DefinitelyMaybe Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 To everyone saying "if he scores the winner I dont care" that' all well and good but when people are touting him as a kilmarnock legend when his heart clearly lies else where, it dosnt sit well with me. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 He is a killie legend to score all those goals is unbelievable when he is done playing we will miss him he can do whatever he wants as long as he keeps scoring goals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbk Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 This whole Kris Boyd debate can be answered by one simple question where would our club be without his goals for us?? As for his other clubs allegiance we all know who he supported growing up he has not hidden that fact let's just be thankful he plays for us at the moment I'm sure many other spfl clubs would be grateful for his services this season!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvis Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 FFS who cares what team he supports, he’s his own person and can support who he wants as long as if the opportunity to score against them arises he takes it I personally don’t care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch14 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Very good on Sportsound tonight. Interesting wee comment from Kenny McIntyre about them wanting Boyd to be 'let back on' on a Monday. I still think Steve had a wee chat somewhere along the line. But Boyd spoke so well about the club tonight. Good man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good interview although he made the mistake of describing the manager as being "simple", which raised a laugh in the studio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd says the Rugby Park side are targeting fourth place in the Scottish Premiership now they are assured of a top-half finish. With three games to play before the league splits in two, Steve Clarke's side know they will finish in the top six for the first time since 2010-11. Currently fifth, Killie trail fourth-placed Hibernian by six points. "Now we're in fifth, we're starting to say 'can we push on and get fourth?'" Boyd, 34, said on BBC Radio Scotland. "We're four clear of Hearts, with a game in hand as well. Fifth would be an unbelievable achievement for us but I think we don't want the season just to peter out, we want to push on and hopefully try and catch Hibs. "Over the years, there's not many games that have been won in the top six. If we can go and win those three games between now and the split, we give ourselves a chance. "Hibs are a very, very good team but we feel if we continue the way that we have, the last three games before the split we've Hamilton twice and [Partick] Thistle as well. Are they winnable? Yes. "We go into them with confidence and then in the top six, anything can happen." Boyd scored against his former club as Kilmarnock beat Rangers 1-0 at Ibrox on Saturday, while dropped points over the weekend by Motherwell and Hamilton Academical meant Killie will be in the top six, though Well can still catch sixth-placed Hearts. Hibs are chasing Aberdeen and Rangers with leaders Celtic closing in on a seventh successive top-flight title. "When you look at the top six as it stands right now, five of them should be in there with the money they're spending, the size of the club, the gates they get," Boyd said on Sportsound. "So there was really only one place up for grabs for me at the start of the season, or it should be. For us to get in there, it's great for Kilmarnock." Boyd's haul of 20 goals this season includes 15 in the Premiership, making him the league's top scorer. His form was rewarded with a contract extension for next season but he admits he came close to calling time on his career before Clarke was appointed manager in October when the club was languishing near the foot of the table. "When you go back a few months, it was dreamland if you'd have thought where we would've been right now," added Boyd. "I look back at the start of the season, I was ready to chuck it. I had had enough. I felt as if my body was done. The first conversation I had with [Steve Clarke] was I was ready to wrap it [only] for him to be able to talk me round to stay. "Did I believe I had 20 goals in me? Yes, I'll back my ability, but it's the guys round about me. I know I can score goals, I know I can get into positions but there's now players round about me that can do what I can't do - Jordan Jones, Rory McKenzie, Youssouf Mulumbu, Lee Erwin's come in. "The big one for me has been Eamonn Brophy. I think that the kid has got a real chance. "The way I am now is the exact same as what I was at 20, 21 years old. I've always depended on my team-mates creating opportunities." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 He spoke very well last night. Since the change of manager he has upped his game and got his priorities in order. I don’t think his importance can be underestimated. The respect he has in that dressing room it was vital he bought into what the manager wanted to do and became the leader we needed in there. He’s really stepped up to the captains role when the club captain is still running about looking for calpol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candygram for mongo Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Something has obviously been said to him re: his Monday night appearances on Sportsound. Listening to him last night I think he said, I assume jokingly that 'you've binned me.' I don't imagine the station would've stopped him coming on because they'd enjoy his controversy. However his absence has been noticeable in the past couple of months. I don't, and have never really cared about his media involvement. I actually think he does fine with the Sky SPFL Matters and in the newspaper column. The good thing about them is they will be able to rehearse and edit respectively. Because Sportsound goes out live he got caught out at times with some things to the point he was making a fool of himself. Perhaps I'm doing him a disservice, perhaps he recognised this himself and instigated his own removal. I'd think however it was probably SC that gave him advice about it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudgey1989 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I've noticed he isn't on sky as much either these days. Andy walker was on with Commons the other week on that SPFL matters show and recalled a couple of games that have been on live where he hasn't been there. Sure one of them was a match involving Aberdeen up there. Seems he's only doing it now when it suits him and Killie which is good. I've loved watching the big man the past few months, will be gutted when he hangs his boots up. Seen a comment previously saying he isn't a legend, what a pile of p1sh! Short memories considering the goal he scored against Hibs and all the other 20 or so he scored that season to single handedly keep us up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
