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

I agree.

The way my dad was telling me last night he was asking me "What do you think tehy do next"
"Away goals?"
"Nope"
"And if they're level on this this this this this and this, what do you think they do?"
"Playoff?"
"Coin toss"


Apparantly Scotland have went out of a major competition before as teh result of a coin toss.
And apparantly for qualification last time, away goals counted as double (Which would be good, as that would have been equivelant to 4 goals against Norway), but not anymore.

I wouldn't go to a coin toss with Scotland and Norway because we have bettered them by the rules of the game. We beat them 2-1 away, they beat us 1-0 away so if it got that far we would have the edge.

You serious on it going on a coin toss?

That's a joke really. They should change it so that the teams have to play each other at neautral ground with extra-time and penalties being played if scores are level after 90 minutes.

Nah, i was talking to my dad last night about how it works. Away goals have nothing to do with anything.


It goes by points.
Then, if teams are tied, it goes by goals scored (Not difference, so they could have scored 20 goals and let 19 in, but if they've scored more, they go through)
If they've scored equal goals, it goes by goal DIFFERENCE (Should be before goals scored I say).
I fthey're tied there, then they look at the results against the top team (Italy), (they lost and drew one, too).
If theose results are the same, then they look at the goals scored against the top team (I don't know the Norway scores).
If they're equal on that, it's a coin toss.

Fletcher played well against Norway which im pleased about, he's still developing as a player and can make mistakes now and again but he's the type of player who works hard for the side, not a superstar but does the donkey work and he can run all day.

Apparently it isn't goal difference but on when the countries met, which means we'd win.

So if Norway draw and we win two thwn we get it.
Woohoo, only to be beaten in a play off, agan.

1-0 Norway.

So if that was the case, we'd take it on away goals, yes? Yes?

Meh, it's goal difference anyway, and I think Norway's is going to end up being superior, because even when we do win, its very rarely by more than a goal.

If two teams are level at the end of the qualifying campaign is the final position determined by goal difference, or the results between the two teams? If so, what was the score when Norway played in Scotland?

Nah, the ball fell to Miller who was clear on his own.

The ball fell to him, he hit a decent volley and it was blocked. Giving a penalty would have been a bit harsh considering they'd already chopped a decent looking goal off for Norway :-).

I watched the last few minutes of the match, and when Norway scored I switched over, fearing I'd jinxed them.

Still need a bit of luck, but even if they get two wins, and don't make the play-off position it's one hell of an effort, and should give confidence for the next qualifying campaign.
