Great talent deserve a stage, even if its owner is not worthy

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I see former Celtic youth prodigy Islam Feruz has been talking to the media. He has taken the Liam Miller football career path, hyped beyond belief at Celtic, disappear into anonymity at an English club, before pitching up at Hibs.

Feruz, who turns 20 tomorrow, is three years younger than Miller was when he left Celtic, so the Somali-born Scotland-eligible player has time on his side, but apart from a bank account which few leaving their 20s could scarcely imagine, and no doubt plenty of life experiences of living as a young footballer in London, the script thus far could have been so much better for the player.

I watched him at youth level and it was clear he had more ability than any of his peer group, but turning a school leaver into a great talent takes more than inherited gifts. It requires work, sacrifice and a willingness to learn. Scottish football’s folklore is full of tales of unfulfilled potential.

There’s no love lost with Feruz. He took what was on offer from Celtic and left the moment he was able to sign for an English club, but I hope he makes it, both at Hibs this season and thereafter as a great player. Great talents deserve a stage, even if its owner is not always worthy.

Thanks to everyone who got the ball rolling yesterday with our Walfrid and Directors’ Box hospitality auction for the Foundation, and special thanks to club sponsor Intelligent Car Leasing, who provided the prize.  It’s a money-can’t-buy experience for three people to enjoy, so eat, drink and enjoy – but you’ll need to bid here first.

    spootiemad – You need to install Sports Devil on to the Kodi platform for sports and Genesis if you want to watch movies, TV shows etc, Kodi is a bit like having an iPhone with no apps, you have to install things on to Kodi unless you buy a fully loaded one from eBay, you can find out how to install Sports Devil on to Kodi if you search on you tube.

    One of the things that Lenny told a respected poster from here was concerning James Forrest.

     

    He said that he wasn’t always injured, but that it was always a condition of one sort or another that he had, he didn’t expand on that, but make of it what you will.

    I probably, came in around the time they were ending. T. Conroy ran it after them. I ran the team after him. Don’t remember Galardia ( Steamboats used to meet at Glenbervie, not sure before or after game), but Mistrel were one of the top teams and other from East end of Glasgow, AC Milanda, West of Scotland (David Moyes, dad used to run them). Alan Brazil played one game for Steamboats as a school boy. KTF C

     

     

    ===========================================================================

     

    Cheers,pal.

     

    The Dunns,of Clyde fame,started Steamboats and were instrumental in starting the Satuday morning league.

     

    Sky Blues,Unigers,Sarsfield and Vojva….na.!!!!!!!!!! were our opponents.

     

    Steamboats have an annual dinner in Glasgow

    Any player not happy with Ronny can do one. Open war should be declared on any fatso, waster or barfly who undermines Ronny in the press.

    The Celtic shirt does not stretch to fit fat b’s.

    Feruz? I have never met the young man nor see him play, my only knowledge of him is that Tommy Burns brought him in under his wing. Allegedly TB looked out for both him and his family over and above the call of duty. He maybe didn’t owe Celtic but he sure as hell owed TB. I wish him no harm but in all honesty I won’t be a supporter of his career.
