Super Cooper 0 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Since when do journos refer to Scotland managers by their first name? When he is an ex-Celtic manager. The media are slabbering all over Strachan, their love-in is cringey. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,679 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Since when do journos refer to Scotland managers by their first name? I'm sure they did it when Walter was manager too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 307 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Boyd could have been top drawer - if he wasn't so lazy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossy 0 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Boyd could have been top drawer - if he wasn't so lazy. Or under a different manager ....... Boyd was a penalty box striker and he was very very good at that. A different manager would have played to that strength rather than trying to make him into a different type of player. For example, putting him up front with a big strong guy like Prso or Hately rather than asking him to play lone striker. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Well done Kris boyd, a natural goal scorer and poacher, we could do with one of them now, although some fans wouldn't be happy for him just to score goals 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amms 0 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Boyd deserves his call-up, realistically who would people choose in front of him? Scotland's lack of decent forwards isn't his fault. To be fair to Strachan he's at least made the Scotland side competitive, again the lack of genuine talent isn't his fault. He's a big improvement on his predecessor. Boyd's been cropping up on Radio Scotland a lot recently, he's much better than you expect him to be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Strachan: "He is a terrific professional who works hard on his game." In reference to Boyd. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Night Owl Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Old school poacher who got the goals. Thats why Celtic managed to make Hooper a success and sell him for a tidy sum, because they accepted him as being a penalty box striker and built the team around it... whereas some Einstein at Ibrox thought Boyd was an athlete with an attitude problem.... noooo that would just be a good old fashioned selfish to the core goal snatcher. Get McKay and Templeton on the wings and Boyd in the box with some midfield support from law and McLeod you have yourself a threat. Dunno what the rivalry between Ally and Kris is but to be honest its all in the past, if McCoist can't let that go then he's not as big a man as I thought he was. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Boyd with 1 assist 1 goal yesterday in Kilmarnocks win at Ross County. But I was shocked to see the condition of Boyd he looked in the best shape in his career....looks like he lost all his weight and strong. Has he finally matured and realised what being a footballer is all about! His assist and goal was impressive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Would love him back. Him and Miller in January. And i understand all about long term plans, short termism etc etc but we are short up front and i don't believe we have enough "winning" experience in the squad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
