From local press and BBC:
'It's simple, Rangers have to win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. A point may be good enough in the end, but with a trip to Norwich City to end the campaign, it would be better to go there knowing they'll be in the Championship next season.'
I'm sorry but if its Rangers 0 Forest 5, Blackburn 0 Villa 0, I'm celebrating (sort of)...aren't I?

I don't think many will be celebrating if we lose even if it means we stay up | | | |

You're right of course.
Blackburn don't win or Birmingham lose,we are safe whatever happens.
The mention that a 1pt "may" be enough is nonsense.
1 pt would mean ALL of the following would have to happen to send us down
Blackburn win both games
Birmingham win both games
Forest win last game
We lose at Norwich
"Media" love to make it more dramatic than it is! | | | |

So in summary, 1 point may be enough?!

Personally I'd rather us not having to rely on others | |

Definitely - but it just irks me when you see broadcasters such as the Beeb peddle out this without checking:
"A win for Rangers would remove any danger of relegation, but any other result would see them travel to Norwich on the final day of the season with their Championship status in jeopardy."
Er... | | | |

We don't have to win but doing so means other results don't matter. I'd rather we just got the job done and not have to worry about what anyone else does.
I don't even think a draw guarantees safety. Lets say we draw tomorrow and lose 2-0 at Norwich.
That puts us on 51 points with -14 GD
If Blackburn win both their games 1-0 that puts them on 51 points with -13 GD. They'd go above us by virtue of 1 goal.
Then of course, we'd need to rely on Birmingham not winning both their games (4 points is not enough as that would put them on 51 points too but with a GD of around -20)
So, yes, we don't have to win but please lets just do it! | | | |

Think i might have mentioned that before! | | | |

That's football - you always have to rely on the team you're playing against losing! | | | |

Dreadful journalism | | | |

It is, and it's easy to check.
However, I read the other day that online content is now at such a churn that journalists/reporters at some publications (particularly places like The Mail) are expected to write around 20 articles per day. One every 30 mins. Anyone who's done any kind of writing will know how tough that is, and any reporter worth their salt will claim it to be pretty impossible. I guess the reason at most places, though, is churn and 'fresh' content to keep people coming back which in turn increases ad revenue - which is not a problem at the Beeb of course, so this is merely a rush job not done well! Thank the Lord we've got Clive. | |

It's only a matter of time before Clive will be asking you to increase your jerks from 6 to 10 and then 20 and then 50 etc. And then it'll be the U21's, the under 18's, the under 16's etc.
I reckon by the end of the year he'll have you jerking over the QPR ladies... | |

We do have Lynch and Bidwell as half of our back four. Let's hope they can restrict Norwich to single figures!! | |
