It is too difficult to write about our disappointment – and its already been expressed very “eloquently” via other channels. Instead, with a positive look to the future, the AATA relaunch their bid to have a Spider Monkey as Scotland manager.

Let’s face it, a monkey could do as good a job as a human – and way better than a certain particular human.

What does an international manager do? He pretty much randomly picks the team from a group of players that pretty much picks itself; he comes up with any old tactical plan from a limited range of formations; and he gibbers a lot in an attempt to get those players to be motivated to play for their nation, which strangely seems to be necessary.

In fact all the gibbering probably just confuses the bananas out of them and they don’t really understand it anyway.

We can get anyone as its assistant to fill the trainer role – someone to hold the list of options as the monkey stabs at it with a marker pen. This is bound to result in better tactical choices then those Scotland have set out recently!

So, we say – get a spider monkey as manager. It doesn’t really have to be a spider monkey, any old monkey will do, but the spider ones are cool. Like spider man, but a monkey. And it would appreciate that with this great power comes great responsibility.

We could even call it George, if you like - or Berti or something else cuddly, like Walter.

Come on – support the cause – Spider Monkey for Scotland manager!!!!!!
