darkman2

We are certainly up for the second place playoff I reckon.....were we go from there though.

Could have been far worse then Bulgaria tbh.

Bounty Hunter

So we get Italy, the rest of the group is alright though. Croatia vs England & Ireland vs Cyprus talk about history repeating itself

f*ck no is that alright. look at the amount of travelling to crappy eastern european countries! Georgia ffs! we're not going to see an improvement in the away record anytime soon i reckon. this is the type of group that screams points dropped coz the players couldn't be arsed.

I could see us getting into the playoffs but dont expect to be an automatic qualified runner-up (that is how its working this time aint it)

Suits us fine, better that Italy run away with the group and leave us to fight for second.

copacetic

I really don't understand people complaining about that group, it could hardly have been better, except maybe greece instead of italy..

Unearthly

Italy will win every game.

Then it will be a case of 5 other teams slugging it out for 2nd with the most mediocre football you will ever see.

pretty much every country in the lower seeds was the same though, no matter who we got you would have said the same.

I agree with you, we are miles for a shoe-in for 2nd or even 3rd, still it's not exactly the group of death, if we can get a decent maanger in place, we certainly would have a realistic shot at 2nd.

Speaking of Groups of Death, Norn Iron's one looks a b1tch.
