Boyd is first and foremost a goal scorer..I would rather have a lazy player who scores goals, than one who runs up and down the pitch scoring bugger-all.
Burley should have played him..certainly for the second half..instead he had him sitting on the bench whilst not one man on the pitch could put a ball in the net.
Even with ten minutes to go..Boyd could have been a potential scorer. Big mistake by Burley..even though the man is sex on legs.

He isnt first and foremost a goal scorer. He is ONLY a goalscorer.

Yeah..heavens forfend we try any of that goal-scoring nonsense eh?

:lol: :lol:

From his comments today, it looks like Walter Smith isn’t going to speak up to defend Boyd and that says more about the player than anything Burley will ever say.

Something’s not right in the Scotland set up and I think it’s about respect. Read Des McKeown in the Sun today and I agree fully with what he said, how many players walked out on or challenged Smith or Big Eck?

There’s just something about Burley that doesn’t inspire me as a fan and I reckon the players may feel the same. Goes back to the point I made about his press conference, stating that it wasn’t about Kris Boyd or George Burley when it was pretty obvious what it was about. Then bringing Walter Smith’s name into it even though there was actually no need just to highlight his point. If it’s nothing to do with Boyd then it’s even less to do with him. I thought that he said the right things but in completely the wrong way.

McGregor’s outburst makes it pretty clear that for some of the players, their loyalties lie elsewhere.

Has this got anyone else thinking of the Berti Vogts era? Fans divided, tactical criticism, player unrest, sounds familiar.
