Any other racial stereotypes you want to toss out there? FFS Get down off your moral high horse.

marinello Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 His comments on this matter should be added to the list of stupid comments he has made over the years. Ranging from his statement in recent times that his players struggled with simple passing to his castigation of a female journalist that she should stick to child birth he really is an unlikeable guy. Tries to pass himself off as being smart when in reality he isn`t. His only defence is that he seems to say these things when he is under pressure. If he could just stay away from a microphone or ensure that he only speaks from a script prepared by someone with a degree of basic tact then I could stomach him staying. The players seem to like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you compound sh1te with more sh1te. No one, whether you imagine it or not, thinks that when Strachan opened his trap about genetics considered he was implying that we need more black players playing for us. Don't waste people's time.

WTF was he on about then? I don’t think it’s an unreasonable extrapolation of what he was trying to say. 4 minutes ago, Parklife said: No moral high horse.

To throw in another stereotype, Strachan is a 60 year old from central Scotland, he probably is a bit less enlightened than likes of yourself...

You're getting closer. 'WTF is he on about' is a phrase I have been using on him for years. It doesn't mean there is some hidden academic philosophy behind his analysis. It means he is a bumbling old man akin to the annoying odd guy in the group who you wish would stop attempting to be clever with words and just listen. He's an embarrassment in front of the camera and it's not comfortable to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's go! We as a nation know our dope! As soon as we embrace this we will become very good at it. I'd blame 300 hundred years of unionism and the consequent bad diet that has caused us to be relatively small way before genetics. Funny how the nordics are all huge in the same climate or worse but ran their own show. What people call Scots now are just a horrible example of what happens when a nation is handed over to folk who want you dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobster Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 We lost Armstrong and he didn't replace him with an energetic midfielder. We sat back, like we did in the first three games of the campaign. We should have pressed them like we have been doing. Instead we just sat deep, handed over possession to a technically superior team and paid the price. Nothing to do with genetics. Everyone toad him but he just wouldn't listen.
