Ronnie Whelan

[G]

It's not just that. He was slating Benitez for years before he left. Benitez got closer to winning the league than any other manager over the last 20 years.

He should just keep his mouth shut. He hasn't a ****ing clue.

Oh I agree, he was very vocal against Rafa, as was Aldridge with monotonous regularity in his Sunday world column.

I think the problem is that whelan is always on rte here. So I see and hear him a lot more that Aldo. He just really gets on my tits!

[Frenchie]

He should **** off back to Cyprus and marry the 18 year old he knocked up



er....allegedly

Whelan is a knob and has a **** haircut

Cracking player though....

Was he really though or did he benefit from having cracking players around him?

Plus, his goal agains Russia in euro 88"was a fluke. Came off his shin .

No he was a ****ing cracking player

In Paisleys autobiography back in the 80's he said he was the most underrated player he'd seen during his time at the club

Whelan made the 87-90 sides tick imo

Oh he definitely had superb players around him, but nobody played in those teams of ours on anything other than merit imo. Whelan could definitely play football, every great side needs players like he was.

Was it bollocks, epic strike that was

One thing I do remember him doing though was scoring the best own goal I've ever seen for (against) us v ManU when he lobbed Grobbelaar from about 30 yards.

Can't find that OG on youtube. But I did find this rather lovely strike instead....

Good player for us back in day.......**** manager, **** opinions, his ManU love is free to blossom these days and rarely passes up the opportunity to unfairly criticise us, even during our 2nd place finish season.

Beyond **** co-commentator as well..........won't ever backtrack on his view about an incident even with evidence right in front of his face contradicting him, and displays an incredible lack of understanding about how a game is played out.

what a team that was... what an era...

There's no doubt about what he gave us back in the day, but in the here and now, if you had to talk football with an ex-Red for the evening, Whelan is right down the bottom of the list (and that would even be if you were talking about his time at Liverpool, which he would probably somehow devalue in his own way - this is a fella who can commentate on any game of the weekend, and turn it into a slagging session about Liverpool)
