wanderer Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 [quote name="Barney Rubble" post="41073" timestamp="1414183902 No idea anymore who was in the play-offs, and that's speculation anyway. The important thing is to be there, and we weren't. Did Norway not miss out on the play off's as the worst 2nd placed team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonny78 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Did Norway not miss out on the play off's as the worst 2nd placed team? i think in those days every 2nd place team got a play off and they were NOT seeded. They change it all the time. remember 2008 euros there were no play offs at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Moldova was a mental trip. Went with Charlie Endell and Flora Madonald. Two nights in Bucharest and a mad couple of days in Chisinau. The vodka was lethal. Had one of the worst hangovers known to man and had to endure the 14 hour train journey back to Bucharest. Memorable trip! It's frightening that ten years have passed since then - I mind it like yesterday! Jings, we're no here long right enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auchinyell Sox Change Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 As were 0-0 in Minsk (not a bad trip at all!) and 0-1 at home (Hleb after 5 minutes and thereafter..............no reaction). WS could and should have got more from us in both of those games. That was a section we should have qualified from, no contest. the 0-0 away was a decent backs to the wall performance i recall - weir outstanding in defence the 0-1 at home was a killer blow -WS seemed to have no Plan B up his sleeve - Kenny allowed to chase lost causes himself up front in a game we had to win to stay in contention - i think the same day norway won 3-2 away in slovenia , so effectively game over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame that was out leaping Kenny Miller to the long balls we had been punting into the box all night. IIRC the 2nd Hleb brother started the game and the better one came on later, as recall their fans went into a frenzy when he came on. Always suspected game at Hampden Smith never had any desire to win that game.... Confidence was sky high after the draw against Italy and win in Oslo, yet we played worse than anything we had played under Vogts that day, and fact Smith only made one sub that day to bring Maloney on, when he had plenty of good options on the bench shows he was not out to win it.
