You get the sense he dismisses it altogether though. Probably on the basis Shanks/Jock Stein didn't need this nampy pamby bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdansmith 3259 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Souness has ruled himself out of the Rangers job, he said his personality doesn't suit modern day football, yeah ! I agree with him and the fact that he is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was delighted when he was shown the door. The only time I didn't show any emotion at a Newcastle goal, was when Lee Clark put a last minute equaliser against Boro giving that twat another week. That was weird like. Don’t think I’ve ever had such mixed emotions over a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but it's not as binary as he makes out. The managers who use analysts and go into the minutiae of everything aren't ignoring the importance of hard work, personalities, and so on. Souness' issue is that he doesn't get it. He talks about Gross not providing many assists, but how many assists has Shelvey this year? He's vital to our side, how we attack and so on. It's myopic to disregard him. Also, if Ritchie is putting 18 great crosses a game, but Joselu can't hit the back of the net, it's daft to gauge Ritchie's competence by the number of assists. The man is a dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 This assist carry on is total bollocks.You could go past six players,thread a thirty yard pass through the eye of a needle to a player who squares the ball five yards for a tap in and you don't get the assist.

Isegrim 9761 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I may also add that as much as we take this piss out of CT for getting things wrong it has to be remembered that Gemmill was happy when we did appoint Souness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1333 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I'm not having that "typical Jock" comment I noticed somewhere earlier in this thread. He's a tory cunt and a total embarrassment to Scotland since he stopped playing and started talking. If he wasn't such a colossal bellend I'd at least give him credit for signing Mo Johnston at Rangers but its clear now it was never about breaking down barriers or bridging divides and all about his ego. Just a flaccid cock trying too hard to prove it still has some balls. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
