Huge loss that McFadden will miss this game.

**Sir David Gray** · 05-09-2009 03:49 PM

Is this Scotland that we're watching!?

The second half performance has been excellent and we really should be winning by a lot more than 2-0.

Just a shame that it's a couple of games too late.

Very difficult to work out the second places, but Ireland are effectively on 7 points and +1 goals as an example

Looks like Northern Ireland are also effectively on 7 points and -1 goals.

If I'm right, as it stands we make the play-offs if we don't lose on wednesday.

N.Ireland still have three games to play.

Even if Scotland win on Wednesday nothing will be sorted until October when the rest of the groups are finished.

**Steve-O** · 05-09-2009 04:05 PM

MUCH better 2nd half performance, great goals too

Always said Burley was the man for the job - tactical genius

No, a draw on Wednesday could mean Scotland only finish 3rd in the group behind Norway. Win or bust in all liklihood.

We win

That's all that matters

I would rather have George Burley in charge than Wallet Smith or "I love being Scotland manager or I will stay as long assyou want" erseholes , its the pinicale (sp) of a decent career and George Burley is a good manager

He gave up a decent job tae take this job, there wre few contenders

I like him

Away to Poland and Czeck Republic and home to Slovakia. I did say 'as it stands' and it is difficult to calculate

It's really difficult to keep on top of it as it changes all the time. The wikipedia page has the qualifying updated game by game, it will be all change again after tonights games.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FI..._qualification

It'll give you a sair heid trying to work it all out.

We could lose on Wednesday and still finish 2nd depending on Norways last two games...they play Iceland tonight in Rejkavicantspell...

As things stand right at this very minute it's;

Russia-12 points from 5 matches
France-10 points from 5 matches
Scotland-10 points from 7 matches
Bosnia-9 points from 5 matches
Croatia-8 points from 5 matches
Hungary-7 points from 4 matches
Switzerland-7 points from 4 matches
Republic of Ireland-7 points from 5 matches
Northern Ireland-7 points from 5 matches

Surely unless the tables discount the results against the bottom team in the group(who might not yet be known)it's all pretty meaningless.

The list from FH above does discount the results against the bottom teams.

Obviously the bottom teams could change (which would change the whole table completely) but the table is correct as of now.

I'll post it again in a few hours after all of today's matches have been completed.

One thing's for sure, I think we really need to win again on Wednesday to have any realistic chance of making the play offs.

***Sylar*** · 05-09-2009 05:03 PM

So, we're really hoping both Northern and the Republic of Ireland get horsed in their next few games then?

Too many possible outcomes to be assessing just now!

We'll have to cheer on England on Wednesday as well as we need Croatia to drop points.
