Say what you want about him but he certainly wasn't boring. Bold in his his views although wrong 80% of the time.

Even by your standards this is a goodunSorry to hear he is retiring. Was a superb player and I enjoyed hearing his views on football. No idea why he appears to be disliked in here.
Whilst thinking Hendo is some kind of class playerThink when he called Casemiro a “steady eddy” . He showed clearly by that stupid comment he doesn’t watch much football bar Liverpool. Heard from older fans he was a good player. But way before my day so never saw him. As a pundit didn’t offer a lot.
The bar really is in the basement for certain members of society.This was one of the moments Souness shone the brightest as a pundit.

He wont be missed.
I remember him using a rape reference referring to Vidic/Torres a few years ago on RTE and the presenter shutting him down away and he had sit there in silence the rest of the show without talking. Not sure he was ever on RTE afterwards.
He was a very good player. A hard man too. Unless he was playing against Robbo.Think when he called Casemiro a “steady eddy” .

It's all Pogba's fault.Sorry to hear he is retiring. Was a superb player and I enjoyed hearing his views on football. No idea why he appears to be disliked in here.
Thats the one.
They absolutely r... Embarrassed him there
You realise Jermaine Jenas, Michael Owen, Richard Keys and Jamie Redknapp exist right? You can throw a lot at Souness but having little knowledge about the game is not one.Possibly the worst pundit of all time and that takes some doing. For a man who played at the top level for so long it’s astonishing how little he knows about the game.
I thought the same. How is this commendable? "Fair play, this guy has shown he's not a bigot"The bar really is in the basement for certain members of society.
That's a definite yellow card! The standards back then on what is a dangerous tackleIt's all Pogba's fault.
This is my favourite Souness moment.
Harsh yellow.

They're getting worse. They keep trying to have viral rants by winding up Neville, Carragher and Keane after their team loses. That stupid argument between Redknapp and Neville got millions of views (despite being an argument over nothing) and they've been featuring YouTubers more and more. Really if you want good analysis, you have to go to certain writers (Jonathan Wilson), the Athletic or some good YouTube channels like Tifo football or, again, the athletic. Sky is becoming more about engagement than actual quality.You can justify that if you're Talksport or a YouTube fan channel but you'd expect better from Sky Sports as they charge their audience a pricey subscription fee. For that kind of money you'd expect their pundits to do their research before going on-air, and maybe even offer the occasional tactical analysis, instead of continuing to employ dinosaurs like Souness so that they can go on the wind up for the bants.
That view always baffled me. I think Souness just doesn't respect achievements outside of "our league". He was dismissive of De Zerbi too. Basically anyone who hasn't done it in England has a question mark against them in his mind. Even if they've won multiple champions leagues, Souness will doubt they can cut it against Crystal Palace.His view on Casameiro ended his career.
drama time
Oh aye, handsome fecker!Souness was a lot of things, but I’ll give him one thing: he had better taste in suits than any of them. You can see he’s a vain man, but nothing wrong with that if you look good at 69.
Good riddance!!

Agree with all these.Good riddance to the cnut
Agree with all these.
A tedious, mean spirited dullard with the on screen charisma of a haemorrhoid and the technical insight of a Brexit voter judging a rap battle.
A superfluous, bitter, miserly anachronism on legs with as much to offer to the modern game as a cave person would offer to the enlightenment.
Ta-ra, dipper.

Nah, he’s just a complete wanker.This is making me think he's been playing some kind of 'performance artist' all this time, that RTE comment was unreal and summing up Bournemouth and Swansea as some Dutch game, man.
I literally would turn it over before and during the match if he was thereSouness was good at one point. Plus, as shite as he is now, you still listen to him more than the other bland pundits
“Steady Eddy” .His view on Casameiro ended his career.
