I wish Boyd would take a look at the Beckham...he's­ seen it all and done it all...and even at this late­ stage in his career is still twice the player Boyd will­ ever be. Do you see Beckham complaining about sitting­ on the subs bench....no....he'd cut up the oranges­ if he thought it would do his country good. That is­ the attitude that is needed when playing for your­ country. Whether Burley's selection is good or bad­ is immaterial. He was contracted for the world cup by­ the powers that be and that's what he should be­ allowed to do. If he fails then that is the time to­ make a decision to replace him....but who with, God­ only knows. Until then we should support the team.

The problem with Boyd is he hasn't grown up yet. ­ Right now it's all Me Me Me. He's got a wee­ bit of talent and he thinks he's Ronaldo. By saying­ he is not willing to play for Scotland under this­ particular manager but willing to play at a later time­ really means he is hoping Scotland will fail. He­ should be shown the door and told..."sorry­ son...this is a man's game and we don't want­ weans"...and that's even if he was­ Ronaldo....which he is not by a long long way.

Everyone keeps pointing out that you are playing for­ your country and not the manager. WAKE UP PLEASE the­ guy aint playin at all that was his point. Burley­ clearly has or had no intention of playing Boyd despite­ his goal scoring record. If you are almost sure the guy­ will get you goals who cares how much work he does.­ Work rate alone will not get you goals just look at­ Kenny Miller works like hell but most of the time he­ couldnt hit a bull in the a**e with a spade.

kris boyd is a big spoiled boy and mark my words he­ wont be missed. put it this way mcleish signed him and­ kept him on the bench and the trend continues with­ walter smith and george burley. these three managers­ are not idiots so boyd must be doing something wrong,­ is it his attitude? is it his way of life? get a grip­ boyd you are no van basten and with all the coaching in­ the world you never will be. thanks for the memories­ loser, NOT L.O.L.

I can understand Kris Boyds frustration at not getting­ on atall during the game, with his scoring record but I­ cannot tolerate his attitude. Theres no need to turn­ his back on his country just because hes not getting a­ game. He should have stayed and proved, like he does­ week in week out for Rangers that he is an out and out­ goal scorer. Yes he may be a lazy sod but he scores the­ goals and afterall thats what he gets paid to do.

it is very bad attitude for a player irrespective of­ your status to quit playing for his/her country­ because the coach felt that other players are better­ than him. such attitude only show that the player do­ not respect his/her team mates, and the team as a­ whole. well, this can only happen in 'small'­ teams. can you imaging something like this in Brazil or­ Argentina, or Spain, where there many players waiting­ on the list and count it as a privilege to wear their­ national colour. in addition, i think it is­ responsible of the coach to choice his players and­ team, not a player or FA. most (if not all) of the­ time, coach are fire because the players failed to­ perform.

he scored a cracker against Partick Thistle not Real­ Madrid or Barcelona, maybe he was dreaming it was.

Boyd's got every right to be annoyed but his­ attitude is wrong. McFadden was played out of position­ and Maloney flatters to decieve. Only Brown and Gordon­ got pass marks.

Kris Boyd will now never be able to prove George Burley­ wrong. We all know that Kris Boyd can score goals as he­ is a natural goal scorer. It is just complete nonsense­ that the guy dosnt work in a game. I would go as far as­ to say that teams that are playing either against­ Scotland or Rangers must think. Great,Boyds on the­ bench again. Scotland is not good enough to leave­ someone like Boyd on the bench. George Burley did not­ make the correct selection in Iwelumo over Boyd in such­ a crucial game. But i do still rate George Burley. I­ also think that George Burley and Kris Boyd should sort­ this out now, man to man. Lets get the toys back in the­ pram. A footballers career is far to short so lets see­ this sorted out Kris?? A good few players did,nt step­ up to the mark on Saturday. As usual its the people­ paying to watch that suffers. The people with not a lot­ of money still going to games, watching a half hearted­ effort. And yes thats all it was. I will need to stop­ now as i am getting angry.

No player is ever bigger than his country or its­ manager, would Boyd have reacted like that if Sir Alex­ Ferguson was in charge? I think not.

kris boyd should grow up and stopped acting like a­ chimp that has had his banana taken away and realise­ just how forntunate a situation he is in, he should­ never play for scotland again and should be shunned for­ this tantrum he will be no great loss plenty more would­ love to be in his shoes.

any Scot who pulls on that jersey should always­ remember, your not playing for the manager, your­ playing for Scotland.

whether you agree or not with George Burley is­ irrelevant, he is the Scotland manager, and i think­ it's time for the SFA and future Scotland managers­ to never again consider anyone who turns their back on­ their country, im sick of these people, and have been­ for twenty years, it never happened in my fathers day,­ Chris Boyd should never ever play for Scotland again, i­ cant believe he thinks so highly of himself, maybe him­ and Jayne Goody should get together and discuss their­ plans for a joint public funeral.

This whole issue smacks of "dummies and­ prams". Kris Boyd needs to grow up. The Scotland­ Squad cetainly DOES NOT NEED players who walk away in­ the huff. If they are committed,loyal Scots they will­ play regardless and take pride in wearing the­ jersey!
Managers have to make decisions - thats their­ job. A players job is to get on with it. With regard to­ Mr Burley, I hope he is a loyal scot unlike Mcleish and­ Smith and McCoist who happily turned their backs on­ their country when it suited them!!

Disgraceful attitude, its a good job scotland dont have­ people like boyd in the british army. Walking out on ur­ country is pathetic.

If for a moment you could park your rabid anti-Rangers­ ranting lets look at the facts. 0-0 against Norway with­ half an hour to go in a must win game there is only one­ logical choice to bring on. The man who rescued so many­ similar situations before. Kris Boyd goals per game­ ratio, even as sub, is outstanding. Does anybody really­ think that Boyd would have missed the 2 major chances­ on Saturday. Of course not..So when you calm down a wee­ bit...this ridiculous decision means we only get to­ watch England in the next World Cup...again. Boydie is­ right not to play for Burley - still wont be long till­ he is back in a Scotland shirt.

The simple truth is Kris Boyd (and I have not forgiven­ him for leaving Killie) is the best we currently have. ­ Seven goals in Fifteen games is the best strike rate we­ have seen for a Scotland team in years. So what if he­ acts a little spoilt? Who the hell is Chris Iwelumu­ and what WORLD CUP qualifier experience does he have? ­ Burley has no real achievement in management and has to­ take all the blame for our non-qualification, which­ will be the end result if he stays in charge. Kris is­ highlighting the absence of common sense, albeit­ churlishly. It is time for Burley to realise he is not­ the man for the job. George, please do the honourable­ thing and leave now and let the new guy play our BEST­ striker!!!

Burley is fairly new to the post yet Boyd is upset at 6­ games on the nech. cry baby

I THINK BOYD IS ACTING LIKE AN OVER RATED BUT AVERAGE­ STRIKER AND SHOULD GIVE UP INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL FOR­ THE RIGHT REASONS - THE FACT HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!.BUT­ AS FOR BURLEY HOW CAN YOU GIVE A MANAGER A CHANCE WHEN­ HE PLAYS NEGATIVE TACTICS AT HOME LIKE PLAYING ONE UP­ FRONT. GET A GRIP!

the point is that he sacrifised a win by playing two­ inconsistent forwards also was maloney under orders as­ the amount of pitch in front of him was massive but he­ never ran into the space
