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.

    Some of the zombies got confused and boycotted the boycott.

    who is huns number 5? the defending for the second goal wasn’t even up to schoolboy level, he matched the strikers run, keeping him onside but 10 yards away from him the whole time……

  5. No coverage of blacks antics on way off the park …. Will Vincent lunny intervene ….. Will i hold my breath

  6. Jackie is a peter pan. Doesn’t seem to age at all.

     

     

    Fat sleekit ally ages before our very eyes.

     

     

    Black. Would you see him in your road to get into a fight.

  7. Just saw their game on sportscene, what a rank rotten production it is.

     

     

    Never knew they had another naysmith playing for them, shocking tackle, Black, a turd of the highest order, he is well suited to thems.

    don’t really agree with you…when he was 25 he looked about 12…looks about 30 now :-)

  9. Not having seen any Sevco games this season it really came as a pleasant surprise at how utter garbage they are!!!

     

     

    Can see the 500million of them walking away, Chuck better sell those shares quick coz they will be worth hee haw very soon!

     

     

    The Superior people will not stand for this, fully expect Sally to fall in his sword soon.

  10. Well done Simon and Jackie for an excellent start to their careers at Dundee United.

     

     

    If Jackie is as headstrong as his Father then he will become an excellent Manager.

     

     

    Sevco – everything they do is wrong. I wonder if the next incarnation will learn the lessons that are being taught.

    I’m pretty sure Black copied Joey Bartons latter hairstyles today. That sums him up IMO.

    I agree. I pay a license for this rubbish. I turn over to MOTD and get

     

    A much more professional show.

  14. Nevin is the most horrible wee c*** I have ever came across.

     

     

    Making excuses for the club with the second highest wage bill in Scotland.

    First time I have seen it in a while, and really can’t remember it being so amaturish, you would think that the producers would see how bad it is, what are they getting paid for ffs.

  16. Interesting that there was not a word from any

     

    Scottish MSP on Sevco’s boycott.

     

    Just a few months earlier they were telling us how

     

    important it was for Scotish football

     

    that the oldco did not go into liquidation.

     

    Hypocrisy.

    That Concalves of St Mirren looks a bit of a player!!

     

     

     

    exactly what I was thinking and you can tell the St Mirren fans love him already….every time he gets the ball they are looking for something to happen…great when you get a player like that lifts the whole stadium

  18. I understand the official boycot now

     

    Imagine the zombie reaction to that if there were a few thousand of them in there

     

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

  19. tommytwiststommyturns on

    Goncalves is a decent player, he certainly gave Adam a tough game at Hampden, but he’s going to stand out when surrounded by so much mediocrity!

  20. Lucy.

     

     

    She is a girl. Don’t burden the pup with a cqn name. This place is full of nut cases.

     

     

    Lucky Lucy.

     

     

    Keep it lit.

  21. Saint Stivs, I’ve added Lucy to the list BTW, quite like it, just wondered if you had a reason. Bed time for Bonzo, though…
