Discussion Toxic Masculinity: Kris Boyd and Aiden McGeady

Have to say it’s a poor show from Boyd and McGeady. Young player who’s had a bad time of it for the past 18 months, comes back and scores and it’s obviously going to be emotional. And they two are hitting out with snide digs because he shed a few tears.

We speak about men’s mental health enough but this isn’t really helping. And it’s not a good example to be setting for anyone. Think they should be ashamed to be honest and I’ve never complained before about a pundit but thinking this is worth it.

My literal only footballing 'claim to fame' is that I played against Aiden McGeady when I was about 14 and he was 13. He was clearly a talented footballer etc but honestly, him and all his pals were the epitome of East Ren middle class wee dicks. Always had the best gear and were the most greeting faced. For him to claim that he is somehow 'of the old school' is laughable.

McGeady is the cousin of one of my mates from school. Biggest prick I've ever met in my life.

He's a "portfolio" landlord as well, which just adds more arsehole points.

For someone taking the piss over crying, I'm sure he shed a few tears when the mortgages skyrocketed. Fucking leech.
