Don't ever say something like that again!

And the North losing. Whoop.

**Closed Account** · 07/09/2015, 8:29 PM

**SkStu** · 07/09/2015, 8:37 PM

All over. Super!

**eekers** · 07/09/2015, 8:52 PM

Germany need just a point next game away to Ireland to Qualify.
Hope they just go looking for the draw.

**SkStu** · 07/09/2015, 9:05 PM

They owe us for being the first team to play them after WWII.

The green jersey just isn't cutting it anymore.

After the last visit of Germany we could use a favour!

If only groups were decided on how many goals you score against teams you nevertheless still lose to home and away.

Isn't that a fiction? Too tired to look it up now, but I think green is the old colour of Prussia or something.

James Morrison is suspended for Scotland against Poland in a month's time after picking up his third yellow card against Germany. He's only missed one other game in their qualifiers, the game in Dublin, but I'm not sure how much of a loss he is to the Scots.

A certain Scottish striker on the fringe of becoming a fringe player scored a hat trick for Everton against the EPL champions

Yes if I could choose one Scottish player to get injured it would be him, not in a malicious way, but he is the sort who can make a big difference to a team.

Comments I found

http://www.futhead.com/15/players/8310/steven-naismith/

"He actually plays like Messi! (obviously a little worse) but his movement, passing and finishing is certainly comparable!"

"im a city fan but i love watching Everton because of this guy, his movement and work ethic are incredible, definitely deserves a position change and upgrade"

I would not disagree and his recent hat trick confirms my worst fears!

McArthur I assume will take his spot?

9 days to go. i'm dreaming of a glorious irish 1-1 draw with a similar score in glasgow, guaranteeing us a playoff spot and a visit to warsaw knowing a win would seal automatic qualification.

given that everything went perfectly in terms of result in the last set of games, the above is sure to come true.

**DeLorean** · 29/09/2015, 2:16 PM

That really is the dream scenario.

If we win: We want Scotland to win

If we draw: We want Scotland to draw

If we lose: We want Scotland to lose

That about right?
