You know what, I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Yes, he got it wildly wrong on Sunday evening and his stubbornness in the early part of the campaign has ultimately cost us... but the signs of improvement were evident, even if those signs emanate from Brendan Rodgers' Celtic side.
It's the hope that kills you. The somewhat knee-jerk reactions of 'Strachan must go' I thought. He deserves one more shot. One more go to get us out of this 20 year lull, if you can call it that.
Not anymore.
His comments in the press are the kind of thing youd have expected him to say at the start of the campaign. Leigh Griffiths wasn't tall enough, so he opted for the completely inept Steven Fletcher. Callum McGregor, even to this day has been inexplicably left out of the fold. Seems apparent that he doesnt have the required 'genetics' to play international football. He clearly hasnt learnt from the 1-1 draw at home against Lithuania, the humbling in Trnava, or the battering at Wembley.
If only Lionel Messi was 6 foot 4.
It's ludicrous that he could possibly believe what he's saying. Is he forgetting these weak, tiny Scotsmen passed Slovenia off the park only a few months ago?
Football has moved on, and it has left managers like Gordon Strachan behind.
It's time that the SFA do the same.
