Fans harsh on Samaras

thats just because he was standin next to him

 

Well on that basis u would have stavros flatley on the wings:bbpd:

 

Prolly would have , if i had expressed my desire to see samaras in the starting 11. All i ve said though is that i don't think he deserves all that stick from his own fans. It would be far more appropriate to say that you don't like his play and you dont wanna see him wear the hoops again and that would be an understandable opinion. Insults, suggestions of haircut and generally moaning about things irrelevant to football is something else.
But of course, you are using irony, against someone who has no relation to Scotland, yet is able to recognise Celtic's history and pride. Wouldn't expect not to do the same to one of your players... And i m not willing to make this personal, cause i got respect for each and every tim regardless.

 

blah, blah, blah...you started making it personal when fans had it in for him because he is greek!!!

 

i didnt slag his hair who the * cares about his hair its not even a joke worth laughin at all a know is hes been playin * and a can say what a want so shut up you started the * about if he was irish blah blah blah its got nothin to do with that its about his performances for celtic and theyr not good enough *

 

U really are deluded

The man ran about like a headless chicken all game..
broke up countless attacks with his sloppy touches
tries to do far too much

imo, if he hadn't played it would have been a stronger side

 

well for me its the same as mcgeady, these are the players that we expect to do something out of the ordinary that can win us games & neither of these players do enough of that. i cant beleive how many times im at the games hoping mcgeady & samaras pass the ball when needed.( yes its good when they make good runs without passing & score great goals but how often does that happen from them?)

 

some don't like his height, some don't like his hair, some don't like him beeing from greece etc. some reasons are unreal and worse than 12 year old girlie minds.

He ain't a lethal predator (we haven't had one for a long time), he is more of a quarterback. he could play just behind 2 strikers easily. he got the vision and the technique. overall his abilities make him one of the top players in the SPL, although he can't always fulfill his potential.

 

quarterback ? wat the * you talkin about no * watches american football and knows the role of a quarter back why not just say Attackin mid * quarterback garbage ! keanooooo

 

Spot on, to me he is just total liability would rather he didn't play another first team game.

 

Think he is a really decent player whose nerves are a bit suspect in split second decision moments. He does make the wrong decision from time to time but guys like Aidan are worse in that respect and do not get anywhere near the stick. Sammy is far too heavily criticised IMO.

 

looks like you are one of those * that know the role of a quarterback then. quarterback is also a term in football (soccer), it's not only a position, it describes a certain type of player.


by the way there are many american football followers on this board.

 

haha quarterback..aye very good

 

I love stats because they expose so much is to do with mythology, preception and favouritism

 

u must be the only * that knows of this position quarterback in football p.s jo fritzl wants his pants bak

 

good player with the ball at his feet. on his day looks far too good a player for the spl but when off his game is abysmal. he can run at defenders and take a couple out of the game scoring spectacular goals but when he's playing poorly nothing comes off for him. he compounds this by when playing poorly never hiding but instead continually having the bottle to show for the ball before running into dead ends and losing possession.

the above describes both samaras and mcgeady in my opinion yet one is despised by a sizeable number of the support while the other is lauded by the vast majority. theres less than ten months between them before anyone suggests aidens youth is a factor in this.

celtic fans do love a scapegoat

 

Someone with Greek blood here, what I think:

1/ Been treated like * by a big section of the fans and seeing as he is a confidence player, does not make much sense for the good of Celtic, but then again, you don't need to pass an IQ test to attend a football game.

2/ Been extremely poor many games this season, never the worst player (stats match Skippy's identically this season), but at times, clueless off the ball. He never came to Celtic a complete player, that is why people who attack him are deluded. He needed and unfortunately still needs professional coaching, which he has not received since leaving Holland. He needs training on where to stand (positioning), how to move off the ball and how to use his height and body more effectively. Also he needs to be training when to shoot and how to attack a loose ball. Someone also needs to be brave and decide for hm if he is a striker or a winger and make it stick.

Samaras is extremely open to coaching, hence why he excelled in Holland. He literally does whatever you tell him. Unfortunately he has not been coached propererly since Holland and I doubt anything will change. Because of this, potentially Celtic's most valuable player technically and financially is being wasted. It is like a young Arab billionaire being given a Lambo on his birthday before he has passed his test and expecting him to drive well. Samaras has never fully understood how to use his ability since leaving Holland and his father who worked as a trainer in Holland. He is confused at times on what to do football wise and puts up with all the menopausal * the fans have to vent on some poor victim which he has become. The reason he is so successful playing for Greece is because he has the fans behind him and he is given a free role which allows him time to make the right choices for the most part.

He needs to start again as a footballer and needs proper coaching. As some have said, if he leaves, he may blossom, well that depends on what club he goes to. If he for example goes to a Spanish club (1st or 2nd division) and gets coached properly, he has the potential to huge for whoever he plays for. At the moment with the current coaching staff, I can only see him going backwards. As stated before, he simply does not have the intelligence to go it alone and get conflicting coaching which is all he has received at Celtic.

 

you do know that austria isn't the same as switzerland? plenty of folk will get the quarterback referance, not that long ago the english media were in love with the term for david beckham just for an example of it being used for football.

 

i have it on good authority that samaras has been well educated....yes he passed a degree with honous from the clown college:bbpd:
