Souness on Goals On Sunday

[Elm0]

Anyone watching? Giving what seems a fairly candid account of his time as Liverpool manager.

[D.Boon]

Very candid and apologetic regarding the mistake with the rag. I really like Souness, he's a proper Liverpool legend and still clearly loves the club and city.

[Chili Palmer]

the most honest interview by him I've seen or read on the subject.

 

He knows he made a terrible terrible mistake.

[Epic Swindle]

Forgive him years ago. Shame he's not remembered as the out and our great player he was, and for me our best ever captain.

[Benzo-13]

Very open on it.

Makes a difference seeing the words come out of his mouth rather than text on a page.

You can see he's gutted about that episode totally.

I remember him as a player. Very much so.

not sure that is true

 

people of my generation (I am 41) hold him in the highest esteem as a player.....he is, imo, our second best player ever, and our best captain

erm no...

 

Dalglish our best ever player, Souness as our best ever captain....

Spot on for me.

[Swan Red]

erm no...

 

Dalglish our best ever player, Souness as our best ever captain....

 

Lol I thought I recalled you suggesting that Gerrard was a better player than Souness some time ago

[Minder78]

I don't know how you couldn't hold him in the highest esteem, he made a horrible error of judgement and I would think there was no intent to cause offence.

 

Clearly still loves the club, and what a player he was. I have heard people compare him to Roy Keane, which frankly is laughable. Maybe they were comparing them as managers .

Agreed completely - and what a player

 

erm no...

 

Dalglish our best ever player, Souness as our best ever captain....

 

Yep

[Billy Dane]

Absolutely magnificent player and tremendous captain for the club. Best ever player for the club? Certainly the best ever midfield player I have had the privilege to watch.

[D.Boon]

A great player and brutal with it.

[Swan Red]

erm no...

 

Dalglish our best ever player, Souness as our best ever captain....

Someone's had a Feckin 'mare in that thread

[Swan Red]

Someone's had a Feckin 'mare in that thread

 

if you're suggesting I had a mare because I called Souness over Gerrard you're wrong

[Cobs]

if you're suggesting I had a mare because I called Souness over Gerrard you're wrong

Not at all

 

I thought our exchange was the highlight of the thread

[Swan Red]

ah yeah to both

[DanielS]

The affection, warmth and respect in his voice when he was talking about Paisley was really touching.

[Ethan]

Is there anywhere I can see this interview online ?

[kop205]

As others have said, forgave him ages ago.

 

I know that some haven't and given the sensitivities involved that is their choice, certainly not going to lecture anyone on it.

 

I've no problem with him now and although I don't see loads of him as pundit as I never watch Sky, he's never struck me as being as bad - and certainly not as pro-Manc - as some make out. As I say though,could be wrong as don't see much of him.

[David Hodgson]

Feels good to see people rehabilitating Souness. He was a poor manager and did a daft thing, but he's always supported the club, is an intelligent observer of the game and is a true all time great.

 

Even at the time, when he f*cked up over *that* interview I felt sorry for him. He'd just had a life saving operation, and I thought he could have been cut a bit more slack. It's not like his critical faculties would have been at their best post operatively. Someone should have stepped in and advised him.
