Zappa 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Now we just need to beat both of these teams, take the 6 points & prey it's enough. A point from the Holland game would be a big help, but we can do it without that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Just been looking at the tables again & even if we manage to scrape it into the play-offs, we're looking like having a tough play off game to make it to Africa. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 826 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 We are in a great place to finish 2nd.....the problem is the 9th best runner up doesnt make the play offs (terrible decision) and currently we are 9th - the worst. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlock 0 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Funnily enough, Croatia 2-2 Ukraine was also a great result for us despite them not being in our group. Holland have now already qualified so I hope they put out a young experimental team against us at Hampden. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Gribz, our group only has 5 teams while the other 8 have 6. Apparently the way they're gonna fix that problem is that the 2nd place team in groups 1-8 will have their 2 results against whoever finishes bottom in their group chalked off, so some groups will have 6 points being deducted from the 2nd place teams' final points tally. We definitely need at least 6 points from our last 3 games to have a shout. Edited June 7, 2009 by Zappa 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching the score on that one too mate. Wanted Ukraine to win though, because then they'd both have been on 10 points instead of one of them (Croatia) now being on 11. Good result for Ukraine though, getting a point away at Croatia. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 We might sneak into the the play offs where we will likely come unstuck. Unless we get rid of Burley and the new manager picks his best players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other group has a San Marino type team also which is a banker 9 goals while we have tougher teams. If only Iweloomo (sp) scored! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
