daver Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Stevie Woods certainly hasn't been trying to blend into the background in any of the footage of the Celtic celebrations that I've seen. He's made a very good career as a goalkeeping coach out of debatable talent (I personally think there's a fair amount of selective memory involved). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 i v got selective memory and every memory iv got of Mr Woods are fukin nightmares . May be a good coach but he was total shite as a player ,let us down on many occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In with the bricks at Celtic but nothing to do with his talents. 'Sellick minded' i think is the term they use for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm delighted a long time servant of our club had made a name for himself as a top coach. I hope plenty of others follow in his footsteps as it does nothing but good to our reputation as a club. I know we've had this discussion before, but you don't need to have been a top class player to be a top class coach. Totally different skill sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I don’t think Stevie Woods was anywhere near as bad a goalie as a lot of people remember. However, when he messed up...he really messed up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a period where he was more or less costing us a goal a game. I agree that in general, there's some people going over the top here, but Samson was a horror show. (As was Fraser, Woods, Neilsen, Hollis and others, tbf) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Samson was a decent shot stopper, but he always seemed to parry the ball back into the danger area. I’d have said close on half the goals we were conceding were from a follow up to a “save” or just a general fuck up. I actually thought (and hoped) he’d turned a corner with the fans after the game at NDP with a decent performance and the celebration of thecequaluser, but IIRC he was back to throwing goals in a few weeks later in the 1st or 2nd game after the winter break.

ONeils4oyarder Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I don't think I've ever seen a goalkeeper that isn't a decent shotstopper...its par for the course to be able to stop shots, the difficult bit is in handling, organising and an ability to judge crosses and come off your line, Samson done none of these things well.

So what you're saying is; he was a bad shot-stopper, as he batted them into the six yard box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot stopper, bad goalkeeper. He’d be good in a penalty shoot out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 For all his faults, Samson ended up doing better than Twardzik after he left us. And people on here kept trying to persuade me Dan was going to be the answer to our goalkeeping problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmostFrazzled Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Craig Samson was absolutely horse shit. Coupled with having a defence including Zak Jules and Joe Chalmers it's no wonder we got pumped rotten at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither were good, both cost us points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmostFrazzled Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Twardzik was on emergency loan at a time where the rest of the time were absolutely unstoppable so views on him were probably kind of fudged. When he signed permanently he was nae good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obvious at the time that, during his loan spell, he benefited from an improvement in form from the rest of the team. But there were still those who were convinced just putting him between the sticks suddenly made guys like McFadden play better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
