HoBNob Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I thought McBurnie looked very decent against man city tbf, far better than he's played for Scotland. Very encouraging that Griffiths is back in though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Griffiths is our best striker and should be starting against Israel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Brilliant that Griffiths is back. Far and away our most natural striker. FWIW, McBurnie looks decent for Sheff Utd because he plays in a 2 up front. He is hard working and likes to drop back and flick balls on and he is good at it. He is not an only striker as he cant hold the ball up and has no decent pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenockraver Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) a free scoring griffiths has to be one of the first names on the team sheet. mcburnie has truly done NOTHING for us and would be a nightmare to have to pick him instead of griffiths.

wastecoatwilly Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Many goals has Griffiths got in the top flight in Scotland maybe this is why Boyd doesn't want him to come back into form? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly a secret why he isn't getting the chances even when others are struggling. On 20/01/2020 at 12:37, Merkland Red said: Nothing to do with twitter. The guy is a mess. Celtic don't want to play him and nobody who wants to gamble can afford him. These posts aged worse than Leighs hairline. On 22/01/2020 at 08:09, Jeremiah Cole said: Is this a joke? Griffiths is a League One reject. He’s not been a regular starter for years now. He’s finished Cant even say that this ridiculous post aged badly as its completely wrong. He was Wolves top goal scorer in League one when he handed in a transfer request to force his move away.

We'll see how he does when the new guy is up to speed. More than happy to be proven wrong if he can reproduce this form for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy2015 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I would play an in form Leigh Griffiths against Israel think he is our best option. Don’t get the anti mcburnie feeling however griffiths has scored 2 goals from open play in 19 caps one of which was against Malta the other Slovenia away. he had 0 goals in 14 games until England game and many more mins on the pitch without scoring than mcburnie but can’t remember any criticism for his lack of goals. Griffiths has had good games but also soon really poor games for example in the 3-0 defeat by england where an easy ball to snodgrass would have put him through or Slovenia at home missed loads of chances subbed after 50 mins.Overall all though I would start him and have mcburnie Naismith and shankland on the bench if needed later in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Watching him waving that tri colour about at Ibrox, I thought what a twat and struggled to see him in a Scotland jersey again but that was maybe in the middle of his meltdown so will give him the benefit of doubt. He is without doubt the best Scottish number 9 and he should start the Israel game if he is still playing and scoring come March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a half decent striker pool. Just hope they all remain fit and we don't end up having to call up a Marc McNulty type for such a crucial dbl-header 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a long list of misdemeanours. It would be a remarkable turnaround if he was to regularly feature in the Celtic starting 11 and get back into the Scotland scene. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot pick players based on a few goals three years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Griffiths should have been red carded this afternoon for deliberate stamping. The ref, as usual, bottled it. He wouldn't get away with that in a Scotland shirt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get away with up here as he plays for one of the two favoured teams. He has a long history of misdemeanours including racism and although he’s a good striker he brings a lot of baggage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Good to see him getting back to his best, but I'd still have McBurnie and Cosgrove ahead of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
