Who is the journo he ripped in the middle (2.44 in) of the presser? "yous didnae play well, 7 out of 10 but won" patter. Sorted him, great work SG.

It was Jordan Campbell (I believe), the Rangers correspondent from The Athletic.

I thought it was a fair comment from the journalist tbh but he also left himself open to be put in his place and the best managers will take the opportunity to shoot anyone down if given the chance.

Wasn't being critical and he was spot on we weren't at our best and still won.

He’s a grassing rat and people say he is one of us. Another spiers.
He’s as much of one of us as is his mentally challenged pals in the media are.

I think he meant it as a compliment. However, I think it goes to show that there are two sides to the game, what journos and we see, compared to what the management ask from the players and what they see.

I don't think Jordan helped himself by sniggering when Gerrard batted it back at him. Gaffer was having none of it.

Ouch.
I think it shows the difference between supporter/journalist and players/manager.
The latter know the work that goes into a game moreso than a viewer.

Poor journo - that was a little awkward.

If you are right I’d be disappointed if this results in any falling-out between the two because I enjoy Jordan Campbell‘s work in the Atlantic and wouldn’t like it to be adversely affected by access problems.
Can’t take to Jordan Campbell at all, looks like the Gaffer can’t either.
Heard his work in the Pacific is a lot better.

By saying it was a 7/10 performance? Some analyst he must be. No wonder Gerrard put him straight.

Very clumsy by whoever the questioner was, actually thought it was a typically shit question from the usual amateurish Scottish media, if it was a Rangers friendly guy he needs to give himself a shake and up his game.

What are you on about? Did he shite in your cornflakes this morning or something?

The structure and delivery of the question was far from spot on, it did not even suggest he was a journalist.
He deserved what he got. The manager obviously thought so as well.

I can see both points of view. SG looking at it on the basis of delivering on a game plan and getting the win without too much drama, but there’s no denying we’ve played better football in recent weeks.
His work on Rangers is brilliant & far too informative/analytical for standard MSM. Read his piece on Jelavic today, great work as per usual.
He generally has a good relationship with the club, hope that doesn’t sour it.

It was poorly worded in the sense that it was totally understandable that Gerrard pulled him up on it.
On the other hand, 7/10 is probably about right for tonight. Maybe 8 max.

His pieces can be good but he was piss poor with his questions and sniggering.

I’ve seen this stuff about him being a grass on twitter a few times.
Can you explain why that label is being thrown at him?
Genuine question as I honestly don’t know.

I would agree mate, a bit childlike or just perhaps an anxious response. Either way, didn’t look good.

What would you rate it out of 10? 7/10 isnt a negative. It's simply saying that we no longer need to be putting in 9/10 performances to win in Europe such is our strength.
Against Feyenoord in Holland the BB was sung, Jordan called people out on twitter for it because we’d just been fined for singing.
Thus, he’s seemingly a grass.

All he meant was that it was a comfortable win without being at our best, it was the 7/10 thing that annoyed the Gaffer, but it wasn't meant as a dig, it was meant as a compliment.

It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove.
Take note Mr Spiers I mean Campbell.

For me that's downplaying Lech Poznan's performance. It was clear to me they'd done their homework and they frustrated the life out of us for the first 55 minutes, cutting off our usual passing lanes and keeping Tavernier and Kent quiet. Based on the two games so far they look a better side than Standard Liege, in my opinion.
I think we actually did really well to still find a way to take the game by the scruff of the neck and dominate the last half hour and find the winner.
A fine European performance for me and certainly more than a 7/10.

Ah okay.
Not really something that hasn’t been done on here, and on twitter by others, a million times given the harm those songs in Europe do to the club.
Yeah I know mate, imagine that at a hearing “Mr FARE representative did you hear any singing?. No, but some Glaswegian tweeted about it AHA.”

Jordan Campell is one of us and along with H&H & Suck(FF)gets fan media access.
The way I saw it when I watched the press conference,he asked a legitimate question and I was surprised myself when Gerrard got spikey.Id imagine he was too and the snigger/laugh was just nervous kicking in thinking “sh!t,I didn’t mean to offend him there”.
The guys a young journalist in his early/mid 20s who’s a bluenose and produces superb content on the club.
A few folk on here need to lighten up,get a grip and stop being so bloody damn precious.

Managers aren't going to put down their teams even if they don't play well, I thought there was nothing wrong with what he said,I thought Gerrards answer saying he must have watched a different game and thinking it was more than a 7/10 performance was wrong. 8/10 and upwards are performances against Braga,Williem ll,Porto and Standard away, did Gerrard actually think our performance last night was the same as the above teams. I wouldn't have scored it any higher than a 7/10, I'd say last night was the poorest performance out of all the qualifying games and the Standard game.

8, possibly 9/10.
IMO those saying we were below par are basing this on Poznan being the pot 4 side in the group. As I said on another post for me they looked better than Leige.

Grass? Is this the Billy boys thing? Jeezo you are a drama queen.
So he is a mentally challenged rat for that? And the equivalent to Spiers?
Get a grip pal, seriously.
