Its been over twenty four hours since Scotland’s fantastic 1-0 win in Paris over France, so I find it positively incredible that we haven’t heard from Ian at the Scotland Offside yet. It must mean he’s having one hell of a good time, or recovering from one hell of a good time.
I […]

Its on. Finally the time has arrived to do away with excuses for poor performances, and arguments about who is atop the power rankings of the SPL. The matches matter now, and in the buildup to the season opener against Kilmarnock, there is bad injury news. Your hero and mine, the Holy […]

Sorry for the lame link dump today, but its “Waterslide Sunday” in my world. I love those stupid things, but kids annoy me in general, so I don’t waterslide nearly as much as I should. Today I will tolerate those little rascals though, for I was born to waterslide.
Aiden McGeady scored the late […]
Magpies Stuff Celts, No Need to Worry

That look from King Artur says it all. A frustrating first-half performance against Newcastle saw Celtic down 3-0 at the break, and an improved display during the second half left the final score at 4-1.
Scott Brown has become the heartbeat of the squad already, although it doesn’t really look like his incredible […]
Celts Visiting St James’ Park Tonite!
By: JT | 3 Comments
I’ll keep my remarks relatively brief today, because I need to mentally prepare myself for the first meeting of the new season for the Supporters Club. It’s Newcastle hosting the Celts, and since its an afternoon match around here, the bar will be open. Normally we have to wait till 11 when there’s […]
Superb Keano-Kill Michael Owen Cartoon!

In honor of tomorrow’s friendly for the Bhoys against the perpetually injured Little Mickey Owen and Fat Sam’s Geordies, I implore you to view the following bit of animated genius:
That noise Owen makes after Keano smears him is priceless!
These two are destined to be enemies forever. First Liverpool-ManUtd and now N’Castle-Sunderland. Amazing how […]
Lessons from the Trip to the States
By: JT | 1 Comment
The Celtic Football Club recently completed a two match, week-long trip to these United States, and while its difficult to draw too many concrete conclusions from what we witnessed during the friendlies, there are some things that are fairly obvious. Let’s start from the back:
• Artur Boruc is indisputably world class. There […]
Chicago Fire 1-1 Celtic FC Highlights
By: JT | No Comments
Highlights from Celtic’s less than impressive draw with the Chicago Fire yesterday. Deek Riordan’s goal was of undeniable quality as was the play of Cuauhtemoc Blanco making his debut for the Fire. The Hoops have some work to do. Its a traveling day for me, I’ll catch up on all the goings […]
Do Friendlies Exploit Supporters?
By: JT | 4 Comments
As I saw the looks on the faces of Celtic supporters towards the end of the club’s atrocious performance against the MLS All Stars, I couldn’t help but answer with a resounding “YES”. It’s a safe bet that all the good folks who came wearing Hoops were not from the metro Denver area, but […]
Celtic Shorts 07.22.07–Playing with Fire
By: JT | 2 Comments
The Hoops finish up their US tour this afternoon with a match against Chicago Fire in their brand spankin’ new stadium, Toyota Park. It’ll be sexy beast Cuauhtemoc Blanco’s debut, but its unlikely that it’ll pack the punch of Beckham’s party in LA. Certainly the Bhoys will be looking to improve on their […]
