Believe me the Mirror wouldn't print them, they hate us and always have. On a separate note Martin Tyler will have a burning torch ready for us next time we are live on Sky.

Oh I know mate. Hence the laughing emoji. And I posted earlier to watch out for the media backlash

People shouting for him to be banned are wide of the mark but he almost certainly needs a few games on the bench. He could of very easily been sent off yesterday being his usual rash self. He's been a mess for too long and it's become a matter of when not if he does something ridiculous in pretty much every game.

You’re right, I just hate Souness

Time for a nap........

 

[bluenorthwarrior]

Some of the abuse is pretty disturbing

The club need to come out and call this out, and get our ex players on the airwaves.

 

[T LEAFE]

That is an assault Souness

 

[COYBL25]

That is an assault Souness

That should be shown to him as a reminder.

There’s plenty more too.

Their push for retrospective action has begun, so if they get their way, I hope the FA keep the same energy for Robertson/Mane

Plus

If he didn’t get injured no one would be talking about it.

Scumbags.

Anyone who thinks he meant it is completely daft. It wasn't even an attempt at a tackle, it was an attempt to make himself big to block a shot. It was a bad tackle and it has unfortunately caused an injury, but the idea it was intentional is ludicrous.

It was a bad piece of goalkeeping by a poor goalkeeper.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

That is unacceptable from souness. He is nearly crying as he is clearly upset one of his boys is out for the season and he cannot rein in his bias.

The language he is using will encourage the scrote elements of RS support to think they should take action against Pickford, either online or heaven forbid in the real world. Massively unprofessional and dangerous, on the back of casual racism last time out. I'll be writing a letter of complaint to sky.

100% spot on

I think with all the noise that's going to come his way its wise to take him out the firing line a bit.

His form is terrible too. He needs the reset button pressing.

In my lifetime (so not the days of Norman Hunter and Chopper Harris I’m too young) of watching football I can only think off the top of my head of two tackles that were clearly intended to hurt- Keane on Haaland and Ben Thatcher on Pedro Mendes. I’m sure there’s a few more examples but they are the relevant ones that spring to mine. Even Son on Gomes last year which got a lot of people hot and bothered was nothing compared to those challenges which were basically assault disguised as “tackles”.

The cliched “leave one on someone” or “let them know they’re in a game” ideology has always made me a little uncomfortable but even firm tackles that fall into those categories are never meant to really hurt anybody.

Just hope the FA don’t bow to kopite media pressure.

No mate. Everyone just needs to ignore Twitter

The amount of people here defending the tackle is shocking. It was an assault and a clear red card and if he gets 5 matches we have nothing to complain about. I though we we're better than them, but I'm beginning to wonder.
