hard to break down. England could not do it in normal time. BUT they don't have a place to play for. BUt they are at home and pride. We'll only win by another deflection or chance strike. .

Toggie88 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Going to be a tough one. I think it will work in our favour if Slovakia are actually a few ahead against Malta by the half. Gives Slovenia absolutely nothing to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 The refs will have been booked and allocated well in advance. They have jobs and families to arrange things around too. I agree, but changing a few flights etc but still using the same pool can't be hard. I'd not be impressed if the roles were reversed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Biggest Scotland game since the second leg v Holland under Berti. Let's hope it's a better result I know we're all living in the here and now but it's funny how folk are talking about tomorrow as the biggest game for, in your case, 14 years. If we'd held on against Poland two years ago, we'd have been playing Gibraltar needing a win to make a playoff. Craig Levein's team I'm sure would have made a playoff but for a last minute Czech dive. George Burley faced Holland needling a win to make a playoff and Miller and Brown missed sitters (let's not talk Iwelumo!) We've had plenty massive games but admittedly we've rarely entered the final match on such a high. Come on, Scotland, let's get it done this time!

Hendricks Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 I know I'm jumping the gun here but was looking at potential play off opponents and noticed something pretty absurd. Now its not certain because I actually think they have a chance to get something in Portugal on Tuesday but if Switzerland drop into the play offs they are definitely a team to avoid. I would much rather have the likes of Wales or Northern Ireland or even Croatia. The Swiss World Cup qualifying record in recent times is beyond ridiculous. Dating back to 2002 their record is: 26 wins 12 draws 1 loss And if you take just the last 3 campaigns its; 22 wins 6 draws 1 loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't be booked that far in advance. There are 53 member associations in UEFA, it's their job to plan it so this kind of thing doesn't happen. Steady on, lads. Being the worst second-placed team was always by far the least likely of the three ways for us to miss out on qualification (the others being failing to beat Slovenia, or losing in the play-offs.) I think we have a decent chance tomorrow, but the play-off draw will probably include both teams we have a reasonable chance against, and teams who will beat us 19 times out of 20, especially in a two-leg situation.
