    No we don't because once we start asking those questions we have to ask whether or not Ireland can play as we have failed to beat liechtenstein before this haven't we.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Its not that unusual is it? Liechtenstein playing with 10 men for over an hour are always gonna let in a few goals. Even against Malta.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,014 ✭✭✭Eirebear


    I'd say Salzburg's 0-7 defeat against Vienna is probably that little tiny MASSIVE bit more strange really..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,575 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    We can put that down to them being down to 10.

    I still think they should play in the qualifiers. It's a World or European championship. You should have the possibility of playing all teams competing, be they ridiculous or massive.

    On a side note Montenegro beat Norway tonight. We pretty much have no team we can demand 6 points of for the upcoming qualifiers.

    Southampton 6-3 Man Utd. Now that was pretty unusual.

    As this group goes on, Malta are going to be a potential banana skin

    Obviously your saying its worth bettin on games involving Spurs Villa and Reading to be high scoring matchs......hmmmmmm as good a theory as any knowing my history with betting on football :)

    That lad Mifsud who scored twice for Coventry to knock Utd out of League cup, scored 5 tonight!

    Completed his hat trick with a peno in the 21st minute. Liechtenstein had a player sent off in the peno incident.

    Still a very strange result because they are gradually improving and Malta are pretty awful tbh.

    Is that unusual because it didn't actually happen? :confused:

    Pato is a Brazilian and Brazil won the game 1-0.

    Patos goal was a beaut. What a player that kids gonna be:)

    I thought Messi was going to be the superstar of the next decade but he has some serious competition in Pato

    I've seen the idea mentioned that all the UEFA minnows like Andorra, Liechtenstein San Marino etc. should play off against each other in a league or tournament to earn a certain number of places in qualifying groups for the WC & EC, i think it would be a good idea, it would give the minnows some competitive football to play and would reduce the number of teams that make up cannon fodder in the regular qualifying groups.

    Im not so sure...in theory its a great idea.

    But it then leads to qualifying for the qualification becoming a success, thus devaluaing the tournament IMO.

    See the premiership/champions league as an example.
    You have Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea all trying to win the league...after that you have "We got fourth fifth or sixth place! WooHoo! were fantastic! yay!"

    dont forget a certain qualifier against san marino

    Well it is a success if you are San Marino, countries with tiny populations have spent their time since the 1990s getting hammered home & away, the only success they know is avoiding the wooden spoon, put say the bottom 8 teams in UEFAs co-efficients and let them scrap it out for places against the bigger nations.

    i honestly cannot see how Andorra being whipped home & away campaign after campaign bar an occasional freak result can be good for small teams, also a team like France playing Andorra home and away is a pointless match. now if Andorra had beaten a few teams and earned the right to play France then maybe they might give them more of a game i don't know, what i am saying the situation as it currently stands is a bit of a joke.

    To the person who started this thread: What on Earth is the point you are trying to make here?; and what solution do you propose?

    Like others here, I don't see anything unusual with the scoreline at all.

    I do see what your saying, but how would you make that split?

    Scotland had fallen to almost as bad as some of these teams in the rankings recently but in one campaign managed to trun it around and almost qualify from a group which included France Italy and Ukraine...by this proposal they would have been close to not even being allowed in such a group.

    The strangest scoreline I've ever seen was East Fife four, Forfar five.. now thats a tongue twister.

    Another mistake, Bocanegra score the US' first not Donovan.

    Well if the small teams didn't like it, presumably they would have given up? I assume they still get decent crowds in to watch these games. I like it the way it is. Seems elitist to deny the smaller teams a proper chance.

    Ireland are a minnow.

    Couldn't beat Cyprus.

    Barely beat San Marino.

    That is the mark of a minnow.

    Most unusual result for me last night was Austria 3 - 4 Holland. Austrians 3 up inside a half then it all went tits up. I know it was only a friendly but come on.
