Gordon Strachan: 'Scotland have a problem - genetically, we are behind'


Bless their little cotton socks

It's an idiotic statement considering his team selections and substitutions.

Also the Slovenian who scored their goals is only 5'10''.

I think the solution is to get a taller manager...

[vandeleur]

Der liddle people need a new manager

[Seshmeister]

He seems to be good at motivating good team spirit and so on but he's got a hellish habit of sticking with things that don't work and he talks total shit at most press conferences.

The survey of team heights only showed a difference of about an inch on average between the tallest and smallest.

In the last Euros the three smallest teams in Europe were Spain, Scotland and Portugal who won it.

Some pretty decent teams below us on height.

Who has the tallest team? Average heights of the top 50 Fifa ranked national teams in 2015.

An Englishman walks into a bar, usually there would be an Irishman, a Scotsman and a Welshman but they're sat at home crying whilst the Englishman is at the World Cup in Russia.

[Seshmeister]

An Englishman walks into a bar, starts widespread crowd violence ruining the atmosphere and then leaves prematurely and everyone blames the 'system'.

[Von Halen]

That’s ironic Sesh. So you’d blame the individual, and not the “system”? Typical Liberal. Twist it to fit your agenda.

Of course it’s the “system”

It's a sports gag, you wouldn't understand.
