Wullie! 8 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Was about the 35th minute in the game today (I know it was late first half anyway) and the Broomloan where singing "Sasa Papac *clap clap clap clap clap*" to the tune of the "we are the people" chant, and Mr Papac himself turned to the fans and applauded them :unionflag: I found it good anyway The big mans playing excellent at LB for us this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big bosnian has been solid and his overall game has improved IMO. His passing and ability to get down the line is much better than it was 8months ago! Smith could have a hard time getting back into the team!! Was happy that he applauded the fans as well, must have been a pleasant surprise for him!

ExiledWeegie123 1,290 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 our LB for the forseeable future imo well should be after his performances this season,him and smith fighting it out will do for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCLoyal9 53 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Sasa is a centre half by nature and I have to say I've been hugely impressed by how he has aquitted himself in the left back role. He is not a natural fullback and perhaps that shows in his sub-standard crosses , but overall he has filled in superbly. A player whose effort is never found wanting , and what a cooly taken penalty in Florence. I like this guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,787 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Apart from getting shafted for the goal today, he has been doing incredibly well, always been a fan and have always said good about him, he seems to be getting forward a bit more aswell and found himself in the box trying to get on the end of a cross again!!

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I love the way Papac goes about his role so calmly - he's a valuable cool head and a classy passer of the ball. First class work from him this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 762 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 At Fir Park earlier this year, me and my mate had a Bosnia flag out at HT for him running out. he clapped in our direction, then after the game he ran up to the area where we were and signed some autographs and got some pictures taken when the rest of the players had went in. Good ol' Sasa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotBear 144 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I've really grown to be very fond of Papac this season. Delighted with him. Ok, he's not the best going forward, but I'm still of the school of thought that believes defenders should be able to defend first and foremost, and defensively, Papac has been reliable at every level this season. I also think he looks a bit 'grittier' this year. He's more aggressive, thundered into a couple of challenges today. He arrived a composed player, and now he's added a bit more aggression to his game, which has improved him further. If he's our left back next season, that's fine by me. Stevie Smith has good potential, and he's got a fight on his hands to get that jersey back. It's a win-win situation for us, two very worthy candidates for the left back slot. Lets just hope Stevie finds a level of consistent fitness that allows him to compete strongly for the position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I echo all the above sentiments. Did you know he had a terrible crash and had a while recuperate from serious maxillofacial operations? He has a fair bit of character, the lad, as do a few of them. Walter's wisely picked good strong characters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine! 15 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 He has improved alot, he doesn't bomb up the field like say Numan or Hutton but he hardly wastes a pass and rarely gets made a mug of *coughs* broadfoot *coughs* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 505 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Yeah, it was great when he applauded the band of fans (including yours truly) who sang his name today. Papac has had an excellent season by and large and has really make a mockery of some of the 'woeful' comments aimed at him earlier in the campaign. He does need to work on some parts of his game (namely aggression in the tackle and closing down wide players quickly) but he's proved a decent signing for next to no money in modern terms.
