So whoever isn't injured and doesn't play Saturday are the ones on Burke's @#$% list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxon Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 The article lacks depth.....if you are going to write something like this, you should name names. (I'm referring to the Sun writer, not the poster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Blah, blah, blah. Screw Burke. And I agree if someone is going to write an article like that then name names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 A pretty 'high school' article if you ask me. "I know who's on the teacher's *hit list …but I'm not telling." Really? There's some players who aren't acting professional and you're not telling? Then why the hell do you bring it up? So, now if someone's not playing, and it involves a different matter, how are we supposed to know the difference? Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engelwood Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Shot in the dark, could it be Chad Simpson and Chris Matthews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 burke wants to sit players who don't put in the effort that's fine, but there's no need to drive the bus over them... but then again the only thing burke seems able to do as a coach is toss players under the bus. He has to go cause you can't have a coach that willing to absolutely bury players. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Will Burke also be sitting this one out then? Blue-urns and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Seriously though I could just copy and paste every comment I always make about Sun articles...just ignore them, they're all crap [EDIT: In fairness, Penton is probably the most knowledgeable Bomber guy now, but I still refuse to read the Sun.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Blue&Gold Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I found it strange that he (Burke) wasn't naming names, since he hasn't had any problem in the past singling out and naming player(s) for blame (deserved or not).

Zontar Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Frankly, an astonishing bit of pique by a coach on his way out. Questioning a players heart by a coach is almost taboo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 meh, guys probably just tired of dealing with a bunch of asshat football "pros" who simply cannot conduct themselves as such. id have preferred names but that might have gone too far and crossed a line.. but at the end of the day, id rather an honest coach rather then a spin doctor..

So, now if someone's not playing, and it involves a different matter, how are we supposed to know the difference? FYI almost exact same article was in the Free Press Same speech, different writers. Same source…Burke. So, does he want to tell us or just get people to guess like he has made fans guess most of the year? So again I would ask, what's the point of bringing this up now? Anybody who is not playing Sat. now falls under the cloak of Burke's comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Shot in the dark, could it be Chad Simpson and Chris Matthews? Simpson and Matthews are injured so no. IIRC Simpson isn't even in Winnipeg - don't know about Matthews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Burke should just shut up. The way he's coached this year he's the last guy to call anybody out. According to Burke, if the players don't have talent then they don't have heart. Never his fault. He's done the best he could with what he's been given, right??? This guy has to go. The minute the game is over this weekend get Burke out of here. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren't just rookie mistakes, this is a serious flaw in the attitude of a head coach.Burke has been in charge for over a year and a half! how long does the "he's just knew" excuse fly? No at this point we know exactly what kind of head coach Burke is and he's not a very good one. Can't get his players motivated, has no idea how to manage a game or a roster. Fire him immediately after the game ends and then this team can focus on moving forward. iso_55 and Blue-urns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
