Agree with Gisabeer.... I hope Miller signs a contract extenstion. He has been carrying an injury for weeks hence his poor form. Ws should never have played him. This did damage to BF also. Didnt anyone notice how much we improved when he came on against Celtic?? Some of his touches were delightful!!! Yet too many fans simply saw him wearing a hooped jersey - wake up

hey, i didnt play for West Ham U12s for nothing!!!! A paper round cut my career short :fish: Mate, this is the main point that we dont need to worry about. If the team is good enough then we will win games. His goals dont guarentee anything until we have wrapped 3 pts - if he is the weekly matchwinner then your right. We won many titles before without worrying if McCoist would be fit etc. We used to worry about Laudrup being out the team from 94-97 but can you honestly compare Boyd to Laudrup?????

Final comment on Boyd for me. The guy is lazy and moody and is fitting into the "Barry Ferguson mind" of thinking he is Mr Rangers and deserves a place in the team rather than earning it. These are a few of the reasons i dont like him playing as it effects the team all over. His mood spread throughout the team. Not to mention the fact it is like playing with 10 men when he plays. I flash back to Motherwell away when Ferguson was dropped and he pointed the number 6 to Ferguson in the stand after Le Guen had the guts to drop Ferguson. This to me was totally disrespectful and showed an opinion that being a rangers fan to these players meant more than PLAYING for Rangers. There is no doubt that the guy can find the back of the net - yet so can i if you give me a ball and set me up 50 times. Also if you gave me 10000 pounds a week you would see me running my bollocks off in the gym and getting myself in great shape so i could give my all for the team. It wouldnt take George Burley to play a couple of other players ahead of me to kick start my Rangers career!!! Im sorry but Boyd is childish and he carries a depressing attitude onto the park for simply not getting a game!!! We dont need this attitude at Rangers. Id love to see what the likes of Sir Alex would do with a sulker like this!! The sooner Rangers get rid of negativeness like this then we will start winning again!!!.

Pretty much agree with Cammy here. I was a huge critic of McLeish yet looking back now i didnt appreciate the tough times Rangers were dealt with. McLeishs biggest problem was he was coming in on the back of a hugely succesful Rangers era where trophies were as common as muck but he had to tighten the shoe laces. He did inherit a wonderful group of players and got them working well. His team had is scoring 93 goals 1 season from all over the park which won us the title. But his later days had too many fans scratching there heads, he defined the words 'baffling tactics'. McLeish was also the start of a bad trend of siging run of the mill SPL players. He also picked players out of reputation rather than form. Whether this was down to his thoughts of the game or our budget is down to opinion. His career at Birmingham will give evidence on this. As for next Gers boss - Steve Bruce would be a great shout!!!

You get paid for being a copper in Glasgow???? :fish: I know what you mean chief. I had a season ticket holder and the thought of getting up at 7am to go to a Dunfermline game wasnt appealing anymore compared to when i was 15 or 16 in the 90s and couldnt sleep on a friday night with the excitement of getting on a train and going to Rangers for a day out. Changed days!!!! Ibrox has lost its touch!! The club dont help this at all! They cant even play decent pre match music to try and excite the fans. As you say Gav, the purchase of a ST is to cover Celtic games.

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.
