Gerrard - Clark didn't want to talk about Boyd sectarian abuse

Got to love Stevie G.
He's walked the walk & is showing a great ability to talk the talk.
He's got them on toast.
 
Gerrard has had the poor excuse for a media up heres number from day one. You can see it with the way he treats their stupid questions, he sees right through it. Delighted someone at the club is putting it out there and due to SG stature in the game, what he says will not go unnoticed. Timmys desperation to have the spotlight on Us will only serve to shine it on themselves...and by %^*& do they have a lot in their closet that they dont want any light shone on!

Hardly reliable I know but I seen someone on Twitter earlier saying a few Kilmarnock players are pissed off with his hypocrisy. Unsurprisingly unimpressed with the lack of support for their captain.

Wasn't that the case with Lennon too? He rolled about the ground pretending to be hit in "the jaw" at Tynecastle with a coin. His players saw through the scam and immediately lost respect for the nutter. Clarke is taking over the TLB role now and his players are not daft, they are professional footballers who want to play football (albeit kicking the shit out of Rangers) but their manager has scored an own goal by grabbing the reins of the Lennon victim mantle.

I imagine he'll be keeping that one up his sleeve until the time is right. Very calculated comments from Gerrard there, he certainly knows what he's doing.

It's about timing as you state.

The time to come out with something when we haven't lost an important game or things are going wrong for the club,
We need to come out when things appear to going in our favour, otherwise it just comes across as sour grapes.

Gerrard is well switched on but needs some help.

Gerrard and/or the club missed an opportunity the week after we beat St.Pats.

We lack some political nouse within the club.
King and Gerrard can not be expected to be the only ones to step up, they need a spin doctor in the mold of some potentially like Alistair Campbell.
 
Offfft! Stevie G is a clever man! Call the bastards out, about time some lady's front bottom had the balls. Over to you Stewart Robertson and the board

I'm sure we'll hear about that at their joint press conference then?

Boyd's got a massive open goal to aim at here

I love this from Gerrard


“I’ve had it since I was 18. I just echo what Boydy said at the weekend, as long as it’s not physical I’m okay with it"

Puts the pressure on to either call it all out evenly or get on with it until people are willing to be balanced in their "offence" and outrage.

He won’t slate clarke infront of the media
 
As someone else said, Clarke is playing the Lennon card. If this happened a few months ago when results were going his way he would have laughed it off. Unbelievable that so many people have jumped on the bandwagon again.
 
I think we have played this well. A lot of folk were calling for this to be brought up in our statement but Gerrard was the right person to mention it.

The Club have rightly taken responsibility for the singing and Gerrard is also right to point out the hypocrisy. Well played Rangers.
 
Whos more likely to get the headline, Clarke or the Gaffer. I think S.G. has just raised the stakes by calling Clarke out. Hopefully it gets the coverage U.K. wide and lets others see whst we are up against on all fronts. As has been said on other threads its a simple case of 'selectarian' when it suits.
 
Clarke seems addicted to shouting his mouth off. A bit like Rodgers whose job he no doubts covets.

He knows exactly what he is doing with that wee remark.

With regards to not caring about abuse as long as it is not physical, that is cause you're a man Stevie. Clarke is the moaniest greeting faced wee lassie around.

do u think he wouldve even mentioned the song if they beat us?:) typical crash barrier deflect from thier performance crying about somthing that if he's really honest with himself doesn't bother him in the slightest! why not mention it to sg after the game if he was so upset? the answer? he wasn't he was gutted his punching above thier weight pub team got gubbed :)

I'm not surprised. Boyd had to take to social media to call out the actions of their fans because his own manager refused to even comment on it. A disgraceful way to treat any player, let alone the captain who has given over 10 years' service to the club.

I really wonder if he would have done the same if someone like O'Donnell was getting it from our fans.
 
Great response,the gaffer's played a blinder with this statement.
Also agree with other posters about being smarter and cutting out certain songs.
We've a great song book even changing a word here and there if needs be.

Skeletor was outside Ibrox again, I knew that little arsehole wouldn’t miss an opportunity to spread his hatred of everything Rangers.

I love that the Stevie G has called out Clarke but still, think we could have asked in our statement why the media don't raise the issue of sectarianism when opposing fans come to Ibrox every home match and sing sectarian abuse towards Rangers fans.
 
Clarke's mask slipped, not only did he expose himself as a bitter poet but also a pathetic excuse for a man manager when you can not even defend your own player but then spit the dummy when something is said towards you.
 
Remember when Ian Ferguson played for Dunfermline and was getting terrible sectarian abuse? Martin O'Neill's response was along the lines of he's a big boy and should be able to deal with it! Don't remember much media condemnation then!
 
A quick question, do any of the UB post on here. If so can we get their take on this ,seeing as the finger of blame is being pointed in their direction.

We also know he is a manipulator of facts. He said that he was never offered a job at us then suddenly the other night he had. Snake behaviour.
 
Well done from our manager said what needed to be said double standards from Moaning greeting faced Clarke and the complicit media the truth hurts
 
Stevie just gets it. He knows what being in a big club environment is about, he has lived it his entire adult life and he knows that for the majority the abuse is 90 minute thing. As he said as long as it ends at verbals then there’s no issue for him and the vast majority of football people who’ve been anywhere near the top would agree.
Personally? I would like rid of the 19th Century Terrorist this and hun that. I appreciate some won’t for whatever reason, it’ll do the club no good keeping it about it just makes us a target.
 
Amazing how quickly the gaffer has clicked, not just with our MSM, but also realised the total double standards at play with all in football in Scotland.
 
Didn't think I could love our manager any more than I did. He plays those morons in the media like a fiddle and he makes it look completely innocent and effortless into the bargain.
 
He should turn on them at the next press conference and ask why none of the major outlets including Sky made any fuss about Boyd’s abuse.
Put it right in their faces on live tv.

at least gerrard is questioning why clarke stayed silent on sunday. wonder what the bbc narrative will be to this.

Will they show the abuse our Gaffer sufferred with subtitles he suffered in August to clarify its not just Rangers fans?

Gerrard should have brought that up saying he was abused at Celtic Park and there was no witch hunt against Celtic called orange bastard by the majority of the stadium

Call thrm out

The striking thing is he's sat and had a beer with Clarke and take it he's not brought it up,then chooses to go public,double standards, I think so.

Disagree. At that point he was unaware of Clarke’s press conference. Clarke’s conference makes it double standards, which Gerrard simply falls out.

I hope we as a support can support our manager in this.
Each of us as an individual has to help Steven Gerrard here.
Every single supporter can help.
Quite simply don't sing these songs.
We can do it.

Ask yourself, if you continue to sing this type of song, could you then stand in front of Stevie Gerrard as an individual and admit to him that you continued to sing them after he asked you not to?
Because if you wouldn't be prepared to do that but still sing these songs then you are a poor example of a human being.
We are all of us better than that.

I’m broadly in agreement with you, but there’s a niggling doubt I have with your argument.
We’ve been here before with TBB and the famine song, and when we stopped singing them we continued to be vilified.
Recently we had the fat slug leckie calling the songs played by the DJ pre match the “bigoted mega mix” So that’s the blue sea of Ibrox, Rangers easy ok, four lads had a dream etc. You know, those real nasty hate filled sectarian anthems.
And this is the crux of the matter - as far as these people are concerned simply being a Rangers fan automatically qualifies us all as bigots in their eyes. They absolutely detest us and will continue to vilify and demonise us and our club regardless of what songs we sing or don’t sing.
So with that in mind it’s difficult for me to say that we as a support should moderate our language for fear of offending those that are offended by our very existence.
 
Next get the mhedia, mps, and mentally challenged led charities to discuss the abused dished out at the paedodome every time Rangers are there; from the entrance to their effigies to their I*A chanting.
 
Brilliant once again from Stevie G but unfortunately not one coward in our esteemed mhedia will call Clarke out for his sheer hypocrisy.

Utter shitebags the lot of them and a stain on their profession.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.​
