Bournemouth scored 40 goals and got relegated. Sheffield had a good defence and were a bit of a surprise package. If he can’t find the back of the net soon they will go down with a whimper. He was their record signing. I’m sorry but 6 goals for a striker costing that much IMHO is woeful. One of his predecessors was a certain Jimmy Bone who managed 9 goals in 31 games for the Blades before Celtic signed him. Like you I hope McBurnie does sort himself out - on and off the park. We need all the strikers scoring goals for clubs and country in the lead up to the EUROs. Joint top scorer last season. Comparing Bone is a pointless comparison, so I won't even try to dismiss that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been an unused sub in almost all of their games. And let’s not overplay his scoring exploits at U21 level. Yes he recently became our highest scoring player at that level with 10 goals, but 6 of them were hat tricks against San Marino and Andorra. He’s definitely got some potential but can’t possibly be considered for the first team until he’s playing regularly at club level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, I hear you but still think he is worth a punt of a cameo, we still need options upfront, remembering we have Ryan Fraser to come back..... Or set up a friendly with Accies, and if McBurnie doesn't get at least 5 bag him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the good work being done by Stevie Clarke. I loved the passion, commitment and actual skill showed by the team on Wednesday. i even let out a squeak of exultation when Davie Marshall saved that penalty. the downside to this success means the SFA cheats and charlatans stay in their cushy numbers and the Scottish game plods on In its current corrupt way - that includes not calling out the big lies at Ibrox. i really don’t care any more.

Jambo bastard. I’m so glad he never won a league medal in 1986. I hope Albert Kidd still haunts him every day. Also that! I believe I've typed my ire about him setting up Scotland with no strikers against Brasil - in a f**kin FRIENDLY at Arsenal's new stadium! £40+ a ticket for a friendly, 'fun' match and our team refused to get out of starting blocks! Boring negative loser-mentality shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup that was the end of it for me. 12 glorious years during which I missed one competitive away game came to a grinding halt. Further disproving GoW’s contention that everyone goes for the bevvy.

faraway saint Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Ok Scotland, let's do this. Unfortunately we seem to struggle with Israel, last 4 games show we've won 1, lost 1 and drawn 2. As much as we're, overall, playing quite well, I can see this being another draw.

You've misunderstood, Israel are, IMO, not a decent team, we struggle against them. They have only won THREE games from in the last 2 years, having played 17 games, drawing 5 and losing the rest. (That's 9 in case you need a calculator) So, all in all I can't see us losing tonight, if I had to put money on it, 1-1 or 1-2 as we don't score many goals.

faraway saint Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Back to the 1st team for tonight, and I like the look of it, barring one or two players. O'Donnel is still a bomb scare, he was under no pressure last Thursday so wasn't highlighted, and Jack has been invisible IMO, McLean showed enough on Sunday to be ahead of him.

faraway saint Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 McTominay has certainly flourished under Clarke. Looked well out of place in the early games in that defensive position but he's improved game after game. 13 minutes ago, Scott-Leeds said: Even Sky played it over our pre match highlights C’mon Scotland 🏴 Israel 1-4 Scotland You do make me laugh.

Aye, that boys no mug, turned him inside out and slotted it away well. We've been ok since the 25th minute IMO, Christie should have hammered his chance and a great header from McGinn. We've a goal in us, I've always doubted we've got two TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Looking like a carbon copy of Sunday. We're playing very well but wasteful in front of goal and they score a cracker. On the positive side, this is another performance which is night and day from the crap we've been subjected to for the last few years.

Charlotte Saint Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Jack and McGregor add next to nothing in midfield. I like McTominay but not sure he’s a central defender. Jack and McGregor off, Cooper and Griffiths on, stick McTominay with McGinn in the center of midfield Christie behind the front 2. Need 2 goals may as well go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
