Ally Bongo Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Couple of quality defenders A central midfield maestro - someone in the ilk of Zinedine Zidane A top quality forward player - someone in the ilk of Marco Negri (replacing the 2 seasons he had at Rangers with a qualifying campaign) Think thats it .........

John_B81 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Georgia defeat and Germany dropping points to Poland and Ireland in consecutive games has killed us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Just realised there's a 4th possibility if we beat Poland and only draw with Gibraltar while Ireland get zero points. Surely that wouldn't happen? That has been the scenario which has been in my head since the fixtures were announced. Can you just imaging how it will feel in that last game with 10 minutes to go. The score in Faro is sitting at 0-0 and Poland are winning 1-0. What would happen next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 For once we can all agree gilbralter game is a guaranteed 3 points. Awe FFs min. How many folk said that about Georgia? Do we never learn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 It's not a safety net if Ireland draw... Aye, that "safety net" has got some awfy big holes in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 An Irish equalizer of course... Och min, you've got nae imagination. We score first, Gibraltar equalise in the last minute and McGeadie equalises in the 98th minute from the penalty spot after diving in the box.

Doric Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 the play offs will not be good to us Rather be at a full Hampden for a play off than a friendly with crowd of under 9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 By my reckoning, and somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, assuming that we're guaranteed 3 points against Gibraltar, if we beat Poland, we will get the play off spot, at the very worst ! If Germany beat Ireland, then Ireland beat Poland, we will get 2nd spot and automatic qualification. Poland, Ireland and us will all be on 17 points, however we would go ahead of both Poland and Ireland on the head to head rule, and Ireland would get the play off spot, again on the head to head rule over Poland. So, the bottom line is, we just have to beat Poland !!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 If we get 6 points, we get a play off place as long as Ireland don't beat Germany. We can't get 2nd place. We can still get 3rd place if we get 4 more points but only if Ireland lose both of their last 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go back to sleep !!!!! Mind you, beat Poland and we'll get a play off spot ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Mind you, beat Poland and we'll get a play off spot ! As long as we beat Gibraltar and Ireland don't beat Germany. Or we draw with Gibraltar and Ireland lose both games. You'll get there eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bino's Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Beat Poland and Gibraltar. Ireland draw with both Germany and Poland that's worth a bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new hugh Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Of course, all of this is largely irrelevant given that we haven't seen aNything over the past two games to suggest we're capable of beating Poland. We didn't have a single shot on target against Georgia ffs...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts56 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 We won in Warsaw last year in the friendly, and then drew there in the competitive game. They looked like a very average team with a superstar up front (a bit like Wales). I think they are very beatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
