chris182 6,310 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I wouldn’t have signed him, we can well do without the bad press. Got to have faith in SG though, if he thinks he’s worth the hassle then fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The holier than thou patter from some is cringeworthy. How can beating up your burd then booting her while on the deck be described as Holier than now?

Just being sensible. Brings backlash on the club. He’ll be getting the Adam Johnson / Ched Evans treatment up here. There's plenty moral crusaders. Hypocrisy that they also appear to want a person who has apologised and accepted guilt whilst being punished and rehabilitated to continue being punished.. He's proven himself once to be international level which I think is pretty noticeable in a footballer. His best years could well be ahead of him, especially if he knuckles down (no pun). The day we accept morality lessons of the press or filth is the day hell freezes over for me. I'll give him a chance, and watch in shame as other bears act in the same manner as the scum do to one of our players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,300 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I can't say I am a fan of this signing based on the baggage he comes with. We can only trust Gerrard's judgment on this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is we didn't sign Gazza knowing he beat up women which has been said many times. I'm sure no one defends him on the issue of beating his wife.

Exactly so both incidents are awful things to do, but I have never in all my time heard Gazza’s status be questioned because of those actions. Complete double standards.

It was interesting to see this quote about him from the great Cafu (the real one)........Flanagan has earned numerous plaudits for his style of play since his breakthrough into the Liverpool first team in November 2013; most notably, the World Cup-winning former Brazil captain and full back Cafu heralded Flanagan as his "successor", applauding his "speed, strength and determination" and stating he "has everything required to be one of the best full-backs in the world". This has led to fans dubbing Flanagan as "the Scouse Cafu". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdave30 8,715 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 A lot of people did say we needed to bring some fighting spirit to the team. It looks like Jon is a great believer in equal rights....and lefts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said Flanagan could go on and earn legendary status I will back him as he plays for us and I want us to win every competition we enter but I feel he's a poor choice. I hope he proves me wrong.

DeanMK 4,670 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Potentially a good signing on a free if he can rediscover his form from a few years ago. Made a mistake in life. So what? The way people are going on you'd think we were signing Oscar Pistorius. Don't remember this many people being up in arms when we signed Joey Barton who literally served jail time for assault.
