  1. Seems a strange one, thought she came across well in her interviewing the manager and players. In this closed stadium era online content is more valuable to the fans and we are reducing numbers in this area? Would have preferred we didn’t blow a huge sum on a tunnel refurb that wasn’t required and keep loyal decent staff at the club.

  2. Dermot Gallagher was badly exposed, thought Edwards was a yellow offence at worse. He explained Edwards initially won the ball, and the follow through caught Morelos, but it was not malicious. When confronted with comments he made three seasons past for Ryan Jack’s red card on Stevie May ie (yes, Jack won the ball but his follow through was malicious, therefore the ref’ was correct to issue a red), Dermot declined to comment further. The point being, Clancy did not even blow up for a foul, let alone issue a card of any shade. The game was re-started on a drop ball.

  3. I'll guarantee there's not a single white footballer taking the knee because he believes it's the right thing to do but every one of them will say it is. Similarly, I firmly believe most black players take a knee because it's much too dangerous to jump off a moving bandwagon. It's shite, they just look like morons and no one believes it's about social justice.

  4. I remember @Billand @bmckamongst others working hard on this and being particularly generous in securing the message. Amazing that ten years down the line, one battle has been won!

  6. The Compliance Officer, Claire Whyte does what Peter tells her. Sellik TV’s, Michael Stewart says what Peter tells him. On Saturday at Ibrox, Dundee United’s, Ryan Edwards went into a challenge with Morelos, a straight leg above the knee, a flat boot impact leaving a puncture wound the size of a ten pence coin. The Referee, Kevin Clancy did not award a foul, only blew his whistle after Morelos collapsed in distress. The Colombian was stretchered off the pitch and Clancy re-started with a drop ball. After match comments by Gerrard inquired if Morelos had made a similar challenge, would the referee have issued a red card? BBC Scotland’s Sportscene broadcast on Saturday evening, hosted by Dandy Don, Jonathon Sutherland, and comment provided by Sellik TV’s, Michael Stewart and formerScots international, Chris Iwelumo. After highlights of the game at Ibrox, Sutherland brings the discussion around to the unpunished high tackle by Edwards. Sellik TV’s faithful shill begins, “ah’ve looked at it so many times, sometimes I think it’s not malicious, other times I think Edwards is fortunate, very fortunate. If the referee gets a clear look at it, but he’s blinded by Butcher and Roofe”. The Presenter adds, “Steven Gerrard is quoted as saying he would be very interested in the official’s decision if the shoe had been on the other foot”? Michael Stewart waves his hands dismissively and snarls, “Jonathon, honestly I am sick of it, sick and tired of comments like that to be perfectly honest. You know, look Rangers as a club have come out on a number of occasions saying they cannot defend Morelos, so you can’t always be the victim whilst saying you cannot defend him anymore. Enough of this, we have seen on a number of times where Morelos has got off with things, other times he hasn’t, just let it go,it was a bad tackle”. Born and bred Coatbridge Sellik man, Chris Iwelumo then has his say, “for me, it’s a red card. It’s taken a couple of looks, it’s a wreck less challenge”. Then, Iwelumo turns to Mikes and pointedly delivers, “On the back of that tackle, a manager has got to come out and protect his players, he has to come out if Morelos is being victimised. For me, it’s shocking”. Stewart’s face was a picture, looking off into mid distance with his hands crossed. On Sunday’s Sportsound, Jane Lewis interviewed Neil McCann and attempted twice to draw him on Michael Stewart’s comments. Neil refused to be drawn, but was in no doubt the tackle was a red card and wondered why Compliance Officer intervention was not being mentioned? I wonder if Stewart is beginning to isolate himself with some at PQ towers?

  7. It’s actually been very funny listening to the usual useful idiots trying to argue their points despite doing a 180degree on this tackle compared to their reaction to Ryan Jacks .Funny but quite sad at the same time .

  8. Given SG's comments about being the other way round, I would doubt he's thinking about himself but the club can still make some sort of statement. Even sportscene suggested it should be read.

  10. The time to react was over a year ago. We'll just do what we normally do and meekly accept it. The manager doesn't want to rock the boat too much due to the risk of damaging "Brand Gerrard" and the directors don't seem to be too keen on doing anything either.

  11. Aye, you could be right. It would be a vote winner, giving tax breaks to millionaire footballers. I'll be surprised if it didn't feature on Labours next manifesto.

  13. I would make it compulsory and give tax breaks to people who take the knee. Virtuous and better off for expressing eympathy. I think its a vote winner.

  14. By the way the media have been going since Sunday it might be Mourinho who has already started calling out certain players. He always ends up doing this but not usually after game no1.

  15. Replacing Pochettino with Mourinho was a step backward. A concession that ‘Spurs would never win the league but would settle for staying in the top eight.
