Some good stories in there and he comes across a great guy but by %^*& he is shocking at speaking. Big gaps in between every 3 words made the interview drag like hell
Possibly helps because Ferry has been part of dressing rooms and knows what goes on and off the parkferry gets a lot of stick/jokes about his questions but they work a treat and get players to tell you stuff you actually want to hear while putting them at ease, not the usual repetitive stuff u hear off players after matches etc
Both wastersOne thing and one thing only, Northern Ireland.
If he's English or Welsh, he doesn't get anywhere near as much admiration.
Lafferty: 0.27 goals per game.
Windass: 0.26 GPG
One loved, the other slated.
It's commonplace with Kyle Lafferty to read about him referred to as a 'daft boy.'
So what? A huge percentage of footballers are 'daft boys'. It gets highlighted with Kyle in a negative light because he played for Rangers. With a daftie like Thumbheid he's a lovable rogue - " What is he like?" - or a victim of mental health issues.
Kyle Lafferty could have done more with his career - so could a lot of players - but he did enough and has the medals and memories to prove it.
I had to turn it off halfway through because of this. He had some good stories and came across well, but f*ck me, he takes about 40 seconds in real-time to make a point that could be said with a couple of words. Not the clearest speaker either.
Away to post the same. 40 minutes in and I'm bored listening to it.He’s a terrible speaker. Dragged on massively because of that.
Nobody who's still there is going to speak up mate..get realNot having that. 99% of the interviews you see from players say that SG is a fantastic man manager, has high standards and can go through you when needed but is fair with it. Only time you see it to the contrary is from players who are no longer part of the plans or seem to need a cuddle/constant re-assurance.

I haven't personally met anyone either who thinks that about Griffiths but I think that the media are very indulgent towards his 'antics'. I certainly haven't read or heard any criticism - only mitigation - except on here.I haven't met many people (anyone) who thinks Griffiths is a 'loveable rogue'.
Laff has the mental age of a teenager, and it shows. I don't wish him ill, quite the opposite but he is pretty typical of your modern day footballer and, in some respects, sums up why I have given up on the game.
He’s back on tonightHe seems a good guy but it’s very hard listening to his stories. He’s not the best speaker.
Polar opposite to Andy Halliday who I could probably listen to all day
Lafferty not realized how ridiculous it was to bet 250k on himself succeeding at Hearts? Crazy
I checked the dates. Would have been months after his 23k fine from the FA. I just can't comprehend still making even informal bets like this after a fine like that. Hope he's in a better place now.Well that's what mental gamblers do I guess lol
I am not sure anyone can say watching the last 2 years Gerrards man management is anything bar shambolic, it is a testament to certain players they have carried on and got better while being thrown under the bus at every opportunity.
As for Laff, Idiot who gave us some good times and who messed up not one but two opportunities to be a player for us.
I don't think he has the brains to realise how much he has messed up his career, it will hit him like a lightening bolt when he is skint and on his arse 18 months after retiring.
Could have condensed that interview in to a half hourHe’s a terrible speaker. Dragged on massively because of that.
can't see SG's ego letting him just be the face..I listened and like big Wes a get impression SG is not the best guy to be around he seems distant from the lads which doesn't seem good for the team spirit a little strange if truth be told this is few times we hear it's all Michael Beale.
Is the gaffer just the face.

Halliday class as always on this, can see him getting a permanent gig with Si
Interesting on this Halliday says Lafferty was 2hrs late for his 1st game back in his 2nd stint at Rangers. Things like that won't have done him any favours with Gerrard.
He's the manager, not their mate. It's becoming even clearer why we're unable to win trophies when players are upset by the manager being "distant".
Are people honestly calling a big tumshie who was paid several grand a week 'staunch' and then making excuses for him not applying himself?
No, 'staunch' is giving 100% for the club you are privileged to represent. Not going missing for half a season.
Could you imagine SAF being mates with the team?He's the manager, not their mate. It's becoming even clearer why we're unable to win trophies when players are upset by the manager being "distant".
I think there’s a balance to be found and Gerrard needs to make sure he finds it and quickly, listening to Wes and others I won’t lie and say I am not slightly concerned by what I am hearing. But I’ll keep on topic, Kyle is just a stupid boy who may or may not regret his choices in lifeCould you imagine SAF being mates with the team?
The way it should be
He knew Ojo was dross, the whole management team did, that’s why he just disappeared.yes, Ojo played every week virtually for the first few months despite it being obvious from the get go technically he was murder, couldn’t trap a ball or pass. Others were bombed out for the slightest mistake. Katic another example of getting thrown under a bus.
Barker getting games as a sub despite being a junior footballer and is still loved by the management team. Paterson getting bombed out after his first game etc etc Jones bombed out. Kent having one shit game after another. Hagi anonymous nearly every week yet played wide/inside right
The players aren’t daft.
No doubt gonna get slated for this but Lafferty is Lafferty. If Gerrard didn't know what he was getting he never done his homework. Not using him and not keeping him was stubborn and moronic, a waste of resources. If the management would stop wasting these resources we would be closer to them. Walter used Lafferty correctly. We still haven't got Dykes in, and he's quite clearly what we need. Gerrard and Beale on a crusade to do things their way instead of doing things the winning way has cost us a lot, and will cost us more. Say that as a fan for the progression they've made but I'm not interested in being runners up for 20 years.
I thought it was a bit boring to be honest. Not a patch on Halliday’s.
