Baffled by tactics and Boyd's omission 12:48pm on 14 Oct 2008 RE: Jamminben 13's comment - Everyone has an opinion and that's great and I agree that you can't have a full squad with tath kind of attitude, but seriously what your suggesting is filling our team with fit headless chickens? We see them every weekend, they and we all want to pull on the Scotland jersey but who'd ever watch a team like that ...... Go look at the lower junior leagues. It's all about man mangement and for me, a good manager and a good player (benched or not stripped), if they're honest, know who can do it on the park, irrespective of how they train.
Baffled by tactics and Boyd's omission 12:30pm on 14 Oct 2008 RE: Hot Butters comment, I agree, but I'd wager he'd make an impact at a top flight Premier league club just as easily. There were doubters when he got into the Kilmarnock team because of his "lack of work rate", proved wrong, when he joined Rangers ...... Proved Wrong - He's a predator, predators get goals, the other 9 outfield players supply the ammunition - You can't teach what Boyd has.
Baffled by tactics and Boyd's omission 12:24pm on 14 Oct 2008 I've known and had the pleasure of working (coaching) with Kris since he was a boy playing in the local Ayrshire schoolboy leagues. If what I've heard is true that Kris uses his mobile to send TXT's and is late to attend meetings then I'd put that down to the Manager and the discipline he instils in the team, so if this is the reason Kris hasn't played I agree with his decision to quit under Burley. However, assumiong this is the case, Kris is a smart lad and he also has to take some responsibility for his actions and buckle down - But I think not, he was never the "hardest" worker on the park, he was always grumpty when a pass didn't come his way, he was always a little selfish but he was and does always score goals and off the park, a nicer lad I've never met, polite, friendly and always larking around. I sadly think the comment about training ground attitude and the sweetie wife behaviour fits, the coaches pick players using the wrong set of criteria sometimes. .. Imagine if Big Anelka was Scottish, wouldn't get on the bench eh ...... I'm like most Scot's, I want to see the best team on the park, irrespective of whether or not he's up some coaches trouser leg .... Get him in and let him play, he was always a pain in the *** as a sub but name me a player who's happy not playing!?
