pandarilla Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Fleck: "Are you going away?"McBurnie: "I hope not."He then asks Fleck "so you're leaving me to go on my own?" and you can hear him say "it's shite" at the end. It could just be banal banter from banterman McBurnie and it is a poor quality clip out of context, but it reflects pretty poorly on him and it's understandable why folk are raging. Could be completely out of context but he sounds like a fanny. Who the f**k do you think you are spouting this shite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 As I've always said, I don't really care if they fucking hate playing for us and would rather be on holidays, playing for England or whatever, as long as when they take to the pitch they perform professionally and to the best of their abilities. From what I've seen, McBurnie hasn't exactly set the world alight for us, but he certainly seems like he cares. Still, if that is the stuff he's saying, it's incredibly stupid, and isn't going to endear him to your average tonto Tartan Army "Foot Soldier". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it fine players saying they hope they don't get selected and playing for your country is shite, fair enough I don't at all. I don't consider myself in any way a tartan army foot soldier either. How is someone going to perform to the best of their abilities if they don't even want to be there in the first place? He should be given a chance to explain/apologise. If he doesn't we should get rid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Scottish national team has only went backwards since we started the policy of player English born players over Scots. A national disgrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny131 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 There will be about 10/12 call offs after the weekend and I don't blame them.....the thought of playing 180mins with a game plan of keeping the score respectable and not getting a hammeting wouldn't have me clambering to play either. Let's face it our squad is utter shite and can see Belgium taking 5 or 6 off us maybe more if they hit top gear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Belgium didn't look like taking 5 or 6 of us in Belgium, so f**k knows why folk think it's going to happen at Hampden.There will be at most 2 call-offs I reckon, and if there are they will be genuine injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, let's not string him up for saying pretty much the same thing a lot of fans say about the national team. You're very forgiving. Attitude has to be spot on for me. Look at the top managers. Pep and klopp would have nothing to do with this sort of attitude. And attitudes like that are toxic to a squad. It's not even like he's undroppable. Who the f**k does he think he is? Aye there's a big price tag but I've just seen a bit of a flat track bully so far (although admittedly I've not seen much of him). Goalscorer for club side but in a very specific league. The English championship has had a lot of successful Scots that were pish for Scotland. If there's no clear explanation or mistake in context then I'd be telling him to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Aye that's not on at all, as a manager I don't think you can have that in your squad. I'd tell him not to bother coming and enjoy ten years of relegation battles cause that's all he's got to look forward to. Imo that should be the end of his intl career, thousands of people spend money they can't afford following Scotland all over the place, not for players with an attitude like that. To be the darling of the tartan army is the greatest thing in some players careers, ask James McFadden what he looks back on with the most fondness that's what he would say and that's while achieving nothing. You're not going to be 65 and looking back to.that time you scored against Burnley. I say get him chased tomorrow morning.

I don't believe that for one second. Not a personal dig at you by any means. But everyone enjoys a skive at work, not a chance your 100% on the ball all the time your there. Now say you really loved your job? More chance you would be, of course? For example, I'm an electrician. Which I enjoy aspects of. If say I was Jennifer Lawrences in house gigolo. I imagine I would be enjoying my job a hell of alot more. And in turn would be more committed and give a better performance at work. Hence, if the guy doesn't want to be selected. He's not going to try his best 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The fact is that this is a clip with no context applied. I have no idea of the relationship between these two. He could be hazing Fleck for all we know. Fleck could well know that McBurnie loves playing for Scotland and it's a bit of a laugh between them. People are seeing what they want from a badly shot, few seconds of video. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Sounds similar to people moaning when players dont sing the national anthem. Surely if he didnt want to play for scotland then he just wouldnt make himself available? Its not like he has to play.
