He was great in that first season and atrocious in the second. I see your Declan Gallagher ..... and I raise you a Tom Boyd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Carson - good guy, Liam Polworth - w**k. Is that the idea? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always appreciate James Scott for triggering Tom Boyd into a different dimension in that game at Parkhead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I think Boyd was well-enough thought of when he was at the club - he went total w**k soon after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Boyd literally won the Scottish Cup as Motherwell captain and we sold him to Chelsea for £800k. Fair enough he's not done much to endear himself after that but his time as captain wasn't much of an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapowzer Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Granted but when I look back at Dec his highest and most significant game was a sending off after 70' in a pumping by Israeli's. Tom Boyd was the captain of our team that won our only silverwear in 70 years and I'd have no issue switching off his life support machine to recharge my iPhone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough he's not done much to endear himself after that but his time as captain wasn't much of an issue. I'm not sure if he really wanted to go to chelsea though. Remember that players had very little say on the issue. For example it wouldn't surprise me if Tommy McLean said he would never let him move to Celtic, who were his team. Clubs had complete control over the issue. If a guy didn't comply he got stuck in the reserves and put on a basic wage. And at the time a decent part of a player's wage was appearance money and bonuses. I watched The Steelmen on BBC Alba recently and Boyd was alright on that. not a complete wido like he is on Celtic TV and in the papers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him in the Edinburgh derby - he doesn't look to have developed at all throughout his shady transfer moves - exactly the same player as he was at Fir Park 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Note the club haven’t said anything yet about tickets for Ibrox. Rangers ticket sales showing one section in the ‘away end’ with no ticket sales so would presume we’re getting some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZX1886 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Weird how they can offer tickets to Celtic and not us... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Its the same excuse Celtic has given to every other club so I would like us to not give any away tickets for the return fixture. Seems only right as Rangers have done that as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
