Cool... I get a home game :greengrin

[SteveHFC]

Spaim, Norway. Tough group.

[Squealing pig]

Sore one so far lol

[Sir David Gray]

Scotland with Spain and Norway.

Not good!

[Sir David Gray]

Italy, England and Ukraine.

[Sir David Gray]

Spain, Scotland, Norway and Georgia.

[Northernhibee]

****ing typical. We get Spain, Norway and Georgia whilst the other groups get Finland, Faeroes and Forfar U9 girls.

[Brummie_Hibs]

Terrible draw so far. Absolute nightmare.

[SteveHFC]

Terrible draw so far. Absolute nightmare.

Glad we have the play-off.

[Squealing pig]

Gibraltar snatched away from us

[Sir David Gray]

Spain, Scotland, Norway, Georgia and Cyprus.

We'll do well to finish in the top two there.

[AgentDaleCooper]

Couldn't be much worse...we'll get to see if Clarke is capabale of performing miracles, i suppose...

[Diclonius]

Best player in the world in our Pot 3 team. ****ing atrocious.

[Northernhibee]

Spain have world class players but they don’t have the arse of SJM.

Bring it on.

[Big_Franck]

Spain, Scotland, Norway, Georgia and Cyprus.

We'll do well to finish in the top two there.

That's about as difficult as it could have been. Disaster of a draw.

[Jack Hackett]

Gibraltar snatched away from us

Bummer! That would have been the icing on the cake for my attendance prospects

[gbhibby]

Best player in the world in our Pot 3 team. ****ing atrocious.
Ryan will take care of him.😁

[Sir David Gray]

That's about as difficult as it could have been. Disaster of a draw.

Couldn't have been much worse really. Norway were the team to avoid in pot 3 and lo and behold they're in our group. 🙄

[Diclonius]

Of course it will be Georgia, again, which ends our qualifying.

[Ged]

Anyone know what our allocation is likely to be for Spain? Will they play it in Madrid or Barcelona, or take it somewhere smaller?

[Doh Rae Me]

Gibraltar snatched away from us

Why were they put into group B?

[Gordy M]

Remember its the top 2 that go through. Confident we can at least get 2nd.

[Brummie_Hibs]

Anyone know what our allocation is likely to be for Spain? Will they play it in Madrid or Barcelona, or take it somewhere smaller?
They rotate, so don't know.

Last game was in Alicante.

[gbhibby]

Why were they put into group B?
I think because they couldn't be in the same group as Spain

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Anyone know what our allocation is likely to be for Spain? Will they play it in Madrid or Barcelona, or take it somewhere smaller?

They do move them around the country, Seville is often used. Very rarely play in Madrid or Barcelona.

Hopefully Haaland is injured when we play Norway.

[Jack Hackett]

They rotate, so don't know.

Last game was in Alicante.

Just down the road from me, so would have been ideal... Capacity is only around 29k though, so would have been difficult getting a ticket. Barcelona would be a trip and a half. Love the place

[Sir David Gray]

Why were they put into group B?

They're not allowed to play Spain due to political tensions.

[DIXIHIBS]

Anyone know what our allocation is likely to be for Spain? Will they play it in Madrid or Barcelona, or take it somewhere smaller?

Last time it was Alicante. Could be anywhere really. Hopefully announce venue quickly.

[HH81]

If Norway are pot 3 then the rest of the squad can't be that special.

[3pm]

If Norway are pot 3 then the rest of the squad can't be that special.

They lost their last 2 games to Serbia and Slovenia with both Haaland and Odegaard in the team.

[Scorrie]

Of course it will be Georgia, again, which ends our qualifying.

I may be wrong but I thought we had a guaranteed play off spot by dint of winning our Nations League group?

[Paul1642]

On a hopefully Irrelevant note most of the harder teams we could face in the Nations Leauge playoffs (if necessary) have a good chance at going through their groups meaning a potentially easier draw.

[Paul1642]

When do we find out the fixtures?

[DIXIHIBS]

I may be wrong but I thought we had a guaranteed play off spot by dint of winning our Nations League group?

We do

[Scorrie]

We do

Ok thanks. Hopefully we won’t need it but handy to have looking at that group

[Col2]

It is literally the most difficult draw we could have got.

Incredibly Northern Ireland (5th seeds) have arguably an easier draw than us 👀

That play off we secured now looks like gold dust.

[gbhibby]

Plenty of bedwetting on here today.

[Col2]

Plenty of bedwetting on here today.

Aye nice one. Hardly bet wetting.

[MWHIBBIES]

Plenty of bedwetting on here today.

Norway are a decent side, with 2 absolutely wonderful players.

Spain obviously well better than Scotland.

No one has said anything unreasonable.

[Speedy]

It is literally the most difficult draw we could have got.

Incredibly Northern Ireland (5th seeds) have arguably an easier draw than us 👀

That play off we secured now looks like gold dust.

Turkey in pot 4, and Slovakia in pot 5 would've been trickier.

Norway one of the teams to avoid in pot 3 though.

[gbhibby]

Aye nice one. Hardly bet wetting.
It was tongue in cheek comment as comments have been pointing out the negatives. At the end of the day we have to play what is in front of us. Glad we have the insurance policy of the play off. There are no easy games in Europe now so let the fun begin.

[Kavinho]

Spare a thought for Ireland, with France Holland and Greece

[DH1875]

When is the Spain games?

[Glory Lurker]

If Norway are pot 3 then the rest of the squad can't be that special.

Exactly. It's Georgia that bothers me. We'd be as well forfeiting the Tbilisi tie.

[scm70nyd1973]

Cool... I get a home game :greengrin

Me too - hope it’s held in Seville like in ‘85 - 2.5 hour trip for me 🤞🙏

[Glory Lurker]

Me too - hope it’s held in Seville like in ‘85 - 2.5 hour trip for me 🤞🙏

A different result though, hopefully!

[scm70nyd1973]

A different result though, hopefully!

Indeed - I was there too - one nil IIRC - lots of oranges being pelted at our bus (I went there from Glasgow on a PTFC supporters bus) - not unreasonable TBH as we had been suggesting that Arconada’s wife worked in a house of ill repute 🤭

[Sir David Gray]

When is the Spain games?

The fixtures aren't out yet.

[scm70nyd1973]

The fixtures aren't out yet.

Minor detail 😂😂😂

[blackpoolhibs]

I think it's a decent draw, we are a much better team these days, and Spain apart, the rest will not be thinking we are an easy game.

That’s decent, could come down to the last game

Uefa have messed up it looks like. New fixtures being announced soon.

[Hibbyradge]

'Kin bring them on!
