Lonely Bill Leckie once again attacks Morelos

The hate in that article is shocking.

I genually didnt believe it was true tbh until I clicked in it. Even if he did have that opinion of a player he shouldn't be writing that to a country wide newspaper. It lacks professionalism. His personal hate getting in the way of his job as its lies hes telling. I'm sure some of the better in the know posters should be sending this to the club so he gets no interviews etc with us.
 
Can someone tell me why our club bother making statements when they refuse to back them up with actually doing something?

Let's hope they do this time as this newspaper should have been banned last week. It's very much like the Murray years where upon if it is not a personal attack on them (the board) they couldn't care less.
 
STEVEN GERRARD was a threat to every team he played against.

He was the embodiment of the guy you hated in the other lot’s colours but would have given anything to see wearing yours.

Bill Leckie reckons Rangers star Morelos is his own worst enemyCredit: Getty Images - Getty
Across 17 years, 504 games, 120 goals and nine trophies for Liverpool, plus 114 caps and 21 goals for England, he must have been an absolute swine to face across that white line.

Yet all he ever got from the opposition was respect.

And why? Because he was honest. Because he gave his lot. Because his first responsibility was always to his mates.

Because he radiated a love for his club, his city, his country and for the game.


So it’s baffling that a man who’s an ideal role model for every young pro should put himself out on a limb for a waster like Alfredo Morelos.

A waster? Yes, for me that’s what the Rangers striker is.

Someone blessed with wonderful talent, yet who spoils so much of the good work he does by slouching around like a spoiled, angry brat who hates his job.

He dives, he cheats, he lashes out at the kind of provocation 99 per cent around him laugh off, he celebrates in front of rival team’s fans, though he knows it’ll get him in trouble.
Then, when it all comes back to haunt him, he plays the victim. Or rather, he gets his manager to play it for him.
Morelos was given extra time off last week while Gerrard launched an attack on the mysterious forces he says want to drive the lad out of Scotland.
Sorry, Steven, but this is nonsense.
You’re an intelligent man, you’re a straight-talker and you’ve the potential to be a top, top gaffer, but you’re way off the mark on this one.
Because while you’re right that Morelos is a threat to these mysterious forces — aka Celtic — so were Ally McCoist, Brian Laudrup, Mark Hateley and plenty more, but no one tried to drive THEM out of the game.

Rangers star Morelos likes to play the victim says our man BillCredit: Reuters
Henrik Larsson, Chris Sutton, John Hartson were a pain in the backside for Rangers and Alan Shearer, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Dennis Bergkamp were all threats to your ambitions at Anfield, but no one tried to drive any of them out.
Why? Because, like you, they were decent guys who played the game the right way.
Like you, they were hard but fair, they could take a kick and come back for more.
Like you, they’d go to war for 90 minutes then shake hands at time up.
Morelos doesn’t tick any of these boxes. Neither did Luis Suarez, who you brought up as another example of someone who had no friends outside his club and who was railroaded to another country.
Suarez racially abused an opponent. He serially bit man-markers.
He always looked as if playing football was a chore rather than a pleasure — and that’s why he was so disliked — not because he scored goals.
Guys like Suarez get little respect from opponents because they don’t try to earn it.
Guys like him blame their own bad behaviour on the pressure others put them under.
And guys like him are not missed when they finally trudge away grumbling under their breath.
Sadly, that’s the way Morelos is headed.
With his Resting Bitch Face pout, his flailing elbows and snide off-the-ball kicks, the way he’d rather fall over to get a fellow player sent off than take a shot at goal, he seems hell-bent on making as few friends as possible in our game.
He’s not alone in this last one, of course. Roy Keane didn’t try to win popularity contests either, nor did the likes of Eric Cantona or Graeme Souness.


But what separates them from a Morelos is that they backed up the snarl with success. They led from the front, they were serial winners.
In real terms, meanwhile, this moody blue has done the square root of hee-haw.
He doesn’t have a winner’s medal, he hasn’t scored in an Old Firm game.
He has, however, let his team down through the antics which have seen him pick up seven red and 39 yellow cards in just over 100 starts.
When they come back from Dubai to reboot their season, he’ll be missing yet again.
It’s three games this time thanks to the stupidest sending-off yet — that dive when through on goal at Parkhead.
That moment, for me, said everything about him.
FOOTIE TRIBUTE Celtic and Rangers legends battle it out in charity game in memory of Glasgow rocker
It cemented him as everything the average fan hates about a certain type of modern player — the cynicism, the deviousness, the absence of joy.
Only he can change this. Only he can turn around the image the world outside Ibrox has of him.
Only he can put a smile on his coupon and learn to count to ten when he’s being wound up, only he can work out why he’d rather cheat than score.
Only he can earn the mega-money move we keep hearing big clubs are queueing up to offer.
That’s what Gerrard should be concentrating on right now, getting his goal machine’s head right, because that could end up being the difference between stopping nine in a row and facing up to stopping ten.
He should be pointing at Jermain Defoe as someone who’s been a threat wherever he’s gone for 20 years, yet who’s universally liked and admired.
He should be working overtime to turn a manchild into a man.
The fact that he would rather turn him into a martyr does neither of them any credit.
Idiotic scumbag
 
It really is embarrassing that guys like Leckie are regarded as journalists, without Rangers they would have nothing to write about, the Sun is his level, basically a comic masquerading as a newspaper.
What a sad, twisted individual.
How low has your life fallen when you have to take a job writing sensationalist garbage for the Sun comic. The guy is an attention seeking failure.

It has to happen now.
We've released a statement calling for action on the racist filth at the house of child abuse.
The club simply has to act. With this scumbag and his fellow racist sutton the sun have decided that our players are fair game for racial abuse.

Don't call on the paedos to act when we sit back and do fùck all ourselves.
Get them banned and get it done now.
 
How convenient he mentions Alfredo joined our group in Dubai late BUT doesn’t mention why.... that wouldn’t fit your single minded narrative bill.

and his praise for the gaffer was nauseating. “You were hard, you were a mans man, you were tough” yada yada nonsense. Giving a compliment in one sentence then squashing it the next by claiming what gerrard was saying is nonsense.

guys like Leckie and Keevins please know this, you were never relevant or informative nor groundbreaking, even in your pomp. It’s high time for all your claims of what would be best for Scottish football, is now you dinosaurs leaving our media.You offer less than nothing and purely base a career off of controversialism rather than thought provoking insight
 
When they start 'playing the man' in any argument you know they have lost

This is barrel-scraping, slanderous muck from Leckie, but fitting from the disgusting amoral rag thst he works for

Talking of wasters, its hard to believe Leckie earns a living as a journalist given the standard and tone of his writing.

A small man with a small penis who is happy to be a cuck to all things 19th Century Terrorist. Hope you're proud of your life Bill
 
Gave up reading it as it gave every appearance of just being more ill-disguised trolling, to try to be relevant during a quiet period for the papers.

One thing though, when Old Lonely was comparing Alfredo to all these past players in an attempt to trash him, did he ever get around to mentioning that Morelos did well in Finland and never attracted the negativity from oppositions players and fans, or the local press like he has over here? Did that comparison get mentioned?

Another thing, have Stokes, Lennon, Griffiths, etc ever been subjected to the same vitriol from Leckie, and look at their behavior - on and off the pitch? Over a period of years each of them have remained remarkably free of negative attention from him despite all sorts of carry-on..
 
I dont know why everybody starts frothing at the mouth about him. He'll be loving it. A couple of bitchy comments back at him would be enough.

Chill gentleman. He's at it and not worth bothering about.
 
Trying to kiss gerrards arse before launching yet another racist tinged tirade against somebody who hasn't played a minute of football for a fortnight.

If Rangers react, let Gerrard do it personally and humiliate this fat disgrace.
 
he's obviously blaming Morelos because he can't have his wee jolly in Australia at this point in the year with Murray not taking part in it and he can't do "reports" on him, despite the fact he knows nothing about the sport

why do they hold on to the "never scored V Celtic" line when he's scored 14 goals in the Europa League with defences that are much better than theirs, people wanting to buy him will be looking at that record, not the one against them
 
Do these cretins have any football knowledge?

The top scorer in the group stages, a new record of goals scored in the Europa League before Christmas, and equaled Ronaldo’s goals to be 5th in European football for 2019.

Why can’t they celebrate his achievements and talk up the Scottish game for once?

Another one in the media taking the Hollicoin.

Hes went below the belt here. It's actually quite shocking for a sports journalist in a national paper. As I've said I thought it was a wind up and wasnt until clicked in saw he actually did write this. Its pure hatred for a man and not the player.
 
Nah Bill, THIS is a waster!

5'7" ffs he's a time bandit!

Wee man syndrome clearly.
 
That's a shocking article.

These cunts are trying to outdo each other to see who hates Alfie the most .
Just stop the culprits at the doors at the next press conference and tell the cunts never to come back
 
The thing with this as well, I may be wrong, but an editor had to have approved this for print. So at least two cnts have thought, "ye lets go with the waster foreigner line".

The line he is getting about hating his job is very similar to Negri, who only never celebrated in one game (DU). As for Saurez and Morelos, thye both look fcking delighted when they score, you know, doing their job!

WOW this piece is the worst of the lot.
Could easily applied to his blessed ‘broonie’

Exactly, Josh Windass, Daniel Candeias and fcin Jamie Ness have scored against Celtic
