chris club keen remains
We are very keen that Chris remains at the club and, hopefully, this can be achieved.
bit club fair vision
We're a fair bit off the vision I have for the club that's for sure,
club dignified man manages response ryan size
That wasn't a dignified response from the man who manages a club the size of Rangers, was it Ryan Wilson, Renfrew, said:
club fitness loves motivation next roy
I think I will have Roy next season. He loves it at the club and I can't see him leaving. It's just fitness that counts. Fitness, speed, motivation -- if you've got that then fine.
america beginning catch club country couple games last matches maybe missed recently travelled
When you look at the games he's played, it's no real surprise. He's not missed many matches for club or country over the last couple of years and, when you look back to those games he travelled to America for recently with Bulgaria, maybe it's just all beginning to catch up with him now.
best chris club granted huge lose move obviously player wish
It is obviously a huge disappointment to lose a player of Chris's quality. The club has granted Chris his wish to move on and I would like to wish him all the best for the future.
adorned anybody bit clubs everybody figure former gradually known loved loving memory noose particular people presence problem pushed quite rather round scary weighs worship
His presence will always be here, ... But I don't think he would like to be known as a figure that weighs heavily on everybody else. I think he'd like to say 'well, I've done my bit, you get on with your bit now'. The place is adorned with his pictures, which is quite right. But I've been to some clubs where it (the memory of a former great) can be a noose round your neck. It's not such a big problem here. He's well loved rather than worshipped. I think loving something is better than worshipping something. With worship you're kind of pushed into it. It can be a scary thing. It can be indoctrinated into people to worship a particular god. Love is a different. That has to gradually come on. You can't push anybody into loving anybody, but they all loved Jock.
club far sign talks
Stephen is as important to this club as any player. The talks to sign him up have been going well and we're not too far away.
applies clubs comment involved particular players wayne
I can't comment on players who are involved with their particular clubs in the future, and the same applies to Wayne Bridge.
delivery final further stage touch
We went a stage further than on Wednesday. Our delivery was better today, but our final touch was a problem.
achieve against defending good half hearts opponents physically plan second teams trying within
I've never thought about it that much; I just try to have a plan of how to play the game. Within that plan you have to take teams that are good at defending physically and make them think. In the first half we didn't make Hearts think enough. We made them defend physically, which they handled. We made them think more in the second half. Again, you just can't play the one way all the time. If the team you play against can get in that mentality, then all they have to do is defend. If you can make opponents think, then defend physically, then think... that is what you are trying to achieve that with your team.
contract hitch notice people stupid top
It would be stupid to think people would not notice there was a hitch in his contract and try and get a top player.
although good league rest safe scottish sure
It would be good for everybody, although we would have to make sure the rest of the Scottish league would be safe and prosper,
benefit cards deck full hope lads next playing terms
It would have been a benefit to me and the lads in some way in terms of playing in it. I hope we can play with a full deck of cards next time.
