For some reason this reminded me of Suarez when he signed for Liverpool. The cunt used to get all sorts of abuse for being greedy  

I think I was one of they guys

Turns out the suarez boy can actually play a bit lol

Bill leckie in the sun slagging Rangers fans for praising morelos oh and morelos is a “diddy” could not make it up they are all spewing ?

thought Leckie was deid by now

[cr3_bear 14,830]

Couple of articles slaughtering Alfredo in the press just now. One even labels him a journeyman and the other a diddy. Unbelievable descriptions of a 21 year old who is currently leading the scoring charts in this league. If he was wearing a green and grey hooped top they would probably be touting him for 30 million. Fuck them, hopefully wee Morelos just keeps showing the same commitment as he has done and works a wee bit more on his compusure and rams their opinions down their throats.

Fs he's only outscored the world's best ever striker who was wanted by city, Chelsea, man u, Messi demanded him.at Barca or he was going to leave, bayern and Dortmund but is snubbing them for his dream move to errr Brighton/stoke.

He's a raw young boy with huge potential. Nearly every Rangers fan I know is screaming for a proper partner up top with him. He had they two retards that were trying to mark him all over the place on Saturday

Can you point us in the direction of said articles. I would love to read them for myself to get the context.

By Bill Leckie 

 

The striker wasted several opportunities to give his side the lead and the fact that Gers fans celebrated the draw like a league win sums up where they are as a club

ANY other day of the season, a big-money striker misses two sitters that glaring and the fans are calling for his head.

Yet somehow, amid the myopic madness of an Old Firm slugfest, Alfredo Morelos swaggered off the Parkhead turf with Rangers supporters hailing him a hero.

They chanted his name as he argued with the ref over a foul.

Stood and applauded him when he was subbed like he’d just rattled a hat-trick.

You know, rather than being the guy who had blown their chance of winning one of these games, just for once.

Seriously. No frontman will ever step on to two better crosses, in as much space, with the keeper so helpless and a massive derby hanging in the balance, only to fluff his lines both times.

The first chance he maybe gets the benefit of the doubt on, seeing as Craig Gordon instinctively shot out a leg, and deflected the downward header for a corner.

But even then, he could have picked his spot.

But as for the second?

Sorry, but the Colombian’s weedy waft of the napper at James Tavernier’s defence-splitting delivery pretty much summed up the rank-rotten quality of this whole messy affair.
Let’s not mince words here.

The fact Rangers and their 7,000-strong travelling support still ended up celebrating a win that got away as if they had just clinched the league pretty much sums up where both these clubs are right now.

celtic? They were roundly booed at the end of 90 turgid minutes.

By the time Brendan Rodgers led them on a leg-weary lap of honour, three sides of the stadium were already two-thirds empty.

The sense of anti- climax as a magnificent year ended in mediocrity was all-consuming.

Over to the right of the main stand, though? Party time.

A bouncing, bawling mass of defiance, the full get-it-up-ye bit, faces contorted as they stood on their seats, arms outstretched, or pushed up against the yellow line of cops and stewards to yell across no man’s land.

Quite how anyone could get that worked up about a football match this poor is beyond me.

But I suppose when you have been as far out of the picture as Rangers have for this long, and when you’ve become as accustomed to rolling teams over as celtic have, success and failure become relative concepts.

As ever, you watch and listen as it all unfolds — the venom, the hatred, the over-reaction to absolutely everything — and it’s weird to not give a monkey’s who wins.
It never has been and never will be a day for neutrals, for even-handedness, for logic.

The reaction of those Rangers fans to Morelos says it all.

It’s like they were saying ‘OK, so he might be a diddy, but he’s OUR diddy — and that’s what counts’!

Maybe when they went back to the pub or to their living rooms and watch the replays they will have cursed him.

But in the moment, it’s all so tribal out there, so ferociously Us and Them, that even the normally-unforgiveable is defended to the hilt.For me, that’s why this fixture never really improves as an actual football match.

But then again, when did that ever matter to any of them?It’s a fair bet plenty who were there would only really get an idea of what happened once they watched it back.At the time, it’s just a frenzy, a blur, and in this case, that lack of focus showed itself as much on the park as it did in the crowd.

They say it gets so loud out in the middle players can’t hear themselves think.

Which maybe explains why so much of what they did was so bloody brainless, a morass of misplaced passes and hoofed clearances.

celtic in particular seemed to be locked in some sort of sensory deprivation chamber where they couldn’t co-ordinate minds to feet, all their usual style and pace replaced by a tension, a lack of ideas.

A mental and physical numbness; their skins saved by Gordon’s stop from that first Morelos header and, before then, a flying tip-over to deny Tavernier’s volley.

celtic are more than overdue a lull after the exertions of that 69-game unbeaten domestic run, the thrill of clinching the Treble in the first season under Brendan Rodgers, and the graft of getting to and then trying to stay in the Champions League.

They have already played 38 games this season, 61 in the calendar year, and have looked for weeks like the winter break couldn’t come quick enough.

Yet they have still signed off with four clean sheets in the wake of THAT 4-0 humping from Hearts.

This was their eighth Old Firm game without defeat and it was only the second time since Rodgers arrived that they have failed to score in domestic competition.

Put that into perspective against the fact Rangers gave it everything they had yet still couldn’t get over the line and you know for sure whose shoes you’d rather be in.

Bill leckie is a fucking wombat

[cr3_bear 14,830]

Here is an actual title celebration at parkhead for leckies future reference

 

[dummiesoot 16,005]

What a bitter cunt leckie is. 

[DESGER 241]

Leg weary celtic? what A lot of shite! Look at the size of their squad compared to ours! Plus our captains missing two of our main centre mids injured and miller(Not that fussed about him but he does like a goal against the filth!!) Injured aswell. Then add in our problems at centre back I think our performance(2nd half was excellent). Anyway fuck the haters and I can't wait for the reaction when we eventually get our title back!!

[mearns loyal 2,714]

Leckie is as relevant as a plook on your arse...

[Robmc1 4,741]

I’ve been out of the loop since the 30th with work commitments and this is genuinely the first ‘press’ reaction I’ve read on what I thought was a hard fought and entertaining game, in which we had been pretty much written off in before a ball had been kicked. Genuinely astounded at Leckies ridiculous column in which he literally character assassinates a young talented player (Morelos) (‘our diddy’ wtf) who incidentally is leading the SPFL scoring charts. The lad did have guilt edge opportunities to score however the keeper had been well positioned for both and 9 times out of 10 both most likely would have found the back of the net. Is it wrong for the support to show their appreciation at his and the team in generals work rate and endeavour, absolutely not. I won’t even start about how he bangs on about the east end opponents are hard done by and allegedly tired by all their games to date etc, etc. In summary, poor column, poor ‘journalist’, poor ‘newspaper’ and poor underhand attempt to demean a club and support who over the past 5 years have relentlessly proved to be second to none.... (apologies for the length of post, needed said)...

[Oz 37]

Leckie uses this article to try and undermine the fans as much as he does Morelos. Leckie is so out of touch with reality and so wide of the mark its unbeleivable the editor allows this to go to print.

His articles are consistently laced with undertones of anti Rangers agenda. He  cant help himself and with his limited skills and lack of ability as a sports writer he cant disguise his personal hatred for us with his transparent spin on everything he writes.

Dont buy the rag that prints his rubbish. 

 

 

 

[hooooootchy 405]

Unbelievable article about a 21 year old . First season in the country , first Season at a massive club .First time away to them.   Top scorer in the league . Bullied the greatest team that's ever graced the earth and led the line alone at that age . Aye he missed a couple ( one was an excellent save too btw ) but thst happens . Picks up the typical celtic fan line that we all saw coming . That we're celebrating a draw like a win.  Too right I'll celebrate after the last few years. Bitter bitter bastard 

[TEFTONG 60,097]

Leckie has always been the cunts..cunt..and a shitebag..

[cr3_bear 14,830]

Wasn't even any over the top celebrations from our end. We stayed and clapped the players of the park and sang just like we did the previous 90 minutes. As it should be at that cesspit. Remind them their dream of killing us never became a reality and that we are still here.

[JograBear 1,074]

Press in Scotland is fucking shocking. 

Morelos must have them scared. He is going to be the next target for those wankers.

Thought morelos was quality. A 21 year old top scorer in Scotland misses a chance. Retards should go watch mccoist playing. The greatest goalscorer Scotland has seen. He missed chances too but morelos has much more to his game. 

[frommetoyou 60]

Sad bastard.

[Orange Persson 547]

If you watch football every week in the EPL, you will hear managers talk about missed chances and opportunity's. Every team, in every game.

That and defensive mistakes are and always will be, part of the game. 

[Camshy 812]

I dont understand why some have a go at Morelos, I think he does an excellent job. He is strong as an Ox and holds and links the play well. By far the best striker we have had for quite a while......only criticism I have is he can waste a few chances but I guess every player can do that. It doesnt stop him from having another go and he will only get better with age and if we manage to improve the quality of service to him.

I hope he is here for a number of years as he is one I rate highly.

100%

Best post of the year so far. 

[6superbarry6 14,159]

I do like Morelos but he could do with working on his finishing especially his heading ability,he's only 21 though so bags of potential and scope to improve there aren't many who are the finished article at 21

[MurrayWilson 3,381]

Leckie is a piss poor journalist who cries out for attention. This article was utter nonsense, similar to one on the clubs statement about Mcinnes not signing. He pointed out like a lot on here that the statement was ridiculous but he couldn't help mentioning Manchester and Barcelona riots, sectarian signing policies, songs he doesn't like etc etc for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Hes nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is either. For years he gobbed on about independence then in the run up to the referendum made out he would be voting no only for him to change his mind to yes at the last minute after a heart to heart with his oldest son. It was like the tit thought undecided voters would think"wow, leckies voting yes, maybe I should too"

[RFC55 108,863]

It's a bit of a fucking insult that article. The tarriers played a half strengthed bayern side lost the game but were lauded as the people's champions despite it being a wee bit embarassing. We go there in no sort of form against the greatest side to have played football anywhere 5 guaranteed starters missing and should've won in the end up but we got a wee bit of pride and belief back so applauded the team off to let them.know if they play like that every week but lack the quality to win we will still back them  

As Rangers fans we know this isn't a Rangers team but we just want to see heart and commitment. Was why the hibs away win was lauded. We went 1 down and showed character to turn it around and despite it not working for us that day we stood up.to.everything they could throw at us.

I can handle a lack of ability but not a lack of heart 

[Finny 5,483]

No mention of the continuous amount of games morelos has played by Mackie the bawbag. 21 year old, top goal scorer in the league and I think played most weeks since April without a break, out with his injury. Plenty more to come from the wee man once he recharges the batteries.
