They probably asked him to express a view - coming from a guy like Soureness - a lad- might be food for thought for some of those bigots out there. Still, even when he tries to do good he sounds like a twat. I'm not gonna go into it, I'm only saying it feels forced. I could be wrong though I just dislike that person.I thought the same. How is this commendable? "Fair play, this guy has shown he's not a bigot"
Yeah, actually to be fair that was a pretty good little speech and I think he meant it.This was one of the moments Souness shone the brightest as a pundit.

Not seen this before and surprised me (that he went to Pride). Gone up in my estimation. When he was good with his punditry, he was actually usually sport on. When he was bad, we might have well been listening to Donald Duck!Yeah, actually to be fair that was a pretty good little speech and I think he meant it.
He likened a tackle Son made to martial arts if I remember right.Keys basically saying (via people he knows at Sky) he was fired for making the "Man's game" comment earlier in the season and his continued punditry would indicate he has not retired. Reckon's Martin Tyler could be in the firing line for his comments about Son (I don't know what he said).
Ahh. Watch this space for a Tyler announcement if he's deemed surplus.He likened a tackle Son made to martial arts if I remember right.
MineIt's all Pogba's fault.
This is my favourite Souness moment.
I'd take that with a large dose of salt. Keys is a self-serving twat who loves to peddle a conspiracy theory, especially if it helps his hard-done-by narrative.Keys basically saying (via people he knows at Sky) he was fired for making the "Man's game" comment earlier in the season and his continued punditry would indicate he has not retired.

How Keys feels hard done by is hilarious. Clips of him making horrible cringe worthy comments, "did you smash it?", "bet you were hanging out the back of it" and suchlike.I'd take that with a large dose of salt.

Honestly lucky to have got out of there in one pieceMine
Wasn’t he shagging his daughter’s friend while his wife had cancer? I don’t think shame is one of his two emotions.How Keys feels hard done by is hilarious. Clips of him making horrible cringe worthy comments, "did you smash it?", "bet you were hanging out the back of it" and suchlike.
Man should be absolutely embarrassed.
DinosaurSky Sports forced to apologise for Graeme Souness' racist comments
Souness labelled Lamela's behaviour at half-time on the Sky Sports show as "pathetic" and "very Latin"
Never forget.
Tries to incite a riot at a Turkish derby, but then goes into full Karen mode during our anti Glazer protest. "I could have been seriously injured by United fan who threw an empty beer can". Poor Graeme.Mine

I think the only United player he respected was Robson, because he was superior.His combined United/dippers XI the other day just confirmes what a biased and deluded scouse cnut he is.
I'd say it's extremely impressive.Graeme Souness: Football legend to swim English Channel for charity
Punditry and tribalism aside, that is a quite impressive act at age 70. Good on him.
Yeah, I remember him talking about homophobia during his playing days and how he had learned a lot by attending some pride events. He's definitely not all bad.I'd say it's extremely impressive.
To be honest, shite footballing takes aside, Souness seems like a fairly good bloke.
I mean it was like 2018, not 2008, he's a bit late to the party.Yeah, I remember him talking about homophobia during his playing days and how he had learned a lot by attending some pride events. He's definitely not all bad.
Better than nothing. Many people his age are completely stuck in their ways and refuse to evolve. It was a good move to speak openly about how things used to be, and how he got smarter.I mean it was like 2018, not 2008, he's a bit late to the party.
I think it's just good PR tbh.Better than nothing. Many people his age are completely stuck in their ways and refuse to evolve. It was a good move to speak openly about how things used to be, and how he got smarter.
Meh. Generally speaking, if we want to move forward we can't be that negative and cynical towards the people that might be a bit late to the party or whatever. In my opinion, he's done a positive thing by speaking openly about it on television - he might even have moved a few people his own age a bit. No reason to take a shit on that.I think it's just good PR tbh.
Eh? Souness was best friends with the very openly gay Dale Winton for decades before that.I mean it was like 2018, not 2008, he's a bit late to the party.
I think that’s overselling it a bit.Eh? Souness was best friends with the very openly gay Dale Winton for decades before that.
The first black player for Liverpool (Howard Gayle) noted in his autobiography that he suffered racist abuse from his own teammates with the notable exception of... Graeme Souness, who defended him to the hilt.
Souey may be a bitter Scouse bastard, but he was sticking up for minorities back when racism and homophobia were considered the norm. He'd be cool if he wasn't a Scouser.
No he wouldn't. A lot of scousers are at least capable of acknowledging the Glazers are bad owners.He'd be cool if he wasn't a Scouser.

I talked about this charity work earlier in the thread. He's been working with Debra for years without much noise. As someone that suffers from EB and has worked with Debra, this TV appearance was a genius move because the charity had been trying hard to get info about the condition out but always failed. It seems to have finally got the message across.I shall put aside all cynicism at the timing of his charitable effort following his departure from Sky…
