  1. Nothing to do with fashionability. Opinion on a footballer is all. Agreed he needs games, although he got some with Celtic and flattered to deceive for the most part.
  2. You would be incorrect and I don’t dislike him, I just think he’s, until now, unjustified hype. Do you think he’s a good footballer?
  3. Any footballer should be capable of scoring from there, not sure that really dispels the no technique criticism. The alternative view was that Strachan as manager judged his performance and presumably, what he’d seen in training and decided he wasn’t what was required. It felt to me that Strachan started him because there was so much clamour for Burke (due to him being fast and expensive) he had to play him. He did, he was awful and he got rightly hooked. Whatever you think of GS, he had that right as the manager. Faddy was a proven and established player so I don’t agree with the comparison. ive never rated Burke and have always been confident in my opinion on him, however I was very interested that Rodgers was glowing in his appraisal of him, that made me think he’s worth persevering with. You’ve just got to think he’s got to be working on improving his touch, even a slight improvement makes him a force to be reckoned with.
  4. In the course of time Burke has proved that he was mainly hype, hype accorded mainly due to his undoubted physical attributes . From the first time I seen him in the under 21’s tgere has been very little evidence of actual footballing ability. His touch is nothing short of embarrassing. I still remember the absolute outrage on here when Strachan left him on the bench and I think also dropped him for the second leg of a double header and being branded an idiot for doing so.
  5. Not my recollection of that game. I remember thinking this game is an Ireland goal away from quite a lot of trouble potentially. Was very tense I felt.
  6. Exactly. Tge first game he played there for us we were all convinced that was our right back for 10 years. The next few performances weren’t at that level but I don’t think we should take the option off the table.
  7. Apart from being negative they are both woefully inept and Crocker is a condescending prick and an embarrassment of a commentator. Continually dumbfounded that he remains sky’s Premier Scottish commentator
  8. That was nowhere near good enough and a poor first managerial performance to match. All for experimenting and these are the games for it however it should be around what will be the core of the team going forward. This was just a bunch of players thrown together hoping it would click or someone would shine, neither of which happened. As some posters have said it was very reminiscent of the Bertie era. Very disappointing.
  9. Like most are saying this just means KT is the captain elect. Think Mulgrew is under rated though, good player, composed, threat in the box. No complaints from me on him being selected or getting captaincy.

    Angus Gunn

    Absolutely shameful statement.
  11. Indeed. It’s hardly a cold hard fact that Robertson is better than Tierney, and if I had to put money on who in ten years time will have been the better player I’d be siding with KT. Regardless there’s no point in trying to create division around 2 of our best players, both of whom every Scotland fan wants to see in the team at the same time.
  12. We might as well appoint Martin O’Neill!
  13. Unfortunately this is an accurate assessment of his career thus far. For RBL to dump him after a season, in which he was given very few opportunities speaks volumes in my opinion, further compounded by the same at West Brom, not to mention strachan hooking him at half time and subsequent omissions from the squad , for which he was wrongly lambasted. We’ll see what transpires, and he is still young, but it’s hope more than expectation from where I’m sitting.
  14. Yes back on topic. Gallagher has clearly stated he has opted to play for England rather than Scotland, he can fuck off.
  15. He didn’t actually peak though did he. Or if he did we should give up on him now
