Toepoke Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 First time in almost 20 years 👍 When it happened last I hadn't even joined the TAMB! Congratulations to all the lads, great effort 🏴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDB46 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It’s a great achievement but let’s hope we are not joined by Italy as a group runner up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Played 9, won 6, drawn 2, lost 1. With the draws against our main second place rivals and the one loss against an absurdly good Denmark side. I really don't think anyone at the start of this campaign could have dreamed of these results after 9 games. It is superb what this team have achieved. We really need to recognize it for once. Well done indeed. Edited November 12, 2021 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prideothenorth Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It has been a great effort by the whole squad in what was a far from easy group. Would be great to top it off with a good result v Denmark and be seeded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poland now virtually guaranteed a play-off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Any teams we get will be difficult to beat, but group runners up dont get there by being lucky . We thoroughly deserve this and I feel pretty confident that the opposition will not be particularly keen to draw us either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 In the past it was an unending diet of 'glorious failure'. What we are now seeing is rare picnic of 'unspectacular success'. I sure as fuck know what I prefer. Please let it continue. 😀 Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 We absolutely did everything expected of us and more. (We were never finishing ahead of Denmark...) The whole play off situation is and always was completely out of our hands, who we get, seedings, permutations due to the results of other groups etc etc... that is an entirely new chapter. For this chapter though... we did everything and more. Oh yeah. I say let the chips fall where they may now. I fear no one. If we get wales we risk getting pumped by wales. If we get italy we have the chance to pump italy. What do you prefer? (sorry no idea if wales or italy are real options just what ifs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant that we can’t expect to get anyone that we would consider easy to beat in the World Cup playoffs. Whoever we get will be a good team. I would sooner avoid Italy though.

Malcolm Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 If we had Kenny dalglish up front I would take on Wales as I think in other departments we are decent. Not a great back three but not bad. id probably fancy us against Poland at Hamden. we need key players fit - Gordon, tierney, Mcginn, gilmour and Patterson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 If past history is anything to go by then we will have a large swell and or influx (two great words, cant choose) of zoomers on here as a result of this. That is a bit of a downside. So get all your sane posts in now quickly before the crazies arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
