Great performance from the lads, little bit nervy towards the end but the norwiegans were putting a lot of pressure on at that point. Its great to be able to watch a Scotland game without having your head in your hands. Its been a long time since I've been able to do that. What can I say about Kenny Miller? An absolutely fantastic game. Taking a volley like that after being kneed in the back and subsequently being subbed is what I call commitment. We never saw anything like that under Berti. I reckon that may have been in if the defender hadn't blocked it (good job he did aswell). I think 2-1 was probably a fair result after the way both the teams played. Having said that, if qualification comes down to goal difference (as I fear it might) that goal could come back to haunt us. Looking back at the campaign, we really should be up there in second place already. I mean only drawing with Moldova, no disrespect to them, but we should've won that. Not on the performance on the night, cos we were crap, but purely on the fact we're a better side. We should've drawn with Norway at Hampden aswell. Also, if the Norwiegans hadn't scored their last minute winner on Saturaday we would be in a much better position.

Italy------8---17
Norway---8---12
Scotland--8---10
Slovenia--7---9
Belarus---8---7
Moldova--7---5

Thats the group as things stand, although Slovenia will go up to 12 points when the final whistle goas against Moldova. That doesn't matter though as we have to beat them anyway in order to stay in it, and they are still to play Italy away from home, and I very much doubt that they'll win that. So if we do what we need to do and barring any miracles against Italy, then we'll finish above them anyway. We also need to beat Belarus at Hampden and assuming that we manage that then we'll be on 16 points. So really its down to what Norway manage to do in their 2 matches at home against Moldova and away to Belarus. Hopefully, they'll only draw with Belarus and I'm assuming they'll beat the Moldovans. This leaves them on 16 points aswell. I'm assuming it goes on goal difference then and not anything like matches played against each other or silly things like that? If so we are currently on 0 gd with Norway on 3. So unless we score a lot of goals and Norway don't score many then it looks like its gonna be very hard to get in. But, it wouldn't be Scotland if we didn't do it the hard way.

On a lighter note, Northern Ireland have just beaten Engalnd (legends, love the Irish) leaving them trailing Poland by 5 points:) How good would it be if we got them in the play-offs? :lui:

we just need norway to draw and hope we can take the remaining 6 points and we'll be in the play offs as it comes down to head on head games :) REALLY wish smith was there from the start of the campaign :(

Well, no doubting we'll need a good slab of luck if we are to make the playoff place, and I can't really see Norway dropping points in the last two games. Moldova at home should be 3 points, and Belarus will most likely have nothing to play for in the final match.. can't see it.

Still though, genuine progress is being made, and it appears the players actually know what they're doing these days! Let's not forget though, Belarus and Slovenia will still be extremely difficult games, but we have every right to feel confident. (Y)
