Gribz 988 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 still can't understand why people want to get rid of the most natural scorer we have at the club and have had for quite some time. At the same time he is also the most natural fluffer we have. :moon: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Said the same thing an got slagged for it loads mate he virtually won us the 2 cups and had a great goals to games ratio as well. just because he doesn't run himself into the ground like other players some fans don't like him. He is improving his game and hopefully will much more. he gets slagged off for not scoring in the big games or against the big clubs, if he doesn't play in them how is he ever going to do that?? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 988 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Said the same thing an got slagged for it loads mate I dont know who has slagged you off. I certainly have been Boyds biggest critic on here but ive never slagged you off. At the same time look at your last post No point taalkin sense with you while you stilll want Buffel to feature Pot, kettle.....Black and all that...... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 988 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 still scores more than anyone we have at the club simple, fluffer or not m8.... super ally never fluffed any did he Maybe, but his style of play still makes it look like we are playing games with 10 men. I still cant see how anyone can compare McCoist to Boyd for 2 reasons. 1) McCoist was a class striker and pre leg break did a lot more then just be a poacher. 2) McCoist played in a system that was made for that type of striker. To be fair on Boyd he hasnt played with a Hateley type player to allow him to be a poacher. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter657 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Boyd has said in the paper this morning that he will only go when Walt tells him to. Yey! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'm with Gribz on this one. A striker as Boyd was great 10-20 years ago when it took 10 minutes to get the ball from one end of the park to the other. These days the game is so fast that a striker who can't hold a ball up can be as much a liability as a bad defender. If the midfield know a striker is ball fast they will be willing to make forward runs. If i gave Boyd the ball there would always be a doubt in my mind that he will lose it and i would be caught out of position. What is the point of scoring 25 goals a season if you are putting your defence and midfield under pressure by not holding on to the ball. I voted that i wanted Boyd to stay but he would only be coming off the bench if i was manager. Maybe the next poll should be Boyd in starting line up, Boyd off the bench or Boyd out the door. If he wants to stay coming off the bench then that would be great for me. he does earn his money scoring important goals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 To think some people who prefer Lafferty to Boyd..!! its madness As far as i have read on here there is few who even know how Lafferty plays so i guess your remark is aimed at Walter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
