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.

    The confirmation I was looking for was due to appear online at 3.00 on Friday – I don’t know why it didn’t. It’s a formal notification and if it appears they are in big trouble

    TT,

     

     

    when confronted by dicks like this, my wife gave me some great tips

     

     

    1) look at their nose in amazement, and rub yours, like there’s a snotter hanging

     

    2) wrinkle your nose and sniff, like there’s a bad smell, say “jeez”, and back away

     

    3) kick the fecker in the nads

     

     

    it works for me, but I never bothered about the golf club anyay

    despite having been forced to watch football for 25 years, on tele, at various levels involving my sons and I, the occassional SPL game , I can safely say my wife knows next to nothing about the game. She is watching DUFC dismantle huns tonight and starts asking me questions about Sevco…who plays for them, etc..then says – ‘that orange team (DUFC)are just taking the ball off Rangers whenever they want…those Rangers players look really rubbish’….thinking she maybe knows more than I think.

    PC67, end of march is a good time to plan a game on the “man’s” course. Lets make a plan.

     

     

    Bring beer…………………….and Gerry.

    Won’t name names .

     

     

    I was at a birthday party tonight.

     

     

    A local millionaire who was the primary moneyman behind John Bomber brown was introduced to my company.

     

     

    Immediately upon our introduction ,he gave me a Masonic handshake.

     

     

    I was able to look him directly in the eye,whilst readjusting my grip and give him a firm wholesome handshake in return.

     

     

    Whilst looking him in the eye ,I told him that I was a Celtic man.

     

     

    He turned his glaze away from me and said out loud “Ya dirty Fenian B’std.”

     

     

    This caused mild embarrassment for some and others sycophantically laughed.

     

     

    They have no shame ,and are bigoted to the core.

     

     

    I will post some more of what he said at a later date.

     

     

    But, be assured the Sevcovians in the know,don’t trust Charlie one bit.

     

     

    Infact some despise him.

    Thanks for this detailed information, I love hearing about Secret Societies.

     

     

    It seems to me you were dealing with low level people who just want to be helped to achieve anything. Pitiful.

     

     

    Keep facing them down TT, they are Bullies and like to isolate and attack when it is safe to do so.

    The Scottish Public has condemned Rangers, there is no way back for them (the tribute act) now, no matter how much existing propaganda grinds out its crap.

     

     

    I know you read Kojo’s submissions and agree with a lot of them like myself.

     

     

    It is demographics that will ultimately change things. In this respect the Huns never stood a chance.
