Steven Gerard - Hibs context

[h18eeynick]

Taken from BBC Scotland match report after Blackburn Rovers draw today. Not sure what way to take it - compliment or insult ?

Going back to last season, the likes of when we played Hibs, our mistakes were costly in the league campaign and it was a similar story today. But sometimes you need a setback just so you see the warning signs that people can't get complacent. Today, getting a few setbacks is important because it will give us the kick up the backside we need."

It's neither a compliment or an insult.

It's his observations on his team's performances.

[The 90+2]

There was a couple of games last season where they dominated big time only for us to clinically snatch a draw. I’m assuming that’s what he means. Not much to do with us, just them throwing victory away.

[BILLYHIBS]

Probably still going on about Omeonga fouling his player on the edge of our box not getting the award and us scoring from the resulting counter attack 😁

[h18eeynick]

It's neither a compliment or an insult.

It's his observations on his team's performances.

Why specifically mention Hibs though ?

[Renton1875]

Why specifically mention Hibs though ?

Because it was the example that sprung to mind at the time? Don't think he's having a go at us.

[hibee_nation]

Why specifically mention Hibs though ?

Cause we twice got away from a deserved doing and left with a draw, glad it still riles him.

[Hibbyradge]

Why specifically mention Hibs though ?

It's just an example of when his team's mistakes cost them.

Given that you don't know if it's a compliment or an insult, you must be open to the possibility that it's neither, no?

Sure am hence asking the question. Just not sure what way to take it hence asking for opinions. I quite like him to be be honest as I think he gives an honest opinion on things and why I am not sure of what his view was with this - did we do well or should we be a roll over ?

[h18eeynick]

Probably me thinking along the lines that we should expect to beat St mirren and Hamilton but dont !

[BILLYHIBS]

I respected Steven Gerrard as a sublime quality midfielder

As Manager of The Rangers I do not know if he has been brainwashed but he seems to have bought into the Hun ethos and the world is against us mentality

The number of decisions The Hun got reversed in their favour last season was unreal

Going by his quote he must have loved Dazzas late equalising header at Ibroke last year :greengrin

Nah I still see a winner in Gerrard regardless of who he manages he wants the best and wants to win. He’s always been a whinging bassa.

Did not say he wasn’t a winner

Agree he is a whinging bassa :greengrin

[Here’s Lucy!]

Few things on this one:

As 90+2 has said, we were skinned by them twice and snatched draws. He’s not happy about that!

He has neither complimented or insulted us, he’s purely made comments regarding these games.

He’s a winner. Like him or hate him, he’s a winner. Unlike his wee pal Lampard who is a tool.

He will implode when we take them to the cleaners in the coming season.

Bring it on!

I think you’ll find his wee pal Lampard is much more of a winner than Gerrard will ever be. 🤔

[Smartie]

His players have been complimentary about us in every post-match interview they have done, so I think he had it drilled into them that we were a decent side.

I think it is a compliment. Against a lot of teams Rangers will get away with not being at their best. Against us and Blackburn, they will not and will need to be more clinical than they have been in order to get a result.

[Here’s Lucy!]

I think you’ll find his wee pal Lampard is much more of a winner than Gerrard will ever be. 🤔

Frankie boy is a pain. Trust me.

When the story was doing the rounds that they both couldn’t play in the same England midfield, there was one obvious choice to make. It wasn’t the sky kisser.

I don’t think I will find that you are correct in your somewhat direct post, but am happy to beg to differ.

[southsider]

Plays up to the total **** in the home support. Guilty of one of the worst ‘challenges (v Everton) I have ever seen. Hate him and their rotten to the core club.

Could you clarify what you mean by sky kisser? I can also guarantee that Lampard has won more playing and will continue to win more as a manager.

Re. ‘Sky kisser’. Think back a few years.

Who, in your opinion, was the better midfielder?

It wasn’t wee Franko.

[The 90+2]

Thanks for the guarantee.

Re. ‘Sky kisser’. Think back a few years.

Mr Heaven.

Is that not because his mum died and he dedicated every goal to her?

[AugustaHibs]

Thanks for the guarantee.

Re. ‘Sky kisser’. Think back a few years.

Mr Heaven.

Surely you’re at it? Have a word with yourself if you’re talking about his goal celebrations.

Can you also explain why you dislike him so much? And also why you give a **** who plays/played in England’s midfield

[AugustaHibs]

Why do you keep using stupid nicknames aswell?

[JimboHibs]

For me Gerard was the better midfielder and thats no slight on Lampard as he was fantastic at Chelsea.

[worcesterhibby]

Lampard has won more in his career.

Much more. Three league Titles to zero is the big difference.

[/QUOTE

It’s not necessarily about the count, Lampard played in a Chelsea team that was far superior to Liverpool over the same period. The description of Gerrard as a winner was down to his ability to massively influence a game and grab it by the scruff of the neck so to speak, hence the “Gerrard” FA cup final and the CL victory in Istanbul.

[Torto7]

Lampard was more of a winner and a more cultured footballer despite what the Slippy cultists repeat ad nauseum. The comment above about him pointing to the sky shows the mindset of these people. They look for something to hate in Lampard but can't find it because he's a gent. Slippy on the other hand was a nasty little thug and a prolific diver.

Lampard ran the midfield everytime he went up against Barcelona at their peak.There isn't a bigger compliment than that.

Oh and he won more......much more.

[JohnM1875]

It's not even close for me.

Lampard is easily better than Gerrard. Though Lampard is probably my favourite midfield player and I appreciate it's all about opinions.

Also never understood the Scholes hype.

For whatever reason, you might not have appreciated Paul Scholes, but it wasn't hype.

11 league titles and 2 Champions Leagues along with a dozen or so others proves that.

😂 I think you might be a bit biased, I get the feeling that you don’t like Gerrard and your slippy comment is boring predictable crap. I preferred Gerrard but I can recognise what a fantastic footballer Lampard was. Your dismissal of Gerrard’s talent is ridiculous.

When Scholes played well, Ferguson’s United played well.

He was a joy to watch and underrated if anything. A sublime talent.

[Hibeesmad]

Gerrard is a big character who has had a lot of influence on others throughout his career. I actually think he will go on to be successful in his managerial career. Just hopefully not at Rangers. Wouldn't be surprised to see him end up back at Liverpool in similar fashion to Lampard at Chelsea.

I’m no fan of him but it can’t be denied that he has improved Sevco considerably. Hopefully he proves to be a one season wonder and it all goes wrong for him this time round.

He's manager of the Hun - somewhere in that statement there's an insult as it's the nature of the beasts !

[Since452]

Lived in their heads rent free since 21/5/16. The ammount of Rangers fans who comment on Hibs content on Twitter, YouTube etc is frightening. Pleasing.

[worcesterhibby]

Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard were all brilliant midfielders. All the more humorous that they consistently failed to achieve anything with England.

Lampard would be my pick, with Scholes a close second and Gerrard 3rd.

Lampard was the better scorer and smooth distributor. Scholes was the best passer and you have to love his rocket shots, and Gerrard the best at driving with the ball. Of the three Gerrard was the biggest diver and is now a Hun.

[Here’s Lucy!]

Surely you’re at it? Have a word with yourself if you’re talking about his goal celebrations.

Ok, I concede that I was perhaps a wee bit harsh as to the reasons for his celebrations but, it did drag on a bit and led to footballers across Europe copying it. Not my sort of thing, sorry.


Why do you keep using stupid nicknames aswell?

Nicknames are common place in football and I like to use my chosen ones. I don’t think they’re stupid but you are well entitled to your opinion on them. :aok:

[Since452]

None of them were as good as John McGinn. Fact.

[Barman Stanton]

I liked both Lampard and Gerrard as players. To say neither was a winner is just pretty dumb really. Since the 3 are always brought up together though, I do think Scholes was the best player out of them. There was nothing he couldn't do.

Scholes was suspended for the 1999 final although to be fair he did help them get there.

[Barman Stanton]

Tackle? :greengrin

He could, he was just also a sneaky bugger who liked to catch the player :greengrin.

[Barman Stanton]

Rightly or wrongly, Gerards inability to win a League title will always be a slight against him.

Truly great players like Maradona could drag teams to titles (I have no other examples in fairness :greengrin)

[Here’s Lucy!]

He could, he was just also a sneaky bugger who liked to catch the player :greengrin.

As opposed to the much unappreciated Nicky Butt. He was a great wee midfielder but without the niggly side to him that Scholes had.

Eric Cantona dragged United to the title the year after his suspension. Though whether he was a truly great player is open to debate

Eric was a great player and a fantastically charismatic personality.

It would have went on for years and years... it was his goal celebration, and he scored a fair few.

Far more annoying celebrations out there than Lampard's tribute, in my opinion. That f***** 'goggle-eyes' type thing some do with their hands for starters. :grr:

I’m sure most of the top players of that era hold Scholes in high regard. One in particular ( I can’t remember who but it surprised me at the time) saying he was the best midfielder he had ever played against.
