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 😁

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.

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

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 !

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

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

[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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
