Brendan Rodgers

[EwarWoo]

He's not comparing them though is he. He's using Suarez as an example of a player who gets away with playing on the edge.

Wasn't even in the same breath, it was a new sentence

Context, agendas etc.

Leigh Griffiths, Celtic's striker, has drawn remarkable comparisons from Rodgers.

He said: “Leigh plays on the limit, as a number of our boys do. That’s what you want as a coach and a manager.

“If he had a different name – a more Latino name – this guy would be talked about as being worth 15 million quid, for sure. Luis Suarez played on edge and he was alright.”

Leigh Griffiths is a ****ing walloper and Rodgers wants a smack for daring to mention him in the same breath as Suarez.

However - we'd have walked it if Rodgers could set up a defence.

Impossible to say. If he'd have set-up defence we might have scored less and still finished in the same position but had much less fun in the process.

I enjoyed it far too much to spend too much time on what if's. Happy to let it stand as it was.

Proper nutty score 1 more football

Honestly dunno how anyone can dislike the guy who gave us that. Glad he went, but glad he was here too

I think it's rewriting history a bit to say it was entirely due to Suarez that we had a good run but it was certainly why he got closer than anyone else.

And that's from someone who has no animosity and wishes him well. I'll always have fond memories of him for that season.

Agreed, far too simplistic to write it off as just Suarez having an amazing season.

Came closer to winning the league for us than anyone else in the last 26 years.

I'm starting to warm to him again now he doesn't manage the team I support. He still needs to watch his annoying overuse of the word 'outstanding' someone get the man a Thesaurus. He used it twice in the interview I saw. It's a good result Brendan, it's not outstanding.

He seems a decent enough guy, was just a step too far for him here. Did he best to sound and look the part which was cringeworthy alright. I don't mind him at all, glad he doesn't manage us though. Think he'll do ok at Celtic.

[Roboklopp]

Don't reckon many "hate" him, just find him a bit annoying & silly. Let's not go overboard here, it's tedious & divisive.

[Buzzo]

He is outstanding value.

[baitman]

I don't hate him at all but he's very easy to take the piss out of.

great comedy value, now he isnt our leader :shudders:

[kev776]

I don't get the Rogers hatred - weird

[Buzzo]

Was a huge goal that against decent opposition. They were under the cosh on times but done very well to get the draw. Don't really get the hatred of Brendan, he talks a bit of **** alright but he seems a decent bloke. I think he'll do well up there, hope he does anyways.

Are those results from recent seasons? Some good results there if so.

Yep all in the last 12 months.
