Its Deja Vu All Over Again

If familiarity breeds contempt, then this year’s Champions League Group D is going to be a back alley brawl. And if it goes that route you know who’s coming out on top.
In the 2004/2005 Champions League, Group F finished Milan, Barcelona, Shakhtar Donetsk, with Celtic pulling up the rear.
In the 2006/2007 Champions League, Group […]

As the Champions League draw looms this afternoon, there is no better time to celebrate the man who played the biggest role in getting Celtic through to the group stages. I don’t know what they call the dance that Boruc is doing, but when its set to Bob Marley, it really doesn’t matter. […]

Its official. There is no longer any doubt. Artur Boruc is world class. There is no reason to deny it, or think otherwise. Boruc saved two of Spartak Moskva’s penalties in the decisive shoot out, and pretty much kept the Hoops in the tie with some splendid goalkeeping, especially in the […]
Celtic v Spartak Moskva: It’s On
By: JT | No Comments
Today is the day that we’ve waited two long weeks for (it feels like so much longer, doesn’t it?). After Celtic’s doggedly determined performance on the fake pitch at Spartak Moskva’s Luzhniki Stadium on August 15, all in Timdom have been eagerly awaiting the home leg of this tie. As I so adeptly […]
Celtic 5-0 Hearts: Steppin Up
By: JT | 1 Comment
The Bhoys dominated a dispirited Hearts squad yesterday at Celtic Park, looking like a top class side in the process. Massimo Donati slalomed past two Jambo defenders to score the pick of the goals as Nakamura, Vennegoor of Hesselink, and Scott Brown got on the score sheet as well. Christophe Berra used his […]
Celtic Shorts 08.23.07–Midweek Internationals Suck
By: JT | 1 Comment
Its impossbile to measure the stupidity of mid-week international breaks at the tail end of August. As someone who is a fan of a club team, and no particluar national team, I equate it to preseason American football. Only bad things can happen, with very little possible on the positive side. It […]
Henrik Larsson–King of Kings
By: JT | No Comments
Why do tribute videos always have some slow, sappy, lame Brit pop background music? It makes no sense to me at all. When a player rocks, we should celebrate him in the proper fashion. Therefore, “Bow Down to the King”.

The combination of a fiscally prudent boardroom and sucess on the pitch have led to Celtic’s announcement of a £15m pre-tax profit for the year ending 06.30.07. Along with a dramatically reduced debt of £5m (down £4m), the club’s financial outlook going forward is superb. Remarkably, £11-12m of that profit is a direct […]
Aberdeen 1-3 Celtic: Its Miller Time & Strachan Sees Red
By: JT | 3 Comments
Frustratingly, the pub where I watch matches when I’m in Philadelphia was not showing the Celtic match today. Gaelic sports trumped the Bhoys on this Sunday, so I was out of luck and have to be content with seeing the highlights of the 3-1 victory at Aberdeen on Sky later on this evening. […]
Aberdeen v Celtic Preview: Post Euro Hangover?
By: JT | 2 Comments
Once again I have failed in my mission to locate an Aberdeen supporter to preview this weekend’s match, but this time its my fault. The sordid combination of job hunting, beach time, Celtic in Europe, and general laziness contributed to no attempt being made.
Matches after European adventures are always an interesting proposition. Considering […]
