sandyb Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 What are you boys on... the video was inconclusive and he apologised for any misunderstandingĀ he went to a game with his mates and made some gestures....... so what..we all do that we have no forwards and has not played much for us or Shef Utd. When he does play he works very hard, is aggressive with defenders and has an eye for goal. he is an established goal scorer in the championship and working up to the EPL but like any striker he needs a run of games we need ever decent player especially up front. So get over this push. PS i cant condone the drink driver....he is a wanker for that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I was only joking with my comments, mcburnie has been poor for Scotland but so has many others and we don't exactly have many great strikers playing at a high level so I will support his inclusion in the squad although I feel that Naismith played quite well in the last games and I would probably prefer him or shankland starting up front for us atm.

Why on earth wouldn't he get stick? He's like s poor man's Connor Sammon for fuck sake.Ā If he's 'absolutely shite' then we're in even worse shape then I thought, considering he plays regular club football at a much better standard then every other centre-forward we currently have. Christ, we've had people like Eamonn Brophy and Marc McNulty feature up front for us recently, for fuck's sake - but it's McBurnie who gets singled out and castigated for being 'shite'. The criticism he gets is way beyond what it should be. Ā Ā Edited January 14, 2020 by scotlad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Aye Ben and James are big Killie fans. Ben in particular is at games home and away regular. That's them arriving at Ibrox when we won there under Clarke. Ā He's usually in the stands with the plebs though but I'm guessing he was in Directors box that night as the singer (from Prestwick not Ayr is a hun) but the twins are massive Killie fans from Fenwick. Was a cracking photo with him in the away end at Hamilton I think it was going nuts when we scored but I can't find it just now. Really nice guy and 100% not Ayr!

Squirrelhumper Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Not sure, Griffiths at least offered something before he scored. Can't think of 1 thing McBurnie has done in any games he's played for us. Plus Griffiths seemed like he genuinely wanted to be there.

The SFA still persist in claiming we won 4-0 against the Hong Kong national team (in which Kyle scored) but the truth of the matter is that it was actually a Hong Kong League XI side, and one of their players was a Scot !Ā The SFA at the time were desperate for Berti to get his first a victory after I think it was four defeats in a row and arranged that pointless game.

Mcburnie has his faults but the stick he is getting is OTT in my opinion Griffiths played about 12 times before he scored for us.Ā Off the pitch he also occasionally acted in a manner contrary to the impeccable moral standards of the TAMB (like going to football matches with his pals on his days off and noising people up ). 2 hours ago, PASTA Mick said: Spot on.Ā I struggle to warm to him but he is clearly one of our best forward options - although it is probably our weakest position.
