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.
looking people react
People were looking to see if we could react to the Clyde result. We did.
people referee true
There are only two people who really know the true story, the referee and Neil,
best competition dilemma everywhere hard people picks players playing rest sort team wish
When you make those decisions, it is hard because you know you have to let down people who are playing well. I just wish we had that sort of competition everywhere in the team. Two of our best players form-wise have not been getting a game, but I don't have that dilemma elsewhere. The rest of the team really picks itself.
people
Were people squaring up to him or was he squaring up to other people?,
attractive exciting fortunate jim jobs people resources save win
Too many people had an off-day to think it was just a one-off. I have been in jobs where you have to win to save your job. Jim Jefferies has responsibilities to win but I am fortunate enough to have the resources to win and play attractive and exciting football.
breaking came desperate people
It was a real tester, breaking away on his own from the half-way line. When you are running, and there are 50,000 people there desperate for you to score, the pressure's on you. But he came up with the winner.
afraid church dad funny high mum people standards tabloids television whereas
I'm afraid that this is me getting on my high horse now but we have yob television, yob newspapers, and funny enough whereas it was my mum and dad, school, police, church who used to set the standards, now it's tabloids and yob television who set the standards by which people live.
above cause gets handful hard people worked
People think I've got a problem with the press. Actually I have no problem with the press, but just like in football there are a handful who cause problems because they're disrespectful, they're lazy, and above all - and this is what really gets to me - they haven't worked hard to get there.
ask opinions people
They've done everything right. If people ask their opinions or feelings, they will give them,
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.
bit define games good joe milan people played wee
He had a good wee spell. We have to define that. You need to look at the games themselves. People go on about the AC Milan game. He has played in different positions, all over the place, a bit like Joe Cole. We've got to make him a player.
football people training
The reason I became a manager was to have full control over training. If you are a coach, you are bound by what the manager wants you to coach. The other reason is that I just like the company of football people.
thinking media people
I think what I've actually achieved as a manager does sometimes get a bit overlooked, because all people think about is the media side of things. They tend to forget I've not done so bad.
