I'm not condoning McBurnie but if you're going to act like a clown to someone's face, then you can't exactly play the victim when he gives you some retribution. As a footballer McBurnie should know better than to retaliate and react, but I can only imagine how it must feel to have some random screaming, shouting and taking the piss out of you to your face. Especially when you are with your partner and she is having to hear all these awful things aswell. I thought there must be more to this. I've only seen the first video but it's clear from the very start that something - or someone - has angered him. It's easy to say he shouldn't react like that but I bet a lot of people on here would react a similar way if they found themselves in a similar situation. One thing's for certain, Oli McBurnie is quite an unfortunate young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton_Peck Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The man had the balls to step up and slot away a penalty that took us to the euros. Full respect him for that especially given the grief he gets. The guy just had enough and snapped. Hope he can get his career back on track.

Shaundy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I can empathise with McBurnie , not having more Scotland goals than convictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harassed and followed around and verbally assaulted by three men. The one behind the camera was 21. I'm telling you, though, the people here giving him verbals are a lot worse that that back of cowards. And it's funny, people call me obsessed when I give Armstrong and Adams criticism, but it's alright for aforementioned people to go on daily pelters to McBurnie. Maybe it's only acceptable when it's packs doing it. Also, I may criticize Armstrong and Adams, but there's no way I would call them half the stuff that some people are calling McBurnie. People don't have to like McBurnie, but at the end of the day he's a Scotland player. Same with Armstrong and Adams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep.A lot of people on here who are very selective in who they criticise.For some reason Mc Burnie has became the guy that everyone hates.Here is a guy who has turned up at three age levels for us,and always given his best.Now,if you think his best isn't good,that's fine,but where's the need for all the personal bile.The guy wanted to play for Scotland and was proud to do so at the first time of asking.Which is more than can be said of some in the squad.As for the video of him,all I can say is he didn't hit those scum hard enough.

Exactly. The lad that just replied to you is an example. They will say whatever they want as they have internet courage. They can say whatever nonsense they like, as they have the protection of anonymity. Would they say it to McBurnie's face? No chance. Total shmo. But that lad wants a Scotland player (Palmer) to get injured, and keeps insisting that McBurnie will miss the Euros (in hope, more than anything else), so what can you expect. I may not like Armstrong and Adams, but still they're human beings and deserve some level of respect, especially since they represent us. Same goes with Oliver McBurnie.

ParisInAKilt Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 It’s not disrespectful to point out McBurnie has mostly been rotten for us, 16 caps, not a handful of minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
