Insignificant rangers hating piss poor hack who is employed by a left wing rag
The Sun? A left wing rag?Insignificant rangers hating piss poor hack who is employed by a left wing rag
Are you telling me he never wrote articles on Porteous because he was white? I would have thought the most logical reason was that nobody cares to read about Ryan Porteous?So where was Leckie's column condeming Ryan Porteous for not one, not two, not three but FOUR assaults on our players in the past 12 months including two where he went in to deliberately hurt his opponent ?
Or the numerous other wild challenges that Porteous has put in ?
You seriously telling me that Alfie is out on his own as some sort of wild man of Scottish Football ?
Tell me what he does that is so different from others in this league and why he should be treated differently ?
The Sun? A left wing rag?
Are you serious?
It's owned by Rupert Murdoch. Google him and pop back if you still think that the Sun owner would allow his publication to even stray slightly left of centre.
You're mistaken there, bear.
Hmmmm.Always one? You’re kidding yourself if you think Alfie has been a model professional. Granted the refs give him a tougher time than anyone in the league but he has defo done things to make himself a target for the knuckle draggers.
He gives them ammo at times?Are you telling me he never wrote articles on Porteous because he was white? I would have thought the most logical reason was that nobody cares to read about Ryan Porteous?
Alfie has definitely been targeted by refs but my point was he gives them ammo times. I don’t think theres any denying that.
Morelos is the best and most talked about footballer in Scotland. 28 goals in the first half of the season. Leading us in a title challenge. Prone to a moment of stupidity now and again on the park.It is naive.
Ryan Jack was sent off 4 times in his first 20 games for Rangers.
Yet Leckie didn't offer up anything like this.
So it can't just be because Alfie plays for Rangers.
If it was, then Jack would have had similar written about him.
So what is it that makes Morelos so different?
I have said Morelos gets treated more harshly by refs but just because he gets treated harsh doesn’t mean he doesn’t do stupid things.He gives them ammo at times?
Do you actually watch Scottish football, if so do you just ignore the litany of incidents far more worthy of yellow and red cards that get completely ignored by officials and media alike.
Another fecking apologist.
You think that is the only difference?Morelos is the best and most talked about footballer in Scotland. 28 goals in the first half of the season. Leading us in a title challenge. Prone to a moment of stupidity now and again on the park.
Jack was a bit part player in a Pedro Caxinha side that was bumbling along trying to finish second in the league.
Can you see the difference now?
The sun is far from a left wing rag ffs.Insignificant rangers hating piss poor hack who is employed by a left wing rag
Whilst you casually omit the red cards the yahoo's should have had in the game.I have said Morelos gets treated more harshly by refs but just because he gets treated harsh doesn’t mean he doesn’t do stupid things.
The first yellow against Celtic is a prime example as it was never a yellow in my books but it was a needless off the ball foul. No need to do it was there? Also no need to dive when through on goal was there? So yes he gives them ammo.
Nice eyes but!!!!!!!Waster is it ?
Look in the mirror....... waster !
... It may not be racism, but one can't avoid having some suspicion that this vile drivel is driven by something cancerous eating at the author's soul.

Can't he address it with something that is at least possible?Maybe if he could get a burd, it would mellow him out, bilkobear.
This is the reply my brother just got from.his complaint...
Dear Craig,
Thank you for taking the time to get in touch. Like any sports columnist, Bill Leckie is passionate about the game and has a deep understanding of it.
In his column he was simply responding to stories last week in which Steven Gerrard claimed people were trying to ‘kill’ Alfredo Morelos’ career at Rangers. Bill was making the point that, in his opinion, Mr Morelos is his own worst enemy. It wasn’t an attack on the player, simply criticism of his recent behaviour and disciplinary record.
He made the point that these incidents inevitably cause issues with opposing fans, and argued that only Morelos can be the master of his own destiny. Bill went on to highlight the work done by Mr Gerrard and said that, together, they can solve the problem.
As an opinion column, it is inevitable that not everyone will agree with Bill’s views. Mr Alfredo has had a great deal of praise from our writers and columnists for his goal-scoring abilities and the crucial role he has played for Rangers this season. We have always aimed to provide a range of viewpoints, and will continue to do so.

MR ALFREDO.???
Yes according to Robyn Robyn Kelly all those words were either a figment of our imagination or they mean something entirely different to this goon.It ‘wasn’t an attack on the player’? Calling him a waster, a cheat, a whiner and a diver, with a ‘bitch face’. Sure sounds like an attack to me.

I've resigned myself to the fact that the board will do nothing about this. Utterly spineless when it comes to defending the players/fans.
I don’t think dignified silence can really be an accusation aimed at our current board in general.I wouldn’t expect anything from Stewart Robertson that could in any way be misconstrued as confront or aggressive.
Dignified silence will cost us more trophies going forward.
They should but it appears they won,t as usual.Just listened to H&H daily update and thought David got it 100% This was a definite step too far and club should act accordingly.
I don’t think dignified silence can really be an accusation aimed at our current in general.
This incident,yes but not overall.
Really, remind us of all the times he’s fought the club’s corner with regards to the numerous attacks on both club and supporters.I don’t think dignified silence can really be an accusation aimed at our current in general.
This incident,yes but not overall.
Off the top of my head I recall the board speaking out after the Hibs cup final,highlighting the conflict of interest at the SPFL with MacLennan,FARE,Lawwell trying to get the EBT case against the club up and running again,BBC Scotland,the crush at Rugby park,Hibs cutting the ticket allocation,defending Morelos after the last Old Firm game,getting Spiers sacked for lying,the SNP councillors stopping the fanzone.Really, remind us of all the times he’s fought the club’s corner with regards to the numerous attacks on both club and supporters.
Tells us more?I'm sure old salt and pepper hair was involved in a transphobic incident years ago.
I don't think he insinuates he does not belong here as in Scotland but that his behaviour does not belong on a football park which he has a point.
In my opinion he has an over the top go at Alfie for his diving and petulance on the park. He also gets a few things wrong like when he says it does not look like Alfie enjoys playing football which is BS if you have ever seen him score, which he does a lot!
Also lumping him in with Suarez is again trying to portray him in a worse light by comparing him to someone done for racism as well as biting opponents.
All in all it is an incredibly biased piece of trash journalism but I don't see it as racist.
