BookhouseBoys Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 If the dream scenario happens, we beat Cyprus and results go our way so that we know that we’ve qualified while playing England. To the tune of ‘Oh what a night”: ‘Oh what a night, mid September, twenty twenty three, beating* England, going to Germany, Bonnie Scotland, what a night!’ *can change that to ‘playing’, not to get too far ahead of ourselves… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csinclair Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 We can't qualify until full time of the England game. We need to beat Cyprus and hope Spain beat Georgia the same night. Then whilst we're playing England we need Norway to draw with Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Norway play Georgia on Mon 11th Sept. Scotland v England is on Tues 12th. Lots of fans are assuming matches are on same night. As Sco v Eng is friendly I guess the match waz not restricted to be on 11th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertsscot Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I think if there's anything I've learnt about following Scotland over the years it can be summarised in the old proverb about not counting chickens until they've actually hatched.

AlfieMoon Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 What will be, will be. As the song goes. Regardless of what is happening elsewhere - I’m just looking forward to England coming to town against a strong and confident Scotland team who will really fancy their chances, and a packed Hampden who have never had more belief in the team.

Judith Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Much rather we needed a point in Seville and qualify off our own backs. Now that would be a party! But if its a done deal after the England game, I wont be sniffy about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Bra Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Is it essential that Spain beat Georgia then Norway & Georgia draw? Been looking at the group, not gone through all the permutations properly but all three teams dropping pints would would be good for us, no? For example, Georgia taking something off Spain then drawing or losing against Norway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Georgia get a draw against Spain and then draw with Norway they’d be on 6 points, 9 behind us (assuming we’ve beaten Cyprus). That would mean they could still catch us in their 3 remaining games if we lost all ours. That would mean we couldn’t qualify in September. However, I’m with you otherwise. I’m not hell bent on qualifying in September. I’d much rather Georgia nicked a point off Spain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
