Hair of the Dog – Loch Ness Monster Sightings

By: Cham | Comments No Comments

Christie talks of tearful Caley after Celtic’s late rally, courtesy of The Belfast Telegraph.
Over-the-top quote of the article: “Celtic have made a habit this season of conceding first before winning but yesterday’s last-gasp comeback in this Scottish Cup quarter-final was so late and so stunning that the Loch Ness Monster could have surfaced in the [...]

Match Day Review – How do you spell ‘invincible’?

By: Cham | Comments 1 Comment

Scottish FA Cup Quarterfinal Match
Inverness – 1 (Bayne, 18)
Celtic – 2 (Pressley, 89; Miller, 91)

Match Day Review

Paradise Lost?
A lot has been said to Celtic’s credit these last 24 hours, the youthful defensive presence – like that of Darren O’Dea getting his first Champions League start – standing their ground against the Italians and drawing nil-nil.

More fun found on youtube. While watching some poor lad get stretchered off during the Man City / Preston North End match, I remarked that there’s got to be a few Scretcherings Gone Wrong. And with all things youtube, if you will it, it is so.
