A draw or a polish win. A polish win and a point for us in dublin would just about eliminate the Oirish

Either a draw or an Ireland win, I would have thought.

I know Scotland's remaining games, what about our other contenders?
We're pushing for at least 2nd, I agree that we don't want the Poles getting too far ahead

Goal Ireland!

Having thought about it that HAS to be the best result for Scotland.

1-1. Good result for Scotland if it ends this way. A typical battling performance from the Irish and most certainly not a game for the faint hearted.

1-1, full time.

Excellent result for Scotland.

Yep, great result for us. We will have to be at the top of our game to get a result from our game against Poland.

I don't think this is a good result for Scotland. An Irish loss would have left them 3 points behind. It's all to play for though. Everyone has to play everyone again. Still a good chance of automatic qualification but also chance of elimination

If we lose to Poland and Ireland then we are not qualifying it's that simple

Need to beat the poles at home and at least a point in Dublin to get through IMO. Lets hope the Germans beat Ireland and Poland.

Win in Dublin and 3rd place is ours.

Beat Ireland, Poland and Georgia and we're through.

Would have been complicated if Ireland had won tonight, just from the point of view of working out how the "head to heads" would have ranked the 4 teams level on 10 points.

Individually, we would be above Poland (due to away goals in the draw them) and Ireland (1-0 win), but behind Germany (2-1 defeat). Yet Germany would be behind Poland (2-0 defeat) and Ireland (away goal in draw against them). So we'd be above Poland and Ireland and behind Germany, but Germany would be behind Poland and Ireland!

Then I realised it would basically be like a league of 4, with results against Georgia and Gibralter disregarded.

Is this why Germany are shown as being above us in the league despite us having a better goal difference? I was confused about that! :confused:

A draw is a good result as it keeps Poland in touch for second place and we are ahead of Ireland also. Still very close however I see no reason we cant go to Dublin and get a result. Just got to hope our players stay fit for the June game. Could have done with McCarthy getting sent off last night. Got to be said wasnt hugely impressed with either team alot of effort but not much football. If we can win in Ireland must have a great chance.

I see the other way around more likely. Point against Poland, win against Ireland. Great to still be in with a huge chance. Just our luck that we have such a good group in the first year that its top 3 to get at least a play off space.

I think a draw was the best result for us. If Ireland had lost then their game against us would have been more of a MUST WIN for them.

Yes. It would be even more confusing if it was a 4-way tie, as it would have been had Ireland won 2-1 last night, as we would have gone 2nd above Germany as well as Ireland (on goals scored in games among those sides).

If we lose to Poland and Ireland we don't deserve to qualify!

Best third placed team gets an automatic place.

Half way way through the games, and our group heads the race for the 3rd auto place..

However given our group I would be surprised if that stays that way though we live in hope.
