Richey Edwards Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 4 hours ago, Richey Edwards said: I was firmly in the Strachan GTF camp after the draw against Lithuania and losses to Slovakia and England. However, to give credit where it's due, he's not lost anymore games during a time when we could not afford to lose anymore, and to still be in a position where qualification is in our hands is a good achievement. Well done on delaying the inevitable Mr Strachan, but cheerio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 That second half was screaming out for some sort of change. Instead we wait until we're 2-1 down and even then we don't make a change.Not fussed either way what happens now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acastus Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Ultimately it's two failed campaigns. It's time for someone new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yes. It's not the taking part that counts. Yeah guess we should have sacked McKinnon before he left for united with us for not getting us promoted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Of_Kings Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Alasdair LamontVerified account @BBCAlLamont 2m2 minutes ago More GS: Not thinking about future - only players, staff, fans and family. Looking after them. He should leave, he refuses to play the best players. Not giving Mcginn or McGregor a chance while picking players like Morrison, Phillips, Fletcher etc... just because they play down south!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Of_Kings Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Plus he took ages to start playing Griffiths!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 His press conference displays perfectly why he has to go. Blamed genetics because our players aren't big enough. Having spent 2 years saying otherwise, now our players apparently have as much technical ability as any of their opponents. The worst part is, you know, even he doesn't believe it.

Miguel Simao Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Our best players are Griffiths, Armstrong, Robertson, Tierney and Brown. They're all under 6 foot. He's an utter gobshite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 As discussed earlier in the thread: everyone who was singing 'One Gordon Strachan' in Gibraltar is responsible for the failure of this campaign. Nonsense. You're presuming the person we got on would've done better. That's an assumption that simply doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 His press conference displays perfectly why he has to go. Blamed genetics because our players aren't big enough. What has genetics and height got to do with them passing us off the park for most of the second half?What has it got to do with us lumping aimless long balls out of our half and giving up possession to a good team that we clearly underestimated.

Mr Heliums Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Matt Phillips is a six-foot-one kick in the bollocks to his own argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Strachan's press conference was once more ridiculous. Senseless garbage that isn't only insulting; it also betrays a striking inability to offer any kind of meaningful analysis. We've heard that shite about looking after his players (who do it for nothing) and their families, before. The stuff about genetics was mindblowingly stupid. He's an imbecile.

Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 We were 4th seeds, we came 3rd. Have we really failed? Definitely not. As in any tournament, there will be arguments about when to bring in new starts. This has been the most uplifting campaign for years. Our squad is getting better and more experienced, and we are in the best place we've been, in terms of the likelihood of future qualification, for a long time.Say WGS stays. Does anybody really think McGinn and McGregor will not feature regularly? Would you have started either tonight? I know I wouldn't.And, on a good run of results, why not use the subs who've worked for you so far?That said, how we didn't manage to cuff a deid side in a - for them - dead rubber will haunt me for a long time to come. But only because I'm Scottish. And at nearly 60 year old, I should really be inured to it.Finally, somebody - please - talk me through the wunderkind waiting in the wings to take this group of players further than the wee fella did.Sorry. Forgot about Mcletme afftheleish-and-I'll-take-the-first-offer-I-get. He's an annoying, carnaptious wee b*****d at times, but he's our carnaptious wee b*****d.
