Taylor1996 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) 15 minutes ago, ParisInAKilt said: Maybe not but our goals are more likely to come from midfield or a set piece and McBurnie has shown bugger all in his 16 caps in terms of holding the ball up and bringing others into play. The drop in quality in Serbia especially between him and a tired Dykes was staggering, granted this was only 1 game but Iâm struggling to think of McBurnie having a good game. Yep. I'm not McBurnie's biggest fan, but he has been unlucky (hitting the bar in two matches in a row). I just find it strange that so many people here are lauding Adams and hating on McBurnie when they pretty much have had identical careers. I mean, both scored 22 Championship goals in the same season. It doesn't add up. It's a knee jerk reaction. I'm just glad we have Lyndon Dykes. Edited April 30, 2021 by Taylor1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing for Scotland and that's that. I couldn't be more nonplussed. If you want to judge him by yourself, Southampton are playing Leicester tonight. Come back to me after the match and give me your honest assessment. Whit????? What in the name of fuck does metaphorical mean? I'm just a wee hard man fae Govan, so save yir prawn sandwich patter for some other cnut.. All I pointed out, was you lied. Everyone who read your posts, knows fine fuckin well you had it in for Che Adams because he turned Scotland down. You then went on to tell us you did not want him in a Scotland top because of his playing ability, bollocks !!!! You got found out. I dinnae give a flyin fuck what you think of Adams now, just admit you changed yir tune when you were called up on it.

Big Ramy 1314 Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 One thing that has not been mentioned, is england being over confident. The old, "Its only Scotland" I have heard this umpteen times in my 50 odd years. I hope it's the case again. Reason is, this Scotland side are better than folk give them credit for. I know for a fact we will go in confident, not over confident, that's were Clarke will use his experience. He will have the boys in the right positive mindset. Clarke is a very unemotional figure on the touchline, I like that. I honestly believe he has an advantage over Southgate in this department.. I hope I am correct. Intae Them !!!!!
