SlayerX Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 We aren't in a position to rule out anyone. If the lad has a great season next season, and he either gets promoted or earns a big move, then all the better for us. He's the same age as Armstrong and younger than Cairney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Fail to see what benefit Burke will gain from the dinosaurs that run our age grade teams....other than appreciating even more the quality of coaching at his club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that's probably true, he'll at least be playing people he should be a lot closer to in terms of ability (or far exceed in a lot of cases) while in a Scotland shirt. While he could have been put on against England and had an absolutely star-making performance, I don't think he's quite there yet. There's far more chance of him going out in the Toulon tournament and just enjoying himself without being relied upon in what is an absolutely crucial game for us. But he's going to be learning far more at his club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGS got him capped rapidly when England started sniffing around now he's stuck with us the ginger ninja has treated him horribly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 You have short memory forameus or your trolling for a bite. Have you forgotten his treatment slovakia away, disgusting ...that's it? While it could likely have been handled better, he showed his inexperience in the game he did feature in and clearly it was thought that in a tough away game he wouldn't get a sniff. Wouldn't have sent him away from the squad, but then I wouldn't go near the wild hyperbole you're giving either. Clearly he was really bothered by it all and is massively regretting his decision by refusing to get involved from now o...oh, wait, he was picked and played in subsequent squads? Wow, must be really cut up about it. Disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just love to argue with yourself on here#bellend You intimated that there was much more than that. While it probably wasn't the best choice of action, at it's core it was fair enough. Burke was probably a bit annoyed, and I imagine WGS would want him to be too. To call it "disgusting" is over-egging it by a fair bit. He got picked in subsequent squads and was only left out of this one to give him a chance in a less pressured environment. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. In the coming years,all being well, he is going to become crucial to us. He's not there yet though, and I doubt he's crying himself to sleep at night about choosing to play for scotland.Not quite the meltdown you were hoping for, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you driveling about now, I know it's difficult for you but all that was needed was " I wouldn't call it disgusting maybe a poor choice" but every post you go off on a meltdown as if trying too make yourself look some sort of super pundit with all the know how. Get a grip of yourself man ffs it's embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopio Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 one of the very few times I have actually agreed with Strachan is over this decision with Burke...other nations do the same ie England wanted to send Rashford to the 21s Euros, Spain do it as well so I see no harm in sending the lad to a tournament like this to express himself......as has been said less pressure on him there and he can maybe do well as opposed to being dragged down by the obligatory 3-0 defeat against England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky_ffc Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Is Toulon being shown on TV? I thought Eurosport usually showed these types of tournaments, but they've got blanket coverage of the French Open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
