What, by saying that we'll beat Israel I have no faith? You do know what a joke is, right? Translation: We always defy expectations, both ways.

Tartan Chris Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Denmark 3 up after half an hour against Moldova. Is it GD or head to head that decides things if teams are level on points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burj_Alba Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Means there is a bit more pressure on us to get the result tonight. Don't want Denmark sailing off into the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceudmilefailte Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Pretty sure it will be head to head then probably goal difference with the bottom team excluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 So that's a +10 goal difference for Denmark already! They look like they have that kind of blend of physicality and skill that we so often struggle against. On the other hand, and on a more positive note (for us), Moldova looked absolutely dreadful.

Tartan Chris Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Denmark did that with their reserve team btw....made 9-10 changes from the other night! Simply can't afford to mess up v Moldova, pretty sure dropped points v them under Vogts years back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked like a better team in those days, although perhaps they've us to thank for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Looking at my initial predictions - 25 March 2021 Israel v Denmark - Draw Moldova v Faroe Islands - Draw Scotland v Austria - Draw 28 March 2021 Denmark v Moldova -Denmark win Austria v Faroe Islands - Austria win Israel v Scotland - Draw 31 March 2021 Austria v Denmark - Draw Moldovia v Israel - Israel win Scotland v Faroe Islands - Scotland win I'm not sure what the best result is for us in the Austria v Denmark game. Probably anything other than an Austria win? Looking further ahead - 1 September 2021 Denmark v Scotland Faroe Islands v Israel Moldova v Austria 4 September 2021 Faroe Islands v Denmark Israel v Austria Scotland v Moldova 7 September 2021 Austria v Scotland Denmark v Israel Faroe Islands v Moldova We've easy got the toughest fixtures of the 4 teams with away matches against the top 2 seeds.

gaz7 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Ive just been having a wee look at Israel results and guess what they played Austria in qualifying for Euro 2020 game at home they won 4-2 and away they got beat 3-1. they will also think they can still get 2nd spot im sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Chris Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Honestly don't think much has changed...well apart from the majority who seem to be demanding 1st spot now all of a sudden... Anyway. To have any chance of 2nd need 12 points from Moldova-Faroes which I think everyone would agree with and then try to finally end the Israel jinx by beating them at Hampden. Gets to 17 points there so then could be something like two draws from the remaining games v Austria and Denmark as usually 19-20 points gets 2nd. If Austria only get 1 point from the Denmark games and lose in Israel as they did in the last qualification they will only be able to get to 20 points as a maximum so certainly don't need to be potentially shooting 24-25 points imo. Still lots to play for infact, I'd be expecting to be 2nd on Weds evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is demanding first but in a group without any of the big hitters there is no reason that we should not be aiming for first. Being 2nd on Wednesday evening counts for absolutely hee-haw. I'm fairly confident that Austria will hit 21 points, despite them being beaten by Israel previously I expect them to take 6 points off israel unfortunately. On current form it'll take something very 6 special for us to hit 20 points. I'd say we're more likely to drop points away to the Faroes than pick up points away to Austria and Denmark.

So all we need to do is beat Denmark at home,Austria away, take 12 points of the minnows,beat Israel at home and hope Denmark beat Austria twice and that our goal difference is good enough for second? Any one fancy starting a thread for who we need to qualify for the playoffs for our final position in the nations League to sneak us in that way. We blew it big style there.

Technically the Faroes could get to the play offs if the groups work out in their favour... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(UEFA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a 0% chance of getting into the play offs via the nations league unfortunately. If we had won against either against Israel or Slovakia we'd very very likely already have a play off spot. Those were much worse results than these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaundy Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I’d predicted the maximum 9 but feared two or three less than the 5 we have . seems the sensible got it right at 5 . Sod the Quatar WC for now . Bring on the Euro 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanticscot Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) I had predicted 7 points before the rumors of Austria's B Team coming, I wish we had more but I can't help but feel very enthusiastic tonight. The next three games will be massive in terms of what we accomplish and what Israel can do to disrupt things.
