robinforlife2 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Why? Also next to impossible. Unless Norway beat Spain on Sunday, Scotland qualify. Scotland need only a point from their games against Georgia or Norway, or Norway not to get maximum points from their two games remaining. Scotland are as good as qualified and deservedly so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinforlife2 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 The odds of Scotland not to qualify are 105/1 and even then that's not value! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Fairly straight forward from my point of view - their players deserve to qualify. The fans who booed our national anthem recently and hate everything English do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean we don't ever deserve to qualify? I don't agree with booing national anthems but the fans in Glasgow took it to another level. There will always be a few that do it, I don't ever recall the whole of Wembley booing though. If they did then they were wrong to do so, in my opinion. Scotland have played well and deserve their success but I enjoyed watching the likes of Bellingham who was so good against them in that friendly. The booing probably inspired England, they have played much worse in friendlies at Wembley when the games have had no edge so maybe I have it wrong and we should encourage it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to read, I haven't been aware of mass booing for many years You will always get the odd idiot at a game, but nothing like it used to be I guess all will be revealed in a few hours, as tonight's silence etc will certainly being stirring emotions from some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNQ Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 *******.. they boo in mass against the monarchy when they are in a rare public sporting spotlight and then vote in mass when in their private seclusion at a referendum to remain as part on the UK.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's loud enough to be picked up on TV then that's probably more than "the odd idiot". Just smacks a little of double standards is all to complain about it being done to us. "They were louder" is the flimiest of excuses imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can count on one hand the number of times I've been at an England game where the opposition anthem has been booed by England fans (mostly against Scotland or Wales, where it is reciprocated, not that that excuses it in any way). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinforlife2 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 I went to England Vs Germany a few years back and our fans literally booed the whole national anthem and some of the chants were disgusting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 It seems highly likely that Scotland will qualify tbh. A very good start and an excellent home record going back to early 2021 in competitive games, in theory they could still drop to 3rd wirh a point in Georgia but it would require a 2 goal win for Norway at Hampden and Norway to beat Spain- head to head would come into play if Scotland and Norway were level on points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as likely to have a tougher game vs Scotland as we would vs Norway. I’d just like to see the best players in the world playing in the best tournaments, so it’s a shame Haaland won’t be there and Dykes & Che Adams will!

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Odegaard is also Norwegian but on balance they shouldn't trouble us much. Competent side with one world class player and one very good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
