Minor detail: I just realized that the link to the original blog in The Celtic Star article is a little wonky and could be throwing up an error message about an unsafe site. Let me assure you that the site is safe, unless maybe you're a Sevco fan, and I am sure the link will be fixed on the Star article thanks to a panicky email I sent several minutes ago (thanks, Cap!).
Anyway, the link to the original site is here:

Aye but he canny shoot, (copyright the Broonie).
Wee mhan is gonna be a star imho, and watching him rip the p oot the livvy chib men on Sat was a joy.
Its a pity he cant play against the French as their defenders tended to dive in against us in the first game, with a fair minded ref he might have got us 4 penalties, ach dont be daft
50 naebody gets 4 pens in one game,,,,o wait

I hope you are right Larry - he does look like an exceptional talent. I suspect like Jinky this isn't all down to natural ability, but comes from thousands of hours as a youngster practising, practising, practising with a ball at his feet.I don't know, Bridie. I don't know if Frimpong will have the career that Jinky had (and I actually hope he does, especially if it's with us), but if you watch his play and you watch old videos of Jinky, the moves are pretty similar. It's really something you can't teach -- both those guys were born to turn ankles on defenders trying to guard them.
That, essentially, was my point. And I'm sticking with it
He has played about half a dozen games and been man of the match or received rave notices after nearly every game, so has started even stronger and quicker than anyone believed possible, which shows a mental toughness as well as a lot of skill.
I am just wary about over-hyping him far too early. Over the years us Celtic fans have seen so many youngsters who found being tagged "The Next ..." as a burden rather than an inspiration, including Simon Donnelly, Gerry Creaney, Tony Watt, Liam Miller, Mark Burchill, etc, etc. It wasn't due to a lack of talent that we never saw them reach their full potential at Celtic.
He is special though, so I would be delighted if he became a legend for us but I don't want to jinx him.

Agreed. I will grant you that, Bridie, and God forbid I should jinx the young lad for making the comparison.

Great article Larry and I actually agree on the comparisons on style believe it or not! the balance and the drop of the shoulder is rather similar and I am in no way scared that he'll buckle under the hype. He seems so driven focused and determined on top of the talent. This is just the beginning.
Nice plug for UGFC in your last piece Larry

Only two Boaxes Oan here Hoopy yill need somewhere else to think ootside oFeck aff! I was trying to think outside the box and ended up boxing myself in!
. but I think Frimpong is the real deal.
and some of his turns as I said earlier are Jinkyesque. I too would push him up and
have Elhamed at RB.
oh Hoopy try thinking ootside the litter tray
Might smell o
but it’ll clear your head

Does anyone know if wee Frimpong had leg issues when he was a kid?
I've seen a few photos where his legs look really bowed, might be an optical illusion but I don't think so.
Sometimes these things can work in your favour, Garrincha the great Brazilian had one leg much shorter than the other and he was some dribbler!

Thanks, Niall! Also, for those who want to read the post about United Glasgow FC that Niall is referring to, it's here:
(Yes, that's today's shameless self-promotion.... )
