    Yeah, I'm not sure if they could refuse to sell me a ticket because I live in Scotland?

    Its free to sign up, so nothing to lose.

    My mate that's going lives in England, so might use his details?

    Cheers, I registed when the fixtures came out and have recevied dozen of emails from them. Do I not need to join their supports association for 30 quid to secure a ticket?

    I know, I joined their supporters club.

    :lol:

    I was thinking of doing the same, do you think this will get you a ticket? For me i'd be well worth it to secure one.

    Is your account set-up in your Scottish address?

    Performance Proposals

    in TA specific

    Posted

    Thoughts on this?

    Brian McClair and Gordon Strachan have shared proposed plans for the Scottish FA’s Performance Strategy to the Chairpersons and Chief Executives of the 30 Club Academy Scotland (CAS) participants.

    The Performance Director, Scotland National Coach and Chief Executive, Stewart Regan, also presented their vision in a meeting with the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and the Sports Minister, Jamie Hepburn, at Holyrood this afternoon.

    Brian has travelled the country since his appointment last June, consulting with clubs, youth and senior coaches, players and affiliated bodies to review and make recommendations in the key strands of the strategy: including the two-tier CAS system, the flagship seven Regional Performance Schools and the National Youth Teams.

    Brian was joined by the Scotland National Coach as they revisited Scotland’s proud footballing history domestically, in Europe and on the international stage. They updated on the progress so far in the four years since the conception of the performance strategy and spoke passionately of the collective work required to be undertaken to realise the 2020 Vision and ensure a more prosperous future for the national game.

    In broad terms, these proposals include:

    • A refining of the number of players in the CAS system (currently in excess of 2300)

    • A reduction in the number of centrally funded CAS teams to maximise investment in line with the Performance Strategy’s Best v Best principle

    • More provision for Regional Academies

    • Consultation with clubs regarding a Draft Loan system between the SPFL Premiership and Championship to improve first-team game time for young Scottish players

    It was agreed that a working group will be convened to discuss the proposals in more detail and ensure collaboration between all constituent areas of the game.

    Brian McClair, Scottish FA Performance Director: “I am glad we had the opportunity to discuss and debate Scottish football’s current reality and how we can all work together to improve. The most important thing for me is that we all agree that we need to improve and that any future plans should put the development of the young player at the heart of everything we do.

    “The principle is very clear and is founded on hard work on the pitch and off it. Interestingly, when I spoke to the Professional Game Board at the end of last year to share some of the ideas, the one word that came back was ‘radical’. Sometimes the most radical changes are also the most simple.

    “There is a lot of good work under way with the Performance Schools and with more outcome-focused investment in CAS but we need to address why our players stop developing at under-21 level and what the barriers are to playing regular football at the critical stage of development.”

    Gordon Strachan, Scotland National Coach: “I am Scotland National Coach but I am also a father and grandfather and I care passionately about the state of our game and the future of our game. Naturally I am disappointed that we did not qualify for the European Championships but Scottish football’s challenges run much deeper. We need to get back to producing exciting players again, players who can be relied upon to start for their clubs at an earlier age, players who will then become more experienced and better prepared when it comes to international football.

    “We need to be honest with ourselves when it comes to assessing where we are, where we want to be and how we get there. Brian and I were fortunate enough to play for top teams in Scotland and England and represent our country at major tournaments but the work was put in way before either of us made our first-team debuts.”

    Georgia Predictions

    Posted · Edited by rosscarnie

    I'm confident we will win on Friday. Big difference this time compared to last is that it's the first game of a double header rather than the second, obviously factor out an Old Firm match the weekend after.

    The Germany game is or should be a bonus match provding they beat Poland on Friday night. I still expect us to be sitting 4th on Monday night, unless we beat Germany given the Republic's two fixtures.

    Spot on, different circumstances this time

    Head To Head Or Goal Difference?

    Article 13 Equality of points qualifying competition

    13.01 If two or more teams in the same group are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings:

    a. higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;

    b. superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;

    c. higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;

    d. higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question;

    e. if, after having applied criteria a) to d), teams still have an equal ranking, criteria a) to d) are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria f) to j) apply;

    f. superior goal difference in all group matches;

    g. higher number of goals scored in all group matches;

    h. higher number of away goals scored in all group matches;

    i. fair play conduct in all group matches as defined in Annex C.5.1;

    j. position in the UEFA national team coefficient rankings (see Annex B.1.2. B).

    So if we finsih level on points with Poland all we would need is a 0-0 or 1-1 at Hampden to qualify :-))

    Someone should be sacked for this, it's an absolute disgrace to hurt our chances of getting to the next WC! Who would be ultimately responsible? Regan?

    I just read this on Reddit, is it true?

    "Due to the quirks of the FIFA rating system that Scotland - even if they beat Qatar - will go down into the next lower level pot for the next FIFA competition draw, whereas if they didn't even play Qatar in this friendly then they would remain in a pot higher?
