Giorgos Karagounis - what a hero

[ron]

.....Then , near the end, he was really inspiring us forward, wanting Schwarz to take a free kick near the half way line - which S declined to do- and that last  minute run into their box - which defintely should have been a pen.

At a time when QPR were playing long-ball, I thought that his calling Schwarzer to the free kick was a sign that Karagounis was  mentally "not there" after his errors. That would have been a suicide attempt that Schwarz saw through right away.

A couple of mistakes.......actually there were three eye-watering mistakes in his game tonight, An absurd back-pass, a penalty conceded, and a fluffed clearance from the second half re-start.....had they have been made by Senderos recently would have confirmed the Swiss in the role of the Antichrist for months to come.

Clearly the board is getting more charitable as the season reaches its climax.

You can be more forgiving when you win and, (effectively) safe from relegation!

Just checking here, do you mean the Greek city of Sparta, of the Battle of Thermopylae fame?

Any other player and he would have been absolutely killed by the crowd last night.
But he keeps plugging away and working hard. Which a couple of others, who shall remain nameless, could have done last night.

I didn't think he was right in calling for Schwarz to take the kick - but it  displayed Kara's commitment to the cause. I suppose he wasn't mentally 'there' - because he was completely  in the zone of trying to score, rather than  sitting back -rather than because of his errors, for i think he accepts that to be constantly involved in the lay means you will make some errors - but isn't that btter than a player who wants to hide and not take responsibility.

OK - he was wrong on this occasion, but I think as fans we find it endearing to have someone who seems totally committed to the cause.
