I hope Mings keeps his cool and doesn't entertain his bullshit. I am not saying he is a racist but he does have a select list of players he has had a go at in the media Pogba, Mings, Adebayor, Moise Kean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Mbappe and Neymar to that list now as well. I get what you're saying though. I think he's more just an old school miserable bastard than anything else. Alot of younger black players tend to have that " Swag " that doesn't align with this dinosaur mentality.

Props to Laura Woods, there's a lot of things I didn't know about Mings in that, wouldn't surprise me if she told him not to react but that she'd provide some balance to the narrative. Even if not, great to see him getting some of the respect he deserves, has not done anything to be dragged through the media the past week or two (year or two) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed the first Catholic for Rangers, then removed all the Irish players from Liverpool but has an Irish wife. He is a nutter For me I can think of other players he could have a go at but needs an easy target. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ming's is a good bloke who aside from outside of people maybe questioning his " Football ability " seems to be universally respected and liked. So Souness might have made a terrible judgement call here by going at him the way he has. He'll get backlash. Especially as it's unprovoked in the context. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 He just doesn't rate Mings, and he suggested that SG doesn't rate him either. Not everything is about race 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everything is about race To be fair this isn't about " rating " him as a football player, no one has any issue with that Simon Jordan and others don't really " rate " him either. It's more about him digging up unecessary petty Bollox to try and attack his character with. I also agree everything isn't about " race " and made it clear many times I hate race baiting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Souness clutching at straws trying to remain relevant in the football world so resorts to digging out players for no good reason other than his bigoted, outdated and unwanted beliefs (sadly these will be lapped up by the white van, talksport worshippers!)

Lol Personality and beyond the box expression must wind him up " Just shut up and play your football " Moise Kean was particularly shameful because he was a teenager getting racially abused at the time. There are plenty of pricks that he conspicuously has nothing to say about, some of them even work with him. In those cases of course it'd be "they have a bit of grit, and personality. I like that, it's a *sultry look* man's game". Edited August 16, 2022 by Keyblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is a dinosaur and needs putting out to pasture I can’t disagree with a word you say here - I just find it very sad that a player who in todays market at his prime would be a £100 million man, drops to these levels, he should be held in the highest esteem, unfortunately he will go down as a bitter and miserable ex - pro 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted August 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2022 Lot of talk here about Souness. Doesn't matter if you agree with him or not - he's done exactly what he is paid to do: Provoke controversy to get clicks/eyes/numbers and justify his job. Thankfully, our former captain is above all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Souness is an oxygen thief scraping a gutter press living with controversial outbursts but I do agree that Mings does talk too much, often on matters outside of football. Wish he would concentrate on his game rather than trying to become a poor man's Rashford and risk what has happened to Rashford. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do for a living, and why are you talking about stuff outside your job? Shouldn’t you concentrate on your occupation? Or is it actually fine for people to talk about things that matter to them? Which is all Tyrone has done 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(he made a huge impact) And if you don't why don't you feel the same about Mings? I really don't think Mings's form has suffered at all throughout—which can't necessarily be said about Rashford. Mings has been one of our most consistent players all through his time here. Edited August 17, 2022 by Rolta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
