    So how does qualification now work, as its 24 teams in the finals isn't it?

    Gib will be playing home games in Portugal I believe.

    9 groups. winners and runners up from each group qualify automatically. Hosts and best 3rd place team also qualifies. The remaining eight 3rd place sides compete in play offs for the remaining four places. So even Scotland should get through.

    Correct. They are improving their current stadium to make it into a FIFA Approved 10,000 seater stadium. They hope to have it ready by the end of 2016.

    Since when did Gibraltar have a team? Never heard of it before.

    With the tournament now geared up to ensure all the big boys qualify who we get in qualifying shouldn't really matter. Countries we haven't played for a while would be preferable.

    The Organiser, I must know you by sight if not by name, I don't come across too many Charlton following England.

    Gibraltar will be playing in The Algarve stadium near Faro. I hope to get to a few of their games whether they play England or not - great bunch of supporters as I am sure The Organiser will testify...

    Shame - I loved the uniqueness of their ground pre-season, right next to the border and runway.

    Haha, I'm watching on uefa.com ... this draw is following the tried and tested template of dragging things on for as long as possible.
  • creepyaddickcreepyaddick
    Can we draw Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland & Rep of Ireland?

    That would be good!

    Charlton beat them 2-0 pre-season! :-)
  • TelMc32TelMc32
    I'm surprised they didn't add Ukraine/Russia to the "can't be drawn together" pairs.

    For away tour...I'm hoping for the Republic to get Cyprus, Malta & Gibraltar (Algarve) :)
