JamboBoy Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Is it just me or is anyone else on here appalled that the announcement of Gerrard leaving Rangers was the top story on both these programs today? Here was me thinking that Remembrance might be the top story but no Stevie Boy going to Villa tops that. We really are on the road to nowhere if this is where we are headed. I know given the tv media west coast bias I should not really be surprised but feel we must speak up on this shameful conduct. As part of this being subjected to insightful comments on the topic by the general public of Glasgow, Kenny Miller and Steven Thompson just adds to the pain of watching it. Thoughts?

Don't forget yesterday's insightful comment from Richard Guff (where did they dig him up from?). It was along the lines of " if Gerrard wants to take the Villa job he will, if he doesn't want it he will stay". Hope they didn't pay him to come out with that.
