ErsatzThistle Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Trying to think of something positive to say about Oli McBurnie .... Em ..... well he was unlucky to hit the bar in two consecutive games ...... Um ..... and he scored his penalty against the Serbs when we all thought he'd screw it up ...... I'm now out of ideas.

One of the worst players I think we’ve ever had. Also an arsehole. Dont think he will ever get a call up again. Thankfully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word in Sheffield is he has finally grown up and putting in a lot of effort in training. Probably realised he will be on the dole soon if he doesn't buck up his ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had 1 season where he got into double figures. If it weren't for that 1 good season in 19/20 we'd never have uttered his name. I'd be shocked if he becomes a regular squad member again.

I'd agree with this especially as we have plenty of other strikers clearly ahead of him in the pecking order such as Dykes, Adams, Stewart, Christie, Fraser and even Shankland and Burke.

Exactly. Stewart, I would say, is the one most similar to McBurnie and is already out-scoring him in the same league. Burke, although hasn't scored much in the last few years, has far better attributes that we could utilise than McBurnie has. Plus, he isn't an out and out striker anyway.

No one's suggesting he should be in the next squad but a tiny bit of good news for one of our players and people are still slagging him. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syecosse Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Under 18s prem.  It seems that the Scottish lads are really looking impressive at this level, apparently to good for the level.  Ben Doak was again brilliant as Liverpool won 4-2.  Rory Wilson got a double in Villas win.  Dire Mebude has again started the season off as the best player at this level.

Adams is the only one close to international class, in fact he is. Burke of the bench In the right circumstances could be too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our forward options are a very mediocre bunch. Mcburnie wouldn't need to score many more goals before he'd be back in with a shout of making the squad. Recent history suggests the chances of him going on a scoring spree are very low though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens & it leads to him being considered for selection again it'll be merited so good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theabsentee Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Was watching Soccer Saturday & Rambo McInally was covering the Blackpool - Bristol City game, Tommy Conway a 20 year old Bristol City academy graduate scored his 5th goal of season & Rambo said he'd heard he could be eligible for Scotland.   Guess we might find out come the next under 21 squad announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if we're overburdened with brilliant players, especially up front.

If he does fulfil his potential, to the point that he's once a gain challenging for a place in the squad, then I'd be delighted for him. (I have to say, I've always thought McBurnie looks the type of striker defenders hate to play against: with his ability to win aerial duels, and his deceptively good ball control/ball shielding for someone who looks so gangly and uncoordinated). By the way, does anyone know how Tierney got on today for Arsenal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syecosse Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Leon King has been involved in 3 of the last 3 Rangers match, apparently has done well when on. Tom Mcintyre has been a regular in the starting line out in Readings impressive start to the season. Dom Hyam looks like he is off to Blackburn, Coventry have accepted a bid, Coventry fans are not happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
