Said West Ham have handled the whole situation badly from day one. That if he was his manager he wouldn’t have kicked a ball again for West Ham this season. Also expressed his anger at the incident, not only the initial abuse of the cat but the fact that by putting it on social media he obviously thought people would find it entertaining.

Aside from the ‘wouldn’t play again all season’ part (too harsh imo) I fully agree. If he’d been suspended immediately it would have gone away.
 
In my opinion, his career is over in the UK. Football fans in general are quite unforgiving. He will be booed every time he takes to the field, probably forever. His club and teammates will eventually tire of it and he will be gone abroad somewhere.
 
Souness is talking shite the player should have received a club ban for a load of games but if his job was on the line and let's say Ian Rush had done it when he was Liverpool manager he'd have wanted him back to save his skin.

As was Keane but also a thug.
Souness also vilified in Liverpool after Hillsborough
Him passing moral judgement on others sticks in my craw.
At no time have I supported Zouma or his brother, who are poor excuses for human beings.

Harsh and naive. A club paying 100k+ pw to a player are going to want vfm and will no doubt wait for the dust to settle and 'lessons have been learned'. They want him to play is the bottom line- finding the right way of doing that is what they've f'ed up.

Yep. That’s (sort of) what I was saying. They’ve made it worse by not acting.
 
Talks a lot of bollocks most of the time but was a class player with a nasty streak. Whereas Keane was just nasty. Check out Souness when he was manager of Galatasary and runs on the pitch with their flag( it’s on YouTube ). If you go on holiday to Turkey and talk to any of their fans they love him
 
You can tell who the manc supporters are they just can't help it they have a obsession with anything to do with Liverpool and their opinions are driven by it .Something happens to people that support that club it's like they catch a virus .All the plastic mancs on my FB never stop going on about Liverpool they need help
 
Got to know Souness quite well when we lived in Mallorca in the 80’s, just after leaving Sampdoria to join Rangers, did a lot of work on his apartment in Cala Viñas, then on his villa in Son Vida. He was rather quietly spoken away from the limelight, his calf muscles were like lumps of iron! used to have a game of pool after work in his games room, where he displayed shirts he’d swapped with the likes of, Platini, Cruyff, De Boer brothers et al. Great memories.

Made me think about my views on people I've never met. Might stop me shooting before I look. Not his biggest fan, but happy to respect, or not his football opinions, but this is about non-football behaviour which is indefensible (and I don't even like cats) . For the record I've not met Keane, but there is nothing that would make me like him, which I understand looks contrary but isn't.

Sourness was at Middlesbrough the same time as a certain Gary Briggs.

Both left in 1978.

I had a verbal spat with sour face Souness back in the late 70’s in Blackpool. He backed down quickly when I made it obvious that if he wished to step outside to continue the conversation I was more than willing. If his ugly mug comes on tv I have a chuckle then switch channel.🤣
