Boab 73 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 While he could learn a lot from the likes of Sutton, Hartson, Shearer in terms of being a frontman - I think that while he does get legitimate fouls given against him... There is not enough fouls given for/on him IMO and I'm not just meaning about today but today spurred me to say it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_RFC87 761 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Sometimes he goes down too easy but gets a free kick. I actually think he gets more fouls -that probably shouldn't be fouls- than he doesn't -that he should- get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gartcosh Bear 124 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I think Boydy is a bit hard done by. He's making an effort to win the ball and the refs are giving free-kicks against him time and again. Football is a contact sport to an extent.....just a pity the refs don't recognise that.

davy1shoe 63 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 There were a few very dodgy fouls against him in the first half that i thought were just two players standing up to each other waiting on a ball to come down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 As long as he sticks the ball in the back of the net and puts in a shift throughout the match I won't complain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkiebear 1,013 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This is something that has always annoyed me. Although sometimes boyd does go down easily and wins a free kick, most of the time he gets absolutely clattered and gets fuck all from the ref. There was an incident yesterday when one of the hamilton defenders pulled boyd in mid air then caught him with an elbow, and the free kick went against boyd.

MikeBlue 136 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 While I do think Boyd has had abut of a rough deal in the last couple of matches he doesn't help himself with the way he challenges for these balls. He doesn't make much of an effort to jump and tends to look as if he is playing the man rather or looking for a free kick. Oddly, he jumps much better in the penalty area when he thinks he can score. Needs to work on this aspect like he's done on some of the others Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briton 394 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Sometimes he goes down too easy but gets a free kick. I actually think he gets more fouls -that probably shouldn't be fouls- than he doesn't -that he should- get. I agree with that. Can't comment on yesterday's game but generally he gets plenty of free kicks where he hasn't been fouled. On balance though refs have always had a tendancy to give the 'six of one, half a dozen of the other' challenges against the forward player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy 68 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 He needs to stop being a pussy and start standing his ground and shoving defenders about the place. Nothing annoys me more than the constant claiming for fouls instead of challenging for the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youllneverwinaway 0 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I think he has made a rod for his own back wiith some of his antics of going down too easy. This will make refs think twice about giving him a foul. He also makes his fouls far too obvious. As much as it pains me to say it, Sutton and Larsson were far cleverer than Boyd when it came to winning fouls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Agreed Boab. He has to be a bit wiser when a defender comes through him, he really could get us a lot more fouls. Falls on his arse at the wrong times! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
