Bears r us 30,770 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 5 minutes ago, rfc_watp said: Definitely mate and I'm sure Boydy would have been delighted with the gesture. I left straight away at the final whistle so didn't see it, but I can believe that and it's great to see. Boydys recent outspoken criticism of Joey Barton and all that carry on shows he cares for the club and our fans. He was speaking not only as an ex player and pundit, he was speaking from the heart imo. I am sure he would have been delighted mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally thought most people would be clapping as a show of support after the tragic events with his Brother. Some things are bigger than football and a show of unity with our top goalscorer in recent memory, in times of hardship definitely qualifies as that. That's exactly why I clapped.

cr3_bear 14,805 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 There was a bit on the rangers snapchat of him blethering away and shaking hands with Kenny Miller and lee Wallace in the tunnel before the teams lined up to come out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same applause if we were down 2-0? or if he scored against us? Not on yer life! I thought it was more to do with his brothers passing and them doing the hanging dummies on old firm day. A great touch of support by us. Dint think it had a great deal to do with him being a player for us as hes played against us since he left and not had that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player who cant maintain a good level of fitness playing for the team he supports tells me more about him than any sound bite coming out his mouth. Have a think compared to our other Hero strikers how many really important goals did he score compared to them e.g. only goal in a 1-0 against them/winning goals in cup finals/goals in Europe. Sums it up for me really... Didn't cheer when he came on and still don't understand why people did! You get 3 points for a win against every team in the league. Boyd scored countless goals against every team in the league and would often be the guy when we were away to Falkirk etc who would score the goal that gave us a 1 0 win in a pishy game. Kris Boyd scored many important goals for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayboleLoyal_atb 3,677 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 A like Boyd. Met him a couple of times in and around Ayr and always would have a wee chat. Glad he got a good reception although if we were drawing it loseing s doubt t would have been the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bankroll 21 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Nothing but respect for Boydy, made lots of good memories with his goals and always carried himself with class Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spliffy 643 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'm sure the stat is that every game Boyd scored in we won, except for the cup game where Durrant was caretaker when we were 3-0 down at HT and Boyd came on, scored twice and we lost 3-2. Only counting the first time round of course. And as said above, in so many turgid 1-0 wins it was Boyd who was the difference. For me he is undoubtedly a Rangers hero, all things taken into consideration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Fuck sake a guy who scored 100+ goals for us gets a wee clap, yet some folk still find something to moan about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross-Gazza genius 1,902 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The guy scored over 100 goals, gave his all when he was here (even if his 2nd stint was poor), talks about us in a good light and has had a tough time of it recently.........yet some can't grant him the appreciation he deserves!!! I was more than happy to cheer and clap him when he came on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,241 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 He is one of us and deserves our respect IMO, like him or not. We have a history of treating returning players with respect. Personally I think he was a massive waste of talent. If any of us had a chance to play for Rangers we would be as fit as we possibly could, we would work as hard as our bodies would physically allow and our attitude would be exemplary in every game. For as many goals as he scored, he didn't really fulfil any of those for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
