Press Conference : Gerrard and Jack

No, thank you.

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,123]

Am not really bothered with anything he says TBH, leagues over.

[Essandoh 21,195]

Looks and sounds rattled

[Inigo 32,526]

Sounds down, angry and frustrated. Rattled is a complete exaggeration. Run of the mill conference, couldn't really have said much else but will likely be interpreted overly negatively by us because of the result.

[bluenoz 30,691]

Even the journalists aren't allowed to ask about controversial decisions.

[Smile 26,600]

Gerrard bit a wee bit at the criticism he's said to the players handled it well though and put the journalist in his place.

[kelvd1873 7,137]

Absolutely no mention of the poor refereeing we’ve suffered in the last few games from the media.....

[Sparkle 53,530]

Empty words until they can follow it up with their actions

Probably a wrong choice of word rather than a complete exaggeration.

Mental. 

Wonder what the fucks going on to be honest. Gerrard is obviously trying to lessen the pressure on them, while the filth ramp it up. And there’s only one winning right now. 

[graeme_4 34,377]

Gerrard looks rattled, lost and doesn’t really come across as convincing in what he’s saying anymore. 

First time I’ve really felt that about him. 

[born a blue nose 90,722]

The first press conference of the season I’ll be wide berthing, as said empty words.

He does as he knows he's under real pressure now, how he handles the rest of the season will decide if he has what it takes to manage us.

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

He looks fizzy mad and I think a few of that squad got told some very uncomfortable home truths on Wednesday night. 
He mentions the goal from Buff that got chopped off but didn’t back it up by going on to say decisions like that are happening far too often and something has to be done. 
Of course the Fenian press aren’t going to force him on that because that would mean they would have to talk about the elephant in the room.

Excellent.

 

when do we pick up the trophy for putting journalist in their place?

[Goianegra 4,680]

Might as well shut down the forum until June. Any half positive post is shut down with "aye but we're shit."

[andyhrfc 2,242]

Don’t think he can win whatever he says with some.   But he won’t be arsed about winning over some doubters on here,  he will be arsed  about winning well tomorrow and building for Braga.

We need to have a pro Rangers reporter in there to ask the questions about the officiating.  Oh wait! There are none. 

[steven33jackie 1,917]

He consistently makes a point of not aiming criticism directly at the standards of refereeing. He did mention the fact that Alfredo had a perfectly good goal disallowed, so indirect criticism at best. 

If he were suddenly  come out now and have a go at refereeing standards he would get slaughtered in the media as it would come across as deflecting from below par performances.

Any criticism of refereeing will have to come from the board or one of Jim Traynors pals.

Maybe one of those bloggers that keep asking for a pass, maybe that’s why the club don’t want them in because they will ask the questions we want asked.

Falling into the Fenian media trap.

Watching that I felt Gerrard was honest within the bounds of his remit to fans, What I felt he wanted to say is that the SPFL has a problem with refs not following the rule book.

It's called debate mate, l try to remain positive but even l have my limits and yes we have been shit lately.

Why?

He should be able to criticise officiating without being prompted!

Criticising refs now looks like sour grapes and a deflection tactic.

It should’ve been done after Parkhead or Hibs last week or any other game.
