What will be will be. History is against us, as we are capable of ***king anything up when it comes to football; but we have one Hell of a chance. Nobody would have dared believe we could be in this position with two games to go. :itch-chin:

I really hope we do. A win on Wednesday puts REAL pressure on the French and Italians. That might be all it takes cos the French will then have to take 3 points from Ukraine if we were to get 3 points from our last two games.

 

Could be squeeky bum time with Ukrainian shirt sales going through the roof on the final match day when we have no games remaining and Italy play the faroes and France go to Ukraine

France will beat Ukraine over there IMO.

 

Paris was a wake up call to them i think. they will take care of their own results.

 

beat Georgia and Itlay and we dont need to worry about anything.

If we don't beat Georgia on Wednesday then I'll hit the panic button, but we HAVE to take something from Georgia or I will cancel my flight to Austria.

 

 

Tempting fate?? :itch-chin:

Thats what I'm saying. We don't HAVE to take something from wednesday. If we lose(not the most likely outcome of course) we'll still go through if we beat Italy. On a slightly related note, did that prick Chick Young not say he would cycle to Austria if we made it.

I think it was the opposite actually. I'm sure he was so confident of qualification that he claimed he'd cycle to the Alps if we didn't make it!

No it was at the start of the campaign and he said if we DID qualify then he would cycle to Austria.

 

As for can we do it? Of course we can, but will we? Scotland have specialised in dramatic failures over the years, if we miss out now this would be the glorious failure to top all our previous attempts. We should get something in Georgia but with the squad stretched through injury and suspension we might get the win we desire.

 

It will come down to getting a result vs Italy so it is vital we don't pick up needless bookings like McCulloch's, Ferguson's and O'Connor's on saturday. Any ideas who is one booking away from a suspension?

When the draw was made, Georgia was the fixture that put the sh*tes up me. Traditionally, this game will be our inevitable banana skin.

 

I don't think we've got much chance to be honest, particularly considering the history of our national team.

 

As sure as death & taxes, Scotland will ***k it up.

 

1978 - Iran & Peru

1982 - goal difference for the 3rd time in a row

1996 - The space between David Seamans legs

1998 - Morocco

2003 - Holland 6-0 Scotland (6-1 agg)

 

Yet another glorious failure surely awaits Scotland. I'm proud to be Scottish and I love supporting my country however, ultimately we are a nation of losers..... and so it will transpire, whether that be on Wednesday night or next month in Glasgow.
