A Celt’s a Celt for a’ that, Burns included

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

You increasingly get the impression that Alex McLeish will have to say/have said something really, really bad in his interview with the SFA to stop him getting the Scotland job. Micky Adams quit Coventry City yesterday and the bookies immmediately tipped a former favourite for the job: Gary McAllister. He did a decent job there […]

Who’s next?

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Glasgow Science Tower come in, your time as the dominating force in Clydeside loftiness is up! Celtic are threatening to unleash no less than ‘the next Peter Crouch‘ on the green city. At only 19, young Ulsterman Kyle Lafferty has already notched up seven caps for Norniron. And he’s 6′4”. Crouch, of course, had a […]

Well, at least Berti’s ruled out…

By: Craig | Comments 1 Comment

A national team in crisis. Outrage from the terraces. Witless administrators. Qualifying hopes tarnished.
Yep, Berti Vogts‘ appointment as Nigeria manager was always going to be contentious.
As for his old job, well, unlike the appointment of himself and Walter Smith, the SFA are wasting no time in hunting down the new man. With one eye […]

Good Weekend/Bad Weekend

By: Craig | Comments 1 Comment

Good weekend for…
Steven Pressley - Elvis’ former devotees turned deviant, welcoming him onto the pitch and proceeding to boo him from the first kick onwards. He promptly shut them up with a solid performance in a great match.
Barry Ferguson - Walter Smith’s come up with a novel way to restore order at Ibrox…by rewarding […]

The Top Flight Tussle - Hearts v Celtic

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Guess who’s back? It seems that, in football, inserted in the contracts of every controversial transfer is the clause that the player must return for a game sharpish. No less so in the case of a certain S. Pressley, with just two games under his belt in the green and white of Celtic. He will […]

The lengths people will go to avoid Archie Macpherson…

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Comfort, o comfort ye Hoops and Hoopettes. We haven’t forgotten about you in the last week. We’ve just been keeping an eye on bigger business. Which is actually kind of fitting today.
Indeed, we’ve paid better attention to your needs than your football team, who most certainly have an eye on a cash bonanza. Naturally expecting […]

He’s on loan, so he won’t be deer

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Red Nose Day is still a couple of months away, but Falkirk are warming up nicely with the signing from Man City of Kaspar Schmeichel, son of none other than that legendary slice of Danish bacon, Peter. He’s gonna be showing off his old man’s dance moves until the end of the season. Of course, […]

Who can hold firm against the Old Firm?

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

The most protracted appointment since the days of Sweeney Todd has finally taken place and, to be frank, nobody really emerges with much credit from it all.
First of all, for all their efforts to keep Walter Smith on board, the SFA blazers have been found seriously wanting in the nation’s hour of need. Yes, given […]

Good weekend/Bad weekend

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Good weekend for…
Stephen Kenny - As predicted, Rangers dominate the headlines. As not predicted, Dunfermline supplied the ink. So this is what winning feels like.
Paul Mathers - Arguably the story of the weekend. As manager, he took Peterhead to last season’s playoffs only to be sacked a few months later. Making his professional debut between […]

Happy homecoming for Uncle Walt?

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Needless to say, all sorts of rumours flying around this morning surrounding a certain managerial vacancy. Walter Smith and Ally McCoist - the sorcerer and his apprentice from Rangers’ 90s heyday - are being bandied about by everyone and his wife. Indeed, the only question seems to be over their roles. Some are saying that […]
