***World Cup Play-off Draw - Ukraine. ***

Ukraine is a good draw for us I reckon as they are guaranteed to attack and not hold back looking to get a 0-1.

Β 

Would rather get Austria than Wales TBH though a Wales without Bale isn't the same proposition as if he is fit.

I was at that Ukraine v Sweden match at the Euro's.Β  Poor match where Ukraine got lucky with the sending off.Β  Sweden hit the woodwork a few times and should have won.Β  The only player for Ukraine that stood out was the Zinchencko (Man City).Β  It's a good draw.Β  Obviously could have been better.

I watched Ukraine beat Portugal 2 years ago in Euro qualifying and they were brilliant.

Β 

But they drew with Kazakhstan and Bulgaria in this qualification. As above they can play well in a game but often struggle.Β 

Β 

It's a good game for Scotland and we can proveΒ we can beat higher ranked sides now.Β

McQueen and McGrain

Β 

Missing out was really painful for McQueen in particular.

It was Danny McGrain who didn't make it to Argentina..I seem to remember he broke his leg. McQueen was there.

As good a draw as Scotland could have hoped for imo, I think we will sneak a win against Ukraine, probably a 1-0 Job then I expect it will be Wales in Cardiff for the final, which should be an absolute cracker of a match and I really hope we do them as I can't stand the Welsh tbh.

Hope Gareth bale and all the sheep feckers are in tears at the end!Β

Wales seem to get more hype off the British media than us. They haven't reached a world cup since 1958 ffs! Also we're due a result against them. Bale or no Bale bring them on!

Were Ukraine not hugely dull in that game iirc?

Nations League? When did that happen? WC qualification groups have only just finished. I'm sure you're correct, but they really do not deserve to be in these play offs, never mind potentially getting one of the home ties in the final games.

I mean we got to the Euros in the exact same way...

But there will still be some people who want to come over from thereΒ

No chance. Not our problem and up to them to fulfill fixture. If they are involved in war, chuck them out and Scotland through to playoff final.

Throw Russia out as well.Β

Never be postponed. Just heave the two of them, I’d be ok if they were replaced with other teams but probably too late for thatΒ

Wiki says the bulk of the squad play for shakhtar donetsk and dynamo kyiv. The Ukrainian league hasn't played since mid December, not sure if there's some sort of winter break?

Β 

*winter break from December to March

Is this game in danger of not going ahead with recent developments in Ukraine?

If so, it would probably save Scotland getting a wee red face.

I'm backing Austria to beat Wales with or without more injuries.

Β 

Gareth Bale played for Real Madrid today though.Β 

Β 

A few Scotland players will have the chance to land a few heavy tackles on Ramsey over the next few months too...

They might just postpone it til a later dateΒ 

Sod that. Why you so desperate to see games postponed? It's not a sporting issue so game goes ahead or they withdraw. Pretty simple really.

Not really given the playoff final is 3 or 4 days later and then within a couple of weeks of the playoffs being concluded the finals draw will be made

Show up and play or withdraw. That's their options. They will be there.

The play off is at Hampden, so no problems. The Nations league could be played in Germany.

Yup. Every day of the week. They have enough players at foreign clubs so it won't be hard to field a team, even though it wouldn't be their best. It can't be allowed to hold up later fixtures and draws.
