Scotland boss admits he's still not spoken to Gerrard over Rangers star's injury

Originally published at: https://www.rangersnews.uk/international/rangers-jack-scotland-clarke-gerrard/

Scotland manager Steve Clarke has acknowledged that he understands why Rangers boss Steven Gerrard was unhappy at Ryan Jack returning from international duty injured last month, putting it down to a “lack of communication” before bizarrely admitting that he’s still to speak with Gerrard about it. Gerrard was left furious when Jack returned to Ibrox…

Oh come on, another bit of scurrilous journalism. Clarke had a whole number of issues going on, like preparing his team for two important matches. The fact Scotland failed miserably in those games they played, especially against Russia when it was one of his ex-players scoring Russia’s winning goal with an OG Jack would be the the last thing in Clark’s thoughts. I am sure the last thing on his mind was to phone Gerrard. Let’s get it into perspective he must have been sick at the Russia result and he was still to prepare the squad for Belgium. I am sure the medical team or a member of his backroom staff would have been in touch with Rangers to discuss the injury and the circumstances around it. Even Gerrard knows he does not need to speak face to face with Clark, he also has a backroom team capable of dealing with an injury. Mr Black this a a typical Sun/Daily Mail gutter press story trying to cause problems or issues when there is none. It’s controversy over nothing give it a rest.

F*ck Stevie Clarke I can’t stomach that rat

He is not my favourite person either but people having a dislike for him is no excuse for garbage journalism.

Parlane that is your opinion “garbage journalism” if I wanted to make a quote on that I would have

I’m making a comment regarding the main issue of this thread which is what the thread and forum is about. The forum was not set up for people to come on and be verbally abusive and to use expletives towards individuals. Kids read these posts it’s not appropriate we should be trying to set an example and not behave in ways that supporters of other teams may behave. Can I suggest that if you want to be abusive towards anybody do it somewhere else it’s not funny, it’s not clever and it’s not usually the mindset of True Rangers supporters. All you are doing is showing yourself up.

Get lost ya idiot. I’ve never met someone so contradictory through your posts in all my puff.
If you don’t like what I write it shut your mouth if Rangers news has got a problem with it they can let me know not you

My mouth was not open I was typing. You sure you are not another Celtic Supporter in disguise? here to give all us decent Rangers supporters a bad name. The bulk of your posts are inflammatory and angry and nothing to do with Rangers, just bile about Scotland. I think you may need some counselling boy.

The usual garbage from someone that is limited …I will say it again mind your own business

If you write something with expletives and you continue to be abusive I have a right to say what I want. I will not sit back and read your bile without challenging you on it, like it or lump it it will happen whether you like it or not.

The only one that writes bile is you can’t even read a post right
Don’t come on here and think you are mister big man and think you can police the site because somebody disagrees with you .mind your own business stick to your own contradictory remarks and again mind your own business

Nope. I am calling you out for your disgusting comments, you actually have not disagreed with anything I have said. It’s your comments that are inappropriate nothing else. As for me writing bile show me the evidence. As for reading posts I assume you slagging off Clark is answering the above post, it’s primary school infantile behaviour. GROW UP.

What on earth you talking about disgusting comments. I have disagreed with everything you have said haha very limited indeed
I will say it again mind your own business.
Give it a rest Parlane

You are obviously uneducated as well as abusive.

No chance you are a big baby that can’t take confrontation and you are extremely limited and all you do in a post is either have a go at the author or another poster and as I have said you are contradictory you are that limited you can’t even see it

If someone says something I disagree with I will enter into an honest debate about the subject with the author or fellow poster and it’s always about the subject in question, that is what forums are about. They are not about coming on and randomly being abusive and using expletives, your post above makes no sense and is complete garbage. Admit it you are pathetic to come on here and use expletives when young teens are reading these forum’s. As I said it’s infantile, disgusting behaviour and you should be ashamed of yourself. I don’t view your posts as confrontation I view them as idiocy.

You are speaking garbage you came on and had a go at the author stating it was garbage journalism you didn’t address the subject matter Steve Clarke was in the subject matter and I stated I don’t like him and you agreed in fact you have agreed to quite a few of my posts
I used an asterisk in the swear word to mask it
So you are clutching at straws with contradictory garbage as I have said a million times, mind your own business

Are you stupid ? I totally addressed the subject matter by stating Clark had probably not spoken with Gerrard because of his predicament with Scotland results. I also went on to say that info would have been discussed regarding Jack’s situation by other staff probably more qualified than Gerrard in health matters for example physios and doctors. Your only comment was nothing short of abusive you have no argument. I think you need to look up the word contradictory you appear to not be able to understand its meaning, if you do can you point out what exactly it is your talking about.

What you stated was a lot of garbage it wasn’t addressing anything none of it was correct only in your own mind, contradictory garbage

That is your opinion. As I said only reason I am talking to you is your 1st post it was completely uncalled for. I have not contradicted anything I am entitled to my opinion on the authors post if you disagreed with it then form an argument (if you can) don’t just be abusive towards Clark because as I said it’s infantile playground stuff. And using the fword then saying what you did is just horrible.
