Link? Hope he didn't

Don't panic Lauders. He's hardly likely to suggest any of the others are capable of catching us.

i never like hearing these things from our players. let their players do their talking off the park while we concentrate our efforts on the park. i know he was probably led into an answer on this question but he's been here long enough to know the script

I'm sure Ally will tell him to wind his neck in a bit, even if he is right.

You going to the night out tonight smellyglove?

not allowed to talk about that irvine, he doesnt like it, we're only allowed to talk about what smelltheglove likes

you not gna show your face for a few amigo?

Thanks for asking Keny but I don't go out on school nights. Hope you guys have a good time.

Jelavic in the Bag - says Pardew

Does that mean Pardew has gone off the idea of the £7m rated Gary Hooper Zico?

Hooper is rated at £29M.

Got to agree with lauders,rather not hear that from the players at this stage,though there's usually a touch of arrogance in the big man's interview's. Think he's at the wind up here

Zico,surely if ye knocked back a bid like that for him he's worth more? Should maybe just round it up to the thirty or forty

Did anyone bother to read what Jelavic actually said?

"Of course, we need to stay in first place but the 12-point lead we have over Celtic should be enough to keep us there."

He says it 'SHOULD' be enough to keep Rangers top.

He never says it WILL be enough or it IS enough to win us the league.

And he most certainly doesnt say the title is 'in the bag'.

Hes stating the obvious - Rangers shouldnt blow a 12 point lead. Thats not to say they wont though.

all the same coach i would rather they didn't talk about the lead over celtic etc although i know that will never happen

Jelavic is worth £9M (Bid from er....)
Hooper £29M - Bid from Alpha Centurai Thistle
Kayal £40M - Bid from Arcturus Utd.
Izagurrie £60M - Bid from Poltergeist III
Wanyama £80M - Bid from my dream last night

coach

havent read the interview, what paper is it in?

Stiil think our players should not be giving inteviews.

The league is pretty dull at the moment (other than for Rangers fans)

The press will grab and twist.

its not worth winding up the opposition

If ye get a bid fae LB-426, I'd advise ye tae accept it. They don't mess aboot on that planet

the duke

never ceases to amaze me how things can be taken by people, as well as the press.

lennon said he would have a team for europe and one for the spl, and people think that means 2 completely different squads not a change in formation and 1 or 2 changes in the side

the lennon hated at ibrox thing bothered me, particularly after last year it was the last thing anyone needed, and more insulting to rangers than celtic imo

"If ye get a bid fae LB-426, I'd advise ye tae accept it. They don't mess aboot on that planet"

Nice `Alien' quote neebur.
Ian Black's fae that planet.

=========

The press at there worst Im affraid.

I felt this was more a slur on Rangers than Celtic and why we didnt complain Im not sure.
Celtic were correct to complain about it stirring hatred but Rangers should also have done so

thought they presented is the old firm with an oppertunity to show unity, and point the finger at the media in this country.

Albeit some words may be twisted, but they can't if you avoid hinting at them. Always had a bit of pride ib our players press statements. Very few samaras or commons lines. Would much rather it remained that way. However, he's right, it would be seen as a failure if we did not go on to win the league from this position.

Ok the lead is 12pts. If we win our game in hand its 9. With around 20 games to play, including 3 of games, its still possible. However we do look more likely to drop points than rangers at the moment. Hopefully over next month we can get players back and have a more settled first team, and get a centre half in during January!
