"Like Kenny said we have all made mistakes in life. The best thing you can do is learn from them and move on!!
I guess 1 day the supporter will forgive you. "
"This article shouldn't be on this website. He may be sorry, but that rags name shouldn't feature on this website in any way, shape or form, its totally disrespectful to the memory of the 96, their friends and family, and Liverpool supporters generally. "
"YNWA as far as im concerned Graeme. You can do nothing more than you have and if thats not enough for some people then they should take a step back and have a long hard look at themselves."
"YNWA as far as im concerned Graeme. You can do nothing more than you have and if thats not enough for some people then they should take a step back and have a long hard look at themselves."
"GS is a legend to me for what he did for the club as a player. We, the fans, should not hold grudges for mistakes made in the past!
This bloke should be welcomed at Anfield every time he goes near the place â?? Move on.
Hillsborough should be remembered with the dignity it deserves, not remembered in association with The Rag. Walk On Souey.
"
"Souness is an Anfield legend. Loved by millions of Liverpool fans for the great player he was for the club. Okay, things didn't go so well for him as manager of LFC but he's red through and through. We all make mistakes. Souness should always be welcome at Anfield. He loves Liverpool FC. "
"We all make mistakes Graeme. The period was a very stressful time for everyone at the club and obviously the supporters were upset. You made a mistake Graeme, but your honesty and sincerity about your love of the club has never been in doubt. You were a loyal servant of the club. Time to move on YNWA"
"Better late than never Graeme. Yes yo should have known better but you wasn't the first and westill havn't seen the last to get sched up by that evil rag"
"I never have or never will doubt Souness's love for Liverpool. He wrote in that paper and it cost him his job, which is fair enough in my eyes.
I would like to know why we are even carrying a story mentioning or even from that rag? Even Everton fans boycott that rag. "
"Graeme, admitting the mistake is half the job done.... Forgiving yourself is the other half. You have done the former, now do the latter and move on with your life. We still love you. YNWA.... "
"Everyone makes mistakes Graeme, the most important thing is you realise the mistake and apologise for it. You were a fantastic footballer for this club and we know you wouldn't do something like that on purpose to hurt the friends and relatives of the 96. YNWA"
"To be fair to Graeme I watched Goals on Sunday and you could see how he is still gutted by what happened. Someone said on their post he should apologise for gutting the squad. The team he inherited only had one player "fit to play for Liverpool F.C." he admitted he did not get the quality players he wanted in the time scale. "
"I've loathed The S*n all me life. But how many of you have got Sky? Paying your subs for SKy gives Murdoch a hundred times the money he makes from the Sun. Same people, same corporation creaming it off decent working people while spreading filthy lies about them."
"It was blatantly obvious that, that newspaper had sched him up big time. They thought that article would get supporters and Merseysiders back on their side. Well they thought wrong. Souness as a player was and always will be an Anfield legend YNWA, Takes a big man to apologise and apology accepted."
"How could you NOT of known about what that RAG printed. Shame on you. But it's done now, move on. Dont buy it and tell everyone you know the same thing."
"You were forgiven Graeme and you are, its useless to dwell on the past. Its more important to look to the future and accept the things that won't be changed, we all make silly mistakes. It is how ever nice of you to let people know you regret talking to these Liars."
"Souness was one of my faves growing up and will always be a Liverpool legend in my eyes. What a player. Not your fault and I doubt many have ever blamed you here."
"he was a great player a took over the team and made changes to quick but we all make mistakes like torres wil find out ,souness still supports liverpool so we should just move on all the yrs later as he,s appoligised to the familys"
"Time to move on.. Forgive and forget the Sun newspaper is like a vulture waiting to twist and even make up anything concerning our Fans, Team and Club.. souness was a great footballer for our Club and that we will never forget, we all make Mistakes even Big ones like this.. YNWA"
"Souness was a Liverpool great he should true heart and style for us in midfield. He wouldnt be the first manager to be stiched up by the grubby london press. Apology accepted Graeme,your a Liverpool supporter ,your one of us.YNWA. Wouldnt want you back as mansger though lol!!"
"every day some celebrity is set-up by that trash. the only way is that no-one buys it! the tuesday-wednesday thing is bull though. they knew what they were doing. they got ya, like they do. cant live without ruining lives. you cme out and walk on the pitch. you will get the reception a legend deserves im sure"
"Reading these comments makes me proud to be a Liverpool supporter. Souness was a great player and hes apologised for a mistake that ultimately cost him his job.You must have been in mental torment since that article, and we have all suffered enough. It time to move on now, get behind the team and welcome a superb ex player back in to our family. YNWA graeme."
""It was blatantly obvious that, that newspaper had stiched him up big time. They thought that article would get supporters and Merseysiders back on their side. Well they thought wrong. Souness as a player was and always will be an Anfield legend YNWA, Takes a big man to apologise and apology accepted." "
"It takes a very big man to apologise in public.
Well done Souey, all is forgiven by me, hope everybody else feels the same. Now get behind your pal Dalglish!!"
"Making an error is not a sin, not learning from it is. Graeme has learned from that mistake as it seems he's carried the hurt with him ever since. He's been big enough to apologise, us fans should be big enough to forgive. However it's the families who suffered loss that really deserve the apology as well as the right to accept it or not. YNWA"
"We all make mistakes. I despise that rag of a paper. I always make a point to 'accidentally' cover it with another tabloid when i am in the supermarket. Not that many people buy it round our way. Any true Liverpool supporter would never read that rubbish pathetic mindless idiotic s toilet paper of a newspaper."
"love souness i firmly believe graham when he says how much he regrets this. the s newspaper done him up i think. i hope all liverpool supporters can fogive graham especialy all the families effected in this horrible tradgedy that still effects me every day.WE ARE LIVERPOOL.YNWA"
"When it comes to the press its easy to say the wrong thing or get your picture in at an inopitune time, and for that im sure your forgiven by most liverpool supporters, its what you did to the team as its trusted custodian thats the crime and until we win the EPL you will never be forgiven. LFC YNWA"
"Souness, you will not be forgiven for two things at least: firstly, the things that you felt sorry after almost 20 years.
Secondly, you destroy Liverpool who turn a championship winning team into a team that not winning the championship for 20 years. You are the manager to blame most.
You should not be forgiven at all. "
"Having said you wont be forgiven for distroying the team under your management, as a player you were immense and should there for be welcomed at Anfield for that. Were not all KD and times have changed so Souey hold your head up high YNWA
LFC YNWA"
"Even if it wasn't published on the anniversry and was publish months before or after, it was still wrong. Doing the interview all together was wrong. The decision to publish it on the anniversry was their's though, and shows how little they care, and was a lack of sensitivity.
He should have known the feelings though. The club should make all employees aware when they arrive."
"the man's apolgised whole heartedly for something a paper sched him with.lets not forget the player in all this.was brilliant for us and was also kennys minder!!! graeme, ynwa."
"souness.you made a mistake.your man enough to come out and say sorry.we no deep down you love this club well come back.what a player.hope to see you on liverpool tv soon,,,,,"
"The fact is a big part of this mess we are in was your FAULT, ripping a great team a part and selling our best players was a a big crime to LFC, you wanted to build a team to claim all the credit for, you were looking for personal glory, if its aint broken, dont fix it, as a manager you are a black mark in our history. "
"The worst thing Liverpool ever done was to make Sourness manager. I have been going to anfield since 1963. He ripped apart a great team to make his own getting rid of seven first teamers.
Since his reign Liverpool have never really recovered."
"Come on reds, he's apologised. He knows he made a mistake and has said sorry. He cant turn back time and undo what happened although if he could he would. He was a great player for us and his heart is red. Lets forgive and forget."
"Well,I suppose that only the dead don't make mistakes.And to everyone saying that the name of the sun shouldn't be mentioned in our site,how should it be mentioned in this article? "I accept I made one almighty rick by doing the-you-know-which-newspaper",Harry-Potter-style with Voldemort?We're not 13-year-olds.
"
"great player,but a rubbish manager,he should also be apologising for ruining our football club.Maybe all this is because he wants to walk back into the club his mate The King is now managing FANTASTICLY."
"Kelvin Muckenzie and Puppet Murdoch should be jailed and the key thrown away..they are sc#m..it's difficult to forgive Souey for THAT 'story' but having lost someone from my area at Hillsborough..I feel the last thing they would want was for LFC fans not to forgive a man who was a legendary player for LFC and who has now apologised. YNWA "
"Also - his poor record as manager should not come into this debate about Hillsborough and the Sc#m ragpaper...it's on a different level of debate completely....YNWA"
"
Don't worry Graeme. it is all in the past, leave it there. You were a great player and a great Captain.
Go and have dinner with Kenny and talk about the future."
"Souness was one of the best midfielders we ever had -I think his time as a manager tarnishes the memory of that but he didn't succeed as a manager because the players at the time didn't share his passion for the club"
"With Dalglish at the helm, Sammy Lee at his side, Souness and other ex-Reds in the news of late, it's starting to feel like my childhood again. Respect."
"never forget what this man did as a player for our club, he made mistakes as a manager, not the first and wont be the last to do that, i for one would love to see him invited on to LFC TV to talk about his love for the club "
"Liverpool supporters are renowned for their love of ex players who have given everything for the cause. You were certainly ast that list Graeme, we all make mistakes. No supporter has ever doubted your love or commitment to LFC and you will always be welcomed by true supporters who had the privelidge to watch you play. Time to move on, you have shown respect to the families. YNWA Graeme"
"Everyone is saying he got rid of a great team. You need to watch the programme and wise up. Most of the "great team" were at the end of their contracts and had other offers for four years. They saw the £ signs and Souness ed them off for the same reasons KK did with Nando"
""You should not be forgiven at all."
No, Souey's apologised publically, well done. He was at the heart of some of the best things we ever done, a brilliant player. Yes, he changed too much too fast as manager, but maybe a few players WERE getting complacent and a shake up was needed. He failed but he tried. Doesn't take away the fact he was a brilliant reds player. "
"Lots of good comments, I think Sounness is genuinely sorry and it is time to forgive as someone said he was not the first or the last to get done over by that deable apology for a newspaper. YNWA Graeme"
"How many times must a man say he's sorry before we accept him back into the family that is Liverpool fc. If a man says sorry to me and i think he means it i take his hand and shake it"
""There is no one who hurts more than me whenever the Hillsborough thing is mentioned."
Yea Souey, tell that to the faces of the 96 families who lost their loved ones on that day >("
"Souey got it wrong, he is sorry & admits his mistake.
Those who cannot accept it, I ask did you never do something wrong & want to put right?
Its sad that 1 of our greatest ever players has to keep away from the club he loves most.
I was in the Lepping Lane that day & I forgive you."
"Wise words from a wise man. Repent and you be forgiven. Be proud and it will be forgotten forever. This is what I think as Finnish supporter of the club.."
"The man made a big big mistake but that what it is a mistake. As for the Rag it plunged to new depths during that period never forgiven.
But most importantly we will never forget the people men women and children who we lost that day and remember their families and friends of those effected so to everyone with deepest respect including Souness YNWA"
"No its NEVER to late I was there on that day I dragged a limp person from the carnage onto the pitch to this day I dont know they were if they lived or not I have lived with that to this day I walked away with my life 96 did not. it took me untill last year to have the courage to attend my first memorial service, and face the familys you can always forgive but never FORGET THE 96. "
"GRAEME HAS APOLOGISED AND I BELIEVE HIM TO BE SINCERE .UNLIKE THAT RAG THAT TO THIS DAY SULLY THE NAMES AND MEMORIES OF THE 96.AND UNLIKE THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT STILL HAS NOT SHOWN ANY JUSTICE FOR THE 96."
"Souness is a true red through and through. Not only was he, in my opinion, the greatest ever liverpool player, his troubles as our manager hurt him as much as the fans! We all make mistakes but liverpool fc are a family and souness is one of ours."
"Takes a man to admit he,s was wrong so i forgave you Souness.But for that RAG i cant forgive,i live in IRELAND and i got our local shop to stop selling this RAG."
"Graeme, thats life mate, we all make mistakes. At least you have been man enough to admit to them, and thank you for this. You wull always be a legend as a player at this club, you were an amazing playing, and wish we had someone like you today. YNWA."
"You were a great player. You made a terrible decision. Until accountability is officially given to the cause of that dark dark day the wounds will remain open. If you really were sorry, then do something positive about it, and use your status to re-lobby the powers that be to bring about justice. "
"i'm a scot so maybe i feel for souness, but what a club he was part of and as a player look at the success he help bring to this magnificent insution, he was stupid to think he could trust that paper and i'm sure he wishes he could have his time again. Kenny Dalglish you ear the King"
"As an LFC player you were immense, but I'm afraid as manager you destroyed the whole fabric of the club,not just the bootroom.The slating Rafa has had over his poor signings,yet they could never get near the dross you signed! "
"i watched the interview ,and have to say the man said and made a lot off sence ,forgive and forget,allways a liverpool GREAT.so dont forget it.
GREAME SOUNESS you legend "
"Graeme as a player you were awesome and for that we will always hold you in high regard. However you set about the dismantling of this club with your management reign and your stupidness in dealing with that rag is a stain which although forgive will mark you too.
Back the club, the supporter's and learn humility from the family's who lost part of their lives at Hillsbrough. "
"Listen Graeme I forgive you and I think almost all L.F.C fans do and already have. You are and always will be to me and 100's of thousands a great L.F.C footballer. Support the club and carry on. 1000000% of the blame for Hillsborogh lies with sun and the police. The truth is coming."
"He's a legend in my eyes and in the top 10 of my all time liverpool greats ..He won an awful lot trophies with us..who we are to forgive u,,just forgive ur self and u will be fine..We all Love u Graeme"
"Graeme, I believe you are sorry and I think that should be the end of the matter. Let's remember the great times you gave our club, and all those trophies you helped us win! It takes a big man to say sorry.YNWA"
"ON A LIVE RADIO ROADSHOW IN IRELAND LAST WEEK HE SPOKE FOR AN HALF AN HOUR HE SPOKE MAINLY ABOUT LIVERPOOL.HE REGRETTED THE SUN INTERVIEW AND HIS RASHNESS OF CHANGING THE SQUAD SO QUICK AS MANAGER.GOOD AND HONEST INTERVIEW,NEWSTALK.IE"
"One hell of a mess and Souness is right to apologise. I hope not for the first time since 92. I accept his sincerity witnessed by others. At a time when Kenny has called for unity we should embrace the apology. Souness place is within our fold as one of our greatest captains ever. I disgree with him on much but I'm glad we are his team!"
"What kind of Stalinism is it that says The Sun cannot be mentioned on this site? Of course it's a rag and shall forever be remembered for the lies that were told. But how can the story of Hillsborough and its aftermath be told if people are forbidden from even mentioning the name of that newspaper?"
"Not a big fan of yours and never will but we all make mistakes so i accept your apology,but why now when we are doing well with kenny i think your just jelaous of the king and craving some attention.still havent grown up your major problem"
