Gordon Parks not a happy man.
Putting a downer on young Karamoko Dembele playing and how the pressure is on him to maintain it and how one of the bigger boys will surely clatter him, soon.

Karamoko Dembele playing in the Celtic Under-20 side is a step too far for a thirteen year old - Gordon Parks

While I get the reasoning behind playing this boy in 20's (to add extra 0's on the end of fee we get and to attract attention of the other big clubs rather than just the English who are hovering) it doesn't sit right that Celtic as a club should be putting pounds ahead of the safety of the boy.

I get he's incredibly gifted but his body hasn't developed as much as his talent and should some 19, 20 or even first team player cemented him or even fell with 14 or 15 stone landing on the boys knee then would that have been worth the extra money?

Not to mention the ridiculous attention the kid will now be getting which he might not be able to cope with.

Surely this is another example of the Celtic business being put in front of the Celtic 'family'/ good of the boy

He played 8 minutes of a match he would never have featured in if the team wasn't bare due to internationals. Christ if we weren't winning 3-1 I still doubt he would have featured.

It was a learning curve for the kid and he will rightly go back to ripping the under 16's repeated new arseholes.

Former prodigy Paul George has signed for Ballarat Red Devils in Australia.

Funny how he and McGlinchey both signed their contracts on the pitch and both ended up heading to the other side of the world in search of a team.

Take note Karamoko...

Exactly. The whole crux of the argument is that a grown man will inevitably and deliberately halve a child. Why is that assumed and accepted?

Only Celtic and Scotland as a wider society of clowns would have a good news story like this as a bad thing and drag up child exploitation and how we scout players. This is why we will remain a sporting backwater. Ive said it before we start our kids too late in this country. One example ill use is pretty dangerous sport in skiing. I was feeling all pleased with myself as a teenager rattlign down the Jean Claude Killy olympic run in Val d'Isere when out of nowhere a group of weans all attached to a bungee come tearing down this olynpic run leaving me for dead. Amazed i asked several folk about this and the response from the Ski School of France was as soon as they can stand they put them on skis and start to train them. At a 5/6 they are already more competent than most adult holiday makers from the UK.

Other ccountries adopt the "if they are good enough they are old enough" and also the mindset that training, discipline and dedication from an early age is key. We are obvioulsy doing things right though as we are the leaders of the development of young talent accross the sporting world and should leave them till they are way behind their peers worldwide.

Only in Scotland (and with the team concerned being Celtic) could the story of a hugely promising 13 year old kid getting a (very) brief run-out in an U-20 game be twisted and perverted into a anecdote about child exploitation! What glue does this Gordon Parks guy sniff?

ISLAM FERUZ would never claim to be a role model for Karamoko Dembele.

But he definitely knows the potential pitfalls on the road to a successful career in football.

And he hopes 13-year-old Celtic sensation Dembele does a better job of avoiding them than he did.
