Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic feels that the Scottish Premier League title race is already effectively over.The Croatia international claims that the Gers' current 12-point lead means they have all-but sealed the championship.Jevalic believes that the gap is already too much for the chasing pack to catch up - despite the fact the season is not even at its halfway stage yet."I am delighted. I am playing well and so are the team. We seem to score in every game," he told the Daily Record."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."Play-offJelavic is in action this weekend as Croatia take on Turkey in their Euro 2012 play-off, although he is set for a place on the bench."Of course I expect a place in the line-up because I am in good shape and have scored a few recently," he said."But it's not me who decides, it's the manager and whatever he says I will listen to and accept."We know it will be difficult but we can't miss out on another tournament."http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11788/7301433/Jelavic-Title-race-is-over Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayboleLoyal_atb 3,754 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 A fail to see where he says it's over. He says the 12 point lead should be enough and a would like to think also it was enough. Doesn't mean I believe it's over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Doesnt really say that does he!Not at all, poor journalism again. There's been so many instances of that lately I'm beggining to wonder if there is anyone in the press we can trust to give us the truth and nothing but the truth. Seems they are all trying for the "headline that catches your eye with article or quote not really anything to do with it"... thing. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamMunny 3,245 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 All he says is that it should be enough to keep us there and he is right, unless something's goes very wrong. Doesn't say it's over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilko89 507 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Was raging when I saw the headline in the paper, hate when our players say things like that. After reading it and realising he didn't say anything like that, just another shitty paper trying to sell! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgr1991 303 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Fuckin terrible journalism there. What he said was spot on. The gap should be enough as long as Rangers keep up our form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 This is terrifying,the tims will only read the headline of the article then pin it up on the dressing room wall.This could even anger them into winning two matches in a row.

FlippinEck 3,708 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Its a real shame they dont actually tell you what they ask them, when you read this:Jevalic believes that the gap is already too much for the chasing pack to catch upThey probably said something along the lines of "The gap already appears to much for the chasing pack to catch up with, how do you feel about that?"Because his response was "I am delighted. I am playing well and so are the team."And then they have twisted that for their headlines... of course thats just me making an assumption... they could just be stirring shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
