Samaras preparations need a rethink

875

Georgios is hugely important to Celtic on Champions League duty.  His presence and experience is crucial, but his ability to hold the ball up, often the subject of frustration for some in SPL games, is fundamental to Celtic’s chances of playing at this level.

Georgios Samaras hamstring injury, coming late in the first half against Kilmarnock, is a carbon copy of the injury he picked up late in the first half against Berwick Rangers two years ago this month.  Hamstrings mostly to go early in games, or early in the second half, before players muscles are properly warmed and stretched.  It is unusual for a player to get well into a game, when limbs should be stretched, before picking up this kind of injury.  Time for a rethink of the player’s preparations on cold days.

I only saw around 10 minutes of the Scottish Cup tie at Tannadaice this afternoon but was unfortunate to witness Ian Black twice make an offensive hand gesture, once apparently aimed at the Dundee United support.  If he was wearing green  I’m sure he would be dealt with.

    Burghbhoy,

     

     

    am goin back a bit, but are there any O’Hara’s still around that neck of the woods?

     

     

    Used to drink in the Star in “Lithgae” as well, after a few warmers in the Vatican… back when the Star was the original bar and lounge. Even went to the dancin up the stairs…. got chucked out three times in the one night, till the bouncers realised that the painter had handily left his ladders underneath the window to the ladies bogs.

     

     

    Weird places, ladies bogs… could never win on that slot machine

    Good few O’Hara’s still in residence mate, we all drink in St Phils now, back of the chapel and the famous Winchburgh & District CSC leaves from there.

    What does Jabba think when he enters Tannadice today, to be confronted by the muffled titters of his erstwhile colleagues in the media, and then to watch his beloved zombies being torn a new one by an at best average SPL team?

     

    I hope it was worth it Lord Haw Haw.

  8. This is a belter from a genuine zombie now playing for Sheff Wed.

    A wee thought about the ‘boycott’.

     

    Well said shady, I nominate you to start a CQN list as to what they have boycotted over the years. It could be a very long list but I am sure you will get some help on here, I would suggest you number them backed up with facts, I hope you are not to busy over the coming months. I will start you off…….

    Rhys clearly has the brain of a zombie….

     

     

    Was he one of the first to do walking away

  12. Our gorgeous wee Westie, Caley, sadly and suddenly died recently and we were thinking about possible names if we were to get another.

     

     

    Any ideas?

     

     

    It will almost certainly be a female.

     

     

    First suggestion of Eire Dog but more serious suggestions welcome.

  14. I’m sitting here listening to Andre Rieu and thinking about the rubbish I witnessed as highlights from Tannadice. Sevco are even worse than I dared to hope. While I have no wish to have them ever darken our door again in any incarnation whatever, I could almost stomach them being regularly humiliated by the likes of Dundee United. It might almost be worth it to see them in the SPL to see them hammered every week. There was nothing Norris could do today to help them (except end the game early).

  15. Geoffrey Boycott will sign for sevco as they have declared love for his moniker, says Mark Hately as his orange hue is starting to make him look like a fluorescent orangutan on acid.

     

    “Things can only get better”

     

    What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

     

    If only the sevcovians had paid attention from the time of the gilded moonbeams.

     

    I blame the schools.
