That would depend on who it was but I want us to get the chance to find out like any proper Scotland would, not just post negative shite in case we lose a playoff. That would be progress at least.

Not really sure that means we buckle under pressure in the final minutes. Was thinking about Poland game and Saturday so maybe should have written , struggle to hold on to lead. We did it v Slovenia though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Hunt Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 14 hours ago, Sherps said: Next booking gets him a 1 game ban, so he should be looking to take a tactical booking in the closing stages of the Lithuania game, so he can sit out against Malta at home, and not risk either of the Slovenia/Slovakia games. I'll get my well-earned on that then! I worry that he 'lets opponent know he is there' early in a game, so he is walking a tightrope and we are nail biting for 70 minutes or so. I appreciate this aspect of the game but Broony is not exactly subtle with it. IMO he is nailed on to do it early v both Slovs and probably Lithuania so the mountains could get even steeper. Feck me, how many footballing cliches is that in a single post?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Although I remain hopeful that we can win our remaining games, what worries me is how everyone is assuming the Malta game is a formality. All the teams in our group have made heavy weather of beating them. On the outside it appears that we hammered them but, as we all know, that scoreline was aided by some questionable refereeing. Also, we don't exactly have a stellar record of sweeping these type of nations to the side with ease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 9 hours ago, bonny78 said: Like craig gordon did? -If Slovakia beat Slovenia, they'll also beat Malta, which'd give them at least 18. Slovakia have got a much better goal difference than us, meaning we'd need to win all 4 games to get 2nd. -If Slovakia and Slovenia draw, then we can afford to draw with Slovakia, as long as we win the other 3 games and Slovakia lose at Wembley. Taking 10 points with the draw coming in Slovenia would also be enough, as long as Slovakia don't win at Wembley. -If Slovenia win in Slovakia, they'll likely beat Lithuania as well, although 10 points would still be enough for us with a scenario where we end up level on points with Slovenia and it going to goal difference. If we don't beat Lithuania, 3 wins from the last 3 would might well still be enough, although we'd only have 17/18 points. Looking at the likely points totals of the other 2nd places and the remaining fixtures, I can see the 2nd place in 6 groups getting to at least 20 points. I think it's between our group, Denmark/Montenegro and Northern Ireland/Czech Republic for the worst 2nd place. I can see whichever team finishes 2nd in both of those groups taking 18 points, with a small chance one will finish on less. Having said all that, I can see Slovakia beating Slovenia, which would mean we'd need to win all 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can beat Lithuania away and Malta at home no question. Whether we can get the 6 points is another thing altogether. we can scrape past Slovakia at home on a given day yes. Slovenia away after a probable bruising encounter v Slovakia? Serious doubts about that one. we can beat Slovakia at home but can we win away, including in Lithuania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 The next game is the crunch one for me. We have always been found wanting in Lithuania so it will be a very dangerous match but if we were to win there it would be a real boost building momentum and belief.
