| 101. Author: Paralex Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 18:12 Just looking at the highlights again. I`m sorry to admit a slight amount of perverse pleasure in the fact that the Polish player who missed a couple of sitters, strongly resembles Kyle Turner. Reply |
| 102. Author: parathletic Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 18:22 I thought the exact same last night Paralex :) On a side note the under 19s are in action against France on the SFA youtube channel at 7.30pm tonight. Reply |
| 103. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 23:40 So we`re definitely in Pot 3 for the World Cup draw after both Czech Republic and Slovakia won tonight. Reply |
| 104. Author: da_no_1 Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 23:54 wee eck, Tue 19 Nov 23:40 Yeah. We were in Pot 3 for the last qualifying group. That worked out OK 👍 "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 105. Author: Paralex Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 00:35 What benefit did we get, if any, by winning last night? Reply |
| 106. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 01:00 Didn`t it mean we`re in the play-offs next March for the possibility of staying in Group A of the Nations League? Reply |
| 107. Author: Big T Par Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 01:02 Paralex, Wed 20 Nov 00:35 Ending the campaign on a high 😊 Looking at pot 2, there`s no really any teams that stands out as, hope we don`t get them. Bring em on. Post Edited (Wed 20 Nov 01:02) Reply |
| 108. Author: Big T Par Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 01:09 wee eck, Wed 20 Nov 01:00 Yeah. We`re seeded and playing one of Ukraine, Greece, Turkey or Austria. Reply |
| 109. Author: OzPar Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 03:37 Yeah. We`re seeded and playing one of Ukraine, Greece, Turkey or Austria. === They are all difficult but beatable. Reply |
| 110. Author: RossF Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 05:43 It’s ridiculous that we are pot 3 when we were competing against more superior teams in Group A. Slovakia were in Group C, which resulted in them playing much weaker teams and becoming a pot 2 team for the World Cup draw and having a playoff spot for the World Cup already. San Marino could well end up in the playoffs for the World Cup because they won their group! It seems like we’re the only team that has been punished purely for trying to better ourselves and playing tougher opponents. Before the nations league took place, I thought being a group A team would guarantee us a playoff spot and at least be pot 2. Portugal taking a weakened team to Croatia has cost us dearly. Reply |
| 111. Author: d3monstrate Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 06:55 Losing the 2 late goals in the first two games cost us dearly, not Portugal taking a weakened team... Reply |
| 112. Author: da_no_1 Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 07:32 When the Nations League started I thought there was a chance a middle of the road team like ourselves could end up being victims of our own success. It`s good to be in the top section but it does mean the probability of losing more games, dropping down the rankings, lower qualification seedings and no chance of that fall-back play off place. Wales were lucky last time around. They stank the top tier out yet still got a play off as every other team qualified through the normal process meaning they had to get it. At least they got pumped 😂 "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 113. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 08:14 da_no_1, Wed 20 Nov 07:32 There must be a fair chance of Scotland drawing Wales on Friday, in the Nations League home and away playoffs, scheduled for next March. Win that and we stay in Group A....  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 114. Author: DJAS Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 08:15 For the Euros it works out a lot better to be in A than the World Cup. Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply |
| 115. Author: alwaysaPar Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 08:34 GG Riva, Wed 20 Nov 08:14 There would have been except that Wales won their group so have automatic promotion to group A A fantastic achievement for Bellamy who has done really well since taking over and developing a really good team spirit within that group of players Reply |
| 116. Author: parathletic Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 09:42 I caught the 2nd half of the Wales game last night and they played some good stuff. Reply |
| 117. Author: parsfan Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 09:59 RossF, Wed 20 Nov 05:43 It does seem a bit off with us competing for Pot 1 one minute but ending up in 3. What happened to 2? At the start of Monday`s game we needed us and Portugal to win with a 3 goal swing. But, when we were 1-1 and Portugal were winning I`m sure they said that 2-1 for us would now be enough due to goals scored. So, if that`s true, Croatia`s equaliser bumped us down two pots. Edit: just remembered. It wouldn't have been on goals scored, that would have been level. It would have been on, I think, the ninth tie-breaker criterion, whatever that might have been. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference  Post Edited (Wed 20 Nov 11:23) Reply |
| 118. Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 11:53 although we are pot 3 our playoff game in march means we will be in a 4 team pot for WCQ. Due to restrcitions etc we are limited who we can play. This is the view from the brilliant team behind the "scotlands coefficient" X page. LOTS of travel excitement to be had from pot 4 so will start getting ready to go to cyprus for the 3rd time in 5 years.  Post Edited (Wed 20 Nov 11:53) Reply |
| 119. Author: Paralex Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 12:46 Even with some of the best informed minds on dafc.net, there is still some residual confusion regarding pots and groups, goals scored, goals against, World Cup and Euros standings. The ordinary punter would need a masters degree on EUFA rules and regulations to get their head round all of the permutations, and the average Scotland supporter, although maybe more savvy than in previous generations, might just give up trying, which takes away some of the enjoyment, if you can`t register what your team`s playing for.
