Surprise Surprise Boyd want back in the scotland set-up

http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scot...unt-me-in.html

I'd personally tell him to GTF

Would u?

***CallumLaidlaw*** · 28-12-2009 11:18 PM

as much as it pains me to say it, I would have him in there. He scores goals. Scotland don't. Simples.

***Alex Trager*** · 28-12-2009 11:21 PM

I for one would most certainly tell him to ****** off.He is such a massive **** , scotland should never accept him back

***HibbiesandtheBaddies*** · 28-12-2009 11:22 PM

Of course he's welcome back, he can carry Deeks luggage onto the plane.....

**Hainan Hibs** · 28-12-2009 11:26 PM

I'd have him back in the team.

I'm with you

**hibs is life** · 28-12-2009 11:35 PM

he is a goal scorer so he should get another chance but if he starts his chucking his toys out the pram then they should tell him 2 bolt

**Brando7** · 28-12-2009 11:38 PM

Puts Levein into his 1st predicament

If he calls him up will he be thinking well i better play him or he'll go in the huff again

Now he's putting the boot into his fellow pros for faking injury to get out of playing for scotland

Boyd GFT

**hibsdaft** · 29-12-2009 12:20 AM

the guy needs to grow up.

**steve75** · 29-12-2009 12:40 AM

if that article was say about deek (assuming he walked out etc...) we'd all be wishing him back into the squad. He's saying all the right things (how much is true i'll never know) and he deserves another chance, however one more moan n he should never be considered again.

**hibiedude** · 29-12-2009 07:30 AM

I would welcome Boyd back but not the other 2

Reasons being Boyd fell out with Burley when he became the 5th striker which was a joke so he told him to GTF

the other two muppets stuck there fingers up to the fans now its our turn to give them the finger.

Just my opinion

I’m the opposite to that. Boyd walked out on his country – McGregor and Ferguson were banned for sticking their fingers up to the media (not the fans as the media would have you believe).

I'd tell Boyd to ram it and let the other 2 back (especially McGregor).

If the Glasgow based media get there way all 3 will be back.

Did they make Levein say that he'd be willing to select all 3?

**~~Phil D. Rolls~~** · 29-12-2009 08:11 AM

Boyd should never be allowed back. It was pathetic the way he went away in the huff like that - all he did was show that he plays for himself and not the team.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 29-12-2009 08:20 AM

"I wasn't playing at club level and I definitely wasn't playing at international level.

Do you think Boyd is intelligent enough to see whats happening there.

**bighairyfaeleith** · 29-12-2009 08:26 AM

levein should pick him for the squad but leave him on the bench for a couple of games to see how he reacts.

The other two should never play for scotland again.

If it keeps Kenny "Run like a chicken" Miller out the team then YES!

TBH, from a purely footballing point of view... after the way they both played on Sunday, I'd have them both starting.

***J-C*** · 29-12-2009 09:18 AM

I don't think Burley came out of all this very well, he seemed to alienate some of the more senior players in the squad.

His tactics at times were a bit bizzarre and Boyd had enough when
desperate for a goal Burley sent on that huddie from Wolves, he then allowed some of the players to stay up and have a drink in the hotel because he was desperate for a drink himself.

Boyd should be welcomed back because his gripe was with Burley himself and not Scotland, remember he did say he would never play for Scotland again while Burley was in charge.

Only thing is, most International sides don't have the likes of Hogg and Maka as opposition to our strikers..

True

However, I was actually impressed with Boyd's work-rate. I think someone has had a word.... eg start working hard or you'll never get a move South... or else he's matured a bit. FGS, at one point I saw him back in his own half!

The other point I'd make is that it's often smart to play club partnerships, eg at the centre of defence and up front. I don't think we have anything better.

So Caldwell and McManus at CB and Boyd and Miller upfront.

Bye bye any chance of qualifying for a tournament.

**Westie1875** · 29-12-2009 09:51 AM

I'd like to know who the fakers were, whichever cowards faked injury don't deserve a place in the squad.

**PeeJay** · 29-12-2009 10:00 AM

Surely players such as Boyd or Ferguson and McGregor have forfeited any 'right' to play for Scotland again? If they feel they are above the team and they can withdraw or offer their labour whenever they feel like it then they have an attitude problem that is simply not acceptable for a professional footballer. Part of Scotland's miserable international record is that we have had to put up with players like this! I'm not for having them back. There's enough young lads out there who would love to play for their country: these people had the chance and blew it. We can't get any worse than we have been recently so why bother with them, let's start afresh.

No need for the silly wee smilies to try and put down reasoned debate.

I did say "it's often smart.." I didn't say it IS the best.

Boyd is raking up the dirt in order to enhance his own chances of getting a welcome back to the Scottish Squad. This in itself makes me want to vomit.......the man's a skunk. However, he'll be back, all forgiven by Levein. He's already said he will be in his squad, "Why wouldn't I want him in my team?" This along with the selection of McGregor and Ferguson will definitely alienate me and I suspect many others from actively supporting Scotland in future. Sure, there will always be a soft spot for Scotland but I think indifference , win or lose, best describes my feelings.

I agree with you on Boyd but Ferguson and McGregor didn't withdraw their labour.

Fair point - badly expressed by myself perhaps, but they certainly felt they were above the team so they wouldn't be asked back if I had anything to say about future team selection.

***500miles*** · 29-12-2009 11:02 AM

If Ferguson and McGregor wish to come back, I have no problem with it in principle. I doubt they are good enough to make any relevant contribution. They stuck their fingers up at the media, and to be honest, most non-OF fans would love to do that.

As for Boyd, he stuck his fingers up at the fans when he decided it wasn't worth his time being part of the Scotland squad. He should never play for Scotland again. There are far better players than him who never turned out for Scotland in the past, and would have loved to be in his position.
