lee_saint Posted 12 October, 2008 Share Posted 12 October, 2008 I can see Burley's point though with Boyd. Kris has been on the bench for Rangers making a few games here and there where as Iwelumo has scored a fair few and played plenty of games for Wolves. The problem is Scotland fans now think they should be top of the group after the success of the last campaign. Burley will be sacked, he's already had a vote of confidence from the SFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1Minus10 Posted 12 October, 2008 Share Posted 12 October, 2008 I'm with Burley on this one I'm afraid. Didn't help that Iwelumo came up with miss of the century.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 12 October, 2008 Share Posted 12 October, 2008 Seems to me that this is more evidence of the Napoleon complex we saw emerge in Burley with Rasiak. So long as he is visible as boss, sod the actual results and perofrmances being achieved.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robsk II Posted 12 October, 2008 Share Posted 12 October, 2008 So you don't think players should be playing to get picked? Picking Iwulemo after 8 goals from 6 games, I mean - no brainer, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pele Posted 12 October, 2008 Share Posted 12 October, 2008 (edited) Burley couldn't pick the right team if it bit him on the bum. The man's an idiot ruined my club team and setting about runing my international team.Thanks George! Edited 16 October, 2008 by pele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 12 October, 2008 Share Posted 12 October, 2008 I wonder if Capello has had the same message from Michael Owen? This Boyd does he score shedloads of goals in Scotland, Iwelumo is a good forward , not top international class but should have justified GB faith by putting in the goal that could have been the winner. I dont understand the players decision and he is not the type of person you need in a squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 12 October, 2008 Share Posted 12 October, 2008 I don't know what the SFA were smoking when they appointed GB, but it must've been seriously strong stuff. I can see him being sacked as manager by January, and good riddance. It's a travesty that we nearly qualified for Euro 2008 ahead of one of the World Cup finalists, yet now we cannot even beat Norway. How times have changed. If the SFA want Scotland to be taken seriously again, then they should sack the clown Burley and appoint a real manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doublesaint Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 Dear Kris, In response to your small minded and petulant comments about who you would be willing to have the honour to represent your country for depending on who the manger is we would like to point out the following: The honour of playing for your country, in fact even being selected for the squad is one that many players would willingly be happy with and would hope to prove in training that they were worthy of a place in the team. You had not been playing first team football for Rangers, highly the ideal preparation for an international game. You are a grade one knob end and we would like to take this opportunity to point out that the decision is now taken out of your hands and you will never in any circumstances be picked for the national team, regardless of who the manger is. Love from the SFA XXXXXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyNorthernSaints Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 Sounds like he was going to be dropped for the next squad anyway. At least now it gives him more time to concentrate on getting into the Rangers first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 Sounds like he was going to be dropped for the next squad anyway. At least now it gives him more time to concentrate on getting into the Rangers first team. He's played plenty of games, the problem with Rangers is they have a champions league squad and no european games, lots of players are being rotated.

bridge too far Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 And WB will probably be replacing A Cole on Wednesday. He's made, what, two appearances for Chelsea this season? However, since he is without doubt a better LB than A Cole, it's a wise move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cole was voted Chelsea player of season 2007/08. Made 45 appearances in league and cup competitions scoring 10 goals. He had serious injuries in previous 2 seasons which limited his appearances. 2005/06 played 34 games in all competitions scoring 9 goals. Joe Cole has played 6 league games and one champions league game so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cole has played 6 league games and one champions league game so far this season. Was just going to say, he's been one of their key players over the last 3 years or so and one of England's too. Mourinho was a bit suspicious of him but even Jose had him as an automatic pick before Putin's buddy gave him him the sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
