Strachan's Griffiths Excuse Is Height Of Nonsense

Gordon Strachan has lost the plot! I kid you not, the man has totally flipped and if his baffling team selections as Scotland boss doesn't convince you, wait till you hear his latest on why he won't play prolific hitman Leigh Griffiths. Gordon was asked by several Sunday newspapers and his excuse was that the Celtic striker is too small. Let that sink in for a moment because it truly is as mind boggling as it sounds in your head. Now before I continue I must confess to having a lot of time for Gordon. The wee man did an exceptional job for Celtic at a time when we were downsizing and sometimes it's easy to forget that. Unfortunately he also had a tendency to come out with some bizarre statements. For instance he was critical of fans with opinions and one famous quote concerns them sipping cans of Kestrel. Well sorry but I'm more of a Buckfast man and it wouldn't be out of order to wonder if Gordon has been at the Bucky after his latest comments. Apparently Griff can't get a game because he isn't tall enough to defend set pieces and his exclusion is purely for that reason. Er What??

What is it with these dinosaurs and their views on the game which belong in a secondary school P.E teachers notebook. Wait.. that last line is offensive to any secondary P.E teacher with even a hint of a brain and the bottom line is that Gordon is simply talking utter guff. Something tells me the wee man is indulging in a bit of his famed arrogance and trying to come across all "Mr know it all" He's failing miserably and his opinion is damaging and as far removed from reality as one can possibly get. We can only hope to God that there are no youth coaches listening to that claptrap and nodding their heads in agreement because if there are we are totally stuffed. Who know's, perhaps Barcelona's head coach Luis Enrique will agree with wee Gord's interview and after careful analysis of Barca's defensive set up at corners drop Messi immediately! Who cares about all them goals he scores when he can't header a corner away from his own box eh.

Speaking of dinosaurs there are rumours that Alex Rae is about to be unveiled as our new Scotland Under 19's manager. Yes it's the same one who doesn't believe in youth development. Strachan's comments on the back of Rae's pending appointment is a kick in the teeth to our national game and a boot in the baws to our future chances of success. We know why Rae is linked and it's not because of his ability. The jobs for the boys network is still alive and well in Scotland and nowhere is it more prevalent than the world of Scottish Football. Look at Clyde's Superscoreboard for Goodness sake!
