By Matt | May 4th, 2008Bhoy, are you guys unlucky. I was planning on doing a live blog for yesterdays game, bright and early at 7:30 Eastern Time. You would have been exposed to some unprecedented obscenities for the first 60 minutes of the game. "Some artists work in o ...
Motherwell Preview
By Matt | May 2nd, 2008Rather than talk about "anti-fitbaw", it is time to focus on Motherwell. After all, why talk about the second time a Scottish team did something? Anyways, tomorrow morning will see the Bhoys travel to Fir Park. The last time the Green and White we ...

By Matt | April 30th, 2008News broke today of Henrik Larsson, King of Kings, will be returning to Celtic Park to wear the Hoops one last time. Henrik will be joining other members of the famous 1998 Celtic side that "stopped the 10" to honor the late Phil O'Donnell for a tri ...

Play it again, Sam.
By Matt | April 11th, 2008'Well it's the same old same old. (See what I did there? I made a pun with Motherwell's name since we are playing them AGAIN!) We have Motherwell again this weekend, this time at Fir Park. Motherwell's season has been marked by tragedy and a poor ...
Derek Riordan: A Metaphor
By Matt | April 6th, 2008Another game, another mind bending, hair pulling, teeth mashing performance by Celtic. The Bhoys went down to Motherwell 1-0 at Celtic Park yesterday. I was only able to listen to the game and not see anything, but the goal sounded like an error ...

Fir Park to host the Water Polo Event for the 2010 Commonwealth Games
By Matt | March 15th, 2008Well, not really, but once again Celtic's trip to Motherwell has brought the wrath of mother nature. The combination of Scottish Winter/Spring rains and two teams being the shite out of the Fir Park pitch has meant a laundry list of of cancellations for
SPL considers ground sharing and summer football
By Ian Rose | March 3rd, 2008There are two issues being talked about most in football club offices in Scotland lately, and those are the issues of ground sharing and summer football. When a club is promoted from the First Division to the SPL, their stadium is often not up to SPL sta
SPL Wednesday Wrapup
By Ian Rose | February 27th, 2008A full schedule of midweek matches today, so here goes. Aberdeen 1-1 Motherwell Zander Diamond headed the ball in from the edge of the Motherwell penalty box to put the Dons up 1-0 early. Since the wonderful performance at Pittodrie against Bayern Mu
Hearts now relying on wind power
By Graham | February 25th, 2008Stephen Frail is reported today suggesting that games should be called off when it's too windy. The temptation to link such a remark to the normal status of commentary emanating from Tynecastle is severe but I shall pass. And it was passing that gave H
Dundee shock Motherwell 2-1 in Scottish Cup
By Ian Rose | February 12th, 2008Motherwell Football Club continues to struggle to find its footing. It's hard to believe that it was less than two months ago that Motherwell lost their captain, Phil O'Donnell, to a heart failure after collapsing on the pitch. Since that tragic day, th

SPL Preview: Burns Day Special
By Ian Rose | January 25th, 2008Happy Robbie Burns Day, everyone. Today, 249 years ago, legendary Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns was born. As is the tradition of my forefathers, I plan on celebrating his birth with a bit of haggis and a much larger bit of whisky. But first,
Another step backwards for Hearts in defeat to Motherwell
By Graham | January 23rd, 2008It turned out as expected. The passion from the first encounter at Tynecastle was missing and it was hard to believe that a home tie against Dundee was the reward for a victory here. Although a glaring miss by Andrius Velicka and a soft penalty award for
Are Hearts really favourites to win at 'Well?
By Graham | January 22nd, 2008One win in their last five against unbeaten in three games. Those are the sort of numbers that would make the latter team appear to be favourites for tonight's Cup replay at Fir Park between Motherwell and Hearts. But that would make Hearts favourites and
Well, well: Hearts draw with ‘Well
By Graham | January 13th, 2008I felt we were on a bit of a hiding to nothing with this game: nobody in the world but Hearts fans wanted Motherwell to lose. And for most of us it was more a case of wanting to see a Hearts victory after so long than wishing any ill on the Steelmen. In t

Phil O'Donnell dies during SPL match
By Ian Rose | December 29th, 2007It's been a tragic year in football. Sevilla fans watched in horror as Antonio Puerta fell to the ground and died. Lazio supporter Gabriele Sandri was killed needlessly in Italy. Eight died in the stadium collapse in Brazil. And now, I'm sad to report
Hibs' highland curse continues, Celtic falter
By Ian Rose | December 8th, 2007That's why I don't bet on football, especially Scottish football. Over the course of a season, as everyone knows, a bet on one of the Old Firm to win the SPL is a pretty safe one, but any given week, any team in the SPL can get a result. I really though
Rangers make up ground, Caley wins at Dundee
By Ian Rose | December 1st, 2007It's been an interesting day in Scottish football. As JT at the Celtic Offside predicted, his Bhoys only managed a draw away at Hearts today, opening the door for Rangers to make up points. They did so, beating Kilmarnock 2-0 to make the race for the SP
