Why are you saying it's the boards fault that we didn't get any money from this transfer? You cannot get money from the 2nd transfer. Silly. Its not up to Celtic to pay us because he played for us a while back. It was all in the Dundee United deal.

Its not as if Britain has been free of Child Malnutrition for a while is it? Infact its not been long at all. So for a country who is boycotted by the biggest industrial power on earth, then Cuba are doing brilliant.

UNICEF confirms that Cuba is the only country in Latin America and the Caribbean that child malnutrition has been eliminated. Yep. Must he just terrible in Cuba. :P

That your a closet Celtic fan? :P Seriously, I dont think your a Celtic fan. Though surely a Rangers fan would avoid using the word hun also? I just happen to rate Boyd fairly highly (in terms of Scottish players) and would welcome him back, providing he backed up his inclusion and kept schtoom. If he isn't selected for whatever reason ask his coach, not complain and take a huff. Im all for 2nd chances, providing the person learns his lesson and takes that chance. Everone seems to have forgotten the O'Conner incident and the fact he left it until another manager came in before even apologising, or the fact Weir quit under Berti Vogts. But since then both have looked to press on. Because it is in the past. Ps to say Larsson went on to prove himself is a touch incorrect. He was already a regular in the Sweden squad before Celtic and had a starring role in Swedens 3rd place play-off victory thrashing of Bulgaria in the 1994 world cup. Petty I know. Yes but he still had to prove himself at that level didn't he? I wasn't just referring to his days at Celtic. I was saying that in Larsson's Career, he managed to prove himself at THE highest level. Boyd hasn't.

Yep. But only when it doesn't agree with UK or US agenda.

:( You guys have mad a horrible subject funny.

Looks like we could be up the **** folks. Lets hold onto hope. I know its a long shot, but if we are really in this amount of ****, the club should get players and volunteers to go to the eastgate ect with buckets and try collect money. At the end of the day, ICT brought in Millions to Inverness when it was in the SPL, and if ICT where to do well again, then Inverness would again get lots of money from it. If this point could get put across to the people of Inverness then with any luck, they might part with some money and help the club out. Even if its just the odd pound or something. Every little helps.

As u wish: Duuuuuuuuuuffffff yeah duff is on fire... and so on :tonguecheek: Was thinking more of 'the view, the view, the view are on fire' tune and not 'this sex is on fire.' Whoops Fail!

Come on, hes gone and yet he is still being used as a scapegoat. Even with him gone we are told to sit down. In most cases he is only the messenger and because of that he gets the flak. Its not right. He has made some bad decisions but they are bad enough as it is without stuff that is out of his hands being heaped on the guy.

Fair enough, personally, i do not rate Boyd and will not till he proves himself at a higher level. Like Larsson did.

I think you're right, but now we have Hayes, and if we could get Imre playing well again then we would do well. Two good wingers using the space availible.

I dunno but Brora Rangers have one of the biggest pitches in Scotland.

It became a labour party paper round about the time that arch tory, Tony Bliar became party leader.... It withdrew it's support for labour shotly after Brown became leader. Aye, it comes down to which party is fitting Merdochs agenda.

:029: :022: Are you being completely ignorant? We are agreeing he can score in the SPL, but its not that fecking hard. He has never proved himself when given the chance at a higher level. And he has had chances. Believe it or not, if Boyd had not scored those 5 against an atrocious Dundee United side, then he and Scott McDonald would be near level on goals. Thats not including McDonalds goal against Moscow. But take into consideration McDonald has scored against Rangers this term. I would think McDonald has been the better all round striker. He has scored more goals per chances taken so far this season and he has scored more against bigger teams. Oh and the last bit is a bit silly, as a lot of Celtic fans are Irish. But Celtic have an Irish Heratige. Going to complain that Rangers fans fly the Union Jack? As they only do it as a "Get it up ya" to Celtic.

My granny Hated it when i ever got the Sun or the Record. Both she said where Tory papers. Both, according to her, supported Thatcher and not the Coal miners during the strikes. Things like that.

Lesser opposition than Scotland, where did you get that from? :021: I mean lesser teams in general. Ones we should beat at home and could beat away. Iceland, Georgia, Lithuania, Macedonia And I would fancy us to beat better teams with the right team and coach in charge. Even though I didnt say it, yes there are lesser teams than Scotland. Just not as many as there perhaps should be or needs to be to enable us to qualify for a tournament. Firstly, i think we are probably level with Macedonia. They are a decent team. But if we are failing to beat Georgia and Iceland without Boyd, then the problem is far beyond him. Its bigger than him. And stop going on about Healy! FFS! His goalscoring might not be as good, but i think hes a better all round player.

I read skytext. Its pretty good for when im sitting with Sky Sports News on (Which is all the time). Only paper i buy is the Scotsman now. Mirror is full of English sport and little or no Scottish. The Record is traditionally a Rangers and Tory paper so i avoid that, and the Sun is Tory. The Mail is Fascist. I enjoy buying a paper out of the shop and bringing it home to sit down and read. Makes me feel a big man :P

It's a joke tbh. You need to target the Kids that are binge drinking. I have had one or two pints before, i have been drunk, but i know my limits and after becoming drunk i don't drink anymore. Im not an alcoholic. Thats what needs to get through to the young'ans now-a-days. I don't get why a guy who works his arse off and then likes a pint after work should get punished because silly little kids are too idiotic to understand their own limits. Or are just to ignotant to bother seeing them. The main problem is actually spirits. Vodka is the worst. Most people my age get Vodka because it ****s you up the quickest and can go around the most people. Spirits kill. They are the ones that will kill you're liver if you start drinking them from a young age. Stick to a few Cider or Beer and it would all be fine for young people.

Your new to football aren't you? Not particularly. The point of my post, clearly lost for which I apologise (clarity can be a weakness on my behalf) was to possibly identify those who play in a similar position, who have yet to stick one or two petulant fingers up at our country and its supporters. It would, in my opinion, be "better" to provide opportunity for these guys rather that doff the cap and grovel to a pompus ass who has treated us with such contempt. This was cemented by my obviously unreallistic comment (I have no genetic link to Bertie Vogts) to suggest playing a six man midfield. Will be clearer next time. Sorry. Mmmm seem to remember James Mcfadden missing his flight home for going out on the oiss and sleeping in. Or Garry O Conner going awol then blaming it on personal problems (when he was spotted out in the Burgh) and then not even bothering to apologise for it. Such short memories. And as for the above Kenny Miller performing in a Scotland top. He had one good spell donks ago and thats it. I've lost hope when he's trough on goal because it would be a suprise for him not to fluff it. It would be a suprise for Boyd to balls it up like his team mate does all the time at vital moments. Kenny Miller gets into those positions as he works for it. Boyd wouldn't get into them.

THat could be disputed. Though, as much as i hate him, i think he does a better job for Scotland than Boyd would.

Good sensible post Sorted :) Agreed!

Lets deal in facts - 7 goals for Scotland in 15 games. ONE of which was a penalty against Faroes. Let me run through the rest of the goals for you to clarify- GOAL 1 - v Bulgaria - "Premier League top-scorer Boyd took just 13 minutes to claim his maiden goal with a fine first-time finish as he latched on to Darren Fletcher's perfectly placed pass to lash in an angled drive. " GOAL 2 - v Bulgaria - "Boyd, however, put his side back in front two minutes before the break when he was first to react after Stoyan Kolev spilled Russell Anderson's shot following a well-placed cross by Teale." GOAL 3 - v Faroe - "Fortune continued to smile on the Scots when a penalty was given for a trip on Boyd after 23 minutes. The award looked a soft one and the Rangers striker's spot-kick was not well executed but slid under Mikkelsen." GOAL 4 - v Faroe - "Boyd doubled his tally on 38 minutes, running on to a fine Fletcher pass and slotting into an empty net after Mikkelsen had blocked his initial shot." GOAL 5 - v Georgia - "Kris Boyd opened the scoring, heading home from a precise Gary Teale cross in the 11th minute." GOAL 6 - v S Africa - "Scotland improved after the break and Boyd scored with a half-volley after 71 minutes following a superb ball from captain Darren Fletcher." GOAL 7 - v Lithuania - "A glancing header from Kris Boyd gave the Scots a half-time lead." Quotes from BBC website via links from Wikipedia. Consider also that he has only made 6 starts in full international matches, in which he scored 6 goals. 8 of his caps were as a substitute (3 of which were in the last 10 mins of the game, including one where he came on in the 90th min, while a further 2 were in 70mins+). Info for this came from the SFA website. Yes, the 'ugly' Boyd apparently only scores penalties for Scotland. Personally speaking, I think Boyd needs to play in a set-up where he is supported by a 'work horse' striking partner. Sometimes this isn't an option/luxury that Scotland can work with in a game where we are playing against a top side and are playing for a draw or stolen goal. However, in the opportunities that he has been given for Scotland, the FACTS show that he has actually returned a decent scoring record. Ok, fair enough. But look at those teams he scored against. We should be beating them anyway. With or without him. Its the teams such as Norway and Greece that we should be looking to challange. And i doubt Boyd will be a big hit against them. Rubbish. What about Gary Lineker, Ian Rush, Andy Cole, John Aldridge, Dimitir Berbatov, Ian Wright. None of them were any use outside the box. And your point is caller? Would you turn down Wayne Rooney on that point? Leave the personal insults to the playground. McFadden? A work horse? I actually support Everton and most Toffee fans were delighted to get rid of him as he added so little due to his poor work-rate. Boyd and McFadden are completely different types of players. Peter Beardsley was a far more skillful player than Gary Lineker that would drop deep and pick up. Beardsley was far more hard-working too, whilst Lineker could barely pass the ball, couldn't tackle and rarely took players on. But he did something else. He scored regularly. Looks easy but it's the toughest job on the pitch. Besides which, McFadden hasn't played striker regularly at club level in years. There is no-one that comes anywhere remotely near Boyd's goal-scoring record. To not put him in in favour of strikers that do their best work outside the box but rarely score is crazy. McFadden works twice as much as Boyd. Anyone who disagrees obviously doesn't watch either player on a football pitch. I am not a big fan of McFadden, but he is far more a player than Boyd. You are silly. Berbatov outside the box more than he is in it. Watch some match of the day, or even some United games. He usually gets the ball outside the box and either loses it or creates a great scoring chance. All those other players you mentioned did far more than Boyd did. Boyd is useless without a Kenny Miller type player. Yet those you mentioned could play beside anybody. Thats the diffrence between SPL class, and EPL class. No wonder the SPL is going so far downhill when theres people like you who think Kris Boyd is great, then wonder why the game is going downhill!

Yes

I like Lidl for sweets and things. They are cheap and not the normal branded stuff you get out of the bigger supermarkets. My all time best supermarket is a good old Asda. Out of the two you are asking about, it splits in two. When i go food shopping with my mum (I make sure she gets the things i like), it all depends. If its just food we are looking to get, we go to Morrisons. Its the best, hands down. But obviously Tesco is good for other bits and bobs. If we need to pick up some things for around the house, or i need some new headphones ect, Tesco is really good. They have real Cheap electronic goods and housewear stuff. But a comparison of the two, Morrisons. There baking section is top notch

All time record in the SPL speaks volumes for me, especially given the fact he is only 26. And if he scores 5 goals against Europe's 'diddy teams' in Scotland colours then I'll be happy. Let me finish this statement for you. .. we need the highest quality players dispensable to us. We simply cannot afford to ignore the scoring exploits of someone like Boyd, when we are struggling to compete with the likes of Norway, Georgia and Wales. If we are to progress as a nation then we need the best players we have playing. You need to take off your tri-colored spectacles if you would rather see Iwelumo in Scotland colours ahead of Boyd. Off topic however, but I don't think Ferguson and MacGregor should be playing for Scotland again. Its funny, you mention Norway like they are a diddy team. Something they are not. Norway are a good side. I think we have a habbit in this country. A bad habbit. One good run in a qualifiying campaign and suddenly we are world beaters? No, we need to remember our place. We are not *****, but i think we just had a really good period to get to 13th in the world rankings. When Boyd proves himself at a higher level than the SPL, then i might cosider him a decent footballer. But currently, he is scoring against League 2 level sides. Celtic are a top quarter Championship team. Yet he can't even score against them. Sums it up for me. Scotland strike force of.................. McFadden----------Fletcher----------McCormack. But Fletcher has scored a few in the EPL. Something Boyd wouldn't do. Boyd for certain wouldnt score in the EPL? Thats a certainty yeah? I'm not so sure. Put the ball in the 6 yard box and more often than not he is in the right place to tuck it away and does. Granted he does not have some of the aboves skill. But look at the Hibs game just passed, Scored 1 and set up the other 3. I've said it before but boyd is up near the top of Rangers assist table in the last 2 years. He does more than just score. And Besides Dickov managed to score in the EPL. Think he may have got 7 total for Scotland if he's lucky. The SPL on average is a league 1/lower championship in standard. The old firm could compete in the premiership. They do no worse in the champions league than say, a Bolton, would do. So you have McFadden, Fletcher and McCormack. McCormack who was dumped by Rangers or Fletcher who was ignored by the OF until his price was too high. And our talisman obviously who cant pass a ball. He's like a rich mans Dougie Imrie. rarely looks up. And Ferguson was very good for Rangers before his injury, which he played through. Is the only player Scotland have, capable of making play (D.Fletcher does the simple stuff and allows others to play through his graft, and Brown runs around alot and can run with the ball at feet but isnt really a playmaker.) Too many people look at the OF and say that their players are SH*** but could it be they are good players playing with other good players as opposed to above average playing with mediocre players? Fact is, the old firm have the best nucleus of Scottish talent as shown by league position. They cherry pick the best for themselves. They dont suddenly become bad because they play for the OF and may not shine so bright as they did at Humpty FC. To round up i totally agree with Levien. We are not good enough to ignore anyone. Particularly anyone who scores 160 goals by the time he is 26, In Scotland. Changed the last bit for you. Its fine and well saying he scores that many, but you have to take into consideration how **** the teams are up here! Look at Bellamy. He scored for fun up here. He would top Boyd in the Scoring records if he was still at Celtic. But back in England, he works is arse off. He is known as a great finisher down in England. He is a great player. Yet most seasons he only just makes it into double figures. I don't think i have seen a striker like Boyd who has actually managed to do well in the EPL. A poacher doesn't make it in England.....Same goes for a International team who arn't exactly great. And btw, just because he has scored penalties for Dcotland doesn't make him a good International Striker. The only abilities Boyd has are being ugly as ****, and scoring against **** teams. McFadden works. He works like ****. Remember some of his great goals for Scotland? Lets look at his latest one. Boyd would never be seen that far back on a football pitch to get the ball there, he doesn't have the skill to get past players the way McFadden did, he also doesn't have the tanasity to keep going when it looks like the ball might be lost. Boyd is a one trick pony. And in a higher level of Football to the SPL, you gotta' have more than one trick.
