I think Neil Lennon deserves credit for being ruthless in his team selection. Izzaguire is a fantastic player, and everyone was delighted when he came back from injury. To let izzy play every game would have been the easy thing to do, but Lenny knows izzy needs more time and can't be trusted at the moment. Now with the defence racking up clean sheets, izzy will have to be at his best to get back in. The competition for places is really healthy for the club, and our manager is growing into the job superbly.

Hi Ed
I know Marc Crosas has joined the Mexican team we're partnered with (Santos Laguna?) Do you think we'll ever see him back playing for us? He's still a young lad and he had an eye for a pass. HH

His Tweets alone are worth 7M.

Hi ed,not a rumour but does every season ticket holder get a chance to get league cup final tickets? {Ed007's Note - Yes if you have entered the ballot and cup/away game scheme.}

If you bought a ticket for the semi you will get one for the final

Evening Ed. Just wondering if you have any inside info on what is happening with us signing big Fraser Forster ? I thought that getting the big man on a contract was one on Lennon's main priorities and expected him to be signed up a couple of weeks back. All seems to have gone quiet..... not liking it. {Ed007's Note - He can be signed at any time, it doesn't need to be a transfer window. Because a permanent deal is part of the terms of the loan deal it can be triggered at any time (Hooiveld signed for Southampton in December because of the same thing). I would think talks at some level will be ongoing about Forster.}

Think the big man will listen to offers from down south i think before he signs a thing. either way would snap up kello at hearts for either 1st or 2nd choice.

lenny {Ed007's Note - It depends if any team down south will pay NUFC's asking price and the fee to buy CFC's options on the player. The £2 million fee is exclusive to CFC. NUFC can ask for £5 million from other teams but if Forster agrees personal terms with CFC then we only pay £2 million.}

Correct me if i am wrong but i was of the understanding that his contract at newcastle ran out at the end of the season. could this be a cause for the delay and the unwillingness to fork out the 2million?

Evinguu {Ed007's Note - 30th June 2014 his NUFC contract is up buddy.}

On Radio Scotland now, Cousin's agent is saying the slum dwellers are offering him 5K a week. {Ed007's Note - They offered him 7k then contacted them again to offer 5k. Cousin's agent is having 'problems' contacting Whyte, Birmingham are also said to be ready to offer a contract to Cousin.}

ED007 if Cousin does not sign, would that make him a cousin "twice removed?" (Ouch) Timalloy

Ed007 that was hilarious, whyte ran out of credit apparently, loved how no one on the show picked up on that one

whats this about them owing money for tht celik player could they end up losing him ed and also how can they affor to pay cousin any wages think it all just to look like there trying to sign players not that he wid make a diffrence. Got to say we looked the part last nite and with the strength in depth and all at good age things r looking bright for future
dezybhoy {Ed007's Note - GAIS are due training compensation within 30 days of Celik signing for them. If this is not paid the player could be recalled back to GAIS and UEFA would probably impose sanctions on Rangers.}

Things just ge better and better for them lol glad to hear ur niece is recovering {Ed007's Note - Thanks you.}

Big shock, rangers not paying for something again. set of free loading money hungry minks.

He can't be called back to them he was out of contract. they did not own his registration.

but they are still intitled to there money.

so i dont know what will happen . and could something happen in terms of the games he played .

If it's a possibility I'd laugh my fat backside off if he got recalled.

Would just pile on the embarassment to a level I'd have thought prior to this season unimaginable.

Sure, the SPL as a whole may be laughed at down south but let's face it it's not exactly held in high regard anyway. {Ed007's Note - It might be a shitty league but CFC are 10th, Rangers 14th in Europe for their financial matchday revenue. Man City are 18th as a gauge.}

I wonder if this is why they are trying to rush through the Cousin deal... or could any sanctions placed on them include any signings made after Celik are unable to play?

JD {Ed007's Note - I would think there would surely be sanctions.}

Can anyone explain why Craig Brown is the manager of the month for January?

What is the criteria for this award?

Not at all sure, though I believe that the award is made by a "media panel"m though I have no idea of the constitution of it.

Although I think it probably won't annoy him, how does anyone better Neil Lennon's record of late?

Not sure if it's a coincidence or not but going back to 2000 and no-one has won it more than 2 months in a row... Could be a sponsor's stipulation to stop it from becoming boring?
