Problem is it is a downward spiral, the worse you are the harder the group you get. We need to do something to get ourselves back into the top 2 or three pots of seeds and have a chance.
Cant believe we have missed out on this one, we practically begged Uefa to extend the tournament to get us in!
Amazing though, Wales were shocking for as long as I can remember and Gareth Bale seems to have single handedly dragged them into the top 10 in the world. Is there a player anywhere who has had such an effect on a national team? Best couldn't do it, Ronaldo doesn't really do it, its an amazing feat. Ryan Gauld better be progressing well!

I don't see the point in all this analysis stuff. We took 4 out of 6 points from The Rupublic so they were not any better than us and we had two 2-2 draws against Poland so no big deal there. We held our own against the 2 teams we were really competing against (Germans not included). 1 result in Georgia killed us stone dead. It's that simple. One really,really woeful fuck-up.
SIMPLES!

Yes it's true that the other home nations were in groups that were Pure Pish but you have to play and find a way to win regardless of who we're up against. Whoever finishes 3rd when our group is over will be no certs to go to France in my view. I think the Poles, Irish and Scots are all much of a Muchness.

As much as I believe Strachan is the best man for the job I do regard this campaign as a failure as yes we had Germany,Poland,ROI but look at Iceland wouldn't say they are better than us they had to deal with the Netherlands,Turkey and the Czech Repubic and came Top of the group.
