harry handsome 629 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 If Steven Gerrard had any doubts about how Rangers and those connected with the club are viewed by the press in this country he need only look at the drivel coming out of the various idiots that masquerade as credible reporters. The lack of one word that SG used in his after match interview "today" seems to have gone amiss in the scramble to have a dig at the man, they want him to be magnanimous in defeat and be a gentleman, would they ??? . Another reporter today cited the difference in how Neil McCann dealt with his defeat at the hands of St Mirren as opposed to SG - nice one, good on Neil, lovely guy and think very highly of him but he isn't managing Rangers. Chris Sutton has a go as well, hypocrite of the highest order given his infamous meltdown in which he called the opposition cheats at the end of the 2003 season, also as failed football manager and elective bankrupt does he really have the moral fortitude to say his bit..... So Stevie Gerard i hope you understand exactly what the story is now and refuse to bend for these rats in any way, if you stay strong you will beat every single last one of them when you win the league for Rangers. Lets Go 55. jbm26896, terry739 and To Be A Ranger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 12,849 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Was exactly the same on talksport yesterday- it was only Danny Murphy who pulled up the rest and pointed out that they were ignoring 'today'. None of them had actually seen the game but had 'read about it'. Misteral 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2018 Welcome to the hatefest shithole that is Scotland Stevie. You have to wonder what Macca says when trying to explain to Stevie the irrational hatred for a football club and it’s support.

Popular Post WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2018 Convenient to forget some of McCanns indiscretions last season in particular the situation with St.Johnstone. I have found it quite cringey to see the likes of Steven Thompson and Billy Dodds call Gerrard things like naive when in fact he's spent his entire career under the microscope. It's very predictable the media reaction and one I'm sure SG will be less than bothered about. terry739, dougie76, Bearsden bear and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 However, former Hearts captain Michael Stewart echoed Miller's sentiments. "To suggest that Scottish football is always about Rangers and celtic, all the teams are going to be trying to catch Rangers - that's a short sighted view to take on the game of football in Scotland," said Stewart. "When you look at the fact that Rangers in the top flight have never finished second, I think it's slightly disrespectful to the teams, for example Aberdeen, who have been strong for a number of years. "You've got a top six who are going to be very competitive." The irony of disrespect is lost on poor Michael. Another wanker who I cant wait to see spewing every week.

I noticed the bit you highlighted when I read that article in the bbc. They can't help doing it, pandering to a certain mob. they are doing the usual association thing. An ex player comes out and offers his personal opinion, and they are trying to say that opinion is the same as the club. Nobody within Rangers has disrespected any opposition,quite the opposite in fact. Geo17, Gandalf the Blue, BridgeIsBlue and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is merely shining the light on the refs and & ensuring that they know they will be called out for every indiscretion they make against us. Eventually we will get to a place where the refs will treat us the same way as they treat others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wire 242 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Looking forward to this week's presser. He's been excellent at dealing with the press so far. It will be interesting to see how he deals with the shit stirring now that's got going. Early days but I think he's a really strong character and this isn't likely to phase him. In fact, the way he's talked about enjoying pressure all his career I think he's probably enjoying it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I knew this would happen when sg said we were a class above the sheep that somehow the word today would be forgotten what a shower of cunts. Personally I'm loving the fact it annoyed so many people and the fact we will get stronger and stronger start putting all these no Mark teams in their place. They are all terrified that we at last have a management team who are building a team to get the better of their beloved tarrier mates. This is going to be some season fuck them all.

Billy1984 6,314 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Tbh I think it could work in our favour as I think gerrard will be using it as motivation for both him and the players. The whole country is against us more than ever before and 55 will surely be our sweetest title ever when it comes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davger 52 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I was just reading Gordon parks there and he holds up Mcann as an example on how to take poor decisions . Now I like Mcann but after last season you’d be pushed to call him the dignified silent type. Such a poor journalist.

californiadreamin52 339 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I am aware we were not defeated but as the saying goes show me a good looser and I’ll show you a looser. I agree with the fact that SG has such a high profile world wide it can only expose this little kabal of shit reporters,, referees, and legislators and shake the hole mess up which should see a better product of football in Scotland.
