He can be pleased with his performances in both games. Represented the LOI well

Do you reckon? I wouldn't be too sure about that tbh, he's looked comfortable in his two caps and if you scan through the list of players who have played 10/15+ times for us in the last decade or so, Burke would certainly do fine as a squad filler in the short term.

Agreed, even his goal aside he worked his bollox off and had great link up play between the midfield and forwards. Looked really comfortable on the ball, was always looking for it and wasnt afraid to try things. In his 80mins across the 2 games this week, hes offered more than any other forward in recent months/years.

He looked decent, but these friendlies were played at 50% and he wouldn't have the amount of time he had on the ball at times tonight in the loi. No mind a higher level. Hopefully he gets a move and can prove himself across the water in league 1

It was noticeable that we lost our way and couldnt string any passes together for about 15 minutes after he went off. Between this game and the France game, he definitely looks like he could play at a higher level. Who was the last current LoI player to score for us?

He scored on his home debut. He did the job he was supposed to do. What more does he need to prove?
The amount of players in the current squad, with a LOI background proves that the league is a good quality league with decent players. It should not be seen as completely off limits to the Ireland international team.

He played well. He's certainly comfortable on the ball, just a bit unfortunate he lacks pace.

Strange comments from O'Neill who felt the game passed Burke by, which he said he expected.

He looked comfortable, fair play to him. He’s well able to rebuild his career back in England but great to see he doesn’t have to

There may come a time the movement between IRL and UK (wherever) is invisible and just part of the path of a football career. 'Returning' to IRL wont be seen as a pause or distruption to a footballer's career but just part of a normal career.

O Neill comments were his subtle way of saying he won't be picked for the Wales/Denmark games. f**king ridiculous comments.
Burke scored and the 75 or so minutes over the two appearances contributed more than some have in half a dozen appearances. He doesn't need blinding pace, his football intelligence and natural ability more than compensates. Should remain part of the squad but I've no faith in O Neill deeming it so. Delighted for the lad the past week.

Used the ball last night but his lack of pace will hold him back. |

If MON is dropping him on the premise that the game passed him by, then every member of the squad who has played should have been dropped over the past year!

They said the same about Teddy Sheringham. I disagree regarding Burke. Wes wasn't exactly Usain Bolt either.,
