damien1 29 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 This man is culpable for destroying maybe the club and International careers of two football players. Why? He has completely mismanaged this whole situation as Scotland manager. 1. Why in the first place allow a drinking session inbetween two important World Cup qualifiers? 2. Why on earth allow Ferguson and MacGregor onto the bench for the Finland game? These two questions must be asked of him. Although we can't condone the idiotic behaviour of Fergie and Greigsy they shouldn't have had the opportunity. If Burley had managerial balls they shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near Hampden. Suspended for a match or two, apologise for the drinking session and then we move on. But no, the situation was allowed to escalate to a point where there are two very sorry boys been brought down to earth with a huge thump. Long term this may be good for Greigsy, Fergie's days are over though, he wont be trusted by Rangers or by it's fans anymore, he will unlikely move abroad, he's at a crossing in his life where his reputation is in tatters and he doesn't have the time left to rebuild it. So Burley's lack of managerial skills has now brought his tally of Rangers players retired from the squad to four, who's next? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brissyger 8 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I've been quite critical of the players actions but I agree that Burley has to be held responsible as well. Hopefully if they go through with this enquiry they'll sort things out and we'll have a new manager. He clearly doesn't have the respect of the squad at all. Btw you meant Iceland right?

Briton 394 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Burley should never have allowed the 'bonding session' to take place but Ferguson and McGreggor alone are responsible for their actions at Hampden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson 2 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 The players were on the bench at the other players request. I dont think he had any intention of playing them. They may have been allowed to drink, but no-one was holding a gun at their head forcing them to stay up until the morning in the bar. If Ferguson wasnt responsible enough to know that was wrong, well he got all he deserved. Shite a manager as Burley is, he is only partially responsible for the drinking incidents.

ruaridhmac 29 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 None of this would of happened if Burley wasnt manager of Scotland, including the Boyd v Burley saga aswell. Not that im condoning Ferguson or Shagger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Maybe the story about why George really got sacked from hearts should come out that would be good tabloid fodder....... I wonder if george has learned to keep his dick in his pocket yet...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,764 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hes a first class wanker. How he could put two players on the bench and tell them not to warm up i.e wasting two subs, is unreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that im condoning Ferguson or Shagger. Is the Boyd V Wattie saga Burleys fault as well? Its down to a systematic lack of discipline in out team.

Right_To_Censor 1,951 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 the players had a drinking sesseion, little was done about it, papers got wind of this (i wonder who grassed) everything was fine and dandy untill the morning of the game, press breaks it so then hutton and barry would be no where near the team or the stadium, right thing to do untill mr gordon smith stuck his ore in and told burley both players must be at hampden, so burley has no choice but to tell te players to be on wednesday. burley was prepared to put this to one side but gordon said no and now look at the mess smith caused thats what i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
