BucksburnDandy Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hopefully that's him finished with us. James McCarthy tried to pull a fast one with Ireland earlier this week. Ireland made him go over to get checked by their medical team and lo and behold who was training like a dream yesterday but the bold James McCarthy. Time the SFA grew a set of balls and started making "injured" players get checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor1996 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm not McBurnie's biggest fan, but if he's only on the Bench for Sheffiend United then he's not 100% fit. I don't want a player who isn't fully fit and match fit in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 He’s either fit or he isn’t. If he is not fit he shouldn’t be playing any football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Surprises me that. Unlike the likes of Tierney, who never mentions in social media, turning out for Scotland, McBurnie has been retweeting things about him being in the squad this week. Would of thought if he didn't want to be there, he wouldn't of bothered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few Ireland fans on Twitter mentioned the other day that he's never been particularly impressive for Ireland anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Apparently it was Sheffield United that made him withdraw from the Scotland squad (most likely to play in this game). sounds like the Steven Fletcher incident all over again.

COLT NY Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Sounds like his return to full fitness is being managed by his club... Wouldn't happen with England, but we'd have a pretty thin squad if we banished all players who've done similar in the past couple of years.

Exactly, if he’s only on the bench for sheff Utd to get minutes to help with fitness he’d have been aswell doing it for Scotland getting the last 10-15 mins .

er yir macaroon Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 A club would never try that with an England player (the player’s agent would go mental), so it shouldn’t happen for us. McBurine should make a stand or fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty poor IMO. McBurnie could have said to the manager that he wanted to be involved with Scotland. As an official tournament, Wilder would have to accept it. He has always said positive things about Scotland ( including wearing a Scotland kit at school in Leeds) but unfortunately his arse is out the window this time.

Played 45 minutes too, seemingly, so he obviously wasn't just there as an emergency. Very disappointing, and after Steve Clarke lavished praise on him in his press conference last week too.

Unless Clarke is as pissed of with him tonight as the fans are? Would be interesting to hear what Clarke thinks of him playing 45 minutes tonight. Ok so it was a glorified training match but McBurnie is obviously not injured if he managed 45 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOUBLE A Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Bit bizarre but seen this Speaking after the full-time whistle, Wilder explained: "I spoke to Steve [Clarke] beforehand and he agreed with us that given where Oli is at, he was better off being with us and doing this. "He was happy with everything and we kept him fully informed of everything." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest problems I have with international Football is you won't hear what Clarke or McBurnie think. From what I can see this was a case of "injury management" by Sheffield UTD and or McBurnie. I doubt very much he would play an EPL game this weekend if there was one. Basically we need a manager who can sort this out either through motivation or discipline . I can see McBurnie and/ or Fraser getting thrown under the bus after this.
