Hearts have been tested already, |
His arrival saw us kicking on again. He and Neil Lennon getting together in midfield was a big thing for our team. |
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. |
Honestly, I have had more trouble with blackheads. |
I am happy to have him in the squad and, if fit, to train with the first team unless something drastic happens. |
I asked Tony if he'd seen anything and he said he hadn't either, |
I can't comment on players who are involved with their particular clubs in the future, and the same applies to Wayne Bridge. |
I don't have a clue what his best position is, ... because he is so good in all of them. Usually a utility man is ordinary in every position, but he is brilliant in every position and that is a problem, I can assure you. |
I don't think the squad we have at the moment is conducive to the number of games we'll play next season. |
I don't think there will be too much of a problem getting a work permit. I spoke to the player and he loved it here and we will try to make an arrangement to keep it ongoing. |
I don't think we will be taking that any further now. I believe he has a smashing offer from Lille on the table and it also came into consideration that he has been out of action for a year. |
I don't want it to be something that you couldn't offer to his memory. You couldn't have that for Jimmy Johnstone. I'd want to dedicate something of beauty and not a horrendous performance. |
I had a discussion about it over a plate of soup with Stan, |
I have had incredible support from the supporters who I have spoken to and come face-to-face with, the real fans have been fantastic. |
I haven't been there for a competitive game for a long time but I scored my first ever league goal there, so I have happy memories. |
