"Norway - Scotland"

Kenny Miller already looks as if he won't last the match, he's just not fit enough to do this constant running.

They are still favourites to finish second, though. They're two points clear of Scotland, and level with Slovenia/Slovakia/one of those Slo places, and the Slo place has to play Italy.

" Never got near our goal "

Yer that's why we scored two and could have had four.

I hate him, and Carew, and all those arrogant morons that thought they were going to walk over us.

Well get it right up you, bunch of Norse bawbags.

And Hareide said: "It was disastrous. Scotland never got near our goal.

"But they scored twice, which is a concern. But we are still favourites to finish second."

Cheeky bas

I hope anybody but Norway get to the World Cup now.

Yup, we need to score 6 goals (although we can win each game 3-2 if we want), and Norway to win 1-0 and draw 0-0 if we've to go through without Norway losing a game.

Well, that's as far as it's going to go, because Norway have scored loads more than us.

We'd have won it that year as well.

In like the 1930s... world cup games and palces were deceided on coin tosses.

" Rar rar it was a gentlemen's game back then rar rar "

Scotland qualified once but because England beat them in the group they refused to go out of pride or something.

Well my dad said that that's what they were saying the new FIFA rules for the qualifiers were on the radio after the game, so he only heard it a few hours before he told me.

I'd assume it's up to date.

What makes it awful though, if we hadn't conceded the late goal then if Norway drew and we won our other two, we'd go through, even if Norway won the other game 58-0.

BAH.

This rule about results against each other is a more modern rule which your dad might not have looked at.

It's the system they use in the champions league group stages these days.

Don't know if it's being used in the World Cup qualifiers though, couldn't find any info on the FIFA site to let me know :-).
