The bar really is in the basement for certain members of society.
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.
There’s always another scouser to take his place.
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.
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.
Souness was good at one point. Plus, as shite as he is now, you still listen to him more than the other bland pundits
I thought the same. How is this commendable? "Fair play, this guy has shown he's not a bigot"
He was actually pretty bang on, when it came to social commentary. Him speaking out over the Zouma incident, the take on homesexuality in football and his discussion with Micah Richards on unconscious racial bias showed him in a good light.
That's a definite yellow card! The standards back then on what is a dangerous tackle

Harsh yellow.
Look what the other guy did to his sock.
Good riddance to the cnut
I’ll miss him. Sometimes it’s good to have a pundit you disagree with so others can prove their point better
His view on Casameiro ended his career.
drama time

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.
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.
He can no longer commentate on Pogba. And the hunter is nothing without the hunt.
Edit: just realised he is 69. Good dentist.

Making way for Lampard.
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.
Goodbye prick!
Oh aye, handsome fecker!
Graeme Souness's last game as a pundit was with Kelly Cates as the host. Here's a photo of the two of them in 1979.
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.
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.
Nah, he’s just a complete wanker.
I'm just surprised his final words were not "I'll get you next time, Pogba!! NEXT TIME!!"
Took him long enough.
I literally would turn it over before and during the match if he was there
The praise for him on here is fecking weird **** behaviour. He absolutely hates United and everything he ever said was anti-United. Which is fine, I don't mind that. But not when you're a paid 'impartial' pundit on SkySports FFS
He's insufferable for sure but I have great respect for him for his charity work.
He's an ambassador for Debra charity (Charity for people like myself that suffer with Epidermolysis bullosa) and he's done a lot of charity work, dinners, meet and greats etc. It's even more heartworming knowing how niche this condition and charity is. So for that he has my respect.

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.
Is this how Roy Kean feels to Liverpool fans ?
Yeah, actually to be fair that was a pretty good little speech and I think he meant it.
I thought he’d retired years ago and he was just there to piss everyone off?
Won't judge him as a person but he was a terrible pundit. Not just because of his incredible bias to Liverpool, but he was just so lazy, just rehashed clichés and complete lack of understanding of modern football. Was painful watching him on talksport earlier this season, Simon made him look like a complete idiot none stop.
