His trolling articles have got so ridiculous, certainly towards us, that I now find them more funny than annoying. I do find it baffling that he seems to have such a problem with us. I don’t have any problem with him as a player, decent goal scorer but like others, I don’t think he ever lived up to his potential. Does he actually troll Celtic that often? Aberdeen and to an extent Hearts seem to be his main targets. Maybe he feels more comfortable having a go at the east coast clubs from afar. Shinnie's proven him wrong a few times now, and with the one win in 22 matches record, maybe it all got a bit too much for Boyd and led to that coward's challenge on Saturday. As for the game in general - I knew driving in when they mentioned it being a cracker, that the opposite would transpire. Both teams' relative success is based on being well-organised - and as much as AFC had the better of what chances there were, I still thought our own priority was safety first as well, as it was clear we were treating Kilmarnock with far more respect than we normally would for this fixture.

It didn't work out for him in England, but he definitely tried. You could easily make the same argument about Shinnie. He moved on from Inverness to Aberdeen but hasn't kicked on to play at a higher level despite potentially being good enough to do so. Awful bait. Wow.

The other was dropped for any fixtures at his peak when facing opponents of similar or higher calibre because he was a waste of a jersey. As I said if he applied himself better when at the **** then he could have been so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This boils my piss ... just because you have an alternative view to someone , it seems that you are trolling nowadays , it must be this soshul meeja generation . Previously it was called a discussion or an argument between adults debating their point of view . Just because I defend , for instance Kris Boyds right to give or have an opinion or attack Shinnie/Gerard’s/Brenda’s etc opinion or action doesn’t make me a troll . Neither does a sarcastic ,droll or funny reply . IMO it’s a reply used usually when the proposer is losing the argument or can’t think of a sufficient retort that encapsulates their thoughts.

If that boils your piss then I suggest you've got issues. It's words on the internet. The boy used an awful example of a comparison that I assumed he was trying to get a reaction.

killiefan27 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Not going to post the whole thing, as it's very long, but: Quote No-one is obliged to like Kris Boyd, and you get the feeling it might tick him off if they did: he relishes the boos from opposition fans almost as much as he does scoring against their teams. You don’t even have to respect him, read his columns or watch him on television. Booing Boyd is a noble tradition at many Scottish grounds, and there's no reason that shouldn't continue for as long as he's still pulling on his boots. It’s surely undeniable though that he’s an entertaining and essential part of the Scottish football furniture, and our game would be poorer place without his presence. Long live Tarbolton's most famous pie enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said if he applied himself better when at the **** then he could have been so much more. Boyd gave 100% every single time he stepped on the park for Rangers as well, and played over 40 games for them in every full season he was there despite a lot of competition for his position. Boyd forced himself into the Scotland team and scored goals in crucial qualifiers against Lithuania and Georgia. He was dropped for some games against Celtic and some European matches because he wasn't suited to the system they played at the time, and because fundamentally he wasn't good enough as a player, just like Shinnie isn't good enough to be picked ahead of McGregor or Armstrong for Scotland regardless of how hard he tries. He could have given 400% and he still wouldn't have been up to that level in those big games. The idea that boyhood Rangers fan Kris Boyd didn't apply himself or give 100% for them is quite obviously nonsense. If that was the case, then it's unlikely he'd be so popular amongst their support, or that he would have lasted so long under the management of a hard-nosed manager like Walter Smith. The main thing that you have criticised Boyd for, staying in the Scottish Premiership until his mid 20s, applies to Shinnie too. Both of them are guys who left the "smaller" clubs where they started out to move to their boyhood heroes, and then hung around at that club for a bit longer than they necessarily needed to. You are building your arguments based on your dislike of Boyd rather the cold hard facts about his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinnie has found his level. Could play in the English championship easily in my opinion, but I'd imagine he's seen as too short. I'd imagine any boyhood Rangers who scored the amount of goals he did would be loved. Pretty daft point to make. How I feel about Boyd has nothing to do with it. Shinnie isn't a Don's fan either.

I think it's fairly obvious why Boyd rarely played v Celtic or started any games during the UEFA cup run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's too much of coward for that....2 cheeks etc etc....plus the fact that he probably values his windows. It's much easier for him to make his name being 'controversial' about easier targets. Did some nutcase on here describe him as being 'succesful at 2 jobs', just because he pulls on a check suit and is told to say a few daft things from time to time ? Lol. Hahahahaha. There have always been a few Kille wallopers kicking about social media, but they've excelled themselves on this thread. It's become Fermer-esque.
