SkyBlueScot Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The Record is reporting, through his Dad, that McBurnie is 'mortified.' https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/oli-mcburnie-mortified-shock-video-19023011 You can't deny the commitment he's shown so far. I'd rather base my judgement on that rather than a video out of context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Naismith, McBurnie, and Russell, Shankland certainly wouldn't look out of place in the company of these 3 greats... Naismith has been very good for Scotland, scored some big goals and played up top himself plenty of times. He's scored goals for fun with Killie/Rangers & Hearts, scoring over 70 goals in the top flight in the SPL and played over 150 games with Everton/Norwich. He;s also played 49 times for Scotland scoring 10 goals. He's miles ahead of the level Shankland has ever been close to and given he's playing lower league football at the age of 24 (when Naismith was that age he was Rangers to man and about to move to Everton) then i doubt he ever will get to that level.

Exactly, he had a choice in the summer and stuck to a division he knew he could score in and chose not to test himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RightPeg Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 1st listen I couldn't hear anything else but "I hope not" then what I thought was him saying "shite", but not "it's shite". Listened again today to just the audio without the distraction of the video and he defo says "I don't know, are you?". Fleck says he's injured so Oli says "you're gonna leave me to go on my own" then clearly a different voice says "shite". There's about 5 different conversations going on there so it is hard to tell but I'm pretty confident the above is the closest thing to what happened.

Most of us would be put in a very hard position if any off the stuff we said about our wives's, bosses,workmates friends and all sorts of other shit for a laugh came to light. But you shouldn't say that about your country, well you can only say it about things you care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree... The level the player is competing at is the most important factor in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Twitter is full of Rangers pish, how's saying that being bigoted ya gimp? Well that’s not what you said. you called him a “bitter hun cunt” calling one of our players that is a disgrace. The word is used offensively to describe Rangers supporters with connotations of their religion. Much in the same way a word beginning with F is considered sectarian by the authorities.

Is the most important factor not just being good.. If everyone had the same attitude as yourself then a player like Andy Robertson would never have made it to where he is now. Imagine Dundee Utd scouting him at Queens Park and saying "Good player that Robertson but look at what division he's playing in, think we'll pass on that one" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what happened to Robertson Obviously the best players end up in the best leagues unless Celtic or Rangers are their boyhood heroes. The Shankland case is a total enigma. Surely teams have looked at Shanklands scoring record and sent scouts to have a look yet no team with any ability to pay more than Dundee UTD has put in an offer. Quality of the league is a pretty good indicator of the players ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
