Italy have had to join Portugal in the play-offs. All 2018 semi-finalists are already going to Qatar.

It’s a shame that the play offs will be challenging to progress from. Looking at the final table and an away win in Denmark would have seen Scotland top the group. Pity we started so badly that night.

Making it out of those play offs will be tougher than making out of an actual World Cup group.

There is no shame in Scotland missing out Baz.

Yes some very good teams there and although we are seeded and get a home tie first we could end up with Italy or Portugal or such like.

Ah, you’re right Phil, as soon as you said that I realised my mistake.

Little known fact. Aaron Ramsdale played one game for Worksop Town on Boxing Day 2015.

Cheg, I agree, rules is rules, but there’s surely a place for common sense. VAR is good but this is the sort of thing sort that is best off ignored.

No rules. Football is governed by the Laws of Association Football. As you were :-)

Ah, the beautiful game, remember that? Let's put down some jumpers and have a socially-distanced kickabout. Long shots only, and no hugging and kissing.
