RadgerTheBadger Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Jürgen Klinsman has been emptied. Watch this space, I'll be setting up a go fund me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Barbrady Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If you think Strachan dissing the Scottish league is bad, Klinsi spent the first four years trawling the third German tier for sons of US Army vets, instead of drafting the best of the MLS. Not that it bothers me, but it's a regular stick to beat him with, wrongly imo when you watch shite like Forrest, McGinn, Brown and Wallace blowing out their arse after half an hour. That said, Strachan's the one deeming that acceptable of professional athletes. Klinsi would last ten minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the next is Norway who reached Euro 2000. I've not bothered to look at the whole world but might do so this afternoon. Could be frightening. Erm... Wales waited from 1958 to 2016. 5 hours ago, HibeeJibee said: If you want another fright... Again leaving aside Israel, the only nations in that list currently ranked below 140th in the world are ourselves (57th) and Sierra Leone (97th). Horrific !! Wait, what?

NewHope Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 'No-one has waited longer?' Wales - 58 years. Scotland - 20 years. We have 38 years until we wait longer than Wales, so the statement was incorrect. Bandying these comparsions about is a little non-productive anyway. We should be concentrating in getting our own 'hoose' in order. The hoose on the hill, or the sixth floor of Hampden, to be precise. NB - I realise we don't have any divine right to qualify but nevertheless, twenty years is still, at the very least, two years too fucking long. So, sorry wee man... but, aye, Strach has to go.

eez-eh Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Soooooo, you pretty much agree with the principle behind the point being made, but you're just choosing to interpret his wording slightly differently from everybody else so you can be a pedant and appear more intelligent. Seems a bit pointless tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Wales qualified for Euro 2016, so they're back to '0 years'. It's not a difficult concept to grasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Barbrady Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Not really interested in Botswana or Vanuatu getting a continental finals' berth, as frankly that just makes us look petty even discussing it. I'm a lot happier about pointing to potentially direct opponents, and comparing from there.....our failure is much better reading from that point of view.

paddymcp Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Gordon Strachan going away on a golfing holiday and then coming back and him then deciding he had the hunger to continue (and so he will) when none of us have hunger for him to continue is very irritating indeed. The SFA are fucking amateurish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Andy Murray's fitness coach in to teach all coaches in Scotland the way forward. ...........................Only to have the likes of Jocky Scott telling him that it's a load of pish and what's wrong with the way we have done things for the last 50 years !

You'd be right but for 1 letter - if he said "no-one had waited longer". But he didn't so you're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Was Strachan at the Accies-Hearts game on Monday? And if not, why not? Can't recall ever seeing him taking in a game at NDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 He's probably refusing to attend games at New Douglas and Victoria Parks until Hamilton and Ross County are relegated to make way for some big clubs who couldn't stay in the top drawer on merit.

RadgerTheBadger Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 He's lead us to 67th in the rankingsDoes anyone know you can find archived rankings? It would be interesting to see where Levein left us?I'd imagine some of the feather wearing TA will be loving the fact it's 67. I've already had one on my Facebook relating it to becoming unofficial word champions. Very sad really that this is the way our support acknowledges things now. Our game is in the gutter and as until certain people wake up and realise this it's only going to get far far worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our game is in the gutter and as until certain people wake up and realise this it's only going to get far far worse Levein left us at 70 based on those rankings. The highest he ever reached was 41st. Burley left us at 46th, but it's important to note that when he joined us, we were 14th. He had a bit of a boost midway through the reign, but other than that pretty much took us down, then left us with Levein, who took us down further. In contrast, Strachan probably should have left us at 67 (could well get lower come next year). His high was 22nd. So at the moment, the lows were about the same as Levein, but the highs were much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
