bossman4 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If we don't beat poland and ireland get a draw in warsaw we are fecked, lets beat poland and get the six points. I am pretty sure we will get a performance off the players, we all saw the reaction to the tiblisi performance against Germany. If we weren't playing the WC winners that performance would normally get you three points. I am feeling positive about thursday and let the poles come to hampden with confidence about their star striker, complacency could work in our favour. Totally agree, Tblisi has given us the kick up the arse we needed I think. We can score goals but need a massive performance from all on Thursday and I'm confident we will get it. This game reminding me a bit of the Ukraine from 2007, lets hope for the same outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 In answer to the original post, Republic might have the best defensive record in the group and have only lost 1 match, but you have to take into account that you still have 2 of your most difficult games to play. You had Germany away at the beginning when they were still getting over their World Cup hangover. If Germany play like they did at Hampden you will get a lesson without a doubt. The agricultural dross played under O'Neill will not make any impression on the modern football played by the Germans. Republic fans said to me after the Parkhead game that we were lucky. I didnt think so as we were the only team trying to play football. Witness the second half in Dublin, long ball after long ball. If we don't qualify it will be because we made an arse of it against Georgia, not because Republic are a better team. If you qualify you will lose every game same as you're last tournament appearance. This is the type of self pitying bollocks I cannot bear. You were the ones that played them before us. Even a 'hungover ' German team should beat us and yourselves 9 times out of 10. You'd be harping on about it if it was yourselves that got that equalizer in the last few minutes. It was some result give we were missing some of our key players. By the way Scotland deserved their 4 points over us. We were shite away and gutless at home once you got the goal. No complaints there and delighted the Georgians got us out of jail tbh. I would definitely take our approach of keeping it tight against Germany with the actual possibility of points rather than have your heroic open performances that resulted in 2 defeats. Doesn't matter how well you did, you got nothing going toe to toe against them. If we do the same thing we'd be hammered tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyGC Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) I think the scores for the last games will be: Scotland 2-2 Poland Germany 3-0 Ireland Scotland 5-0 Gibraltar Poland 1-1 Ireland Slightly worried that the Poland vs Ireland game will be a relaxed afair due to the fact that both teams will qualify if they game ends in a draw. In modern football I know this is unlikely however, its a possiblity.. Also, if Poland know that 2nd spot is secure they might go onto play a 2nd string side against the Irish... Worrying times however if we do not do the business against Poland the final game will be irrelevant. Nothing less than a draw! C'mon Scotland!

bossman4 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Thing is though Mikey, ROI do that and take their chance in a playoff where they could feasibly go their win and qualify, leaves them with a scenario. No doubt Poland will go for the win if they loose to us on Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Bra Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Fully aware we played Germany before you did, I was at the game! What i meant was playing Germany now is a different proposition to when we both played them last year as they seem to be back to their best. The 3-2 score at Hampden flattered us, Germany could have gone up a gear or two if they needed. Nothing self-pitying about it. Don't see you having much chance against them if the play to a similar level. As far as Scotland v Poland & Poland v Ireland games are concerned anything could happen.

Well you're wrong there seeing as Germany will be one of the automatic qualifiers anyway. If we have a even a miniscule chance of automatic qualification in Warsaw, our team will go for it (though not as gung ho if Scotland beat Poland) Believe me my Scottish friend, it won't be a 'relaxed affair' in Warsaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossman4 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I think Ireland are much more defensivley set up to sneak a point in one of the game, so could see them sneak a draw, more so in Warsaw I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyGC Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Thought about this today. The best senario for us would be for us to beat Poland and Ireland to lose againt Germany. That would then mean that Poland would have to not lose against Ireland as if they did, Ireland would leapfrog them and take 2nd spot and Poland would take 3rd. Ireland would be going all out for the win whilst Poland would be doing all the could not to lose. Think Scotland will beat Poland and Gibraltar. Well, praying we do anyway!!

Pete Gas Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'll be surprised if we score more than 3 against Gibraltar. In fact, have we ever scored more than two goals away from home under Strachan? Remember we had two goals chopped off against Nigeria when leading 2-1.
