Our 90s form really was tremendous, appreciate the were a lot of new countries who were of a lower standard then but still we got the job done more often than not...

They seem to finally have a team again after years in the wilderness...

Woohoo! Stat project, love it love it love it Good work, I decided to take the analysis back a bit further:- 1990s Home Win: 72% (18/25) Home Draw: 20% (5/25) Home Loss: 8% (2/25) Away Win: 40% (10/25) Away Draw: 32% (8/25) Away Loss: 28% (7/25) 1980s Home Win: 55% (11/20) Home Draw: 35% (7/20) Home Loss: 10% (2/20) Away Win: 32% (6/19) Away Draw: 26% (5/19) Away Loss: 42% (8/19) 1970s Home Win: 69% (9/13) Home Draw: 15% (2/13) Home Loss: 15% (2/13) Away Win: 31% (4/14) Away Draw: 15% (2/14) Away Loss: 62% (8/14)

That's a given. If Poland beat us Ireland will be in the play-off even if they get no more points...

If that's the table to be used we must stand a decent chance of jumping into the seeds, given that we need to win games to finish 3rd?...

The German fans certainly seemed to love it...

What other options have we up front? Is Tony Watt taking the step up a possibility?...

Aye but it'd be the veritable dug's chance, needing the Poles to win when a draw would be enough for them...

The consensus on here is he was our best player last night! Can't see us keeping a clean sheet against their attack so we'll need to score at least a couple. Who we turn to up front is a bit of a dilemma though...

Watch a replay of the 3rd, Brown lets Gundongan run right past him and take up the scoring position...

Agreed. At the very most seed it based on each teams' position in the "best 3rd place" table...

He made it before we lost though...

Aye the Irish would only need a draw to be 2nd in those circumstances...

Going by my daughters' primary school classes the problem's not enough boys, the ratio's about 2:1 in favour of the girls!

Still possible for Ireland to finish second and us third, so your scenario could yet happen...

Anyway why did they need German advertising boards that were facing away from the cameras and the visiting fans?...

Bad night for Scotland

You can't complain about Sky featuring the Irish Republic, they have to subscribe to it there too...

You could say the officals were lenient with us but allowing us 4 subs?...

It's pretty bad when you're envious that we don't have a player like Kyle Lafferty...

We're the Pot 4 team and we're 4th in the table. Disappointing position to be in but not exactly unexpected...

Aye shocking from him for the 3rd. Can't see him being dropped for Poland with Morrison suspended. Maybe he'll be pushed further forward with D Fletcher coming in?...

In the first half? It was Mulgrew and looked outside the box (we had a pretty good view of it in the East).We scored from the free kick anyway....

If Ireland lose both we only need a draw v Poland (assuming we beat Gibraltar!)

We could take a serious look at what Iceland are doing. They'll have a lot less players to choose from than us...
