[Eck]

We'll kick off with a 1-1 draw at home to Gibraltar.

Germany
Republic of Ireland
Poland
Scotland
Georgia
Gibraltar

[Drvonshineck]

Decent draw, I reckon it will finish:

Germany
Poland
Scotland
Republic of Ireland
Georgia
Gibraltar

Play-off place or hopefully best place 3rd place team which means automatic qualification.

Come on Scotland give us something to shout about.

[Eck]

That would be a good result,I think i'll try to get to a few of the games.

[bisphamseasider]

That's a pretty good draw for Scotland although not as good as England's.

There should be a decent battle between Scotland and the ROI for that 3rd spot.

[Eck]

If we get independence,will we not be allowed to field English players anymore?

[bisphamseasider]

Even the Tories won't be able to do anything about that Eck.

Are you serious?

If so, yes.

Players eligibility is set by UEFA, if your parents or grandparents are born there.

Gilbraltar are a good example as now they are a UEFA member they are including professional players that fit the above criteria.

The Germans must be pissing themselves laughing 30 points from 10 games.

Not the first time I have caught out by your dry humour.

Probably not the last time either.

Crap humour more like.

[Drvonshineck]

Do you think we will qualify?

Are the games going to be at Hampden?

[Eck]

I like Strachan in charge,he will get the best out of the players,passionate about Scotland.He's the best manager in place to give us a chance. I will go to as many games as I can. As for qualification,if we can get the fans behind the team,I think we can qualify.

[Eck]

I think the commonwealth games should be finished before the Euro 16 campaign starts so I expect they will be.

The Gibraltar game at Hampden is the worrying one.

Them taking a "shock" lead is almost inevitable - as is the fact that our best performance in footballing terms will be one of the two games against the Germans.

We won't qualify, by the way.

We will

I wonder how many patriotic Scots who are shouting for independence will be in the Ireland end at Hampden when Scotland play the Republic ???

Not half the number of Ireland fans who'll be expressing their Irishness by wearing a British (Celc) jersey I bet.


Ok draw for the Scots. Ireland clearly the weakest second seeds, Poland a strong third seed though. Good three way battle for 2nd 3rd 4th.

[garyspain]

really hope it in at Hampden or Ibrox. It would be less likely to cause problems.
