Kris Boyd

[KingPat4]

Good to see the fat Hun ****** having a dig at Sparky over a 'Lack of professionalism'.

Seems to be ok now to have a dig at players suffering mental illness.

[007]

Boyd has shamed the memory of his own brother.

[Jim44]

Let’s not give this Hun muppet some credibility by having a thread about him. Yes, I know I’ve contributed but you know what I mean. Best ignored.

Due to a mental illness does not warrant you suddenly being immune to criticism over behaviour. All depending on the situation mind you.

This was nothing to do with behaviour, it was to do with LG missing games of football. His stats were wildly inaccurate, He insinuated a bad attitude in training, with absolutely no facts to back that up, when in reality LG played nearly every game other than those he missed with injury, or due to mental health issues.

More of a comment on Boyd than on Sparky

[B.H.F.C]

Sky’s pundits for Scottish football are brutal; Boyd, Commons and Walker.

Boyd plays the game. Say something controversial, everybody talks about it, job done.

[The Harp Awakes]

In the the last tic v hun game at Parkheid Boyd was a pundit and he was greeting his face off at half time about refereeing decisions going against the huns. Turned off before I could see his smug face at full time.

Rodgers implied he did not show up for training occasionally. But if you have ever suffered from mental health issurs you will know that you don't want to meet anyone and absentism from work is one way of doing it.

Hope LG continues to recover. Scotland needs him and he is a lovable Hibs bam.

[hibbydog]

I’m confused about Kris Boyd.

On the one hand he’s suffered a terrible loss and is doing great work for people with mental health problems. Good on him.

On the other hand, he’s a despicable attention seeking hun. He tries to be controversial but he’s just not smart enough to pull it off. Total dick!

Change my mind depending on what mood I’m in.

I don't think CB knows the story but I will guess he knows more than you and I don't think either of you have enough info to make a well reasoned decision.

Yep, I've always preferred BT Sports pundits over that lot big time

[lord bunberry]

I don’t mind Boyd, he’s like Sutton in so many ways, but just a bit less articulate. The point he’s making about Griffiths is a valid one, he’s just not making it very well. The fact that he can’t even get his stats right make him look extremely amateurish which is in keeping with Sky’s overall performance regarding match coverage. How hard can it be to find a decent host and a few decent pundits? The problem is they always seem to want an ex Celtic and ex Rangers player. Their coverage is akin to watching paint dry.

I quite like Boyd as well.

He’s misjudged the sensitivity surrounding this one a wee bit though.

He probably has, but I do think he was looking at it from a football point of view. Obviously there’s other factors at play here.

Not sure what you even mean there or who CB is?

The simple facts are Kris Boyd took to national tv to slate Griffiths about his work ethic and attitude in training being the reason he has only played 34 times in 135 games.

The real stats are: 136 games, 72 appearances, 27 injured and 23 due to time off for mental health issues.

This means he has not made the squad or off the bench in 14 games over that period when not injured/suspended/unavailable. While competing with Dembele and Edouard for one single centre forward slot, those stats are fairly reasonable, not that of someone who Fanny’s about not giving a chance toss, and that is where Boyd should be apologising for.

His statement is even more embarrassing as he completely misses the point of why people are rightfully angry, nobody was talking about him mentioning Griffiths’ mental strength, it was the fact he slated him for missing games of football which were mostly for the reasons stated above.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Maybe he should stick to things he actually knows about like colours and the names of animals :)

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Probably a ridiculous question but has anyone in the media called him out on his comments?

Yes. Graeme McGarry in The Herald.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Says a lot about "Boydy " that he has to go on the offensive to explain his comments and he is taking the line that people are not understanding, rather than that he hasn't explained himself. Similarities to that piece that Commons did about us. Badly judged and open to accusations of look at me.

Stupid people like Boyd never have the grace to apologise and move on.

The Commons piece was a transparent hatchet job aimed at Dempster for sacking his mate Lennon. Very little in it about the team.
