usainboltyarocket Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Seen highlights of all their games and there should be no reason why we don't put at least 5 past them. Just to confirm goal difference comes after head to head? Could still be vital anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan blood Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Seen highlights of all their games and there should be no reason why we don't put at least 5 past them. Just to confirm goal difference comes after head to head? Could still be vital anyway. It would only come into it if we were on the same goals for and against, on the same points against another team. But even then it isn't included until the goal difference between the other teams is accounted for. And that would have to be identical as well. That's nearly impossible, so the scoreline won't really matter. As long as it's 3 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We rarely beat anyone with ease but this is a good chance to do so. The forwards must be looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If we score early that will set us up very well. I am hoping we display a more ravenous hunger for goals than we have shown in the past. Games like Faroe Islands at Parkhead when we were 5-0 up at half-time and took out foot right off the gas and second half was 1-1. Keep pressing for goals, goals breeds confidence and breeds greater momentum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolhibby Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I have set 4-0 as my minimum requirement. 3 points goes without saying, but I'd like to see goals galore! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_B81 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm predicting 6-0 On highlights of the Ireland match, they walked through Gibraltar at almost every opportunity and 7-0 wasn't a fair reflection, 10/11 would've been. As much as we struggled to put the ball in the net last night, do expect us to win by more than 5 on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I will settle for 3 points. Would be nice to get a few goals and get a clean sheet but I think goals scored against Gibraltar are unlikely to matter in deciding the group places. That will only come into play if we are tied with another team and our scores against that team are identical home and away (ie if we lost 1-0 to Ireland, drew 2-2 at home to Poland or beat Germany 2-1). Of course there could also be a 3 way tie but that's even less likely. GD could be important in deciding the best 3rd place team but results against Gibraltar will be discounted before that calculation is done.

Donaldo87 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Bookies have 5-0 as the 'par score' if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Been fearing for a while that we will make very heavy work on Sunday (last night did not give me much hope) and just can not stop thinking it will be a very sloppy 3-0 win for us. If we can go straight for the jugular, and a goal in the opening minutes, then flood gates will open..... just hope it is not like the Faroes game at Celtic Park where we get to HT in cruise control, then do not bother showing up for the 2nd half. Do not think we will break any records, but would love to see a Scotland player grab a hatrick for us (1969 v Cyprus was the last time we had a player get one?)

Flure Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Do not think we will break any records............. We would have to score more than 11 goals. Record score 11-0 V Ireland at Celtic Park, Saturday 23 February 1901. Mario Kempes got in the OAP gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Interesting fact. 1-0 and 9-0 are the same price @ 25/1 Edited March 26, 2015 by dandydunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_B81 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thought we had to work hard for the chances we created and none of them were sitters We had to work harder than we will have to on Sunday. Northern Ireland, although resting some key players, are a much harder nut to crack these days and Gibraltar are on a par with the likes of San Marino and the Faroes, arguably worse.

Toepoke Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 would love to see a Scotland player grab a hatrick for us (1969 v Cyprus was the last time we had a player get one?) Colin Stein actually got 4 in that game. Our last exact hat-trick came from Denis Law v Norway in 1963. Shocking record! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Ireland, although resting some key players, are a much harder nut to crack these days and Gibraltar are on a par with the likes of San Marino and the Faroes, arguably worse. Absolutely. NI defended really well. You can see how they've not lost many goals in qualifying so far. I don't think there's much doubt that on paper at least Gibraltar are the weakest team we've played in modern times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Tide_Rising Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If ye dont beat them by at least 4 - then it would be a dissappointing scoreline They are abysmal. We put 7 past them and we could and probably should have put 11 or 12 past them. There is no logic having teams like Gibraltar playing in these groups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's much doubt that on paper at least Gibraltar are the weakest team we've played in modern times. NI gave the ball away in dangerous positions under no pressure, particularly in the first half. I wouldn't describe that as good defending.
