ian1964 10,385 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 A BRAVE ball boy has vowed to defy the thugs who pelted him with coins and landed him in hospital. Hearts fan Jack Waddell, 14, was targeted by rival fans during his team's clash with Celtic on May 11. He suffered concussion after yobs hurled 2p coins at him - just after Celtic manager Neil Lennon was assaulted by a Hearts fan. But Jack said: "I love helping Hearts and this won't stop me." Jack, of Loanhead, Midlothian, was covering the away end of the SPL match at Tynecastle as he was one of the Edinburgh club's most experienced ball boys. He added: "After the Celtic manager was attacked, the crowd went mental. They were shouting and jeering. "I was hit in the head. I looked down and saw a 2p lying next to me. Then another coin was lobbed and I was hit in the head again." Jack's mum Linda, 39, drove him to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after he fell ill the next day. Tests showed he had sustained a brain injury but he has now fully recovered. A Hearts spokesman said last night: "A thorough investigation into events on that night is ongoing." http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2011/05/23/hearts-ball-boy-pelted-by-coins-from-celtic-fans-says-i-won-t-let-thugs-stop-me-86908-23150864/?sms_ss=twitter&at_xt=4dda4de4da0a2e22,0 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 They are known for throwing things the scummy fans but are never pulled up for it. The SPL/SFA really need to take a hardline, we sing song which are very dubious they actually physically hurt people many many times with throwing incidents plus their songs as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Has anyone who counts questioned why we in Scotland make so much out of a little bit of verbal abuse when yet again Celtic get away with what amounts to assault on someone again? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
