Craig Samson retires

[dh1963]

St Mirren keeper is stopping playing and joining Sunderland as goalkeeper coach.

Those imaginary coins and that classless Candeias must have really upset him

 

[Diego Maradona]

Ginger prick. No real loss. Assume jack Ross rates him

 

[Godrup99]

Seems like a decent move.

 

[Irn-Bru]

Only 34, young for a goalkeeper. Strange decision in my opinion especially when being first choice at St Mirren

 

[Worthy_Candidate]

St Boo fans will be shocked at this.

Most of them thought he had already chucked it.

 

[W*A*T*P]

Money talks

Seeing imaginary coins in his sleep. A nervous wreck I heard

£££££’s

And let’s face it, he ain’t gonna see many win bonuses to boost his St Boo wage.

 

[laud55]

How about we have a wee collection for him?

 

[Diego Maradona]

How about we have a wee collection for him?

I’m in. Too be fair to the lad, he didn’t hit the floor like a small child.

 

[coplandrearl36]

No change there then!

 

[Batigol]

I'm no fan of St boo, but it seems a bit shite leaving them in the middle of the season, surely he could have waited until January and allowed them time to get a replacement?

 

[btl456]

Pound for pound he is a crap keeper.

 

[Realger34]

Terrible at saving money.

 

[IrvineLoyal]

Good sick watching him waste time taking goal kicks the past few years the ginger cocksocket

 

[PunkScott]

Footage of the reason he retired. Tying to make saves versus Rangers...

 

[KopGer]

To be fair to the player, he’s probably jumped before the club sack their second incompetent clown, er manager, of the season and replace him with another inconsequential, barely there no-mark.

They have a replacement they say, plus he will be on lower wages.

 

[Heggy]

Good. The long finger nailed, smelly ginger tosser has been hanging around the Scottish game for decades stinking the place out

 

[KGR98]

Always been a shite keeper imo

 

[robandmundt]

That's weird as %^*&. Surely he can't just leave in November during a season?

 

[Davieblue1977]

Never rated him

 

[Sam English]

Never thought of him as being a very good goalie

 

[Barryhopez]

Probably a decent move for him in terms of career choice.

 

[usbear]

My who gives a f$&@ meter is blowing up

[subversive_bear]

Sunderland is a grim town but at least it's not Feegie Park.

 

[Diego Maradona]

A sad loss for football

 

[WeeBaz78]

Harsh comments directed towards one of our own.

 

[vinnie]

Seems like a good career move, and he’s been sensible getting his coaching badges in early.

Good luck him.

Doesn't affect us.

 

[tambourineman]

Not even one like! Musthave been missed by everyone

 

[Montyplums]

Teaching time wasting - ginger prick

 

[Sebo123]

How about we have a wee collection for him?

i'll throw some change in!

What did Campbell say??

 

[Bannockburn Bear]

I’ve met him a few times and the guys brand new.

 

[Jasetheace]

His brother is married to my cousin, I've met him a few times, he is a decent guy to be fair

 

[Diego Maradona]

Harsh comments directed towards one of our own.

Ah, like Kirk Broadfoot?

 

[huistra23]

That's weird as %^*&. Surely he can't just leave in November during a season?

I think he's retired as a player,and going as a coach

 

[Mitch11]

I would like to see McCrorie going there until the end of the season to hopefully get some game time.

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

I would like to see McCrorie going there until the end of the season to hopefully get some game time.

Would be ideal but they can only take one from another Premiership club at a time and their keeping Lee Hodson whether they like it or not!

Samson - pillar of the community.

 

[Forza_Napoli]

That's a very good idea Mark Allen should be right in the phone offering him up. Plus he'd be playing for s club where he's going to be really busy as they are fighting for there lives right now would do him the world of good

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Strange in terms of timing, but if he's looking at it from a long-term perspective then it makes perfect sense.

Ross is coasting League One with Sunderland at the moment and they have both the resources and a disproportionately good number of quality talents coming through their Elite Academy to be competitive for the next few seasons in the Championship.

He will have a job there for far longer than sitting around and hoping that St.Boo offer him an extension at the end of the season.

Being a Rangers fan doesn’t immediately make you a standup guy on the pitch.

 

[Monty_greenock34]

No brainer move, next chapter of your career making more money or sit at st mirren for a few more years and possibly miss out on the opportunity to coach at a masssive club.

...or Sunderland.

The reason he has gone abruptly is that Sunderland coach has left for another club. Compensation is, wait for it, a friendly against Sunderland.

Will be a miss as a not a bad keeper and good penalty stopper.
