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.

TTTT Scott
B78 …. A big difference between being disappointed and being acceptable for someone to swing a boot at your son. Lets leave it… we will never agree
67 heaven
more chance of sevco getting Arfa from ‘on the buses’
hh
GL2 – drop the captain, a naturally right-sided midfielder who would play with Victor and Joe, in place of Ki? Who’s the capo?!

Burnley
you are probably right about getting the ball back from a player …I was being unfair to Hazard…he could be forgiven for thinking it was a Swansea sub ..
Agree about Laudrup comment too
soooo
are you going to admit to having DRAW/CHELSKI on your line ;-)
just messin’

the ballboy was at it..hazard tried in desperation to kick the ball from under him..his aim was poor and the lad copped a sore one in the ribs…technically hazard had to walk but he surely wouldnt have meant it.

TET…
Magnumed in the catheter !
That doesn’t sound like a lot of laughs. :¬)))
Hazard didn’t even give the ballboy the opportunity to pick the ball up, he pushed him
as he was bending over to pick it up
GL2
At no time did I say Hazaard was right to do what he did….
I also said I would ‘encourage’ my son to apologise for cheating….NOT tell him to.
He is sufficiently educated and capable to know right from wrong. If he showed himself to be such a cheat in public then I hope he would see the wrong example he sets…regardless of the outcome of his actions…
In my opinion ‘consequencies of our actions’ are things we hopefully all learn from…sadly this cheating young man will have achieved fame and notoriety from his, which is no lesson at all.
I stand by that regardless of your challenges to my parenting….
I reiterate I am not saying Hazaard was right to act as he did…

Pure deluded sevconians …….from rm…Honest

I read that thread 67,thems also seem to have swallowed they only got ten million with their share issue.
Maybe they did or!!!
Green also making noises they are running at a loss but could change it in a day but there would have to be a kull of staff that are not needed until thems are back where they belong?
The storm clouds are gathering over iipox way.
Ki with all the time in the world there to finish the game and fluffs it.
If the ballboy really tweeted what’s been alledged, then it has to be taken into account before the FA throw the book at Hazard. That doesn’t excuse the player’s unprofessionalism.

gordy46,
Think you need to watch it again, when Hazard tried to go for the ball the ballboy threw himself onto the ball Hazard never pushed him he dived.
TTTT Although Scott has improved his ball retention I have always said thats his weakness Ki would provide the shirt and long range of passing which we struggle with.
I am a big Joe fan and have debated with PF on here that he could play anywhere in the midfield. Also Biram as well is now getting back to fitness. We dont need just 4 players we need a squad.
I think Ki will end up one of the few players who has left us and went on to better things. He will end up playing against us in the Champions league for an Italian or Spanish club
Re ball boy,
On sky news Rafa Benitez said ball boy came into dressing room and apologised for time wasting and Hazard apologised for his part, police taking no further action…..
Handbags……
GL2
McCulloch…..at CP might be the one exception !!!!! LOL
Seriously I hate ballboys cheating….

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!

If this is genuine……………
I know what I saw tonight, blame can be apportioned to all parties, some more than others.
Manna from heaven for the hacks

Yes we can do that easily enough but it will be Paul’s decision. I will let him know you suggested it and that it is possible.
Time for sleep.
Take care and god bless Timland.

I am curious on stadium naming of ibrox…..has anyone suggested any value offered for this ?
I fail to see more than a few thousand per season….even then I am not sure who would do it other than ashley…
Canamalar, have seen it a number of times and I thought he pushed him,
I accept he may have dived, but hazard was a clown for getting involved at all, just let
the ref add time on
Here’s another view of the ball boy incident
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3LCyTtWhDA
Much ado about zilch……..great comment by Maxtor on the beeb website……
“After seeing the ball boy keep possession of the ball for more than 10 seconds, , Liverpool Fc have made a bid of £20 million for him.”
Hail Hail
Estadio
Burnley It should not matter to you what I think of your parenting skills and It is not the way I meant it to be but you have passed comment on a ball boy you did not know based on little knowledge.
Now for the third time lets leave it and we can discuss over a pint and Dick Byrne might buy
gordy64,
Agree with clown sentiment.
Hail Hail
winning captains
Thanks a mill.
I honestly think that many of us post and realise that we shouldn’t have said what we said, or made a genuine mistake.
A quick edit facility would take away a lot of friction at times as well.
Thanks again.

Bring back the bin
GL2 – aye, I can see Ki playing in Spain, but not for one of the top two.
It’s unfortunate, but ball players have never been adequately protected in our wee backwater, which is yet another reason for us to get the hell out. We need players who can adapt to the very different demands of our domestic league and the “proper football” they will experience in European competitions.
I don’t think Ki could do that, hence his limited amount of starts in domestic games. He was right to move on and I wish him well.
T4
Burmley78, you say you would ask your own boy to apologize if it had been him
would you be happy for someone to call him a scumbag for what he done
winning captains
And I am not the only one who has asked for it, many have asked.
Dusty bin….3-2-1
Free the dusty bin
TTTT we as a club should be dictating how Scottish football is played .. Not every club in Spain plays like Barca. And barca have only played that way recently. Ki is playing well in the EPl which is more kick and rush than the spl.
We can put a couple of pints on it..
Long ago, ally McCoist was a ball boy.
He too lay on the ball to hide it.
To this day, they say the ball has never been seen again.
“ally” is 46 stone.
True story.
Burnley78, with regards to ibrokes, I think someone posted earlier that they were supposed to have been offered 2.5 million by ashley, don’t know for what length
of time it covered
Re ball boy v hazard.
Spoilt brat v spoilt brat………… Move on.
THE EXILED TIM
WTF are you trying to do to us?
Edit our own posts?
Drunken ramblings are the best bit on here-well,sometimes!
Reading back on some of mine is probably the only reason I’m not a shambling alk,quite……
The shame,the embarrassment,the hilarity as I realise I wisnae the only one-it’s all good,IMO.
Enjoy the ould country
GL2 – don’t think so….you’re on a diet, ya fat bassa! :-)

Dermott Gallagher (on radio):
Ref was correct (violent conduct) can be against; a player, official, spectator and/ or a ball-boy – red card.
Up to FA to decide what further action but it will be minimum 3 match ban.
Note: Police have to get involved – the boy (in England) is a minor (aged 17).
