Scotland Squad

[vasilyrats86]

If you listen to the Sportsound podcast where he said this, he also said the Aberdeen call ups make Scotland a "laughing stock" and that none of our players are good enough to be in the squad. He then went into a full on rant about why Shinnie wouldn't get in the Celtic team, Christie was let go by Celtic because he isn't good enough, and so on.

He is just touting himself around as he kens his playing days are in their winter stage and retirement is nigh.

Obviously thinks he is capable of being a pundit and sees himself as the new Chris Sutton with his controversial comments.

Said that Hibs would have had Murray, Hanlon etc in the squad if the game was at Easter Rd. Also said that the new Killie manager is like night and day compared to the old regime. Roughly translated he and his mates never bothered their backsides for McCulloch and had the riot act read to them.

The sad thing is (given his inevitable views) he is capable of being a pundit.

Comes over as intelligent and articulate.



Which is a surprise.

Who is? Boyd? Or Boydee to his friends?

Really? I don't think he has an articulate bone in his body, and thats not cos he's a hun.

Rae is articulate, and he's one. Speaks sh1te, but articulate

Well, I just bung the earphones in and fall asleep to their s'hite so it might be a wrong spy.

Better than the nasal whinging of Barry Ferguson anyway.

Boyd has a history of trying and failing to pick the Scotland side.

Typical and almost laughable that the BBC would use one of it's lesser pundits comment as a headline. Like Boyd's opinion is the most important thing in Scottish sport right now?

Boyd is almost as annoying as wee Barry Bawheid.

Good on Michael Stewart for sticking up for Shinnie. I always feel he talks sense and stands his ground against the rest of the so called experts.

Also, can’t wait for the next game against Kilmarnock for Shinnie to anihilate the big fat twit.

Michael Stewart has basically mastered the "say whatever a guy down the pub would say but pretend it's a unique insight into the game" role (Steve Claridge does much the same thing in England). Most of what he says I agree with, but you can pretty much guess what he's going to say before he opens his mouth in most cases.

I'd actually rather listen to someone like Boyd spouting controversial nonsense, but he needs to work on his delivery because at the moment he sounds more like an angry caller on a phone-in than a pundit.
