scotlad Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 3 hours ago, Caledonian Craig said: End of the day all that matters is that he has played 16 times for us and been horse shit all the way. We are looking for players for the future or ones that can make a difference at international level and that ain't McBurnie. It is possible for players to improve though. McBurnie is in fine form at the moment, possibly the most in-form Scottish striker playing at a good level. I think he's earned another chance, although, the commentator today said something about him needing an operation for a hernia, so it might be a lot of people on here will get their wish and he'll be left out of the next squad.

He has been in form at a higher level when selected for us and - you guessed it - he was dung. Not only the fact he has had umpteen chances (more than other Scottish players on the fringes) but he's shown himself up multiple times to not be mentally grounded at all and not up to international standard. I get why some want him to be given another chance but for me that boat sailed a long time ago. Sure we should look at other options in the Turkey match but lets look to players not been given much of a chance at all like Ryan Gauld. If he gets called up he'll get my backing but it will not be in expectation of anything being delivered by him.

If he gets called up he'll get my backing but it will not be in expectation of anything being delivered by him. He has played at a higher level but he didn't play as well as he is currently. He was excellent today, doing everything you'd want a centre-forward to do. He hasn't played for Scotland for nearly two years now; turning our noses up at him based on his performances from years ago is silly. Outwith Adams and Dykes, who are stick-ons to be included anyway, if fit, what other options are there? Ross Stewart is injured (and by the way, hasn't exactly shone in a Scotland jersey either so far); Lawrence Shankland perhaps, he's had a good season, although about half his goals have been penalties. Tommy Conway is another possibility but that's about it. I'd have no issues with Ryan Gauld being called up but he's an attacking midfielder rather than a striker.

JECK Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I haven’t seen him for sheff utd recently but McBurnie simply didn’t have the athleticism/leg power/pace for international level from what I saw of him. If you look at dykes and Adam’s they’re beasts compared to him. McBurnie won’t get the same amount of chances at international level therefore offers very little, 16 and nowt is it.

He is in great form. Pick him. He might just do it this time. McBurnie is more commited to Scotland than plenty of others. Played through all the age groups, went on that f.. king South American trip when plenty were pulling out. Always got to be a scapegoat and he seems to be it. Would love to see him get picked and knock a goal or two in. More commited to Scotland than plenty of others fawned over on this forum. Adams who played for england and this arsehole anderson who is hedging his bets. I want guys who WANT to play for us. Not guys who turn to us as a second choice.

In what respect though? He can score one touch finishes in the diddy championship every week all he wants. Unless he can can A outrun top international class defenders or B out jump them, he offers very little. He was pitiful in both aspects last he played for us.

saintydave Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 This "International class" argument is nonsense. Define international class? Surely it depends on the other options the country has? If he's the best, or one of the best options, he's international class. Would he get in the German or Spanish squads? No San Marino or Liechtenstein? Yes International class is very subjective, half the defences he would play against for Scotland won't be as good as some of the defences he faces week in, week out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Not a fan of mcburnie but we cant really turn our noses up at a guy who scores in the english championship. Problem is he was that poor in the matches that he played in for Scotland that i would much rather give someone like shankland and conway a try instead. If theres loads of strikers injured then maybe call him up but otherwise its a no from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
