KYLE LAFFERTY has always struggled to cope with a £4 million price tag at Rangers. But last night the Northern Irishman was tipped to have a stunning season and become more of a menace to rivals than the man heâ??s often compared to - £49 million Peter Crouch. Because of his ungainly running style and lanky frame, Lafferty has often cut an awkward figure in the Ibrox attack not dissimilar to England hitman Crouch. But his former coach at international level â?? former top marksman Gerry Armstrong â?? believes that the 24-year-old is about to approach the best years of his career. And not only will he shine at Ibrox if he can steer clear of injury â?? but he can make a mockery of the fee Rangers paid to secure his services from Burnley and which has been such a millstone around the hitmanâ??s neck since 2008. Armstrong admitted: â??Kyle is now starting to find consistency in his play and his goal ratio per games is really coming on a bundle. He has everything youâ??d want in a striker â?? he can run the channels, he can hold the ball up and he has very quick feet. ì Kyle is now starting to find consistency in his play and his goal ratio per games is really coming on a bundle. î Gerry Armstrong â??Crouch is talented, but heâ??s nowhere near as good at holding the ball up as Kyle and doesnâ??t have as quick feet. Iâ??ve told Kyle that from my conversations recently with Ally McCoist that his manager really rates him. â??Now is his time keep knuckling down and prove his managerâ??s faith is not misplaced. I think he has everything in his locker to prove himself a top, top player for Rangers. â??The big issue for Kyle has always been fitness. Iâ??d love to see him get a six-month run where heâ??s fully fit. He seems to play for two months and tweak a groin or pull a muscle and be out for three weeks. â??Then we he comes back it takes him time to get back up to speed again. In all his time at Rangers I honestly donâ??t think heâ??s ever been 100% fit. Heâ??s always just working back from injury or approaching full sharpness when he picks up another knock. â??But I honestly believe that the money Rangers paid for him should not be an issue.Yes it maybe hampered him in the best but heâ??s certainly a £4 million player â?? and then some.â? Armstrong worked with Lafferty from the minute he broke into the Northern Ireland set-up as a raw teenager and believes he can emerge as key man for club and country this season adding: â?? Kyle played recently against Serbia â?? a top side â?? and was outstanding. He led the line superbly in the first-half and we were 1-0 up through Gareth McAulay. â??He seems to have settled down a bit as well and become more focused on his football.Donâ??t get me wrong â?? at times he can be a complete fruit loop! http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/281393/Kyle-Lafferty-is-better-than-Peter-Crouch-says-Gerry-Armstrong

Lifted from FF: Celtic have struggled for results but their disciplinary record so far is remarkable. Below is the number of fouls committed per yellow card received in the SPL so far this season. On average a yellow card is recieved every 6.79 fouls, however one club is getting penalised much less than all the others. 1 - Celtic - 13.00 fouls per booking 2 - Dundee Utd - 7.94 fouls per booking 3 - Rangers - 7.28 fouls per booking 4 - Aberdeen - 6.54 fouls per booking 5 - Motherwell - 6.44 fouls per booking 6 - Inverness CT - 6.21 fouls per booking 7 - Dunfermline - 6.05 fouls per booking 8 - Kilmarnock - 5.95 fouls per booking 9 - Hibs - 5.86 fouls per booking 10 - Hearts - 5.70 fouls per booking 11 - St Mirren - 5.29 fouls per booking 12 - St Johnstone - 5.17 fouls per booking If we now look at the average booking per fouls in home games only, one club's average is again significantly more favourable than any other team in the league. 1 - Celtic - 15.67 fouls per booking 2 - Dundee Utd - 8.90 fouls per booking 3 - Rangers - 8.67 fouls per booking 4 - Aberdeen - 7.89 fouls per booking 5 - Kilmarnock - 7.80 fouls per booking 6 - Inverness CT - 6.46 fouls per booking 7 - St Johnstone - 6.45 fouls per booking 8 - Hearts - 6.29 fouls per booking 9 - Hibs - 6.18 fouls per booking 10 - Motherwell - 6.00 fouls per booking 11 - Dunfermline - 5.69 fouls per booking 12 - St Mirren - 5.00 fouls per booking And finally, looking at away games, and again one club's average is much more favourable than anyone elses: 1 - Celtic - 11.86 fouls per booking 2 - Motherwell - 6.89 fouls per booking 3 - Dunfermline - 6.83 fouls per booking 4 - Rangers - 6.58 fouls per booking 5 - Dundee Utd - 6.57 fouls per booking 6 - Inverness CT - 5.91 fouls per booking 7 - Aberdeen - 5.82 fouls per booking 8 - Hibs - 5.65 fouls per booking 9 - St Mirren - 5.54 fouls per booking 10 - Kilmarnock - 5.41 fouls per booking 11 - Hearts - 5.08 fouls per booking 12 - St Johnstone - 4.08 fouls per booking It's silly to draw conclusions at this stage of the season - and also difficult in a general sense as multiple tackles will go unpunished as harmless but one bad foul will lead to a caution - but when one considers that both Glasgow sides finished last season with an average FPB (fouls per booking) of between 6.5 and 6.9 the huge difference so far this term is worthy of comment. Let's see how it develops.

Terrible blow for the wee man,but he is a fighter and has proved it before with his come back after a similar injury. -
A nice little comparision of Lennon and Mowbray..
ian1964 replied to CraigRFC's topic in General Football Chat
The longer he stays at the piggery the better,if he was to leave soon then the letter bombs & sectarian bigots have driven him out,would be the headlines.Keep him BHEASTS,he is one of your own and you deserve him, he's a shit manager of a shit team -

Come to think of it,is there not a closed doors freindly against Hibs at MP today?,I think Ness,Bartley & the trialist will feature? -

Aye,that would be my first choice replacement. He is more like Davis in the way he plays,although not as good as Davis IMO. -

Personaly I'd like to see McKay replace Naismith,he must be bursting to get involved and had an excellent game against Liverpool,albeit a freindly.I also think it is time for Fleck to step up. -

Also Ness,even Bartley. Of course it's a massive blow to Rangers and Naismith himself,but we have a stronger squad now and these fringe players need to step up to the plate. -

Aye,but it doesn't surprise me with these animals,the only thing they can sing about is injured Rangers players,sad really

I have actualy said in my last post, that you quoted,that maybe there will be something done?. It just pisses me off how the BHEASTS seem to get away with a lot of shit and we don't,but you also said there maybe wasn't enough evidence with CCTV and all I am saying is they have posted their own evidence on youtube.And yes it also annoys the shit out of me when the mHedia never seem to report these things when it comes to them.

I know that,and as I've just posted the main point here is the BHEASTS singing offensive songs and posting them on youtube and nothing being done,maybe there will be something done?.What I think of the police is irrelevant to the point.

Of course. My main point here is the songs that the BHEASTS are singing,posting them on youtube and nothing happening when we have been done for singing via youtube evidence.

Craig,I've not seen Rangers fans running towards the police to harrass them inside Ibrox and calling them huns or fenians at the end of a game,have you?. Cops in the streets not in the stands,I agree it would not have happened,hence why I have it.
