I get slated for not rating boyd and get called anti Boyd yet the abuse Miller gets is way above what i say about Boyd. At least I stick to the football side of things. And Im not saying I rate Miller highly, i think he is going through a bad patch at the moment but he isnt overall useless.

Thats our opinion and thats what we are debating. We dont beleive in his abilites. You cant debate if you dont allow someone to have an opinion. If we all agreed then the forums would be filled with posts saying "i agree" Twisted in your view maybe, personally i think thats an extreme comment to think its twisted when we simply what better for our team. And I think you will find the Rangers fans are split on the mans game. Until we got a poll from a fair number of fans you cant claim fans or others in the game agree. WS happens to be more knowledgable than some fans yet he seems to agree Boyd is very limited. I dont see debate being impossible at all, those who think Boyd is limited have stated there reason - simple debate IMO. Your thinking its impossible simply because we dont agree with your opinion.

Any bets this weekend chaps?? I'll bet having a few on the OF game. Was so close at parkhead last time with having miller as last scorer until that Nakamura scored.
-
Ian, I was just glad to see Craig continue it well after a few other comments about people being unreasonable and timposters for having an opinion.
-
Yip, i was taking Jons words as that as he has said a lot of times he would be the first name on the team sheet
-
Yip, plus Albertz scored almost an identical goal the following week at Ibrox. Plus his thumping free kick in the OF New Year derby in 1997 - Andy Grays comments "Well that was Awesome, absolutely awesome". Agree with Wija aswell, Laudrups run at Hampden was brilliant. Was at that game.

Craig, I agree Novo has been inconsistant but i dont think moving him around from RM, LM, Sub to upfront has helped his case. However Novo has a much more consistant record in OF and European matches. He has done the biz in those games and was sucessful in his last full season he played upfront as was the team. I look at the forward line of 2005 and see Prso, Novo, Arveladze and Lovenkrands then look what we have / had this season (Boyd, Miller, Lafferty, Darcheville and Naismith) and cant even begin to see any similarites in quality. Again il agree with you he is our top scorer but i cant call him a natural finisher or an all round striker. And during the time he was fired up after the Burley thing I saw a different Boyd who was on form and showing a great attitude and scoring good goals - yet it lasted 8 games which isnt good enough and he is back to his lacklusture self again who doesnt offer anything to the team bar thumping a penalty or free kick. And nice to see you have continued the debate in a mature manner, good man :cheers:

Jons words were he is the 'best we have' not 'best scorer we have'.
-
WS says 'a draw wouldnt be a bad result for either team' - does that mean he is out to settle for a point?
-
Awesome player. Wouldnt mind seeing him back at the club in the future in some capacity. Agree with DJ, he would need to get some experience first. But he was a true quality striker and man who showed hie desire for the club.
-
If he is the best we have then our team has went more backwards than i can imagine
-
Not me im afraid, just another fan who see's the real Boyd. As for Novo, you are wrong here. He got 25 goals upfront with Prso a few seasons ago so thats proof enought for me that he can score goals if he was played upfront. As for Boyd attracting interest - yeah from McLeish only! The man who took him to Rangers. I didnt see anyone else other than Cardiff show interest yet they are interested in anyone who plays in the SPL.
-
Jon i suggest you go to youtube and watch a clip of Ally McCoist and watch his all round game. Remember that diving header away at Leeds?? Can you imagine Boyd trying to get on the end of that??
-
I dont buy this thing he is a natural finisher. Has nobody seen the amount of fluffs and fresh air shots he has done?? A finished can also finish headers and attacks balls - he doesnt do this. Coisty, Robbie Fowler and Alan Shearer were natural finishers.
-
Havent heard that term for years!!!! First time i heard it was in 1994 when going to an OF game on Granite City supporters bus. We passed a tim coach and 1 guy on our bus jumped started thumping the window and shouted "Get off the Queens highway you dirty ******* b*****ds" ......me and my mate were in knots
-
Fine post sir
-
Crikey the Highlands is empty as it is. With 90% of the population going out that day we better get the Army up there to make sure the terrority isnt invaded and taken over
-
Good night all round and even Velicka got a goal - Will he be the surprise inclusion this weekend???????? Bougherra is turning out to be a star, he just wants to do solo's all day and he is comfortable running with the ball.
-
Ian, when copying an article, can you delete the advertisements. :cheers:
-
With Boyd on the back of your shirt?? :fish:
-
Yip just saw that on the other thread. Looks to be doing well at the moment also.
-
Any news on Bougherra, fingers crossed he came back ok. He is a key man for Sunday.
-
Agree RE Broadfoot, he is going a decent job at RB and id have him there well ahead of Whittaker. Dont know what it is about playing centre halfs at full back but its been done over the years with Porrini, Vidmar, Dailly, Broadfoot to name a few.
-
Surprising to see Hemdani get a run out. That answers my question about Edu on another thread about him being here or with the US. Seems he is playing well at the moment. But that defence would scare the shit out of me if it started a first team game
-
Is Edu over there also?
