lineo Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 If he lived in your town you would consider him a local worthy. Yes he's passionate at football, wears his heart on his sleeve and can't keep quiet on the sidelines ... so what, are there Brownie points for being demure and well-behaved. He can be controversial but he's also inspirational with his players and encourages them to try harder constantly. Against Girvan the other night he did his usual haranguing of the referee but on that occasion it had some justification as the man in black made so many poor decisions it was adding to the danger players face when studs- out challenges are made without being penalised. The sending off of Isaac Kerr for a perfectly timed and legal tackle which won the ball in the penalty box was on the blind side of the overweight and can't keep up with play linesman and the ref was coming up behind the play as well and was badly sighted. The Golden Rule is if you don't actually witness a foul then it didn't happen. Your best guess is not evidence. Chris Strain had to take to the field as a player and did well, until it came to the penalty kicks. The Girvan keeper moved forward and sideways well before the kick was taken and saved it. It wasn't the first time he had done that. The referee gave the goal until he saw the lino on the goal-line holding his flag up. He went over to talk to him and ordered a retake. Chris Strain scored. The keeper retrieved the ball and kicked it out of the ground and got a yellow card for that but got no yellow card for the several times he cheated by moving substantially before on the earlier penalties. Girvan won the penalty-shoot out and good luck to them in their promotion. Buffs are still in with a chance of topping the league, if that happens, what will the pundits say then about Strain Junior?

I am sure he is not the first and will not be the last to get a booking. I have to laugh at some of these posts on here he may not be every ones cup of tea he is just passionate and vocal. Yes he is vocal to referees but tell me a manager that isnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightwelsh78 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Agree entirely. I attended the KIlwinning V Girvan cup match last night. I found Strains antics quite appalling. Warned by the linesman after only 20 minutes Strain continued to harangue both the referee and far side linesman throughout the first half. Basically the bloke just couldn't keep his mouth shut. Sure, Buffs fans will say he is passionate etc etc however, when he verbally abuses an opposition player from the sidelines referring to him as a "fat c*nt" this goes way beyond the limits permitted. He even had a pop at a Buffs supporter midway through the 2nd half. He has a good team at Kilwinning and,for all Kilwinning lost the match on penalties last night, they played with 10 men from the 40th minute and completely controlled this match. They were most unfortunate to go out on pens. A touch of irony though when Strain, starting for probably the first time this season, stepped up to take his sides 3rd penalty. A poor penalty it was with Strain firing it directly at the keeper however, and to much astonishment, Strain was awarded a retake following the linesman (who Strain had abused throughout the match) spotting an infringement. Strain made no mistake with the retake and smashed it high into the back of the net. If Kilwinning are to win promotion then Strain must learn to channel his "enthusiasm" accordingly as they will doubtless be in for some touch games in the top division. You either have sight & hearing problems or were not at the game as most of the points you raised there are nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
