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.

The only actions Hazard is guilty of is kicking a ball from underneath a ball boy. There was no assault.
Assault isn’t what it used to be … a bit like The Rangers really…
Yellow card for swearing.
and another for insulting a poster.
OFF!
izzy,
I suspect your cynicism is,unfortunately, well placed.
There is no appetite for justice within the Scottish football system…….and Hector is part of it.
He will be more interested in individuals, rather than the club.
Celtic will have to buy into it,or they will be hung, drawn and quartered.
BC or DC are the only honourable options for the club….but, business is business.
Izzy your scepticism re HMRC is shared by me.
How they agreed to have the case heard in private and then anonymise the decision is beyond me.
It stinks.
Wish I was as smart as you. Another swear word, another yellow card offence.
The Ball ‘Boy’ was old enough to be on active service for his country.
He was just being a smart ass.
Players slap team-mates on the back when they score a goal, more violently than Hazard struck this attention seeker.
Assault ?
The world has gone mad.

That’s not what I wanted to hear. I suppose we’ll need to wait and see where it goes.
Hail hail

The boy was even boasting about his intentions to delay play , before a ball had been kicked.
Spain’s unemployment rate has hit a modern day record, with joblessness among young people topping 55%.
Official data showed that the jobless rate in the last three months of 2012 rose 1% to 26%, or 5.97 million people.
The figure, the highest since the mid-1970s, follows Spain’s prolonged recession and deep spending cuts.
The impact has been acute for 16 to 24-year-olds, who saw the rate in the last quarter of 2012 surge to 55.13% from 52.34% in the previous three months.
Spain’s economy sank into recession after its property crash left millions of low-skilled workers without a job, and general economic decline eroded business and consumer confidence.
“We haven’t seen the bottom yet and employment will continue falling in the first quarter,” said Jose Luis Martinez, strategist at investment bank Citigroup.
The figures, from the National Statistics Institute, mean Spain’s jobless rate is twice the European Union average.
The unemployment numbers will be a blow for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s government, which was last year forecasting a jobless rate of 24.6% by the end of 2012.
When Mr Rajoy took office in late 2011 there were 5.27 million people unemployed in Spain.

If there was any evidence that the player deliberately kicked the ball ‘boy’ the police would have charged him with assault.
Look at the lack of reaction from the Swansea players.
………………………………………………………………………………
Do you remember the tackle/assault on John Kennedy while playing for Scotland that effectively ended his promising career??
Absolutely no reaction from his scottish team mates. None at all.
So was it a tackle or an assault?
The boy jinky
Is that a veiled threat in that last post as well?
You’re a cracker you are.
I just found out the ballboy’s name is Peter Lovenkrands…
Coincidence or what???
new article posted.
Izzy
Read it as you wish … Thats what you do
Hazard technically deserved the red card.
As for the ballboy/man – he was clearly ‘at it’ and deserves little sympathy.
As for accusations of ‘assault’….. Ah jeez, get a grip!

Izzy, maybe you didn’t see all the replays (to be kind) but you are being too definitive about where, exactly, Hazard’s boot landed.

A wee extra to this story. . . . .
Three of my sons pals are over in Keyna with the Celtic Charity Group, Victors mum and dad were at one of the events and had brought a mountain of food for everyone to enjoy. The young fellas then showed Victors folks a video shot when he’d recently arrived at Celtic and was playing in one of his earliest matches and the GB, maybe around 200 of them were singing the VW song to the tune of the Marseillaise, all good stuff. Then they played them the video of their son scoring against Barca at CP and the aftermath of his goal when the whole stadium erupted in unison singing the very same song………
The tears of pride and joy were streaming down his fathers face as he said ” my bhoy, my bhoy”
I liked this story

Just seen the “assault” on the ball boy for the first time there. Ball boy was well out of order IMHO the chelski player tried to kick ball out from underneath him to get on with the game. If that is considered assault god help us all , we would be better wrapping ourselves in bubble wrap n not leaving the house in the morning
Sevco supporters statement – any Sevco supporter attending the game is threatened with violence by … Sevco supporters … Any opposition fans having the temerity to display a whimsical banner have violence upon them already… Any organisation members who apply rules against Sevco have violence upon them ….
I see a trend ….
One title that won’t be stripped … Scotlands Shame
