Just how good is Callum Booth? (merged)

**Westie1875** · 26-02-2011 05:09 PM

Cracking goal, that is all

***whiskyhibby*** · 26-02-2011 05:24 PM

Rightly MOM today although Dickoh was excellent

**Hibeesb0unc3** · 26-02-2011 05:30 PM

thought he played well today, good goal, was good on the ball and good at getting forward

**FromTheCapital** · 26-02-2011 05:32 PM

4 outstanding performances today...

Stack - Probably would've got MOM on another day...
Dickoh - Same
Miller - Same

BUT Booth was absolutely magnificent,

for me...

:cgwa :cgwa :cgwa

**hibsbollah** · 26-02-2011 05:33 PM

Reminds me of Murphy. May sound over the top to some but he's got everything you'd want in a full back.

***sleeping giant*** · 26-02-2011 05:36 PM

Knew it was going in as soon as it left his boot

I had a cracking view. I love my seat

Great goal.

***greenlex*** · 26-02-2011 05:37 PM

Motm even without the goal. Great goal and some good quick thinking ftomRiordam with the throw in.

**RickyS** · 26-02-2011 05:42 PM

the lad looks a great prospect, he has a great future in the game. no doubt about it. brilliant goal today as well :cgwa

**Melvin Hibs** · 26-02-2011 05:48 PM

Booth was a stand out today. For someone so young, he is very calm on the ball and his distribution was good and I am sure he is only going to get better under Calderwoods guidance.

Have to agree with that.

Stack again stood up well and his save second half when the Caley player got in behind was crucial.

Booth's touch, pace and delivery is just magnificent. Just a really good performance again from Callum.

Dickoh won nearly everything that came his way, by head, toe poke, and really put his body about today.

Miller - as we all have said, put someone like Palsson (who was also superb second half) and Scott (good first half) who can break up play, hassle and tackle, Liam will shine.

Terrific game of football, I thought Caley also contributed to a great game, and one of the better 90 minute performances for a long time.

For me (there always has to be a wee negative) I thought Derek's touch has deserted him of late and he was poor again (for his high standards). That said, his shot first half looked goalbound all the way before Esson tipped it over.

Was my mom even without the goal. Very Murphy-like.
Could someone remind me how long a deal he signed?

***Winston Ingram*** · 26-02-2011 05:55 PM

what a player that boy is.

I do wonder if he's going to stay as a defender as he's superb technically and he can certainly shift

I thought he was class. His passing was immaculate. He showed pace, skill and great poise. What a wonderful performance today.
Well done laddie.

Oh, and the icing on the cake - that fantastic goal.

4 years I think.

***Sean1875*** · 26-02-2011 06:15 PM

the fact hes only going to get better is brilliant, absolute gem of a player

**mim** · 26-02-2011 06:28 PM

May I just agree that Booth was a standout.

He would have been my MOM without the goal...and what a strike that was.

Miller showed why people believed in him in days gone by......perhaps he can build on this performance.

Dickoh and Hanlon were both excellent and Stack was a rock, bailing out Hanlon when he made his one slip.

Palsson and Scott give us a bit of steel in the midfield and Sodje is a good target man, although he's never going to be a striker, is he?

Riordan and Wotherspoon were below par and Towell was fine.

2014. Gutted I missed his goal.

***Dibben*** · 26-02-2011 06:34 PM

Firs time i've seen him play, he really looked excellent!!!

Great prospect!

***HibbyAndy*** · 26-02-2011 06:37 PM

Well done Lewy tae oan his 1st goal for the club

**Pretty Boy** · 26-02-2011 06:42 PM

Great goal and performance today by Booth.

I probably would have given Stack MOM but you really can't grudge Callum getting it after a top performance and his 1st senior goal for the club.

Really hope he continues to develop as we could well have 3 top defenders on our hands with him, Hanlon and Towell (if we can persuade him to stay and the smellie to let him).

***HibbiesandtheBaddies*** · 26-02-2011 06:47 PM

Cracking performance and fantastic goal

**fife hfc** · 26-02-2011 07:05 PM

Booth is a standout and you can see why so many raved about him during his u-19 days. I love the fact that he is so composed even under pressure and looks for the pass, rather than hump it up the park. A future Scotland star.

**cammy1969** · 26-02-2011 07:43 PM

don't want to go to over the top but i think the lad will turn out to be the best player we have produced in the last 10 years he's got the lot, uncle rod will be drooling just thinking about the cash we'll get for him in 7 or 8 years

well played today son

Excellent news ! glad you didn't go over the top - as far as I know he has no Brazilian Grandparents - so we'll have to stick with Scotland :-)

**WindyMiller** · 26-02-2011 09:02 PM

Just watched his goal on the Fishy site, even better than it looked from the East!

Until June 2015.

A great young player. Delighted that he's finally in the first team.

hfc rd · 26-02-2011 11:54 PM

Different class today. What a player!!! He deserved that MoM. Did not put a foot wrong all afternoon.

**Onceinawhile** · 26-02-2011 11:55 PM

His confidence to take 2,3, or 4 touches is a calming influence on the team. He seems to have an experience that belies his tender years.

He isn't even 10 games into his first team career however so he should be given time to develop, because he will make mistakes.

Very impressed though.

***BroxburnHibee*** · 27-02-2011 12:25 AM

Had quality written all over him from the first time I seen him play for the 19's.

Something brilliant about seeing a young player come through the ranks and grab his place.

Outstanding again today
