Your posting is either
1) a contradiction thus making no sense
or
2) you know the reason why he is not being played but you know that this reason to be false and malicious. If that is correct then what you are saying is that he is being unfairly treated by both his Employers and Scotland.
If you change the phrase " I do know the reason" to " I have heard a reason as to" then in my opinion your posting would make sense.
My post makes perfect sense. It is one of the worst kept secrets in Scottish football, but because it cannot be proven, it is considered a rumour. There are some things that you hear that are false, and some that I know to be true.
A few recent events in Glasgow involving footballers haven't exactly had the real truth revealed in the papers.
I think you should look up the meaning of slanderous.
You aren't quite getting this are you?
I'll try once more.
Tim liked having sex with small boys.
Bob knew that Tim liked having sex with small boys but couldn't prove it. Regardless, Bob told the newspaper that Tim liked having sex with small boys.
Tim denied it and sued the paper for slander against his character.
Because neither Bob, nor the paper could prove that Tim liked having sex with small boys, Tim won.
Note, the above story is fictional and is nothing to do with Boyd at all. Understand yet?
Are you saying that you don't have any firm evidence to substantiate the reason as to why the named party is not played regularly but you do know it to be true as you have witnessed it?
