TijuanaTim Posted 6 September, 2008 Share Posted 6 September, 2008 Hate to think what he would do with that much of a player pool?? Burley has Scotland playing reflecting his (alleged) drunken mediocrity losing in Massivedonia FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redondo Saint Posted 6 September, 2008 Share Posted 6 September, 2008 Prior to Burley, I would want the Jocks to do well. It's a different story for me now. Looks like a hot one today Tim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 6 September, 2008 Share Posted 6 September, 2008 Should we feel sorry for what was an up-and-coming Scotland as Burley turns them into a team of unrelenting under-achieving mediocrity ???? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Their loss is our gain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pele Posted 6 September, 2008 Share Posted 6 September, 2008 Cheers for that Alpine....being Scottish and a Sotonian as well (long story) Burley is just what we didn't need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 6 September, 2008 Share Posted 6 September, 2008 Cheers for that Alpine....being Scottish and a Sotonian as well (long story) Burley is just what we didn't need! If it helps I think Pele had some scottish in him once. It was a centre half but for the life of me I can't remember if it was Yeats or Bremner.(wing half) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 6 September, 2008 Share Posted 6 September, 2008 Wow, I've just read some posts on 606. Seems he's managed to perform the demotivating and passion removal on Scotland in 3 matches compared to the 18months he needed with us..........

The passion has been slowly draining from the Scots since that battle was filmed and they had to get that Australian to play the lead role as they could ne find a Scotsman with enough spirit and fight. The Scottish management is as bad as the England side and you know as sure as eggs are eggs we will go and mess it up and let the scots fans back at us.

Couldnt give a shiny one about the achievements of that mutual masturbation club of Capello, Terry, Lampard and Beckham, despite being English, anyway..........

Seems he's managed to perform the demotivating and passion removal on Scotland in 3 matches compared to the 18months he needed with us.......... Its great to agree with Alpine! Still remember what for me was the most nerve-wracking moment of Burley's career with Saints, hearing that the SFA wanted him and the dreadful suspense until the move was agreed. Contrast JP with Burley, comparing behaviour in the technical area. JP in a suit, might walk into the area occasionally and show some frustration at a bad play, or to applaud a good play, but gives the impression he is watching for the impact of his week's coaching work, not trying to compensate for it. Burley, in a track suit, leaping around the technical area, shouting and gesturing instructions as if the players were supposed to be watching him all through the game like an orchestra conductor - made you wonder if he only did his coaching during matches.

Allegedly all that jumping around in the technical area was nothing to do with coaching, more with withdrawal symptoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 8 September, 2008 Share Posted 8 September, 2008 I see in the Scots press today on the BBC Sport Gossip Column that McCulloch has already said he won't play for Burley again - don't know what's gone on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 8 September, 2008 Share Posted 8 September, 2008 I have also received a message from Billy Bremner who also staes he will not be playing for Mr Burley. Something about no spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
