loads player work
Craig, like Adam, still has loads to work on before he can be called a real player here.
huge lose obviously player
It's obviously a huge disappointment to lose a player of Chris's quality.
body dynamic fair games good hopefully losing player recent rest suggest
It's never good losing a player like Stan, but hopefully the rest will do him good. I think it's probably fair to say that he hasn't been as dynamic for us over recent games and, if you look at his performances, I think there's a lot there to suggest that his body has been getting tired.
loved player problem spoke work
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.
england harder jump lose opposition players scotland shoot system tackle win
Scotland have a system which is getting better, but it's players who win and lose games. Look at England. They have a system, but if the opposition players jump higher, tackle harder and shoot better, your system is in trouble.
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.
angry energy players positive second turn
A lot of us were angry at the interval, ... Angry at being behind, angry at some refereeing decisions, so I told the players to turn that energy into positive energy in the second half. I think they did that.

card choosing comment embarrass football player shown time yellow
If this were a football match, Portsmouth would be shown the yellow card for time-wasting. To comment now would embarrass the player but there will be a time of my choosing when I will have something to say.
celtic certain competitor dividing focused footballer full line okay thin trying work
If you play for Celtic or Rangers, there is a certain responsibility. If you are a footballer full stop, you have a certain responsibility. You have to be disciplined. It's okay being angry, but you must be focused and you just keep trying to work on that. There is a thin dividing line between being a competitor and going over that.
craig expecting pressure
There was pressure on Craig because 55,000 were expecting him to score. He put it away well.
debut good seen
It was as good a debut as I've seen in a long time.
lad seem wants
Things seem to be going well just now and the lad wants to stay, which is good.
decide
I will decide on that, but he is still captain.
