Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 from The Telegraph:"Ibrox boss jokes "If there’s anybody who knows about getting red cards maybe Robbie’s better qualified than most" after surprising sending-off of Hibernian's Danny Handling this weekThe Rangers manager, Ally McCoist, has derided the suggestion from Robbie Neilson, his opposite number at Heart of Midlothian, that referees favour the Glasgow club.When Rangers hosted Hibernian in the Petrofac Training Cup on Tuesday evening, visiting forward Danny Handling was surprisingly shown a straight red card for an awkward challenge on winger David Templeton.The following day Neilson said he had been preparing his side for their visit to Ibrox on Sunday by playing 10 versus 11 “because we know what it’s like when we go there”.McCoist, however, was having none of it.“Well, if there’s anybody who knows about getting red cards maybe Robbie’s better qualified than most, shall we say,” he joked.“Is it mind games? Absolutely it’s mind games. And, by the way, I’ve watched the Hibs tackle again from Tuesday night and it is a red card. I agreed with [Alan] Stubbsy at the time: I wasn’t sure.“I thought it was a card-and-a-half at the time. But, having watched it again, I think he does come in with the scissors. I don’t think there was any real malice [and] the fact Hibs aren’t appealing maybe indicates how they feel.“But I did have a chuckle at Robbie’s comments, yes. He’s in the management door 30 seconds and he’s playing mind games already ...“Listen, we all got a giggle out of it and we took the way it was meant. I would imagine he had his tongue firmly placed in his cheek while making the comment!“Maybe he believes it, but I would have thought it was a tongue-in-cheek remark and if we can’t have a smile, then we are all toiling.”Full-back Richard Foster, for his part, preferred to believe that the Hearts manager is merely running scared and getting his excuses in early.“It’s something that has been put out there to try and potentially get into the referee’s head,” he said. “They’ve got to do everything to win the game and if that’s what he thinks he needs to do to win the game then I think we’re in a better position.“They’ll be going into this season wanting to win and wanting to get back into the Premiership and fair enough.“I’m a great believer you’ve got to do whatever it takes to win the game.“Sometimes you’ve got to bend the rules, sometimes you’ve got to break the rules: it’s all about winning at the end of the day.“I know for a fact behind closed doors he’ll be telling his players they are good enough to beat us. He’s just putting that out in the press to maybe try and unsettle us, maybe try and unsettle the referee. It won’t affect us or his players.“It is going to have no effect on us. If they’re not playing within the rules of the game and get a man sent off it won’t be the fact there’s any kind of bias or prejudice against them, it will just be the fact they are not playing within the rules.”I'm normally not a fan of most of his interviews but this is the perfect response. makes Neilson look a total tool. teams get players sent off at Ibrox because they kick us off the park, I'm sure Hearts will be no different Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Neilson maybe should get his team ready for playing against us with just 7 players on the field as I remember that happening one time when Hearts came to Ibrox. One more sending off and the game would have been a boggy, maybe that's the tactics he'll try and play. Fucking half wit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Cheers guys. Dementia right enough then... Although in my defence, I remember getting heavily into sh*gging for a few years. I don't remember the 1994 World Cup at all due to being 'otherwise engaged.'Probably should have it's own thread: "What Years In Football Passed You By Because You Were Hypnotised By Vagina?"

Rickshaw77 287 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Neilson is just a glove puppet we all know who told him to make these remarks to the press.If Levein has something to say he should come out and say it not hide behind Robbie Neilson.Can't wait to get fired into this mob come Sunday.
