BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm not happy about it because he's been treated like crap, but on the other hand I'm delighted because it simply shows that stature of the man (Weir that is) Dignity, professionalism and gentlemanly conduct personified Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 If Weir wasn't such a proffesional he would simply thank Burley for the call-up but decline in favour of putting all his efforts towards Rangers title challenge. I was pleased when he was left out of the last Scotland squad as it meant his full concentration would be on Rangers and he wouldn't be put at risk of injury or fatigue while playing for Scotland. Fair play to the big man though, he is a great sportsman and will give his all for both club and country. I just really hope that he can keep it up for the duration of the season.

thegersandme 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Understand the sentiments thah Big Davie should tell Burley to get lost. But... Davie would always represent his country -- always. And treat it like the honour it is. A great Captain of our Club -- and he better be made Captain of Scotland as well. Well done Davie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreimack 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I think Burley's taking the piss out of Weir a bit here. He knows that "The Miracle ©" is too professional to say no, even after the way he's been treated by Scotland twice now. Would you care to qualify that statement for me? I will concede the point that he has been treated shabbily by Burley, however Weir walked out on Scotland after having a nightmare tournament in 2002, and taking the huff when Bertie criticized him. Not exactly roughly treated twice. And for what it's worth, Davie Weir will proudly walk out for Scotland in the upcoming double header , as he is too big a player ,and a man to say no.

The first time he was treated badly was because under Bertie all the blame was placed at his door, and that was done publicly, not in private, when the way Scotland was performing was down to the shitty management and a lot more players in the team than just Weir.

johnny123 5 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'd have prefered if Wier had told the alky to stuff his call up. Fecked up by playing the chuckle brothers against Norway and not even having Davie in the squad. Any injury to him will leave us woefully short at the back.

laudrupforever 17 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Weir has been treated abysmally by Scotland on two occasions now and I think he should tell Burley where to go. Dropped for the shiter half of the Brothers Grimm for the Norway game, never mind the Vogts pish. And as for Kevin Kyle, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Either get on your fucking knees and get Boyd back or GTF. I look forward to you covering Kilmarnock matches I blame college. My old lecturer was a die-hard Killie fan and rabid Rangers-hater, so I gave him as good as I got. He did call the fact that Kyle would get another call up though. He also bet me that within 25 years, Killie will have been SPL champs at least once.

No he wasn't. Bertie publicly stated he was disappointed at the squad hemorrhaging goals, and said with the experience we had in defense at the time, he thought we should have been a lot stronger. The print media at the time jumped upon that, threw in their own brand or spin, and hey presto... The red tops sold more papers. Weir chose to jack it in, only to come back when Smith offered him a return after Bertie was gone. Boyd has done the same, spin it anyway you choose to, both walked out on their country, both were missed, Weir came back and hopefully Boyd will return, if asked after Burley goes.

Muff 245 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 This just goes to show how much of a fucking idiot George Burley is, and tbh, I'm pretty pissed off about this. The last thing we need is David Weir playing extra games, especially for Scotland with the lack of back-up we have. I wish David Weir had told Burley to show a call-up, up his arse, but he's far to professional for that, and credit to him. George Burley, and Scotland are a laughing stock!

Davy 68 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I hope big Davie tells him to shove it where the sun don't shine. He won't though, he's far too much of a gentleman and a professional to do so. Take note, Mr Burley! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamteuchter 1 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Why should Davie Weir not play for Scotland again? Because dickwad didnt pick him a few times... Davie Weir is a patriotic guy who wants to play for his country. Its his choice. He is a true professional and i have every respect for him. If he wants to play for Scotland then thats good enough for me. He plays for Scotland...not the SFA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was publically singled out by Berti Vogts for criticism when he was far from the worst player on the park. That's being treated shabbily and that's happened twice. Speaks volumes for Weir that he will agree to turn out for them again without comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Journalist: 'Do you regret not calling up Davie Weir?' Burley: 'Well Davie played in the earlier games, against Norway...' Journalist: 'Aye, and we had a shut out in that match.' Burley: 'The defenders that came in instead done very well.' What an absolute banger Burley is.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Weir deserves it, 10x the player of any of the other CB's from here IMO. Why does he only pick 5 midfielders but picks Kevin Kyle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
