[greggakd]

this praise wont wash with the scottish MSM

 

[JD65]

Something you won’t see in the Scottish press.

 

[baxter93]

About time he gets credit from someone else

 

[Nopapacnoparty]

Some guy ,some player .
Love him.

 

[govanrear1987]

Something you won’t see in the Scottish press.

Probably want him booked for the foul

 

[bearsmarsbars]

Love it from Morelos and fair play to Antwerp.

 

[JD65]

Probably want him booked for the foul

Sent off.

 

[LOL 133]

Strange they didnt reciprocate by giving us the ball back when they had the chance.

 

[JD1872]

Antwerp seem like a really decent club, nothing but praise for us from their players and the club itself

Much prefer them to Standard

 

[Skoosh1872]

They showed him going down the tunnel after the match alongside one of the injured Antwerp players and it looked like he was checking he was OK.
The truth doesn’t fit the narrative that’s been created for him here.

 

[Papa_Sasac]

Nasty piece of work.

 

[Deleted member 3807]

Scottish media bullies will be replying Antwerp guys need to see a psychologist. And probably calling them buffalo brains too. That's the standard of press and broadcasting in a tin pot dictatorship.

 

[kingstonbear]

Not seen it mentioned, but at the end he went up the tunnel with his arm round the shoulder with the Antwerp player who went off first half.

 

[Davie_Mitchell]

Ryan Kent did the same when the keeper was on the deck. He blasted it into the stand behind the goal.

 

[northsealoyal]

He will be villianised by MSM be a 40 minute segment on Snyde phone n about how barbaric and loathsome he is and capped off by a campaign to get him extradited from crimes against humanity

 

[weevlad]

"Morelos is a nasty piece of work" - pish stained jaiky Scottish Media

Class club Craigie.

They gave us a nice compliment prior to the match too.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Meanwhile, he’s probably done more for charity in the last year than most clubs, never mind players, in this country.

 

[onedadoprso.1]

I'm sure Richard Gordon will mention this on his next broadcast. Not that we'll be listening.

 

[Rangers8801]

Noticed the ref gave Alfie a wee clap when he came over to check

 

[al-bertz]

Aye but didn't you see his dive???

 

[Brother Crockett]

Not even good sportsmanship

 

[RenfrewBear72]

3 game ban cause the c*nts hammy went :shh:

 

[Disraeli]

There were a few niggles with their players in the first leg, but Antwerp seem a really classy club. Fair play to them .

 

[blue diesel]

The S.F.A will not like this, it may look like there is an agenda.!!!!
:shh:

 

[Portadown_Bear]

I'll be honest - if we had lost last night I would have been furious with Alfie.

 

[WalterSandy]

Price went up by another few mill!

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

I'll be honest - if we had lost last night I would have been furious with Alfie.

Well, I think he more than any other ensured that we didn’t PB.

 

[Super gers 1973]

Morelos is top quality in every way.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

Kieth Jackson will be asking when are they going to be punished and it was Morelos fault he pulled his hamstring because he had him running more than usual.

 

[HuggyBear]

Antwerp seem like a really decent club, nothing but praise for us from their players and the club itself

Much prefer them to Standard

Spoke to a few of their supporters on Facebook who also wished us well...they do seem like a really good sporting club and fans.

 

[Artful Dodger]

3 game ban from spfl for not trying.

 

[MDM]

If truth be known, Alfie intentionally buggered the lads hammy by making him run so fast chasing him......Europa League ban coming up on the insistence of the SFA

 

[Drewball]

Not bad for someone who's a nasty piece of work.....

Love the wee man!

 

[sammysun]

They showed him going down the tunnel after the match alongside one of the injured Antwerp players and it looked like he was checking he was OK.
The truth doesn’t fit the narrative that’s been created for him here.

I was wondering who he was talking to as he went up the tunnel?

 

[RangerInCanada]

Good for Antwerp, UEFA, etc... change the narrative on our Alfie~!

We have discussed ad nauseum here on FF how disgustingly he has been treated in Scotland.
I also realized something that is endearing about Alfie is.... he does not really want or need to be liked. Had his angry face on when Antwerp players and Ref were congratulating him for sportsmanship.
He is just a genuinely nice guy who does his thing and happy with the knowledge that he does what HE thinks is right. We support you Alfie!

 

[Timardim]

Leckie and Jackson will be raging along wi he rest of the mhiddens

 

[Blaze Of Glory]

Let's sit back and compare this to the coverage Di Canio got when he did the same when playing for the Hammers a few years ago. It will be similar I'm sure.

 

[kclarkhall]

Rangers always conduct themselves with class.

It’s just not recognised in Scotland, we are kicked up and down the pitch and treated like dirt, especially Morelos.

The boy really does deserve some amount of credit for what he’s put up with during his time here. Some of it has been his own doing but he’s been pushed to to a reaction in the majority of cases.

 

[bilkobear]

this praise wont wash with the scottish MSM

Antwerp were fairly physical on occasion, but I don't recall any sly kicks to the back of ankles ala Scottish sides, nor any dangerous out of control swipes at the ball intending to lay one on a player ala pricks like Porteous?

You get the sportsmanship you deserve I suppose.
Alfie knows the score in Scotland and reacts accordingly.

 

[L&D RSC]

Alfie getting praise like this is possibly the thing that is finally going to make the manky mobs heads actually explode, scanners style.

This season must just be like some form of Japanese torture for them, that they cannot escape from.

Bloody brilliant, aint it?

 

[SenoraCuellar]

Everyone loves Alfie except the racist , xenophobic bigots in this country. I hope the lad is delighted with this as the negativity in Scotland must get him down.

 

[Govan36]

Something you won’t see in the Scottish press.

Not even mentioned in Chris Jack Senior Rangers Writer's match report in today's Gherald.

 

[Russell]

The Bufalo is the best all round striker in my lifetime supporting Rangers. I love him...he’s got the lot.
If he scores against them @ the Piggery you’ll hear me from Donegal screaming.

 

[Bluenose1979]

To be fair, looking at Mark's back-pages thread, there are a good few positive mentions of Morelos' sportsmanship at that moment and giving him credit.

 

[Tailwind]

Aye, but he may not have shown so much sportsmanship earlier in the season and he may not show so much sportsmanship later in the season and its vital we bring up every transgression Alfie has made rather than just discussing the moment or game of relevance right now.

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Nasty piece of work was jabbing him in the ribs.

 

[JD65]

The Bufalo is the best all round striker in my lifetime supporting Rangers. I love him...he’s got the lot.

Ok Phil.

 

[norm1890]

I'll be honest - if we had lost last night I would have been furious with Alfie.

Eh
