scotsgary1 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The way I worked it out was, Germany-Poland draw, Germany beat us, We beat Poland and Poland v Ireland draw means we qualify automatically along with Germany. Don't think that sequence of results is out of the question! The only equation you need to know is..... Beat Georgia. Beat Poland. We get automatic qualification. No need get out the calculators here.........................simple Regardless of other results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmac1 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Germany win Keeps Poland within distance assuming we do the business in Georgia If those results happen then we move above Poland into 2nd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagDude Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The only equation you need to know is..... Beat Georgia. Beat Poland. We get automatic qualification. No need get out the calculators here.........................simple Regardless of other results. Not true. Say we beat Georgia, Poland and Gibraltar we'd be on 20 points. If Poland beat Germany, Gib and Ireland they'll be on 23 points. If Germany beat us, Ireland and Georgia they'll be on 22 points. It's very close no matter which way we look at it.

Ok you got me but you might as well say if we dont beat Gib as saying Germany dont beat Poland. Taking your fantasy out the equation. We need to beat Georgia and Poland to Qualify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanlad Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 A draw - keep the group tight Keep pressure on Germany for their trip to Hampden rather have them full of confidence. Reality is they should win both games comfortably but happy to be wrong This. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 This. A draw is the worst result. It would mean we need to get something from both the Poland and Germany games or rely on Ireland helping us out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to beat Georgia and Poland to Qualify Germany not beating Poland is realistic though. Us it beating Gibraltar isn't. Anyway of those scores went like that then we'd maybe qualify as best 3rd place team. So you both could be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde1998 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 For those of you trying to work out what the table would look like with certain results, I stumbled across this fantastic site when looking for an [English] Championship table calculator. It turns out that this website has a table calculator for almost every European competition. Euro 2016 Qualifiers: http://www.worldfootball.net/table_calculator/em-qualifikation/ Scottish Premiership: http://www.worldfootball.net/table_calculator/sco-premiership/ Notes: Uses goal difference above head-to-head on all tables. Scottish Premiership doesn't include post-split fixtures until those fixtures are announced. ---- With my predictions (Scotland, Germany and Poland only): Georgia 0-2 Scotland Germany 1-1 Poland Scotland 1-2 Germany Poland 3-0 Gibraltar Scotland 2-1 Poland Ireland 0-1 Germany Gibraltar 0-3 Scotland Germany 2-0 Georgia Poland 2-0 Ireland I have us missing out of automatic qualification by a point. A Germany win against Poland would put us through via head-to-head, while a Poland win would see us miss out by two points. My view is that a Germany win is the best result we can hope for.

binobear Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I might have to re-think based on that - though surely those results would see us through as best placed third team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde1998 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I might have to re-think based on that - though surely those results would see us through as best placed third team? Possibly - I'll do some predictions for the other groups to see what I think is likely. 14 points against the top five teams should be in the ballpark though.

gazayr Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The only thing I take from your comment is (once done it is a breeze) The breeze is on..........................

Clyde1998 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I might have to re-think based on that - though surely those results would see us through as best placed third team? My predictions for the other group suggests that we'd qualify as the best third placed team. However, the one issue that we may have is Group F and Hungary. If Greece finish bottom of that group, instead of the Faroes, then Hungary might snatch it - due to Hungary not taking maximum points off of Greece (they drew 0-0 in March).

deso1 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 We need to win in Georgia+Gibralter...................... and we need a Germany or Poland win in their match........and we must beat whoever losses that game. IF THEY DRAW, WE ARE FCKD. unless the republic do us a favour somewhere...........still the best part of a week to go and my heads mince.

GHfaeGTA Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Think I read before that last Poland win was first win ever against the Germans and it was something like 24 shots for Germany against 4 for Poland. Surely this time their luck will run out. Can only see German win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
