Celtic’s Hiring Standards Do Not Include The Common Man
By: chris |Genius find from Matt over at the Celtic Offside.
The Hoops are currently looking for a manager. The search hasn’t gone spectacularly well – particularly if you ask Tony Adams – so a certain Celtic fan and online forum member decided to toss his hat into the ring. He whipped up a letter teeming with [...]
Rangers Fans Fool Celtic Fans With “Operation Tango”
By: Daryl |We all know how Rangers and Celtic fans feel about each other. But this is just mean.
Rivaldo + Cristiano Ronaldo = Kyle Lafferty
By: Daryl |If one player could emulate the skills of both Brazilian legend Rivaldo and current WPOTY Cristiano Ronaldo, that player would be one unstoppable step-over fueled goal machine right?
Well, it all depends on which skills said player decided to take. Rangers Northern Irish striker Kyle Lafferty decided Rivaldo’s hilarious corner flag routine (second link for that [...]
The Hand of God: Scottish Edition
By: chris |Would that make it “Hand of Apostle” or something? Don’t know. What we do know is this is one of the most blatant handballs in the history of ever and the fact that he got away with it means this entire refereeing crew should be reassigned to Brazil. Despite Bryan Prunty being a giant [...]
Kris Boyd’s Transfer Would be a New Low for Scottish Football
By: Daryl |Scottish Premier League fans – of any persuasion – should be crossing their fingers and hoping Kris Boyd’s transfer from Rangers to Birmingham City doesn’t go through.
It’s no secret that there’s more money and stronger competition south of the border, and it’s not hard to understand players wanting to trade Premier Leagues. But when the [...]
It Wasn’t a Boruc Howler, It Was a Rankin “Squiggler”
By: Daryl |You’ve probably heard about the goal Celtic conceded during defeat to Hibs at Easter Road this weekend as a howler from Artur Boruc. But that doesn’t give enough credit to the man who struck the ball from 45 yards: John Rankin.
Though Boruc certainly looked silly, the goal had as much to do with Rankin’s strike [...]
Nakamura Wins PK, Checks Video To See If He Was Fouled.
By: chris |It was a good win for Celtic over the weekend against Kilmarnock, but it didn’t come without some controversy. They were comfortably leading 2-0 in the 80th minute when Shunsuke Nakamura was tackled from behind by what looked to be the ghost of Christmas past, resulting in a penalty. Frazer Wright, the guilty party (up [...]
The Offside Euro 2008 Champion: Charles Snyder
By: Dave Martinez |Over three weeks of tournament action and only one country stood tall: Sweden. Ibrahimovich proved to be unstoppable in the virtual world, earning glory for his country where the real world left a bit to be desired. Standing in the finals against a tough Croatian squad, they dispatched their opponents 2-1 for [...]
Rangers’ Favorite Ref Strikes Again
By: Ian Rose |Rangers took a big step toward finishing off the SPL title today, finishing off Dundee United 3-1. The real story of the game, though, was the referee, which is never a good thing. Mike McCurry is, far and away, the most controversial official in the Scottish game, and for years, Celtic supporters as [...]
Title Watch Update
By: Laurie |A couple of titles were settled this weekend, and a couple of challenges got more complicated. Here’s what the Title Watch looks like after this weekend’s games:
Italy: Serie A
In an odd turn of events, AS Roma were AC Milan’s biggest fans this weekend as Milan dispatched cross-town rivals Inter, 2-1. Roma beat Sampdoria [...]
Clubs on the Verge of Domestic Titles
By: Inara |Though there’s still several weeks left in most European football leagues, some domestic title races are already over. In Portugal, Porto were declared champions (though they might be relegated) while in Greece, Olympiakos won their 36th title (thanks in part to a court decision).
This weekend could see a few more clubs step into the [...]
Ronald Koeman Not Missed In Spain, But Wanted Everywhere Else
By: chris |It’s been a hectic year for Ronald Koeman, swapping hilly Holland for Spain, and it appears he’s the type that doesn’t stay single for long, with a host of suitors already knocking on his door. At least that’s according to the always-reliable agent. However, if he’s looking for a letter of recommendation, must we suggest [...]

All About Promotion: Who’s Coming Up in Europe?
By: Laurie |The other day we talked about the rather depressing subject of relegation. Today though? The sun is shining, so let’s move on to a much happier topic: Promotion. What second-level European teams may be moving up to the top flight?
This is not just a pride issue. It’s a huge [...]
