Last night when Neil Lennon told BBC Radio Scotland that Norwich’s second offer for Gary Hooper was “not as high as £6m” and that despite reports, the club had not tabled a fresh contract offer to the player, you would be forgiven for thinking the entire transfer saga was a product of fantasy.
Neil also confirmed Gary’s contract offer from Celtic is due to expire on 1 February, when I understand the player’s current representation deal also expires.
None of this counts where it really matters. Gary continues to perform like a player on top of this game. St Mirren next, then he can start the countdown to Juventus. Put the Italians in their place and he will attract attention from more than a plucky green and gold tribute act.
A corner of Glasgow stood still today to bid farewell to Sean Fallon. Sean’s 19 grandchildren delivered touching bidding prayers while son Sean recounted many of the times and habits which shaped his father’s life. It was a fitting tribute to such a great life, marked by sincere and loving words from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Mentioned another incident with a ballboy at Newcastle/everyone game.
Best league in the world?! Pffftt!
Denys : the 10 terminus was in Springboig.
Senga, always remember that sometimes you’ll post, some will agree, nod their heads, but not reply, never give into the temptation, as others have, to get another log in and talk to yourself..
Message not aimed at your good self mate.
Keep posting, beware, it gets addictive at times.
henrik,
great post completely puts it as it is, my one fear and concern is we have men from our club who are on these so called governing bodies and pl himself is on the professional board,
now i ask in a serious and genuine way are our men being by passed or are they with this? if being out voted its time to
resign if not then its time to seriously get worried because
it means a continuation of the same old guard and the same old
cheating and us by agreeing to particapate means we accept this,
there are no circumstances in which our club must accept any proposals from this bunch of charlatans for to do so is tantamount to saying they are men trustworthy and full of utmost integrity, i ask fellow celts considering what they have been at for decades is it not right that some one within our club[and other clubs] calls for a complete clean sweep and a new body formed
to take all the clubs forward with true sporting integrity at
the heart of this new body, to do otherwise is in my opinion
makes us willing backseaters.
Everyone= everton
Putting it in a football perspective………………….. into injury time and the GK smothers the ball – if Hazard had booted him – he would have got a card red or yellow depending on the severity of the kick (unless he was Amarusso).
Sipsini, some real dross down the lower leagues but plenty world records
Greenyin
He booted the kid on the ribs !!
Jail beckons.
Well…we do look after ’em good. Everytime Ki rampaged forward tonight, Swansea looked genuinely dangerous.
(Mebbe too good an ad for us being a shrewd feeder team.)
Still good to see though: the Bhoy done good.
If that incident had happened at a hun game, the ball boy would get banned.
Ballboy (from Team A) smothers the ball, and against any instructions he will have previously been given, does not allow a player access to it, and infact, purposely impedes player from getting to the ball and generally acts like a wee pain in the arse.
Player (from Team B) over reacts to a wee boy taking the mickey, and in the process of trying to regain the ball, deliberately takes a kick at the ball boy in question.
If you support Team A, the player was 100% to blaim.
If you support Team B, the ballboy was 90% to blaim (player 10% to blaim for reacting to provication).
Who you support will determine who you proportion blaim to.
If you are a neutral, irrespective of who was to blaim (Hazard!!), you know the player is getting a 12 match ban shoved up his pokey- Ye cannae go about kicking weans, irrespective of how big pains in the arse they are.
” Ah don’t mind children….so long as you cook ’em well. ” (W.C. Fields)
…..and Chelsea F.C.
SFTB if he had put his hand on a player who fell down on the ball then kicked at the player he would have been sent off. To do it to a ball boy then there is no defense for it.
The ball could easily have gone into the crowd and a member of the public could have held onto it, or if it was someone like Hamilton Tim, attempt to control it with his face and watch it skite off in a random direction.
The ball boy should have stayed faithful to the ball boys’ code and not have held up play, but he is only a boy.
What would people have said if a player had gone in like that on a fan? It would be have been Eric Cantona déjà vu.
And what if it was your laddie? You’d be furious and rightly so. If a teacher did that in a bounce game at PE the local authority apparatchiks and the heidie would take a hairy fit.
What if it had come to this that night a Deady Bears haddie berated a ball bhoy at Celtic Park over a throw-in, when the ball bhoy shuffled the ball behind his back because he knew it was a Celtic throw even though the caddie was in his face demanding to take the throw for his dead team? I would not have been the tiniest bit surprised if Celtic fans would have taken to the field to protect the ball bhoy.
If professional footballers want millions of pounds, they have to be professional. And if they can’t behave like professionals they have to take what’s coming to them.
If that ballboy was Glaswegian he would have stuck the nut on him
“@ViewsfromtheJun: That ballboy incident wouldn’t have happened at parkhead. Our ballboys never get off their lazy arses”
Sally demands to know the name of the ball boy.
Canamalar,cheers for the reply,if it was elbows a couple more huns would join in
Emerald Bee – I’ve witnessed a few games this season, where the club should have complained either privately or publicly to the SPL & SFA about the level of officiating. The four fouls, four bookings game more than sums it up for me.
That’s an entirely seperate point to the one I was making about Ki. He didn’t like players getting in his face….legally or otherwise!
T4
I blaim the alphabet.
danso….,
I expect our representatives are waiting for us to do everything again, it will take a group of shareholders or supporters to sue the SFA for compensation
I am a wonderful judge of young people based on hair style alone. The ball boy is a twat.

“@BBCSport: Former referee Dermot Gallagher on @bbc5live: “Referee Chris Foy was absolutely correct to send off Eden Hazard, it is violent conduct.””
Flashbacks of Brian Glover in Kes,bullying the weans,brilliant stuff.
bobbycharltoncsc
T4, that’s a fair point, if football was a non contact sport, Ki would shine.
Kicking a kid in the ribs.
A dumb move, a certain red card.
And fair play to the Swansea players and crowd for keeping reasonably calm.
Could’ve gotten nasty.
A strange one.

JJ ,I take it your bald?
The wee innocent ballboy was on twitter 5 hours before the game saying he was going to time waste, his last game as a ballboy!

The king of all ball boys is back making his final appearance #needed #for #timewasting
Eden Hazard
Just seen it.
Madness.

“SFTB if he had put his hand on a player who fell down on the ball then kicked at the player he would have been sent off. To do it to a ball boy then there is no defense for it.”
I accept that this will be the view generally taken. I think there is a defense (he did not push him and in attempting to kick the ball, he unintentionally kicked the boy too).
I also think the defense will not be listened to. Let’s hang the Chelsea player:- Kicking ballboys is a Moral Hazard committed by Immoral Hazards.
BTW- Did we not have a fairly similar incident at Ibrox last year where a ballboy threw the ball away from our player, and had to be moved because our fans were baying at the ballboy. OK, we did not kick him but we were definitely abusing him
Voguepunter.
Nearly dropped my can there.
Ballboy
100% to blame
Hazard-what can he do-he certainly cant stand and wait for the brat to play fair
“Player kicks ballboy” shocker!

The ball boy will get it.
Lenny will get the blame
verdantvic,
Hazard should have been more professional, if he has children then he should know how frustrating petulant children can be, if not he’s got a lot to learn.
……………..’mon ra ballbhoy!”
