If only Glen's tackling was as hard and his passing as accurate as his assessment of Merson.

Why doesn't he tell twitter about the press gagging order he's got that we're not supposed to no about?

From some interview with the guy who runs the Empire of the Kop fan site:

Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
@kennethdalglish @pauldalglish @kellycates @marinadalglish @laurendalglish @lyndseydalglish The entire Dalglish family.
All he needs is four or five more followers.

Jody Morris is on twitter. I'm sorry world.

isn't house rubbish and Pete W mental (Pete W), Wednesday, 2 February 2011 12:06 (thirteen years ago) link

Jody Morris is quite amusing on Twitter though. Compared to some dull footballers anyway. He does seem a bit obsessed with Tool Academy though.

ailsa, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 12:20 (thirteen years ago) link

I have started following loads of sad-sack rubbish SPL footballers. Graham Carey is the dullest man on earth, btw, closely followed by Joe Ledley.

ailsa, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 12:22 (thirteen years ago) link

Is Morris really okay? I have never really forgiven him for pissing a genuine talent up the wall and leading that nice young man John Terry astray...

isn't house rubbish and Pete W mental (Pete W), Wednesday, 2 February 2011 12:23 (thirteen years ago) link

I've got no idea if he's actually OK or not, he seems to just laugh at his old Chelsea mates and talk about Tool Academy all the time, and big up the St Johnstone twitter massive. @morriskid if you want to see for yourself. I only started following him because a mate of mine retweets some of his more amusing comments from time to time.

Agree about the talent-pissing, is weird to see him being average in an average SPL team.

ailsa, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 12:29 (thirteen years ago) link

Wasn't Morris accused of being a bit rakey in the dim and distant?

my Bébé just cares for me (onimo), Wednesday, 2 February 2011 12:32 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, that's where it all started going wrong for him iirc.

ailsa, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 12:34 (thirteen years ago) link

Booze issues, not sure anything else, though wouldn't really surprise me. He got into a fair few scraps.

Bloody hell, forgotten he'd been at Leeds.

I am also now following Michael Duberry and wallowing in nostalgia for what might have been

Now, where's Andy Myers?

Be sure to check out Michael Duberry's online clothing store for toddlers

Inspector Anthony Slade, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 13:09 (thirteen years ago) link

Duberry's twitter is really boring, completely obsessed with driving conditions/traffic levels between Perth and Glasgow and the carpark at Braehead (presumably when he's going to Nandos all the time).

btw, I have a mate who spells it Kristefer, which is even worse.

Liverpool prodigy Jonjo Shelvey's Twitter account has been suspended after he posted a picture of his penis. "Apologies for the picture, one of my mates messing around with my phone! Sorry!" tweeted Shelvey, moments before his short social media-horrifying career was prematurely curtailed.

Hope Kenny wasn't following him at the time.

Michael Duberry, Jody Morris and the usually-quite-funny Cillian Sheridan were having a terrible #turnoffs conversation for most of last night, mostly aimed at women who drink pints, play pool, listen to rap and gamble. Mostly also consisting of Duberry RTing all of Sheridans comedy efforts. Filled my entire feed for about two hours as well.

No I meant Le Tissier does something progressively more awful every time you post in here about it! I don’t want to see what’s next.

Why turn the replies off?

You don’t like hearing the truth.

Hearing the feedback.

Commie cowards.

Stop forcing your Woke, Racist nonsense on us.

DEI and Affirmative Action is failing.

Failing badly.

It’s doesn’t work.
