Right, right....


And we play whom in our last section match, the one we'll probably need to win about 3-0 to stand a snowball's chance of getting into a play-off tie so we can fail at the last hurdle yet again?


Let me think..... :rolleyes:

Holland? :cool2:

Did you not say you don't really care about the national team anyway on the other thread with the poll?

You are right, were knackered but surely no need to gloat about it no?

Come on doddie, how old are you? Surely you are not still thinking we can qualify for this world cup? Even if the unthinkable happened, and we managed to get 6 points from our last 2 games.:faf: Our goal difference wont be good enough. But again lets just say we win 5 nil in each of our last 2 games, and we do get that 2nd spot. We will then have to play a qualifier, against someone a lot better than we are. Doddie, we are oot, bring the fat lady out now.:wink:

We are 2nd. If we beat macedonia and take a draw with holland we'll come 2nd in the group. Given some of the other groups its not so mad to think we COULD make it.

The problem is, were inevtiably going to **** it up somewhere along the line like tonight!!!!!!

I'm not 100% sure, but i think we need 6 point minimum, and need to improve our goal difference a lot, to get into the top 8 places that get the play off places.

Before today we were 7th out of the 9 second placed teams - with the two teams below us, Croatia and Ireland, both having games in hand over us. Think we'll need the 6 points to have even a chance

Wrong on both counts. We are now 3rd on gd, also if we beat Macedonia and draw with Holland we'll have 11 points, if Norway beat Macedonia and Iceland they'll have 12.

I am old enough to remember Stein preferring Ron Yeats to Neil Martin at centre-forward against Italy.

To remember Bremner missing from all of 6 inches against Brazil in 1974.

To remember us making IRAN look good in 1978.

To remember Miller and Hansen running into one another in 1982.

To remember us failing to beat 10-man Uruguay in 1986.

Costa Rica in 1990.

Norway and then Morocco in 1998.

The Faroes in the First Year of the Blessed Berti.

What on earth makes you think I would ever consider THAT Scotland team (or any Scotland team that ever was) EVER coming anywhere near beating The Netherlands?

Or even Macedonia.

The Fat Lady has sung.

And the song she sang was "Good-bye-ee, good-bye-ee, wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee...." :devil:

I said I find it hard to get emotionally involved when the team's set up and run the way it is by the SFA.

But watching that tonight still hurts.

I guess I feel about Scotland the way some folks felt about Hibs under Williamson - or Paatelainen last season....

Not gloating. Sorry if it sounded that way.

yeah....out of all the second-placed teams, with results against the bottom placed teams not taken into consideration, those two are below us.

I hear you mate...that's kinda why I get so pissed off to be honest, due to the way we are run and thar arse buirley has been worse than the 2 judas huns before him ! Never thought id say that.

You're lucky mate...you seen 78 and Gemmil ! Us unlucky punters seen 1998 and failiure :greengrin

I'm sure we'll fail to qualify, I just hope for the outside chance that we don't!

Rubbish first half of football. Second half was how it should be. Milner and Defoe changed the whole game for us. Both of Hollands goals were very poor ones to give away. Fantastic atmosphere in that stadium tonight - both sets of fans chanting Bobby Robsons name :thumbsup:

In the interests of closing off ths thread, final score 2-2, and other than the 2 individual aberrations which gifted Holland their goals, England dominated the game. :thumbsup:

That's as may be so but engerlund will once again be gubbed on penalties and ultimately WIN as much as Scotland namely, SFA ! HAHA :greengrin

Of course, silly! I know that as well as you, but this is the mindless optimism and totally unjustified euphoria stage of the build up, so let me go on dreaming just for a little while longer :wink:

Forza Inglaterra, Forza Hibs! :flag:
