athens-saint Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Does anyone remember what happened to the tached Eddie Gallagher? I seem to recall him being sent off, and never re-appearing for the Saints. Can someone shed some light? Oh Eddie, Eddie! Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie GALLA-GHER!

stormtrooper Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) I think he played for Yee Hope in Hong Kong alongside Stephen Watson for a while. Edited December 15, 2005 by stormtrooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) Gallagher (17 goals in 35 games) and Lavety were a great partnership. He (Gallagher) had a bust up with Jimmy Bone, possibly over a sending off as he always was a niggly bastard with a penchant for late tackles. Left for a Hong Kong team, which, if I recall correctly, pretty much ended our season. After that..............................

Eddie had banged in a hat trick and big Baz had missed half a dozen sitters as we destroyed Dumbarton. 3-0 up with ten miuntes left. Final score - 3-3 ! Only St Mirren.......

supermac Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I remember the Bells Cup semi at Somerset when Eddie blatently punched what would have been a winner into the Ayr net in front of the away fans. That was chopped off but he came up with the goods later on to send us thru Great tache too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbie Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I met Eddie about 4 years ago. He was working at the Community Complex outside Ib*ox, doing some sort of coaching. Really nice guy, but by the sounds of it, with some really dodgy underworld connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkL Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 His stepson used to be in my class. He was rumoured to be dealing at the time, no one quite beleived that until he was murdered, he turned up under floor boards in a house in Govan.

Dirty Sanchez Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I remember the Bells Cup semi at Somerset when Eddie blatently punched what would have been a winner into the Ayr net in front of the away fans. That was chopped off but he came up with the goods later on to send us thru 217315[/snapback] I also remember the next game at Somerset,when Ayr were blatently out to get him,culminating in Eddie eventually being stretchered off with a serious injury. The shower of f*cks were still greeting about the fact that Eddie should have been sent of for his basketball goal, i.e. he shouldn't have been on the park when he scored the real winner. The only problem with that is that punching the ball into the net isn't an offence that you can actually be sent off for. Stick to howking totties,lads. I'd love to know the real reason why Bone let him go. I hope it was a good one because Gallagher had a dynamite partnership with Basher at the time. Yet,Bone's comments made Eddie sound disposable and Bone talked of the great kids we had to replace him. It was Alex Bone he was talking about...

Professional foul? Deliberate handball? Ungentlemanly conduct? I'm sure if a ref sent someone off for it he could justify it with any or all of those reasons.

I'm sure if a ref sent someone off for it he could justify it with any or all of those reasons. 217580[/snapback] I've always felt that if a defender can be sent off for preventing, or attempting to prevent, a goal by deliberate handball, then an attacker should also be sent off for scoring or attempting to score, a goal by deliberate handball. But there is no law or rule to cover the situation. Probably at worst he'd be booked for "unsporting behaviour" - the new, PC description for ungentlemanly conduct Edited December 16, 2005 by Reidy1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Sanchez Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Are you sure? Professional foul? Deliberate handball? Ungentlemanly conduct? I'm sure if a ref sent someone off for it he could justify it with any or all of those reasons. 217580[/snapback] I've thought about that as the the only way it could be justified,e.g. one booking for deliberate handball and another for unsporting behaviour. I would have thought it unlikely that you could pick up two separate bookings for one offence. The only similar situation I can think of was when Kenny McDowall was sent off for sarcastically applauding the referee for giving him his first booking,but then,those were two very distinct offences. Not for a second did I think that Gallagher was in danger of a red card that night,and I'd doubt that there were many people who did. I've just never seen a precedent.
