Banned from Celtic Park for a story on Sean Fallon's canceled testimonial?

Any ideas?

 

Ask Leggo

 

Unless he's been re-banned for something else since last week, that's not what he was banned for.

 

I googled it to see if there's any specific reason floating about as a rumour.

I got this piece of brilliant Leggo-led infighting

Was he banned last week then?

What's going on?

 

Been googling.

Best explanation seems to be (from KDS)

 

Not got a scooby.

 

Awesome



So...





There's a ticket going...?

 

I heard he was banned last Monday for something else.

For the life of me, I can't remember what it was though, but it was snidey stuff.

 

CELTIC Football Club is delighted to announce that club legend Sean Fallon has agreed to join Celtic chairman Ian Bankier in unfurling the League Championship flag on August 4, making it a 90th birthday celebration to remember for Sean. Sean Fallon is one of Celtic´s greatest servants and he celebrates his 90th birthday on July 31, 2012. Sean’s son, Sean junior, said: "The whole family is absolutely delighted at this gesture. My father is over the moon at being asked to do this and I know he will be a very proud man on August 4."

A story in a Scottish Sunday newspaper last weekend suggested that Celtic had refused to take part in a friendly match against Sligo Rovers this summer to mark the 90th birthday of the former Celtic player and assistant manager. However the family was keen to clarify this and Sean junior added: "The Fallon family has an excellent relationship with Celtic and with our many friends at the club.

"It’s extremely disappointing that a newspaper could have potentially soured this relationship by printing such an inaccurate and ill-informed story. "We fully understand that Celtic cannot schedule this fixture at present due to pre-season commitments.”

A spokesperson for Celtic said: "Sean Fallon is an extremely popular Celt and one whose magnificent contribution to Celtic’s history is greatly appreciated. "Any suggestion that the club have snubbed Sean by refusing to take part in a friendly match with Sligo is completely untrue and that particular story has caused needless upset to Sean and his family. "We were always planning to honour Sean on his 90th birthday and on August 4, as well as marking our League Championship success before our game against Aberdeen, our supporters will come together to celebrate the huge contribution made to Celtic by one of the club´s greatest sons."
