No conspiracy theories here !!!, 28 Dec 2001

By	co_longford@yahoo.co.uk (Lanarkshire, Scotland) - See all my reviews

Having received this book as a Christmas gift I thought I'd get round to reading it by the summer. Having started a chapter on Referees and the bias against Celtic in recent years, I have finished the book in 2 days !!
Having been one of the many Celtic fans to question the 'allegiances' of certain refs and having seen some bizarre decisions being given against us, the referee chapter was most interesting.
There are chapters on Celtic players not being picked for the Scottish national team as often as they should have, Charlie Tully being the best example, and Celtic's dealings with the SFA in recent years, Jorge Cadete signing fiasco etc...

I would recommend this book to all Celtic fans and to football fans with an open mind, or who think they are hard done by !!!

Read it, enjoy it and realise it was'nt all in our minds !!!!

Ignore the ignorant Mr Street, 26 Aug 2007

By	MK (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Celtic's Paranoia...All in the Mind? (Paperback)

This is an excellent book but can probably be only truly understood by Celtic fans who have the misfortune to live in the West of Scotland.

'These things even themselves out in the long run'. A phrase used by the last reviewer and many others. I do have to laugh at the way this is stated as some sort of fact. Maybe,just maybe, things don't even themselves out!

In any case the book covers the anti-catholicism and anti-irish sentiment and by extension the anti-celtic sentiments in the west of scotland in the early 20th century. Chapters are dedicated to Celtic's treatment for flying the Irish tricolur above their ground in 1951 and to individual refereeing performances. The attitude of some jouranlists(sic) towards Celtic is also mentioned.

A fine read but as previously stated only for Celtic fans or those with an open mind.

As for Bob Kelly helping 'Celtic specifically'. He was the Chairman of Celtic. Is that not his job? But then again it's not paranoia, it's a catholic conspiracy by the council,the lord provost and every person attached to celtic according to Mr Street.

Incidentally, Neil lennon never received death threats playing for Northern ireland until he was a Celtic player regardless of how many caps he had or his religion.

But as Mr Street says in his first paragraph it must be my 'upbringing' - ah, the famous cliche - 'Blame Catholic Schools'

Paranoia? I think not!

See what your up against., 4 Aug 2004

By A Customer

A reader from Rutherglen, clearly not a Celtic fan and admits he has not read the book still manages to take time out to write a "review". His "review" or should I say swipe exposes the prejudice he and his ilk have against anything Celtic. I wonder if he would ever criticise the bile that pours from the stands of his own club Glasgow Rangers, instead of his cheap swipe at a book he has never read. Clearly a book for Celtic fans, Rangers fans need not apply.

Yes, it is all in the mind.
Tom Campbell should hang his head in shame for writing this piece of garbage, but the publishers are equally to blame for putting it into the public domain. Read more
