short term loan, any truth in it? I'd say no

Wouldn't be missed.

We're getting Tevez on loan whilst he's with you too!

you probably wouldn't want him

I've heard he's homesick, looks like he comes from the planet of the apes so should fit in well with you lot

I don't know much about him apart from he's a poolie, shagged a gangster's bird or daughter and got run bollock naked out of town first time around, on the pitch isn't he 10% brilliance 90% enigma? I doubt the killing fields of league 5 would suit him somehow

at his best he is a brilliant, intelligent footballer who can honestly leave you breathless at times with his sublime skill.

That was in 2004......

now he's a fat, lazy, alchoholic, with a gambling problem if you believe the rumours.

Nah seriously, in the conference should rip teams apart if he sorts his attitude out.

He is one of the most skillful players ever to pull on the Pools shirt. The trouble is that his private life is allegedly a disaster zone. Personally I think it would be a good move for Darlo, Boydy and Pools. A look at the future might wake him up as it did once before.

Send him to us as a punishment eh? sort yourself out or we'll make it permanent lol I'll believe it when I see it but stranger thing have happened.

Would only be a good thing all round.

Brilliant player on his day - a loan to Darlo could get him fired up...

I don't think the bone infection helped either.....

Agree with chip. Maybe Boyds style just doest suit the way we are now playing. He isnt fit but even if he was was he fit in?

Question though.

Should any self respecting poolie really think its " a good move all round" if one of our players actually helps Darlo?

I am of the opinion that we should be laughing at Darlo, and hoping they rot. Not helping them. I would rather keep Boyd than let him help Dralo gain even one point.

I agree, but if they pay his wages then it free's wages up for us to get someone in.

Darlo have a couple of reasonable players. Hatch is half decent and that Hone is a good Conference player...

Both gone as you know mr elvis ..Don't get too attached to Mr Kean either..

Eh???

If Boydy does end up playing in the jumpers for goalposts league at Darlo he should wake up and have a a good look a himself.

It would be a real sad indictment of how much he's wasted his talent.

I know he's not been the best since he returned to the club but it's worth pointing out that much is the above is utter garbage. 'Gangsters' bird or daughter 'Alcoholic'

He's lacks desire on a football field, apart from that he's a very decent normal 28 year old lad with a young family.

Where do people get this idea he is a Alcoholic and big time gambler from

I dont go out drinking down the town much but when i have ive never seen him out drunk as a lord, he might sit down the marina in the summer and have a few but not to the point where he is rolling around.

I've seen him in the bookies a quite a lot but he is probably just the same as me and bored and had a walk in there to kill a bit of time. I don't see him lashing £100's on bets, and what he does with his money is his bussiness its not like he spends it on flash cars

Thats a ridiculous statement. The vast majority of Darloids are supporters of a traditionally unsuccessful lower league team from the North East of England - much like us. Apart from the last ten years they are Pools in a slightly different geographical location and a different colour.

I'd prefer one Darlington supporter to 100 Premier League bandwagon dwellers every time.

Rivalry is on thing but to hope to see them go to the wall is plain stupidity.

He's a prick. FACT

League 5?!

That's a new way of dressing up pub football!

Show a little respect to league- 6 Vauxhall motors mr ripper...

PJ was spot on above, he's just a normal lad who is having trouble on the pitch. The injury, the fact he was told to play on and stop faking by Martin Scott and the subsequent infection he got have turned him into an entirely different player. He's still very good as we found out in the home game against Southend last season. Shit managers like Scott and Turner are the real reason his confidence is shot.

Sadly I think it's going to be hard for him to get game time before the end of the season. It's worrying that he's not even getting a chance off the bench when plums like Larkin and Bjornsson are though.


As for going to Darlo?

Is that not exactly the point? Going to Darlo allows him to get those games and regain his fitness. I hope it happens and we get the Boydy back that we got from Boston.

I'd love for that to happen to be honest, I was laughing more because I can't see him entertaining the place.

For that season and a bit he was the best player we've ever had, it makes me sad that certain factors fooked it up for him

Heard Boyd was one of the top earners at the club £4.000 a week thanks to tubby ferkin Turner.
He's not having any of it he's staying put. I also have been told he's on a4 year deal with the club. Give me kevin kyle any day before Boyd we only piad £3.000 a week for him no fancy daft flicks or turns just effort and goals

Boyd was obviously re-signed based on his performances from his previous time with us.
On that basis, and the fact he's a Hartlepool lad (so should have the passion for the club and the will to win) he was worth the 4 grand a week............ Providing he gave us what he gave the last time.
Unfortunately he's turned into a lazy waste of a shirt and we do need to send him out on loan.
Not sure about sending him up the road though. He might get a bit of a hard time from the Darlo faithfull and that might have a negative impact on his game there. But then again, can they afford to be fussy?!

On the other hand, he's already been sent away once and come back a better player, there's no saying he's going to come back better again as he wasn't this bone idol before he was loaned out last time.

At the end of the day I trust Mr Wadsworths judgement so whatever he does i'd be happy with.

4 grand a week?!

He's not even the best paid player on the subs bench, never mind at the club!!!

Does anyone know how much the highest earner is on per week at Pools?

bjornsson is pools' highest earner.

that is all

You see you have answered that question all wrong.
I wasn't asking who the highest earner was, simply how much the highest earner was being paid. No names needed to be mentioned.

I hope boyd doesnt go anywhere he s an awesome player who just needs a chance look at how many times he s helped us out. pools wouldn't be the same without him and if he was to leave i would certainly hope not to go to darlo scum

Yeah but the club isnt technically paying him.

Regarding Boyd being on 4k a week..... im presuming with the cost of living being more in London etc that when he went to Orient he will have been paid more than he was here?

4K my arse, have you seen the car he drives?

1600 ritchie humps is highest, I know this to be truish

If Mick has any sense he'll put all our "forwards " out on loan cos they're of fook all use to us.
None of them are currently good enough for Div 3.

How many goals have they scored between them all season?

I'm afraid it says it all as to what Mick probably thinks of Boydy; putting Larrikin on today instead of him.

Each of those forwards you describe as fook all use to us, have played a big part in where we are tonight. Fact is we could do with a 20 goal forward(which team couldn't) but we got 4 goals today because we have a team that plays for each other.Only 6 times out 20 league games have we failed to score.

Now we may need a forward but to say that all of our forwards are no fook use is a slight exaggeration. Maybe we should loan Brown out to one of our rivals.

8 years too late unfortunatley!!!!

Right, where in my statement did I say i wanted them to go to the wall? Just for clarity.

I want Pools to keep going the way we are, and I am dreaming of one season in the championship, hopefully a division ahead of Borer. I want Darlow to rot in the lower non leagues. Its quite simple, I want Pools to get equal billing with Borer on local radio, not have the traditional equal billing with darlow. You can stick your old traditions where the sun dont shine.

If you want to have the derby days with darlow you must want them to be as high as us, which IS ridiculous thing for a poolie to want, surely?

It is now 2011..therefore it is now a full Decade since Darlington beat Hartlepool in any fixture at 1st Team level.
