I assume that the game will no longer go ahead, but, yeah, I’d choose McBurnie as our striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have a poll up of who we want up front for this game. I can guarantee it won't mcburnie. I'm not disputing that McBurnie hasn't been great in his (very limited) time on the park... ... What I'm disputing is the absolute nonsense of writing him off and at the same time inviting absolute nobodies like Lyndon Dykes into the fold.

What makes you think he's the better defender? Keeping absolutely nobody at bay whilst at celtic or his very limited time on the pitch at Arsenal?

Yeh well tbf I haven't totally written off mcburnie and I believe he deserves some more chances to impress in the future but I defo want Griffiths starting this upcoming game/s.

0Neils40yarder Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 There are plenty on here who have written him off as being 'shite', despite being our only striker playing at the highest level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping absolutely nobody at bay whilst at celtic or his very limited time on the pitch at Arsenal? are you on the wind up? 😂 so you’ve watched all 102 apps for Celtic including his performances that got him in countless team of the group stages in the champions & europa league, Aswell as motm performances, and decided he can’t defend and apparently “kept absolutely nobody at bay”.... There’s a reason he’s currently Scotland’s most expensive transfer of all time and probably for a very long time for a fullback.. there’s also a reason he broke countless records at club level. and Strachan having faith in him at 19 years old to play him out of position and put in a fine shift at right back. Robertson is the better modern attacking fullback and going forward, but Tierney is far better than Robertson defensively. It isn’t under the borderline of others supporting his boyhood club, I could easily flip the same argument on yourself with the consistent amount of excuses for McBurnie been absolutely woeful and trying to overplay current celtic Scotland internationals being shite. Griffiths against Belgium for example and now Tierney apparently can’t defend despite it being his best attribute...but it proves zero help to any debate bar a dig to the person in the conversation. if your going to call out folk talking shite, make sure you’re not also chatting it.

ProudScot Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Robertson is one of the best left backs in Europe. What planet are these Celtic fans (presumably they all must be) on!? Its yet to be proven that Tierney can even play at EPL level. A level Robertson excels at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Tiernwy a better defender than robertson, wow. Do people genuinely believe this? As for tierney being the most exepnaive scottish player........so was burke at one point. Tierney has amazing potential, that cant be doubted but hes nowhere near robertson at this point in time. His commitment to scotland ia also questionable. Edited March 14, 2020 by vanderark14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's based on absolutely fuck all... That's what gets me, people just hit out with hyperbole that has no basis. I hope Tierney becomes the best left back in the world (because I love seeing Scots do well)... But to state as fact that he is currently a better defender than Andy Robertson when he is clearly toiling at Arsenal is fucking mental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s more to do with McBurnie being a striker, and we haven’t had a decent striker at a young age like that for a lot of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
