He was a nutter, remember him having a meltdown at one of the ball boys for throwing the ball over his head, first time I'd seen a goalie wear trackies underneath his shorts at the same time as well, a great euro night??

martoon Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) There was a story at the time of the Galloway transfer to Celtic. Something along the lines of Wallace and Doddie meeting Billy McNeil and a Celtic director in an Edinburgh hotel. Billy big baws blundered into the meeting, declared that £500k was the only offer on the table, take it or leave it. Wallace and Doddie said they'd go back into reception and ponder it and, when outwith earshot, whooped with delight. They only wanted 150-200k. They knew that, despite his UEFA Cup exploits, Galloway was no more than a modest footballer. Have to disagree, btw, with previous posters regarding Galloway's heading ability. Never seen such badly timed attempts, before or since. He'd landed by the time the ball went sailing over his head. Mostar away excepted.

It's maybe my old age playing tricks on me Martoon, and I'm crediting him with being a better header of the ball based on one goal! I was sure he scored a few other decent headers, but the ravages of time and the influence of alcohol at most matches in those days may have blurred my memory!

I just seem to recall there was quite a few times in the shed when laughter broke out at Galloway's timing. It could be awful. However, he did score some memorable goals in his time.

No offense intended to you, btw. ? think you might be both right when played in his more natural positions of defence and midfield and attacking the ball he was very good in the air and set pieces too upfront where he wasn't very comfortable (despite doing well for a period) and being asked to flick it on that's when his timing wasn't great a bit like Paterson in Gary lockes team who seemed to win every set pieces and crosses but a lot less when the ball was launched up to him very good player for us was mikey and always turned up in the big games thats another hazy memory opinion anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rods Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 11 hours ago, RobNox said: Yeah, it will be interest to see how he reacts if Hibs start to go backwards. I'm not sure they will be bottom 6, but if they are not in the hunt for 2nd or 3rd he might start to lose the plot. If they are behind us in the league, the fans will start to make their displeasure known, adding to pressure on him. He's had an easy ride for most of his managerial career. First full season at Celtic he was up against McCoist at Rangers, then two seasons with no Rangers. Messed up at Bolton when he didn't have a massive financial advantage over the rest of the league. Inherited Stubbs' team at Hibs, with by far the biggest budget in the Championship, but made heavy weather of winning the league Did well last season to challenge for 2nd and eventually secure a Europa League spot, but there was no huge pressure of expectation on him given it was their first season back in the top flight. It will be interesting to see how he reacts if the pressure starts to mount - the fans expectations are far higher this season than last. They will expect at least a Euro spot and to finish above us again. Spot on they have also been coming out with biggest budget chat. The heat will be on Lennon soon I look forward to this meltdown hopefully come after we take five of them at tynie. I was going to change my horrendous spelling mistake but it seems to have went down well lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was over there for the game and the German press gave us huge credit - one paper said it was the best performance they had ever seen from a Scottish side in Germany. We secured away wins in Dublin and Vienna and a draw in Mostar in what was a very hostile environment. Got beat 2-1 in Mostar unfortnately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
