PART ONE-THIS DAY IN HISTORY For 27th October, 2018 This is the Day in History: Constantine had his famous vision of ‘The Cross of Christ’ in 312 C.E. 130 years…

‘Celtic has that same position in Scotland (as Juventus in Italy) – a very narrow, niche market where the media revenues are tiny. But there is a diaspora of potential…

No,not some crap Channel 4 programme presented by a couple of French geezers-though if I’d known Carla Bruni would be on it,I might have watched it-,no this is about something…

Im not an avid fan anymore when compared to the past though I still like to think I know the lay of the land as far as the beautiful game…

Good morning. Now that we are nearing November,it might be as good a time as any to assess the season so far. Sure beats the crap out of a poppy…

Morning,all. Wonderful guest post from MIKE of this parish. ***** Jimmy Cricket, puts on his wellies and reflects on his journey to Seville, now “L is for right and “R…

As we wave a sad farewell to our Best Player series-canny believe Mahe throwing a McGrory curveball at the death!-I’m delighted to introduce the following. On This Day,which is compiled…

Im saddened to end that great series but life moves on . I believe it was my partner in crime Majoc who mentioned a very special year on here earlier…

majoc… As we move on to the final pick,there is really only one man who is going to be my choice. Henrik Larsson. I first saw him in the 1994…

Majoc,,, The first time I saw this player,I was 7yo. It was a testimonial match,end-of-season stuff. Frank Beattie of Kilmarnock. We had a young kid in the team,red in the…

Majoc,,, Well,if you’ve got Jinky on the right,you have to have his great pal,Lemon,on the left. Bobby Lennox,another member of both The Lisbon Lions and our greatest ever team,voted by…

Majoc,,, As we move on from the midfield to the forward line,I’ll start us with our greatest ever player. Jimmy Johnstone. Oh,the joy,the pleasure,we could get from the terraces as…

Majoc,,, Bertie Auld. Every team needs a Bertie Auld type. That wee bit older,more experienced. More than happy to use a bit of dig to win the midfield battle-or a…

Majoc,,, It will come as no surprise to anyone that my first  midfielder is Bobby Murdoch. Jock Stein reckoned Bertie and Bobby was good enough for him,so it’s good enough…

Majoc,,, Our next choice is the second central defender. Some managers like their no-nonsense centre-halves so much that they have two-or sometimes even three-of them. I think Bob Paisley is…

Majoc,,, Moving on now to the central defenders… Oh there’s only one King Billy,that’s McNeill! Was Billy the most accomplished centre-half I’ve seen play for us? I think maybe Paul…

Majoc,,,, On Day Three,we take a look at the left back position. In my opinion,the stand-out is Tommy Gemmell. So good,in fact,that we had to wait about forty years for…

Majoc… We move on to the right-back position. And there can be only one! No he’s not a Highlander,though he is immortal. He is of course Danny McGrain. Where do…

Morning,all. International break time. Again. Doncha just love them? They’re absolute poison to Timternet as we know,so here at Sentinel Celts,we’ve decided to be different. We will run for the…

Morning,all. I’m down to a gentle simmer now,so I’ll not mention Thursday. Today is another day,although our league performances so far this season have been more like Groundhog Day. To…

I thought Glasgow Celtic played well in the first half last night. Didnt concede in the first 20 mins ( the golden rule ) , had an out ball and…

Morning,all. Sometimes you see something that just jumps out at you and you know what your next article is going to be about. The statement from Celtic FC about the…

Ask a chairman to sum up his dream manager and I would expect the answer to be a young popular ex player who has shown  tactical nous . Imagine such…

Morning,all. Once again,I’m going to return to a recurring theme. Licensed thuggery,and all condoned by referees in particular and the Scottish game in general. And it seems,also by our beloved…

I always try to draw distinction to whichever branch of the Celtic family I am referring to at the time . Im sure this has and does drive some people…

Morning,all. Today sees us at home to our recent closest challengers,Aberdeen. They have caused us some problems lately,not least when beating us on our own patch in May. Like ourselves,they’ve…

Maybe youve noticed , maybe you havent but there has been a subtle yet large shift in Sports Media world . That world was always sewn up , as you…

They first make mad. That’s generally attributed to Longfellow,in The Masque of  Pia Zadora. And I know what he meant,cos I’m mad as hell,and the worst thing is,I can do…

So I had previously admitted to a wee bit of admiration for the Red Devils of Manchester. Today I will admit something else , Ive been watching the Pool a…

Today for a change I will be looking at German football as certain events there have peaked my interest . I swear this to you now though , I often…

To me it encapsulates everything good and bad about the State’s . Not La . The NFL . The season is upon us and the little sign’s are everywhere. Dont…

The achievements/numbers are good in the sense that we could all relax and luxuriate in comfort, if the ball didn’t need to keep rolling. Already that set of achievements are…

Get outta dodge ? Good Lord I would love to . When I watch Celtic play in Europe the thought strikes me , in true Jim Bowen style , heres…

Morning,all. First thing on the agenda is a thank you to everyone for the kind words about the site. MAHE has worked wonders in getting it up and running,and I…

I had never understood why the club weren’t more vocal in general and sometimes screaming to the heavens about the man with the whistle. I see bias mixed with incompetence…

“May you live in interesting times” is an English expression purported to be a translation of a traditional Chinese curse. While seemingly a blessing, the expression is normally used ironically,…

I can’t help but get the feeling now when I see Martin on the sideline that it won’t be for much longer . And not only that old devil time…

Morning,all. Must admit,I’ve had better weekends. It didn’t start very well in Paisley,and yesterday’s results indicate that we are in a battle for this title. How did it come to…

For those seeking something different than the “ beautiful “ game this weekend , Las Vegas brings us the first of two combat mega fights in the space of three…

FITBA’S BACK!!! Hallelujah,these international fortnights do my nut in. A fortnight without football-that’s three potential matchdays lost-due to a friendly and a nothing game against Albania. No wonder the clubs…

CRIME/PUNISHMENT & CONSEQUENCES There was always be a ‘Rangers’ in one form, or another, even if they had actually stopped playing in 2012 and Ibrox had been partially bulldozed and…

In regards to Awe Naws comment . Awe naw, thank you for your excellent work. You do the site credit . As someone who prefers to know where he stands…

International fortnights,doncha just love ’em? I know rabid football supporters who book their citybreaks around them,anything to avoid even hearing about them. Its even worse now,with the advent of a…

The are signs in Celtic cyberspace that the Res12 issue may soon draw to a close. As far as I am concerned the sooner the better even  if if it…

So it’s on , no doubt about it . It’s not quite the honest mistakes we are getting treated to this time it’s the overturned mistakes. After the last couple…

More and more Im seeing clubs opt for transparency in their enterprise . Plans are no longer well guarded secrets and many boards have made the decision to announce their…

Bob Woodward,the highly-respected journalist who,with Carl Bernstein revealed the truth behind Watergate in the early ’70s,has just released a new book about,he claims,the disfunctional Trump presidency. The claims he makes…

Perhaps it was just myself but I couldn’t help but see some similarities between our transfer window and that of another big club , the Red Devil’s of Manchester. Dad…

Im an expat but when I did live at home I was truly engaged with the sport in general. It was easy to do,,the papers are full of it and…

Or,That Was The Window That Was. Of course,the original programme launched many great careers,but is so old that most of us only got to see it on repeat. If you’ve…
