This is going to go very close to the end.
I think that most people expected Germany to win all of their games to give them 30 points
Poland, Scotland and Ireland to battle for second place
Georgia to beat Gibraltar but struggle in the other games
Gibraltar to be the whipping boys.
Key for Scotland qualifying was to win the home games v Poland/Ireland and 6 points from Georgia/Gibraltar. Anything for Germany would be a bonus
The target for Poland/Scotland/Ireland to be in the mix was therefore 18 points.
What has happened is that Germany have dropped 5 points from target, Scotland and Ireland gained one from last night and Poland gained 3 v Germany but dropped 2 from last night.
Assuming that everything goes as expected (home wins and Germany winning all remaining games), we will have
Germany 25
Poland/Scotland/Ireland 19
Margins are going to be very tight and absolutely no room for any error.

How ironic if a point dropped in Germany were to cost us.

And John O'Shea has just made it more interesting !

I'd have taken a draw at the start, so I've got to be happy now, even if it is disappointing to loose a lead.
Well done Scotland. Well done Strachan. Very interesting group that we now have.

Frans o Freddie
Welcome to Firhill
6’ 4” Defender now you’re talking Archie
All we need now is 6’ 4”, 30 goals a season man to neighbur Dools
Why does the hight matter ? If this mythical player can score 30 goals a season, I wouldn't mind if he was 4' 4"

We have Ecclestone now, so I can't see us needing 3 strikers. Maybe a move in the summer depending on how things work out. Now if Barcelona were to put in a £50,000,000 bid for Dools then maybe Lyle would be a good replacement, but I just can't see us needing more than Dools and Big Ecc this season.

I hope that Fredric can't read all the negative crap on here before he has even kicked a ball in anger.
Bonne chance Fredric or boune tchance Fredric depending on which part of Belgium you come from.

decent 3 points I suppose considering ROI had to score a last minute winner to beat them. It was probably the most comfortable 1-0 I've seen in ages (apart from that shot they missed from 12 yards).
Poland beating Germany 2-0 now screws the group up big time, we're going to need to win every home game, take 4 points from Poland and ROI away and also beat Gibraltar and Georgia away. I can't see that happening, I think we'll be lucky to see 1 point from Poland and ROI away to be honest.
Or match Poland and beat Germany at Hampden/Ibrox/Parkhead/Murryfield or wherever the game is played.

Prison record number ?

12th September 1998. Beat Stirling Albion 1-0 at Firhill. Nothing memorable about that. The Bino's player being dragged from the field by their manager after a red card, different, but not hugely memorable. What does make this game stick in the mind is that it was the last time I saw a player who was older than me score. Tommy Bryce was the player/manager and headed in the only goal. I'm pretty sure that is a personal record that will now survive.

Another late goal in a close game. The boo boys will be running riot with that.

Squeeky bum time

For an unseaded draw, it is quite amazing that the top 4 teams remaining (on last season's league placings) all avoided each other.
-
Don't fancy Rangers at all. They will be playing with 12 men on the park as Falkirk found out last night.
-
Hibs please. Don't care where.
Aberdeen or Dundee Utd would be the worst

Big Ecc !

Out of interest how many goals have we lost with seaborne in the team ????
Could,t that sort of question not have waited until full time. We had been in with a chance until you hit the post button

Did McMillan not play central defence for Dunfermline ? If McMillan is at rightback, then I'd like to see SOD infront of him on the right. He has played that role very well before,
Is Higgy banned from this game for picking up 5 yellow cards, or is that the next league game ?
As captain, I just can't see Stevenson getting dropped

All 4 goals in 1971 for me. It was humiliation for a Celtic side that contained Lisbon Lions and a young Dalglish. Most of them played in the final of the European Cup against Feyenoord too.
More recently, I still love Chic Charnley's 35 yard screamer against Celtic in Kenny Arthur's testimonial. It was great to see him roll back the years. Unfortunately, the YouTube video seems to have been deleted.
It had been a while since I had watched my dvd of that match, but I did so about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I had remembered all of the goals as absolute crackers and all potential for goal of the season. Rae's (in my mind was a thunderbolt from about 30 yards out. What struck me is how crappy each goal was. The Celtic defending was absolutely shocking. I guess it's a case of the older I get, the better I was.
Having said that, offer it now and I'd take 4 crappy goals to beat Celtic 4-1 in this season's final.

The fourth goal tonight is going to be an absolute screamer !

Classic ..... "It has been a difficult season for Dick Campbell, but now he has the SPL in his sights"
:lol: :lol: :lol: -
I wish it was Thiago Silva or Giorgio Chiellini who was training with us and looking for a club as we could easily find place for them. That said, McFadden or Pearson would be great additions to our squad and I would certainly rather have either in my team than playing against me.

Ah but !
The title of the thread is "greatest goal" nothing about aesthetics. I have to agree with our good Lady and say that the goals from Gibson and Ritchie probably changed the history of our club. Had they not gone in, then I suspect that we would now be a part time club in the 3rd or 4th tier, or out of business by now.

Seabourne Frans in defence. Will they be calling us the French Navy ?
