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.

    OK.

     

     

    I’ll put if forward for the name of glasgowghirl’s wee dug, and see if I win that competition.

    stringer bell,

     

     

    Not really,

     

    I’m still depriving them my Sports package money and seeing the game, plus my beer.

     

     

    What if my local has another provider?

     

     

    ———

     

     

    Was actually thinking about the family harmony bit, thn pissing off to the pub to watch the game. A wee light hearted observation.

     

     

    :-).

     

    ***********

     

    Missed that one!

     

     

    One of the priviledges of the Empty Nest Syndrome and a tolerent wife is that I have a bit of autonomy.

     

     

    Have to go, now, dishes to be done!!

  3. glasgowghirl, . Had a much beloved Westie myself called Murphy who has since gone where ever good doggies go. Re the name of new arrival, well I suppose Sally is out of the question so I’ll go for LIzzy.

  4. I’m boycotting the boycott list. My contribution was boycotted.

     

     

    If I did flounces I’d flounce!

    Shoud real win away at Granada tonight?

     

     

    2/5, thinking of buying some money.

  6. Tara proving popular! Caley got her name from the pint in my hand when we were trying to think of names, not sure what that says about me!

    I’ve got Andre on my music list on my phone… Great to drive to and relaxing… Often fall asleep to it. Not behind the wheel i may add.

     

     

    Also got bocelli …. The stranglers … Killers and rihanna … Not sure what that says about me ;)

  8. Cheers Prestonpans Bhoys, that was a fantastic job you did there, Do you think we need to employ more people and do it every quarter? At the rate they are going they will boycott themselves one day hopefully and leave the rest of us to get on with football. From straws to baws and lots inbetween has there ever been a more self important, self congratulory, bunch of turdfelchers that have walked the earth?

  9. Surely Challs will realise Sally has outlived his worth to him? In fact the majority of huns would chase him IMO.Personally i would force him to sign the 20 year contract :)

    That was lucky. Could have ended up being called Buckie if it was my dug.

    The whole TFPLG situation is a perfect storm

    and …no decent manager would touch them

    The things you do when weekend TV is crap :0) A quarterly report, why not…………………………….

  15. Pfayr

     

     

    Are you trying to suggest that someone would touch Sally’s pants?

     

     

    Even with their elbows?

  16. Maybe Sevco could get Big Eck back if they bin Sally. Big Eck is another crap manager whose made a fortune on the back of his Sevconian roots .

     

     

    Talentless fud

    I was in my local .. 2-0 utd

     

     

    A guy comes in and asks me if its still 1-0. Broke the news to him and it was obvious he was a zombie. When he brought his phone out it had a masonic screensaver ( sure there’s a few jokes in there..)

     

    Guy across the bar starts going on about them being a disgrace… They are rangers and he expects them to beat everyone.

     

    I had a wee chat with the mason about mcmoist … He thinks he’s the best man for the job atm.

     

     

    I had to smile and tell him i agreed … From a cfc season ticket holders perspective ;)

  18. Philbhoy - It's just the beginning! on

    If you hate the glasgo sevco clap yer hands.

     

     

     

    Clap, clap ,clap.

  19. I think every quarter should do although obviously there are things that they boycott annually, so a regular quarterly update to that should keep the public informed. Just in case we think of doing something stupid like crossing the road.

    Can you imagine the match report if two Celtic players were sent off and made obscene gestures to the crowd?

     

     

    A cursory mention of the former in the final paragraph and no mention of the latter?

     

     

    Got to love the BBC.

  21. was over reading several zombie sites there.

     

     

    delusional is one thing, but where on earth is there a single fact that proves their

     

     

    “biggest club in scotland”

     

     

    pash.

  22. PFayr

     

     

    I was just thinking the same thing. My ideal scenario is that they keep McCoist and he tries to huff and puff his way up 3 divisions with “effort” and “commitment”.

     

     

    Then they get stuck in the 1st once they meet some “quality” opposition.

     

     

    Templeton, Wallace, Sandaza… I almost feel sorry for them.

  23. channelislandcelt on
