Updated 3rd place qualifying table now looks like this (games against bottom teams removed) 1) Albania - P5 GF7 GA 2 Pts 11 2) Hungary -P6 GF5 GA3 Pts11 3) Norway -P6 GF5 GA8 Pts10 4) Switzerland - P5 GF9 GA4 Pts9 6) Netherlands - P6 GF10 GA6 Pts7 7) Russia - P5 GF7 GA3 Pts7 5) Ireland - P5 GF5 GA5 Pts6 8 ) Ukraine - P5 GF3 GA4 Pts6 9) Israel - P5 GF7 GA11 Pts6 Upshot is this Northern Ireland will qualify on Monday if they win at home to Hungary. A draw will guarantee them a playoff spot Wales will qualify on Sunday if they win at home to Israel. A draw will guarantee them a playoff spot England will qualify tomorrow if they beat San Marino (Slovenia cant overtake them on the head to head) and then there is Scotland Fail to beat the Germans on Monday along with ireland beating Georgia in Dublin and automatic qualification is gone. To get a playoff spot the following would have to happen Scotland beat both Poland and Gibralter Ireland fail to beat the germans Draw with the Germans along with ireland beating the Georgians and automatic qualification is still possible but the following would have to happen Scotland beat both Poland and Gibraltar Ireland fail to beat the germans but beat the polish away from home Beat the germans and fuck knows what could happen....shergar might do a lap of honour on the back of Lord Lucan?

Well Germans being ruthlessly efficient for once this campaign Northern Ireland 1-0 up on the might Faroes

Air Singapore all the way

jesus fuck watching scotland reminds me far too much of pretty much most of the aberdeen teams of the pre mcinnes era. I know very little about tactics so can someone explain the logic of bringing on a defender when you are a goal down midway through the second half and then putting on a goal-poaching striker with 10mins to go but taking off possibly the one player who will be able to create an opportunity for him?

Really need to get to half time without conceding again. 2-0 and I say it is over (and not just this match)

Had the turks not lost a last minute equaliser to latvia they would have been 2 points ahead of the dutch now

and sent off

Welsh apparently ranked 9th in the world. First time they have ever been above Englandshire Wales - 9th England - 10th Scotland - 31st Northern Ireland - 41st Eire - 51st Depending on results both Wales & Iceland could qualify for the finals next week

2478 According to AFC Heritage That old stand must have had its safety certificate updated.

Yon Tic off to Amsterdam, Istanbul and Molde

Just spoke to the ticket office and apparently there will be cash gates tomorrow Seems sections of the Jackie Husband Stand (closest to the open end) have also been allocated.

Have a look at the current planning and building regulations for new sports stadiums & stands.

Slightly on topic Just seen the plans Partick submitted to redevelop the open end of Firhill. 350 seater stand with flats, officers and retail https://publicaccess.glasgow.gov.uk/online-applications/files/8A6D92FA32A4656BDE707C194B4E36EE/pdf/14_02744_DC-ELEVATIONS_AS_PROPOSED-3150545.pdf Actually larger than the previous scheme they had rejected by the council back in 2011

No idea if I can go. Would have been a last minute rush out of the Office had there been a cash gate. However 1825 tickets available - 1758 apparently sold. The pull of the big red machine is strong these days.

Less than 70 tickets left according to the site. Well that's me out then

I would like to go given its the closest fixture to me however work appears to be blocking the path. Anyone happen to know if there will be cash turnstiles on the day or have Partick also adopted this 'all tickets must be purchased in advance' bullshit?

I reckon Tommy wright's lot can take them.

You make the assumption that Hibs and the SRU would let Hearts move in and not hit them with a hefty bill for the privilege. Personally what I find incredibly frustrating is AFC fans that have seen their team go debt free for the first time since fuck knows and build a team that is the envy of most clubs in Scotland now stating that we should admire a team that 3 years ago was one decision away from liquidation I recall similar stuff being touted by AFC fans when mad Vlad was bragging about a 50million pound main stand & hotel complex. Many sports teams have 'planned' to build new stands or new stadiums in 2-3 years'. Plans and reality are rarely kind to each other. The ever fickle football fan

Morton away preferably on a Tuesday night. That way I might actually have a chance of going to a game

That's called a welsh accent

13000 for one season (or even part) is not a hassle. Temporary Changing rooms, physio rooms and office accommodation are also readily available. The delay with football stands is making them safe for x number of thousand fans. the office and changing room areas can be completed fairly quickly with the actual seating and fan facilities following on later. I reckon it would be a lot cheaper than renting Murrayfield Hibs stayed at Easter Road when they re-built the main stand. However that is hearts and re-buiilding the main stand at pittodrie is in a a different league to the one at Tynecastle.
