Kris Boyd has launched a predictable rant about Celtic’s Champions League record including a call out for ‘some of the cheerleaders’. Curiously Boyd avoids naming any cheerleaders.
Nobody is more clued up on Celtic’s grim Champions League record than hoops fans but they are the only Scottish clubs to win any group stage matches in the last decade.
While Boyd sounds off he should apply some context and recognise that he is discussing the Scottish champions from 11 of the last 12 seasons. Every other Scottish club has an inferior record to Celtic.
Writing in The Sun Boyd doesn’t hold back:
Atletico are a good European side and have some world-class talents in their team. But they are not the absolute elite. There is not a chance they’ll win the Champions League.
But Celtic still folded and fair play to Alistair Johnston for admitting it was “unacceptable”.
Some of the cheerleaders out there should pay attention to that as I’ve heard a lot of nonsense about Celtic’s Champions League displays in the last two seasons.
I’m told Ange Postecoglou and Rodgers played attacking football because it’s “the Celtic way”. Sorry, the Celtic way in the Champions League these days is to LOSE.
Then there is Rodgers and his own Champions League record with Celtic. One win in 16 games — against Anderlecht away in 2017.
Of those 75 goals conceded since 2013, 46 have been on his watch. It begs the question: Is he just a flat-track bully in Scottish football?
Rodgers is no bully but in his time in Scotland he has saw off the heralded challenges of Mark Warburton, Pedro Caixinha, Graeme Murty and Micky Beale from across the city.
During his long career Boyd never once scored in the Champions League, when it came to the biggest matches Walter Smith tended to leave the leading SPL scorer of all time on the bench at best, saving his talents for facing teams like St Mirren, Motherwell, St Johnstone and Hamilton Accies.
Boyd scored one career goal against Celtic, in a dead-rubber Glasgow derby in April 2007.
Brendan Rodgers is no
“Flat Track Bully”
because when he goes to Ibrokes, he usually wins!
I wonder what odds Boydy would give to back up his assertion that
“There Is Not A Chance They’ll (Athletico) Win The Champions League”
presumably this season?!
And how did yous do.in champs league thick.cunt u.neber even got there at takes our bank up 2 more that 100 mill how much.has sevco got boyd ur so thick.why not call out man u.bottom there group.and if sold o rilly.b.130 mill.and hatate n summer another 30 mill not mention kyogo.who.hell have yous got in ur squad with sell.on value no.cunt not.1 player worth a balloon.false teeth boyd stop.chattering shite.go get brasso polish.petrol can
I have zero interest in winning the Balance Sheet Cup. We will never move forward when we have fans who see this as some sort of an achievement.
If you are wondering who Boyd is referring to when he mentions “cheerleaders”, have a look in the mirror.
That’s plenty Chris. Have a wee seat there keep ur brain warm.
Sir Walter played 36 champions league games and only won six.Remind monster munch of that.
A deliberate attempt to get Brendan to ditch Celtic – And one that won’t work despite his desperation…
Brendan is no bully Kris – He is a professional gentleman – The polar opposite of you matey –
I’ll tell you who are bullies – They’re all connected with Rangers (deceased c.2012) and Sevco (D.O.B. 29/7/2012)…
From ma time as a football fan – Gregor Stevens – Hurlock – Souness – Craig Moore – Hateley – Rae – Roofe –
And what about yourself Boyd – What caused your brother to Harry Carry himself at the age of 27 – Eh ?
You of all ‘peepil’ should watch your gob about anything to do with bullying Sir !!!
Kris Boyd….
??
Who cares….honestly..??.
Boyds a cheerleader fir any team that plays Celtic he might have played for rangers pre liqudation and sevco after 2012 but he played for kilmarnock he will have big regrets of what he might of achieved if he lived the professional athlete life instead of lumping at his lightess nearly a 10 lbs or more overweight so for him to talk of or say any team is embarrasing he cant when he was say stone or more ovewieght like his playing days he is so unprofessional a…e hole jelousy is spewing out of him likr playing days taking the money and not upto scoring against top teams luckyto get half the goals now var inplay var still favours certain club
Even he cant deny the dicsions against celtic by var last week scales goal nothing wrong even in replay ref cant admit he was wrong to be conned by an old pro briwns was a straight red card he was standing right there now Celtic has old nemisis that gave more penalties against Celtic than most refs he slows game down no advatage not slow with yellow cards for Celtic players allows time waisting if thats not bad we have andrew the sash my father wore dallas on var checks every challenge in Celtic Area if Celtic score dallas has check before allowing it last week oh jersey pull tv showed us penalty given for same challenge difrence goldstone threw himself to ground oh even though run checked by the pull styed on feet scales is right it dosent help if you dont go down dramaticle please hghlight thees biased officails
Boyd is 100% right he can spot a cheerleader from 100 paces as he shaves one every bloody morning…..clown…..as for VAR TECHNOLOGY when are club’s who pay for it… going to tell the truth…it’s used to “cheat” and to benefit one team deliberately “the rangers” …..CELTIC have 2 players jerseys pulled in the box NOTHING GIVEN the rangers have a players jersey pulled back he falls forward “no stimulation” penalty given …..I could mention dozens other “honest mistakes”
wtf does flat track bully even mean, is it worse than an ordinary bully?
