The Frankenstein of Transfer Rumors

By: Matt | Comments 1 Comment

Gabriel Tamas has officially received the nickname of “Brett Favre” for me. If you do not understand that reference, go to espn.com and look it up. Tamas’ name will not fucking disappear from the news and will continues to be linked with Celtic. Apparently the Romanian defender has made it clear that [...]

Rosemary Burns to fly Champions Flag

By: Matt | Comments 1 Comment

Celtic have announced that Rosemary Burns, the late Tommy Burns’ wife, will be hoisting the 2007/2008 SPL Champions Flag over Celtic Park on August 10th during the pre-match festivities before opening day. This seems like a very fitting tribute to Tommy, especially in a season that was marked by his passing and dedicated to [...]

With the upheaval at Barca this season, the 20 year old Catalonian has been told by new coach Josep Guardiola that he will not be featured in [...]

John Kennedy to Norwich

By: Matt | Comments No Comments

Well, it was just a matter of where. John Kennedy had reported to Motherwell’s camp this summer but the ‘well and Celtic could not come to terms financially. So instead of staying in Scotland, the oft injured Kennedy will be heading to the Canaries to join Norwich. Norwich were able to beat [...]

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink late winner? I’ve heard that story…

By: Matt | Comments 3 Comments

Celtic’s final Portuguese test of the pre-season came against an actual Portuguese team, Porto. Of course there’s some other history between Porto and Celtic but why rehash the past. A highly contested game with lots of opportunities for both sides but remained scoreless to the 86th minute. Up until that point, Porto [...]

Celtic v Porto?!

By: Matt | Comments 7 Comments

I do not think that many Celtic supporters have the belief that during the UEFA Cup final, Porto’s…well…ease to fall let us say, cost Celtic the game. Raab Douglas and Bobo Balde are more realistic culprits, but Celtic supporters still hold a bit of a grudge against the Jose Mourinho led Porto team for [...]

Tamas Deal Falls Through

By: Matt | Comments 3 Comments

It seems the plug has been pulled finally on talks with Romanian defender Gabriel Tamas. Many sources were willing to call the deal all but done, save for some t’s to cross and i’s to dot, but apparently they seemed to be complicated t’s and i’s. Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said that [...]

The Pre-Season is so exciting…

By: Matt | Comments 1 Comment

Celtic have never really been a club to come out of the pre-season friendly gates roaring. Celtic lost 2-0 to the MLS All Stars (though as Julie Foudy just told me, the MLS All Stars have never trailed to its foreign opponent) and needed a super-strike from prisoner Derek Riordan to draw the Chicago [...]

Ugly.

By: Matt | Comments 6 Comments

Well, Celtic’s friendly against Middlesborough was quite shocking. A boring game with neither side bringing many scoring chances let alone goals ended in Celtic saving a 1-1. Middlesborough’s goal Celtic backup keeper Marc Brown BOUNCED THE FUCKING BALL OFF OF A MIDDLESBOROUGH PLAYER INTO THE BACK OF THE NET ON A CLEARANCE ATTEMPT! [...]
