    I could just about forgive the handball if it weren't for his fist pump.
    Not to mention actually kissing the sleeve the ball hit

    Peter Crouch needs to set up a sperm bank north of the border.

    I agree that he has done well with what he had to work with but to claim that the reason they did not qualify is because they are not tall enough is complete nonsense. More to do with a lack of quality than any other reason.

    I hope he keeps his job too. I have no idea whether he has been a good manager/coach or not given the resources Scotland have (not paid enough attention to the Scottish national team in recent years) but when he is in the mood he is the most entertaining manager in the history of the game. There was a thread on here about 10 years ago by PontBlue that listed about 40 Strachan one-liners and I had it pinned on my wall at work. Whenever anyone was on a downer I used to read out a few and laugh out loud. Changed the mood 100%. A sample from a few years ago:

    https://sabotagetimes.com/football/3...fans-must-read

    30. On Wayne Rooney: "It's an incredible rise to stardom. At 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than Sven Goran Eriksson."

    9. Gary Lineker: "So Gordon, if you were English, what formation would you play?"
    Strachan: "If I was English I'd top myself."

    3. Reporter: "So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?"
    Strachan: "What areas? Mainly that big green one out there…"

    1. Reporter: "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?"
    Strachan: "Velocity."

    I do like GS. Very dry sense of humour.
