HSS Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 we`re gonna have to disagree on this one Bud. As for the outrage if it happened a crappielow ? We would have received a bill for the cosmetic surgery !!! What would have happened if it was Jim Goodwin that did it at Crappielow? It would have been on the FRONT page of the Record and Sun and you can bet the Compliance Officer,maybe even Cabey, would be involved. It disnae matter who was sitting there........it was an assault. If I was the wee guys Dad I would be giving the PDE a front page story.........the wee guy getting pictured handing over the top he was given and asking for it to be returned to sender.

Stuart Dickson Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Load of nonsense. Kids sitting behind the goal are risking the same thing every week, especially when St Mirren are shooting into that goal. If anything should be questioned it should be the stupidity of putting the family section behind a goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddies1877 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Does anybody know how the kid in the family stand wearing the yellow jacket is after the clown scum player hitting him on the face with a ball?! I work with his dad. Bit of a joke they gave him a Morton top. There was no oppology from the player. How hard is it for them to go ask st Mirren for a top to give the boy instead give him a top he hates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripey Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) According to Facebook, he is fine and returned to watch the Match. A Morton Coach presented him with a Morton Top. The top is tacky, cheap and I would not wipe my arse with it. It was a completely unnecessary and deliberate kick of a ball that was already out. Morton's player Barr, who should be fined by the club, only showed remorse when he realised he struck the ball so hard it clattered a child's face and the fact he did not want to be booked. He should be ashamed of his action and an apology on twitter is not good enough. No doubt Morton will take no action against him. I am pleased to read that the young boy is alright. Finally why some Morton fans found this funny is beyond comprehension, but does show what thicko,s they are.

Does anyone remember a while back the wee 7 or 8 year old St Mirren ball boy getting ballootered on the chest by the ball and when he burst out greeting a sympathetic voice from the West Bank shouted "man up you" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 ffs this is embarrassing stuff. you have thought the player had jumped the wall and repeatedly hit the boy across the face with a brick. the player got carried away and has apologised. he should be punished but ffs some of the outrage is pathetic.

buddies1877 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Quite hard actually since there's no tops in the Club ShopEhh you think he got a Morton top in his size?Instead of giving him a Morton player top they could of asked for a st Mirren players top.

aldo_j Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Just be glad he never spat on you or chased you with a sword.... Couldn't do anything after requiring a face transplant...ball hitting face is a life threatening injury.

Losing My Religion Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 My dad used to to take me to Dunterlie to see Athurlie when I was a lad. I remember being about 7 or 8 and watching the a match from the giant grass roller behind and to the side of the goals. Twice in one match I was hit on the chest and knocked off the roller onto the grass. I died on both occasions. I got better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Urquhart Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Of course the ball was not deliberately kicked at the kid's face but the Morton player should still have been booked for it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E=Mc2 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I remember one Sunday playing fitba in the mid 60s with my big brother and his pals in the Camphill playground. One end was a large set of pillars we used as goals. The guy in goals was a smoker and didn't even put his ciggie down will playing. He put it in his mouth when he was attempting a save. I remember as if it was yesterday. The ball smacked him square in the face. Tobacco and ash all over his totally stunned fisog. We were all pishing ourselves. Aye, the good auld days.

What offence would you book him for? From FIFA - Laws Of The Game - Law 12 Fouls And Misconduct A player is cautioned and shown the yellow card if he commits any of the following seven offences: • unsporting behaviour • dissent by word or action • persistent infringement of the Laws of the Game • delaying the restart of play • failure to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, free kick or throw-in • entering or re-entering the field of play without the referee’s permission • deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee’s permission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 The same offence that Will Haining got booked for and subsequently sent off for at ICT. He was angry and booted the ball against the advertising hoardings. Unsporting behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can an accident be classed as unsporting behaviour? Edited November 23, 2015 by Stuart Dickson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) The way you describe it sounds like Haining was booked for dissent. How can an accident be classed as unsporting behaviour? Kicking the ball away is unsporting behaviour, it doesn't need to be kicked out the park. FWIW, I don't believe the Morton player deliberately kick the ball at a section of kids. He did intentionally kick the ball into the spectators though which is pretty poor.

Was any other regular poster playing that day? I've racked my wee bit brain and I can't think what pillars you mean. We sometimes used a pillar at the front of the boys' kludgies as a post but I only remember one. The other obvious goalmouth was behind the school where there was a gap in the wall that separated the boys playground from the girls. Right beside the girls' toilets. It was a hanging offence to go into their areas but we did it to get our ball back. Well, it was a good excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory remembers the playground where we played football being to the left as you leave the assembly hall. I have just spoken to my brother and he remembers we used the gap at the boys' toilets and there was perhaps only one pillar. The "goals" at the other end were on the dining room wall. He remembers it as the summer of 1970. https://youtu.be/wvUQcnfwUUM?list=RDwvUQcnfwUUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
