Ireland-France key battles

Soccer Pie 12 November @ 09:22 AM EST

The play-off draw was by no means easy on Republic of Ireland and they have only FIFA officials to thank to for pitting them against underperforming but still very strong France side. This is obviously going to be most interesting duel in the World Cup play-offs and while we have no doubts both sets of players will be extremely motivated, it is the coaches that have the power to win this game for their team.

France World Cup Team Blog 01 November @ 12:35 PM EST

On paper, this shouldn't even be much of a matchup. France has the players with the big names and the big money.

You know. The ones who get all the press.

Too bad you can't play a match on paper.

Celtic Ready for £10m McGeady Bids from Juventus & Bayern Munich

Caught Offside 28 September @ 06:01 AM EST

Continental giants keen on talented winger.

And both Juventus and Bayern Munich want to pay £10m for the privilege of having Aiden McGeady running about looking quite nippy dribbling the ball about without ever seeming to, somehow not quite, not really sort of... anyway.

FTK reveals Celtic manager’s secret identity with video footage!

Arsenal Insider 31 August @ 10:07 AM EST

Eduardo's dive against Celtic has ignited an inferno, with simulation being singled out by the referees providing you are not Man United. Rooney has been shown to have started falling before making contact with Almunia by Sky's football camera's, and Celtic received a dose of their own medicine as they claimed Aiden McGeady as the next patron saint as he tripped over his boot laces adjacent to a Hibernian player who had to jump into the air himself so as to prove the absence of contact.

Spurs on the hunt at Parkhead

SoccerLens 24 August @ 02:43 AM EST

Does it make good business sense for Celtic to sell two of the elite players in the SPL to Spurs?

There have been several stories doing the rounds this summer regarding Spurs and Celtic players Scott Brown and Aiden McGeady. With a 20 million pound price tag on the SPL duo it sure would make sense for the Mowbray to part company with his young midfield duo.

Video: Battle of Britain: Arsenal 2 Celtic 0

Soccerblog 18 August @ 07:19 PM EST

A well struck free kick by Fabregas inadvertently hit William Gallas on the back and took a fortuitous deflection into goal but even if it had not there was an outside chance that the shot might have been able to evade the hands of Artur Boruc. The second goal was an own goal as an unfortunate Gary Caldwell diverted a Gael Clichy cross past his own keeper.

Arsenal take commanding lead against Celtic

Soccer Tickets Online 18 August @ 06:30 PM EST

It was not pretty but a deflected William Gallas opener and second-half own goal from Gary Caldwell put Arsenal firmly in the driving seat in this UEFA Champions League play-off tie as the visitors earned a 2-0 victory against Celtic.

The home team had more than matched Arsène Wenger's side for the best part of 45 minutes in Glasgow before Gallas deflected Cesc Fà bregas's free-kick into the net just before the interval.

It's game time let's beat these Scots like general Gnaeus Julius Agricola at the battle of Mons Graupius (boom! history joke!). The good news is that Denilson, Sagna, and Cesc all passed their fitness tests and are ready to go. The bad news is that Diaby passed his fitness test and is ready to play (I kid, I kid).

Promises to be a cracker!

English Premier league 17 August @ 11:02 AM EST

Â

We travel to Celtic Park tomorrow for the first leg of our Champions League qualification fixture. It's a shame that only one of two clubs this size will go through to the Champions League group stage, but it does result in a mouthwatering tie this early in the year. 40 million pounds and any CL hopes is on the line, and the fixtures will be played in two of the best atmospheres in Europe.

How nice to sit through a Socceroos match with a smile the entire 90 minutes. Pim Verbeek couldn't have asked for a more emphatic performance this morning and should satisfy even the most ardent of his knockers.
Right from the opening whistle Australia dominated this match and even though Ireland were unlucky not to score at least 1 goal the end result was well deserve. Click to continue reading...

Gordon Strachan leaves Celtic

Soccer Pie 27 May @ 02:06 AM EST

After four very successful years, Gordon Strachan has decided to leave Celtic. The speculations regarding his future had been mounting throughout the season but it seems that losing the SPL title to Rangers was the last drop. The Bhoys were on the verge of winning the fourth consecutive league title, having led the race with Rangers from the very start of the league campaign, but the big downtrend in form during the latter stages of the season allowed Gers to leapfrog them in the standings and win the long-awaited title.

Tomorrow sees the clash of the top two in Group 8 qualifying from next year's World Cup as Italy host Ireland in Bari (K.O. 8.50 pm Local time).

After Italy's win away to Montenegro last Saturday courtesy of two goals from Pirlo & Pazzini, they stand two points clear of the pack. Ireland will be disappointed to have dropped 2 points at home to Bulgaria, a Kevin Kilbane own goal equalising for the visitors after Richard Dunne put the Boys in Green ahead after just 36 seconds.
